Title: Feminizing myself

Hey!
This is a subject that has been playing on my mind for a long time now...
I was just wondering if there are any facial exercises to make my face more feminine?
I've tried makeup with no luck at all :(
So if anyone has any tips to make my face physically more feminine I would be most appreciative!
Also, any tips on getting curves? I've done a bit of corsetting and loved the look it gave
Thanks in Advance!

Hi AmberW My first response would be, probably not. Make-up though. Have you ever asked for advice; gone for a make-over? The first (hundred) times I tried, Dear god Buffy would have slain me, but once I got some tips, and loads of practice, well, lets say, I now feel a whole lot more comfortable going out in public. Good question though and If anyone thinks differently I will sign myself into the face gym.

In honesty, I've never asked for advice before :-\ I've been wearing eyeliner since I was about 14 (I'm 19 at present)
But if I try any other makeup, it looked horrific, even when someone else put it on!

Eye liner is THE MOST DIFFICULT OF ALL THE WAR PAINTS!! Seriously. That is one that I have never mastered.

I can do the basic one, with the flick at the corners but that's about it! I would love to do more though!

Best bet would to see an Endocrinologist and get put onto HRT. You will most likely have to have at least 6 sessions with a therapist first. HRT will give you the feminine body and somewhat facial features. (note hormones will not rid a prominant brow line) . Please don't take herbal HRT, it will do more damage than good, causing liver failure, heart problems ect. Make sure you go to an endo and get it done right.

Honestly AmberW ( and I'm assuming you're talking about before nasty blades and chemicals) get a make-over but let them do the "big reveal!" It will blow you away. I cried. Honestly.

Eyeliner arghh evil stuff. worst thing ever invented makeup wise. have tried pencils gel all sorts even now i have a liquid eyeliner pen though easier i still get it all wrong sometimes.
I would recomend you tube though i got loads of tips from that source. thats where i learned things like shading to make masculine features appear less prominent, things like that took some practice but i am finally getting it right.
As far as excercises go. i dont think there is much you can do that way. HRT should help. only thing i did was to lose a bit of weight this did help.

Good Luck misschievous, I hope it goes well for you too!
Shannon1979 I've always loved eyeliner, but I have so much difficulty with it as I'm partially blind in one eye...
I'll check out youtube soon I think, hopefuly I can find something
It's mostly just my laughter lines, in honesty
Plus, I have a bit of a masculine hairline, which doesn't help much
Thanks for the tips so far!
