I am a small, petite person with a high voice and usually I get treated as a women with just shaving. How ever, since I am 49 years old,most of the time I fell the need for a little concealer on my upper lip and chin and blend it in. Any further make-up tends to show my pores or have a fake texture. If I'm going somewhere, I'll use eye shadow and pink lipstick. Lipstick though,seams to accent the lines in my lips,and I have much better results with cherry chap stick or more feminine varieties of chap stick such as creamy or outra.

I tend to avoid makeup for two reasons:

1) It doesn't make the difference between whether I am read as male or female

2) Shaving daily makes makeup a painful experience. Not worth it until the hair removal is done.
