I graduate and turn 18 this month and my plan is to finish coming out and hopefully be on my way with HRT this summer, i recently tried eye makeup for the first time ever and i was wondering, even with that how do i do? I have horrid self esteem so I'm not going to trust my own opinion
EDIT:
I decided to streamline the pictures and add a couple more but thank you all omg you're all so great i'm really happy c:

Wow, you are super cute. Seriously. And this is before HRT? My god, you'll be the envy of every girl here in no time. Great shape to your face, love the hair, and the eye makeup really makes those suckers pop. I'm jealous- wanna trade? ;)
Cheers,

My favorite pic is the second one. So pretty.

You have nothing to worry about. It's not going to take much to get you over the hump.

You look feminine so don't worry about that. Of course voice and mannerisms play a huge part in passing also. (nothing that can't be learnt)
I always think the only way to really know is get out there and see what happens. If you mess up learn from it, the world doesn't end.
You did a very good job with the eye makeup that stuff's not easy. Took me about 10 years practice to get that far :P

From what I can tell, I don't think you will have an issue, especially since you are pre-hrt. Based on those pics I wouldn't worry about it.
One thing I would caution you is that we can't predict everything through a few photos. Without seeing you in person, there are things that we may not see or pick up on. However, I'm only saying that to be cautionary as I do think you will be able to pass, judging by my eyes.

I thought i did good with it c: i was really impressed with myself, but i've been doing some like "self training" for my voice and mannerisms, but the therapist i plan on going to offers training for that at no extra cost of you're already going to her for (MtF at least) trans stuff so that's super c:

You have bigs eyes and an adorably cute face. :) I think you're pretty cute already, and will become more so when you start hormones. Oh, and I like the makeup! Grow that hair out and give 'em that sexy hair twirl ^-^

I'd put you down as female without a second glance (though if we met, you'd likely get more than a second glance, because you're cute and I'm unsubtle ;) )

Each time I see a young girl as yourself it's a cause for pause, thinking how my life would be if only I would have been able to do this at your age. So yeah, you look great in my book. Best wishes, Dani

You have great bone structure for hrt to work with. Your young too so grow your hair out, and let hrt do the rest when you start.

I'm with the rest here - you'll have no problem passing. You're kinda cute already without HRT.
EDIT: I want to say I love the silver dress too.

You look gorgeous! I would just get thinner eyebrows, they arent impressively big now so if you like them like this is your choice xD just personal preference. You can totally pass!

You will pass really well even without hrt if you grew your hair out and maybe tweezed your eyebrows. For now keep working on the makeup and maybe try over drawing your upper lip ever so slightly with lip liner, but besides little things like that I think you will do great! ;D

Agreed. Natalatalie once you start hrt and grow your hair out a bit you'll be a very pretty girl. You've already got very nice features for hrt to sculpt into a pretty face. Just remember hrt takes time so don't expect results overnight and you'll do fine.
