First time dressing up completely. Getting eyebrows done this weekend. Going to a concert with friends tuesday. I'd prefer to minimize dirty looks from strangers.

Thoughts?

Makeup advice?

I am not sure how to make my face appear rounder aside like adding blush to cheeks.

  Brave soul, I applaud thee.

I have no advice but I wish you a fun outing with your friends.

Hugs,
   Jeanette

Your images are not displaying. They are not image format like jpeg and it appears I don't have permission to access them.

Sorry, they're hosted on google drive so I had to change the share settings. They were working for me so i didn't expect that.

They work now?

If it still doesn't work i'll put them up on imageshack or something.


Some technical stuff that doesn't matter a whole lot: The Url is a getter for a http REST call which returns a jpg so the image sent back is actually a jpg even though its not explicently stated in the url. Restful services are kind of weird like that.

Not working. It still appears to be a security issue. If possible, test it with a device that doesn't know about your google drive.

Rehosted with imgur in a public album.

I suggest you make your imgur account private.

Probably a good idea. I don't really use imgur. I use google drive so I dont know if my account is private or not. I just made one public album which contains all 4 images(for this site) I uploaded to it public.

On imgur you can create an album and set it as 'hidden' so only you or people you send the direct image and album links to can see them. You can also default all images and albums to hidden in the account settings! Really a great image hosting site once you get used to it.

Woo 3 months HRT me too! I am inexperienced and terribly bad at makeup so not much to offer there.. Except doing a bit more eyeliner and mascara? Don't go crazy, make sure to keep it subtle but you can find some great makeup tutorials on youtube and elsewhere. Absolutely smile, makes you look adorbs.

Ohw and the stares are always there -at least for me-, but you gotta shrug em off and just have a good time with your friends. A first outing can be quite scary, I wish you the best of luck and hope you'll have lots of fun! Any particular band/artist you want to see on this concert? :)

Head up, girls out, smile and be confident. 3 months HRT woohoo have fun and celebrate. As a woman you are going to get checked out...it is a little unnerving the first time it happens but you will have to get used to it. Women check each other out in exactly the same way I always have the same as you probably have as well. Apart from anything else...everything does not have to be perfect you are a work of art in progress.  ;)

Enjoy

I have some friends who have a local band called Hit the Shadows. https://www.reverbnation.com/hittheshadows (https://www.reverbnation.com/hittheshadows).

They are headlining for a metal group called Gemini Syndrome. https://www.facebook.com/events/266655630419711/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/266655630419711/)

I go to all their shows to support them. They're pretty small but it's super fun and the bartender makes this amazing fruity drink I love.

I wish I looked as good as you at 3 months!  I still look like a guy in dress at 5 months.  Enjoy yourself, and be careful!

Still learning makeup myself, so can't give you any tricks.  Sorry.
