Care to show yourself without makeup?

[PrincessDayna]

My avatar picture is me make up free 🙂 Im only two and a half weeks into HRT, so not sure if the thread is about a certain lvl/stage in all this, but heh.  Not sure 100% how much estrogen will help with my facial fat distribution, or passing, as I have a pretty prominent brow bone, but not too worried hardcore, I already live female 100% of the time 😛 I just see how passable the majority of you girls are and its pretty amazing! you are all stunning and beautiful!

[PrincessDayna]

Any pic I have ever posted of myself has been without make up. I totally suck at applying it so I don't use it.

lol don't feel bad! I'm not the best with the stuff either....just learning because I got no choice to, and its fun! 🙂

[PrincessDayna]

I don't know...I just find all of the "girlie" stuff to be really boring. I was all excited about it when I started my transition but then I realized it just wasn't me.

ah right on, I was always into it before transition, but never really indulged too hard into make up.  nail polish though? but ya I didn't overtly masculine activities to try to "fit in" as a male so to speak, like work on cars, take my jeep mudding, and play video games pretty religiously.  Ironically, those things seem boring to me now, but that is because they were "blend in" attempts if you will.

I assumed I would never post a pic without makeup....but then I just realized I essentially just did that!! Posted a pic from a day at the pool on the YLFD thread....don't have any makeup on besides some remnants of liner....

Having known women that could fix their own car and also played video games, I never saw those two things as being very masculine. The former was due to people being sick and tired of having to depend on those whom were undependable and the latter was just something to do.

Well, I agree.  Like I said its something I lost myself in to "try" to appear male.  Never worked out so well lol. The whole video game thing inherently was a double edged sword, it put me into some kind of fantasy realm when I wasn't working, so I did not have to face how I felt, in an attempt to thinking it was better for me since it was what was wanted of me; if that makes sence. I know plenty of female friends that can do either, and very well.  One of my best friends who passed away was a mechanic, and why this amtters or not, a lesbian, and a best friend on many many many levels. I learned how to work on cars to a certain limited extent from her.  I would just overtly seek out what is generally on the masculine spectrum as a "cover my identity" type thing. 😕 hope that clarifies.

anyhow, if you want to talk further on it, feel free to pm me doll 🙂 that way we aren't pulling from the main topic and all 😛

Monica, it's always amazing how a little makeup and a close shave will put you right over the top as a foxy looking woman. You have beautiful eyes sans makeup though. Get a good workout girl!

Thanks Shantel.  I've seen the difference lately on how I look as a boy.  It has to confuse the heck out of people.

My eyelashes are basically invisible without mascara because of being blonde but I have cleverly obscured them with my glasses.  It's not cheating!
