Title: How do you deal with rough facial features?
Post by: Elsa.G on January 30, 2013, 09:39:27 AM
I mean besides having FFS? i don't have the money for that (im barely saving for srs) I know the face is very important in passing- i think it can be a easy give away  :embarrassed: I have rather masculine features and i still get clocked even though im full time now meaning i go out in femme all day every day. So can anyone give advice as how to deal with the facial issues? Also what are considered feminine facial features?

Hi Elsa,

I can't tell from your profile pic, but it doesn't look like you have super masculine facial features. How long have you been on HRT?

Well, first thing I'd ask is, "What features do I have that I see as male?" and ask for help with those features.

I'm mot sure there is a "list" of fem/masculine features, there seems to be a beautiful woman with mannish features everywhere...let's take care of what you need, what you would like changed, and we'll go from there.

A great hairstyle will mask them well. Frame the face and let hair go below your jawline. That gives the illusion that the mandible is less defined than it is.
