The brows make a subtle difference but it can be make or break. I think you look good either way.

ditto

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm really pleased that you all think I've got a good place to start from. I've got a couple of months of therapy to get through first, but I'm starting to think that 2016 is going to be the year where I begin to change. 🙂

I just hope I actually do make progress now, and am not still saying the same things this time next year.  😛

Doubt I will ever pass but hoping with some work could be accepted as a female.

In those pics you look fantastic!  We are our own worst critic, wish there was a cure for that....

So I was curious and figured I'd get another person's opinion.

On the left is me with just my face, hair back, and hat. (I know I look terrible lol) On the right is with my eyebrows edited and hair in the front. (I think I look better smiling o .o) I didn't put on makeup either. I haven't started HRT yet so I know I probably don't pass but do you think I might have a shot for now if I just get my eyebrows done (sort of like the picture on the right)? I'm scared of going out in public en femme because I know my eyebrows are waaay too masculine atm and I'm afraid of screwing them up by plucking them myself. I kind of want to try to stay natural for now and only rely on makeup if I really need it... which I probably do but yeaaaah.

With groomed eyebrows I think you really pass good. You look cis at both pictures. But groomed eyebrows suit you and give you a feminine cuter look. You have a very feminine face. I think you're very lucky.

How long have you been at HRT? HRT usually make your face rounder and would help a bit. Round face is seen as femininity often. If I meet you at the street, I would probably think you're a woman. But if I look close at the picture, I can notice some masculine features like the head shape and the jawline. You pass better than many trans women btw.

Would be helpful for a pic without the glasses, but based on these pics i'd say you pass

Thank you. Your very kind. I have been on e for about 6 months. I don't think that had much of an effect physically. I started spiro with e about a month ago. I really hope my face will round out. I tried a face recognition site and I get only about 20% female. I know lots to work on but that was crushing. I was nervous about posting a pic without glasses because I am not full time. Glasses helped a lot and sure feel I look better with them. I should be getting my eyebrows done soon but not totally feminine yet. Here is a pic without glasses.

Without glasses you're not passing 100%. You have the potential and few female features. The features in your face is androgen. But your head shape is often considered as more masculine, especially by the society. Strong jawline and squared is seen as masculine. Round face is feminine. HRT/Estrogen isn't so powerful as T, so it would take longer time before you would discovering big changes. But after a couple of years, you would probably notice them.
I'm honest with you.

Lovely pics. you pass. Hugs

Kawaii! You look great, especially with the hair and edited eyebrows! When you're ready, maybe have a female friend help you pluck your eyebrows a little, and if you only do a little bit people won't notice too much when you aren't en femme.

I was messing around with InStyle magazine's makeover tool.  Do I look female?

Also, how do I embed an image instead of a link?

Your two other pics look nice, the edited one is way OTT 

Vinyl Scratch is right. You look fine in the natural pics, but the edited one could use a little toning down a bit. The basic idea being is sometimes a little color goes a real long ways. Hugs

1. Find the [share to other devices] button on your page.  It's a grey circle with an arrow pointing right.

2. Left click on [direct] to the right.  This should copy pic address.

3. Come here and right-click paste to your post and bracket the address with: [ img ] (address goes here) [ /img ]

For step 3 tho, remove all the spaces (I can't show it without the spaces because it'll format and show up as )

Tada!  Result:

I also use photobucket. If you are using app, then just click share, copy link to clipboard, and the 4th option is IMG. Click on that and just paste into the post. You don't have to use the "[IMG]" brackets on the site. It'll do it automatically.

Edited pictures: The edited picture have a exaggerated look and it's easy to see it's edited, but I can't editing, so I can't give you a tutorial. The hair doesn't match the head properly and I can easily see you edited hair at the picture. I can see the gap between your right cheek and the hair. But the lipstick is nice. It doesn't look so edited. The makeup look more convincing than the hair. You would pass better if you groomed your eyebrow, but it's hard for me to rate from the edited picture. It's easier to tell you from a not-edited picture.

Non edited pictures: You body pass very well. It looks convincing and it could be a cis woman's body. Your face have mixed features between feminine and masculine features. But it wouldn't be a so big problem for passing. The major thing that can help you passing is grooming your eyebrows. The society thinks thinner eyebrow is femininity, but thick eyebrows are masculine. You can also get lesser squared glasses. The squared one would give you a more masculine look. Glasses with another form would appear more feminine. Maybe you can grow out your own hair. Long hair make you pass much easier. If you consider a wig, I would recommend you wigs made of real human hair. They are expensive, but really worth it. They are very convincing and nobody can tell if they are real or not.
