I've worked on my image to fit my true self better if that makes sense? In doing so I've managed to attain this natural beauty without makeup. Which is just like a basic skin care routine and I make sure I stay constant about my hair care. All of these little factors make a grand difference on how you portray your personal beauty. I love makeup but I don't wear it as much as I'd like to for the simple fact I don't go to formal events at all. If anything I do light makeup and just brings out my best features even more. I don't wear makeup to please other people. I wear it cause I really love makeup, to me it's an art form that takes practice to get good at, like doing any other form of art.
I really want to get into modeling hence my love for makeup and fashion. Which is also another part of your personal beauty. Your style of clothing, can make the biggest difference in the world regarding your self image/self esteem. Nothing like the perfect pair of jeans to give you a confidence boost. Beauty in our society is not just our physical features but our entire presentation.
See this is where cis women are ahead of us though. They've had their entire life to work on their image for themselves. They understand what works for them and what doesn't, what they feel personally comfortable with. However in the end its whatever works best for you! A lot of us trans women go through an experimentation phase that lasts for what seems like forever. But eventually you do find yourself and what works for you, just like any other women does. We're just late to the game is all but we have the time to find ourselves. I mean this is the whole point of transition. Its that true beauty equals being ultimately happy and rocking whatever style you love. Whether that's boy clothes, super fem clothes. Lots of makeup, no makeup, it doesn't matter. I'll say it again it's what makes you feel ultimately happy and comfy. Worrying and trying to achieve an impossible standard of beauty is just setting yourself up for disappoint and even more struggles.
And yes pretty people are always gonna be treated better in our society unfortunately. But with the right look that makes you feel good about yourself thus bringing up your self esteem. It can bring out that internal beauty. You may not look like a runway model but in the end it's about self confidence. As long you have that, no one in this world can stop you.
