New pic today after my blood test! Still pre hormones at 50! Trying to look pretty for summer. No glasses but I'm now blind as a bat! Need them! Nice to be girly despite my  age :-)

I know my hair is a mess and I really need to start practicing makeup

You're just darling, maybe a little work on those eyebrows.

You look very cute. Oh and I love that dress! As Auntie Shan suggested you might try working on your eyebrows a bit. When your hair grows out you could try getting a layer cut to better frame your face and you'd look awesome!

Best Wishes!

Like me you have the figure for it (though I am trying to flatten my belly a bit). Your photo suffers somewhat from over-contrasty-camera syndrome which accents the shadows under the brow, top of the nose, under the eyes, and under the bottom lip. If you use a poor quality camera, it usually helps to pull it into photoshop and adjust the contrast using the "levels" filter until the contrast level matches reality. Not doing so can give you a false impression of how you look to people.

If you want my suggestions:
1 - makeup, and don't overdo it, just a touch. Use it to reduce the shadows under your brow, and eyes, the top of your nose, and under your bottom lip, eyeliner maybe?
2 - posture, you and I suffer from the same thing. "Stack your blocks" as my mother used to say.
3 - eyebrows, if you're going to present as fem consistently, you have enough eyebrow that you can shape them by plucking what falls outside of the shape you want, a nice arch should be pretty easy. I've seen some people use concealer and eyebrow pencil to shape them instead so they can go back to "boy mode", though with yours as thick as they are, I'm not certain how that would look.
4 - Glasses (JUST KIDDING, that's just me obsessing over glasses lately)

Looking good! I can relate about the glasses...I am planning on buying contacts, I only wear mine when I am driving, but I really can't see anything more than a few feet away from me without them :(

To Brenda, Emily and hikari! Thank u so very much for your comments :-). They do my fragile confidence much good!. Amazing what make up, wig and good fitting dress can do! Needed help from understanding make up artist to help me! Red head or brunette?  - good to have choices , although I would give anything to have a full head of natural own  hair like you girls :-). Hikari - as previously stated you have gorgeous hair just to die for!!!!.
Having lunch with a few girls in Edinburgh today! Should be fun despite rain forecast. At 50 my bio clock is ticking fast- decision re hormones not that faraway now! Need them to make the real differences I need . Big hugs xxxx

Nati

Hello everyone,
sorry for my english.
I'm wondering if i could pass as female in everyday life, i'm now 8th month on HRT and i'm still afraid to go out.
First photo was taken 1,5month on HRT, second one about 5th month on HRT, i know i'm pretty big and i got muscles but i have pretty hard time to loose my weight even with diet and excercises.
And yes i'm wearing a wig on my big head.

How could you not pass as female?

I got pretty big man-ish arms only loong sleeves for me and i'm still pretty muscular and still when i'm looking in a mirrior i see a man, maybe it's in my head.
I'm 36 now i would go trought transition when iw as 28 but i was told i will NEVER look as female and i could never pass, and that was in TS support group in my country.

Yes, I think it is in your head. I can't imagine why a support group would even say something like that - they must have been jealous and wanted to crush your soul or something. You have proved them wrong.

Hi Nati

Funny how I wouldn't pass as well as you do now at this moment but I was never told I wouldnt look as a women, maybe because Ive always looked andro

You're making a big step in the right direction, you look like a woman from what I can see

How do you feel about it, happier?

Edit: Yes some TS in support groups are pretty vile/envious. I try to give feedback occasionally if I think someone wouldnt pass without being a bitch about it
