I've conquered my fear of being outside without foundation on

[stephaniec]

I've been wearing foundation for the past 3 years while going outside because I needed to cover my face like a mask for fear of being seen as male. these past 3 days I ran out and just didn't feel like spending 7 bucks for it. So I've been trying going  facially  naked accept for eyeliner and false eyelashes which I'm totally dependent on . I survived. Although foundation does good at covering my age spots.

Pretty awesome for you to take on that fear, sometimes I have problems doing that. Recently purchased some clothes but pre HRT, hair still kinda short, that 5 o'clock shadow, and skills with makeup that usually yields a result more suited to The Joker I am pretty nervous wearing them in public. Trying to get over it though. I just dont want to get hurt, that's all.

Was there any difference in how people reacted to you?

[stephaniec]

Well once the HRT took effect there is no difference, but I was too affraid to try going out without makeup if I was wearing a dress. Now, it doesn't seem to make much difference although I still can't figure out if woman stare because I look like Greta Garbo or a man in a dress.
