Title says it all, when I apply makeup it honestly looks like regular me, maybe with a smoother skin and less beard shadow. Lipstick helps to stand out more but idk, am I doing something wrong? On another note I don’t have blush or eyeliner (the one eyeliner I bought yesterday ended up being completely dried out so no luck with that :/ ) I guess i expected my face to look more feminine and less…me, but idk am I having too high expectations? If not, what other stuff I can do to achieve that?

    Makeup by itself isn’t going to make your face look more feminine. It’s going to make your face look like you have makeup on. The makeup expert videos you may have seen? Where they can seemingly transform a face into something completely different? That is a difficult artistic skill that takes a lot of study and practice.

    Please don’t let that discourage you. Because it’s a skill, you should expect results that you think are disappointing at first, but the more time and effort you put into it the better you’ll get. Finding the right products for you is also important, so experiment away!

    Mascara can be a good start. Longer thicker lashes look feminine. And if you can handle it try eye liner. A pencil is easier at first.

    Also try growing your nails a bit and use nail polish. And wear tight female pants or those pant leggings or whatever they’re called. That way from your personal perspective you can look feminine! Shaving legs can be nice too.

    And honestly it’s a hit and miss for me. It’s more about maxing out the chance of things feeling right. And you know one day someone will see you that way too and that feeling will resonate back and forth and become powerful.
