Im just starting to dabble with makeup and am having a hard time finding products the my dense facial hair doesn't show through.  Can I get some recommendations on brands and products that may help? Any tricks to making your figure more feminine would be greatly appreciated as well.

I've read that orange lipstick rubbed into the beard shadow then foundation over the top works well to hide it. Haven't tried it myself yet.

Breast forms can be bought quite cheaply on ebay. I use pocket bras to hold them. They work really well. Hip pads can be made from foam cheaply or if you have some cash then silicone ones are better. I fancy some curvypads myself but they are quite expensive.

I find orange, peach or red lipstick to be very effective in concealing the blue/black from beard cover, however as it is designed for the lips it can be quite cakey and flakey once applied. If you are going to go down this route, best to find a cheap one as you will find yourself going through it quite quickly.

I have recently started using Five O'Sharp Concealer by Ben Nye which is specifically designed as a beard cover. I am finding I am getting much better coverage and a smoother, more natural texture using this product. Can be bought online from any specialty makeup (eg theatrical makeup) supplier.

When you say you have dense facial hair, does that mean you don't tend to trim it down?  Because if you do, a cream foundation is good because it's thicker than powder or liquid, and can do wonders to cover stubble.  I also have a friend I can ask, as he is both a makeup artist/enthusiast and has quite the beard.

I myself have been learning how to alter my face to look more feminine, especially when it comes to highlighting and contouring.  There are certainly more perspectives and techniques on this than I'd originally suspected, and would love to help you find ways to make you happier with how you present yourself, if that is a route you'd like to explore.  Most recently, I've been starting to play with eye contouring, and am seeing that the right balance of lines and shadows can make my eyes shapeshift in a variety of ways I hadn't thought possible  :)
