I tend to wear more in the winter months where I go full foundation, but alway have my nails done and wear lipstick and mascara. So I guess no, makeup is a big part of my identity.

Since I went full time 6+ months ago, I can count the number of times I have worn makeup on one hand with figures left over. It's weird, but I don't feel I need it and I have yet to be miss gendered.

I pretty much only do my eyes and that is when I am going out or have company over. 

Up until about six months ago, I would never wear makeup.  I think I do it now more for how I look when out, and before I just didn't care as much.  I still do not like "stuff" on my face, but I do like when my eyes look pretty.

Depends where I am going I suppose.. To a friends place just to hang out... I will properly not wear makeup.. but if I go to that friend place for say a dinner party, I would wear some makeup.

I wear makeup daily to work, nothing too heavy, mostly eye makeup(Mascara, eye liner and eye shadow) with lipstick. At home I never wear makeup.. a trip to the mall, some makeup.

I would say I am comfortable without makeup.

I work in Male traditional role as a maintenance person, but openly identify as mtf transgender always. I do not do stealth or passing and am very proud of all of the barriers and resistance I have over came, and the fact that I am still alive is just amazing. I love to dress and have fully taken advantage of having my face done proper, however during work is just does not work much to dirty of an environment and would have to reapply several times a day. I rarely leave the house on my days off without being made up to the best of my ability. I feel it is important to me to look as well as possible and present my best always, it seems that to me there are many judgemental people about and I like to be my best. I am comfortable without make up but it sure is not my preference

I sometimes feel I'm on the wrong forum  I never wear any ! I moisturise and use factor 50. I'm so sorry I'm such a let down

 Depends. I don't usually like to go out without it. Not because I think I don't look feminine, but because I have sparse eyebrows and I think I just look better with some definition added to my face. I almost always wear concealer, mascara, and lip gloss in addition to eyebrow pencil. However, if I am going camping or something then of course I go without.

 I have pretty bad 5 o'clock shadow, and would pass better with make up.  I don't like how make up feels on my face, nor do I really like the visual result enough to wear it.  Worst of all is maybe reading the ingredients of the products.  I am completely out as trans and I'd rather people just understand what I'm going through rather than try my hardest to skip to the end of transition.  I'm getting electrolysis to permanently resolve the issue.

Having not worn any makeup in more than a decade, except for special occasions, I can live without it. I especially hate concealers that make my wrinkles too obvious. When 50, who wants to look 70?

I love wearing eye makeup and lipstick, but I absolutely hate wearing foundation.

I'm not sure how any of you are able to do it. One sneeze and it's all messed up and obvious that I'm wearing it, with the different toned area with stubble below my nose. Maybe it would help if any of the shades I've bought were even close to my skin tone. I seem to have a lot more red than any of the shades they sell, and believe me, I've bought them all.

So eye makeup and lipstick and stubble it is. While I do get a few stares, I'm pretty comfortable with this look, and really am more comfortable with the eye makeup than without.
