Not a Do I pass... But kinda...

[bluebirdx88]

I don't really like the term 'passing', as a matter of fact I highly doubt I do 'pass' anyway.. Buuut, I'm curious as to what you think and what advice I can get )

I guess I should also point out I was already 25 by the time I shot them and I hadn't yet started on HRT..... I've been on it for almost a month now and I'm also curious as how much change you think I can aspire to achieve..





As a bonus... A selfie when I had already been out and about for a good day or so, and not really having done my make-up all that well.. (Casual, y'know.. )

[whatever]

Oh sweetie you look fabulous. On esthetics alone indeed a pass. As we well know there is a whole lot more that goes into it than that. I try not to stress it too much anymore; I like to think I'll knock em out with my killer good looks and stunning personality (lol right!) I might not win them over with my singing voice, (or any part of my voice for that matter )

Seriously though your hair, makeup and fashion present a cohesive, confident and beautiful woman. You'll go far!

Oh honey, you are doing great!  That dress is absolutely perfect, flattering in the best of ways!  Your brow-bone is a bit heavy, and for that I'd recommend possibly using some makeup trickery to "lift" your eyebrows a bit, but besides that you are doing excellent!

Thank you so much! Definitely made me smile there, hehe... Yeah I totally understand, the voice thing is an issue for me too... It's been long since I acted mute, but eh... It's still annoying, hehe..

So pretty, love your hair! A definite pass!

The makeup compliments your face so nicely, IMO you don't look to need any at all

Aw, thank you! If I'm honest I do think I look better without it, my skin looks healthier and my eyes sorta stand out more (Don't ask, I don't know either...) But the shade from a beard which is shaven against the skin thrice a day... It needs to be covered, so not much choice ._. *hugs back!*

Why thank you! The dress was for an actual modelling shoot.. (You can probs tell the difference in quality between them and the 'selfie'), I tend to dress a lot more casual...As in the last pic...  I really appreciate the advice, honestly.. Eyebrow bones and shoulders have usually always been my main (I don't know the word.... Things that you are conscientious about?) I feel like a Neanderthal at times ;_; How  could I 'lift' them?

If you are self conscious of eye brow bones, or anything facial, that can easily be fixed with doing makeup right, its amazing actually.. Well you said youve modeled so you know what I mean..

As for shoulders I would think just wearing the right style and fit are important..

But sincerely, you look amazing, just the way you are..!

[androgynouspainter26]

Well, from my experience (and my brow is by no means light) if you pluck your brows as thin as you can from underneath, you can highlight underneath them extensively while doing eye makeup; white or pale eye makeup going on the corners of the eyes (where they meet your nose), underneath your brow ridge (to bring things forward)...basically, if it's dark on account of your heavy brow, make it pale.  Also, and it seems a bit counter-intuitive, I like to use a bit of dark eye pencil on the top of my eyebrows to make them appear a bit higher.  Those are my tricks, and eventually you'll discover your own' best of luck!

I appreciate it Honestly the style isn't a problem, I never really notice my shoulders that much when I'm dressed, it's more when you get out of the shower and see them in the mirror... Or when you see your shadow and start thinking.... Damn that's a lot of space on either side of my head :/ I guess everyone is a bit too self-conciencious at times...

Thank you so much for your advice!!!! I did this yesterday as you suggested... But unfortunately I had to pluck a bit from up top too, they looked weird otherwise... I heard about using white between eyes and nose, unfortunately I really need to get new shadows first though, all I have are dark or far too colourful... Pastel, but colourful. I'll try out using liner over them though... Hopefully I won't make a mess of it... I'd take pics so you could see how the new 'style' is.. But it's late and I'm kinda ready for bed, so I really don't look my best... Hopefully I'll have a chance tomorrow!

If I seen you in the street I'd clock you but that's cause im used to seeing people who have sex changes maybe not so much in the selfie

I'll admit they weren't my best days either and that does influence them.... Honestly I'm certain I look better RL than in pics.  And yeah I totally understand I've got the 6th sense too

You are a far more feminine and beautiful woman right now than I ever was. This includes the time in a sorority.

Keep it up!!!

Pass?  You look amazing!

[Jen72]

Pass you look awesome trust me my avatar is first attempt at anything I don't pass for anything other then a strange creature:)  I wish I could be a pretty as you:)  One day who knows then again maybe never but at least I can be pretty on the inside:)

the problem is to many worry weither they are passable or not, you should just get to where you are comfortable with yourself, passable or not, your confidence will show and people will except that - but in this case your are passable and only get better as you get further down the road with your transition...
