From that photo and angle you look feminine.  I don't see any obvious issues.

Suggestions from my recent experience:

- Try a local wig shop.  Put yourself together as best as you can with what you've got, and give them a call.  See if they do appointments or just drop in.  They'll likely have a number of wigs of the colors and length you might want, and they will work with you to get you something that looks nice on you.

- Once you've got the hair, try making an appointment with a makeup shop for a short 'makeover' to get a nice everyday look.  (I just did this, and should have done it months ago, before I wasted money on drugstore junk.)

In the USA, the MAC, Ulta, and Sephora chains all seem to be trans-friendly.  They have some overseas stores. MAC may have a private space if you are willing to pay for it. Ultra sells this service for something like $40, and Sephora will do a 45 minute makeover in some stores 'free' with a $50 purchase.  (It's easy to spend far more than that there, though, so look out!)  I don't know much about shops in other parts of the world, but it is certainly worth a try!
