I have a problem with my lips. They are undoubtfully female. They are full and shapely and very pink. That is one of the biggest things that is keeping me from passing. Is there a way to masculinize lips? Any tips would be greately appreciated. Thanks guys!

I've heard it helps to keep your mouth slightly open to keep the from pressing together.  No idea if it actually helps or not.

Try putting, what's it called, (foundation?  that pale skin stuff, I mean) on your lips to make them paler.  Doesn't help with the size, but it does with the color. 

Chicks dig guys with full, kissable lips. I doubt that it's your lips that are making you not pass, I don't look at guys and say, hm, they have nice lips.. they must be a biogirl. T will masculinize you enough over time so that you pass, but if you are really uncomfortable with them, just keep your lips tight together. It didn't take me long to learn to do that constantly. 

A lot of guys I know have full lips. yummmm.

I agree with everyone else, if I saw someone I thought was a guy, and saw he had big pink girly lips it wouldn't make me call him she instead.

My ex had big lips, and it looked like he wore pink lipstick, no one questioned him about it.

i guess u could put a little skin colored foundation on them to make them less pink

I have full bright lips. I've only ever gotten compliments on them, same with my long eyelashes. Doesn't hinder me passing one bit. I passed even pre-T.

Full lips seem to be pretty common in males. I'd say don't worry about it.

The only way most lips could be considered "undoubtfully female" is if they were lathered in lipstick.

My lips are bigger than my husbands, but his are this bright red-pink colour, it almost looks like he's "lathered in lipstick".

I would have to agree.  As a MTF transwoman very much attracted to men, I think men with full, pouty and kissable lips are über sexy...   in a manly way!

Growing up I always thought my full lips were too feminine... until I saw a picture of my biological father who had the exact same lips as me. So that made me feel better hahah.

My dads lips are bigger than most females, i wouldn't worry about it. His are really pink to, its almost if he has lip stick on haha

My lips are VERY full and so are my dads but my lips are pale.

Putting a bit of concealer on your lips really helps, this is also useful for those who have very pigmented lips. Other than that, you can grow some awesome thick eyebrows, that way you will draw attention to your eyes and distract from your mouth

However, as said before, there's nothing wrong with guys with fuller lips. I really wish mine were a bit bigger, it's just a dark line crossing my mouth. Before transitioning I never put lipstick because I just had no space for it 

I always find it amusing when people get worried about their lips being too pink or bright. Lots of men have lips with bright pigments or even so red it looks like their skin is lipstick itself.

Nothing to worry about.

I was gonna say, it never did Mick Jagger any harm, but Spacial beat me to it!

I have practically no lips at all. A genetic gift from the old man. Sometimes I wish they were a bit fuller.

my lips are so small and delicate that i always run around with my mouth opened slightly because no guy has lips like that. i found that it's a complete rumor that women have fuller lips. their lips are just darker on average but that can be helped as has been described previously.

I have the same problem, my lips are way to feminine, more my fault than any because part of my over compensation phase I had a little work done to my face...I am hoping that facial hair will help make my lips look more masculine...but I also think once my face looks more masculine the lips will look less feminine, and I am sure that goes for most of us
