Thanks!
yea the wig was about $5 I really don't care about it i just got it to get an idea of what I would look like with long hair. Right now I'm just buying the cheapest things I can get until I figure out my size, style and to get a basic idea of how I'll look. I've also tried the red lipstick trick but its too red and makes me look like a clown.
Good call on spending very little money while you're finding your size and style, but don't get so cheap that you end up working with stuff that's absolute crap. I speak from experience; the $5 wigs look like $5 wigs, and for not too much more money, you can easily find a far higher-quality wig that'll do wonders for your appearance. Same with the makeup: I used to buy dollar store stuff in order to practice, but it was just such total crap that not even a professional model would look good in it; your average name-brand stuff from the local chain pharmacy isn't that much more expensive, but it looks a thousand times better.
That said, the hair color suits you, as does the length, but something a touch shorter and easier to manage might work better; you have quite a feminine face already, as well as a slender build, and no real need to detract from your natural features by hiding behind cute locks. Glasses are an easy fix - there's plenty of far more feminine styles out there. Beard showing? Yeah, that's probably the biggest flaw right now, but you already know that. My trick? Er, shave as close as possible, find a concealer that matches the skin color, slather it on, wait for it to dry, slather it on again, wait for it to dry, then put on the foundation. Sure, it makes me look like I'm wearing a mask, but for the occasional selfie or dysphoria-reliving binge, it's good enough. The good news is that laser would probably work very well on your beard given your hair color and skin tone. Once the laser thins the beard, you can be far more subtle with the makeup, and it's a huge boost to one's confidence.
Overall though, once you start munching those hormones, you're going to turn out extremely cute.
