Do I Look, or Could I Pass, as Female? 4.0

[toyaddic29]

One day, I'll have better photos (where I don't have to Photoshop them or use makeshift boobs).



Tomorrow afternoon, I go to the clinic for my endo referral. Check out what they have on their New Patient form:

You look great sweetie

Be nice everyone!!! I know they aren't the best photos but, at least, they're taken using an actual camera. And by another person! My selfies always come out wrong. Perhaps I need one of those stick things? Perhaps you don't really need to know that. Anyhow I suppose I'm getting there! Pre-everything other than two sessions of laser and lots of make-up. Which is something I've always enjoyed doing. Make-up I mean! Also the eyebrows  lol!! Had a bad job and currently growing them back in for a good job next week. They look like caterpillars - Arrggh!





Get the look!

Foundation - Max Factor Olive Pan Stik
Powder - Max Factor Crème Puff translucent base and medium beige final dust
Eyes - Revlon Primer, Maybelline nude eyeshadow, Bourjois Ultra Black mascara, Revlon grey eye crayon, Max Factor (I think) powder brows kit
Lips - Max Factor poppy red lipstick

Clothes - Primark and Matalan, necklace was a present

Hair - Messy style after wash and condition using Goldwell Hot Form spray and Glamour Whip magic finish. And two spring clips  (damn you Lucy Worsely and your making me want to use hair clips).

Anyhow - what do you think? There's still a long way to go...

* Edited to add - I'm looking a little serious because I was trying to tell the photographer how to work the camera at the same time!! I kept thinking about that so couldn't adopt the most natural pose 

You have pretty good presentation skills already, and you have a great base to begin with. Het and more lasers will do wonders for you

Yes. You are fashion sensible, and seem to pass well.

As you mentioned, you may trim your eye brows nicely to look more feminine.
You may avoid closing your lips too tightly.

Thanks so much Amber and Barbie!! I'm still jealous of the hair (in both of your cases) - but this is all a journey isn't it. Kind words are always worth so much; like little stars in the night that keep us powering on through it all.

And Barbie - thanks, re the lips. I was kind of concerned the photographer was about to drop my camera in those pictures, hence the serious, but I'll definitely give that a try. I hadn't thought of it until you said so next time I will.

Maybe you can try changing your eyebrows. I like your make up!

<- This is me with a wig

This is me with my natural hair:


This is my 5th Mont on HRT Update (Yes Im on 5 months btw, I haven't had laser hair removal yet, so if u can see a 5 o' clock shadow, its because im bad with make up, I dont know what to use to cover it, plus I feel like my facial hair just grows rlly fast  italian genes)


Any tips is appreciated, I'm thinking about getting hair extension that match my natural color, but then I would probably have to straighten my hair most of the times, etc... Plus they might be too expensive if I want human hair.

[kittenpower]

I think that you have enough length for a pretty hairstyle. Have you tried using a flat iron, curling iron, hairdryer with round brush, etc. or perhaps going to a stylist and asking for a makeover would be beneficial. Best wishes

[Serena]

I went with the hairdryer and brush route but it drys up my hair too much and makes them fall out so i dont like to do that too often lol, when I used to use flatiron my hair didn't fall as much, so maybe i'll go with that, but since I want to grow them out more, I'd rather not to use heating tools because IM scared that they might ruin them.

Heat tools will not damage your hair if you use a temperature that is right for your hair type and use a heat styling product to protect it.  Wearing wigs for long periods of time may be worse for your hair than heat tools.

How female do i look now, and how female do you think HRT will make me look?

Okay!

what are things i can do pre-HRT to improve my passability?

[Dee]

The Rachels in this room look great, no matter which way you spell your names! :p

It's a little hard to tell from the angle, but the first place for me is usually getting the eyebrows under control. Not that women are supposed to have perfectly shaped eyebrows, but if you're looking for something which distinctly interprets as feminine, this can do a big job! Likewise, your eye makeup is gorgeous, but maybe toning down a little could help. But that's also my preference showing.

Other than that, there are a lot of micro mannerisms that can help others better interpret you as female. If you can surround yourself with other women, try letting yourself relax, and you'll slowly adapt.

[archlord]

pre-anything and no makeup at all

Just did my eyebrow and i should start hrt soon.

What do you think?

[rachel89]

Did my eyebrows today also.
