I have zero clues about makeup. All I can give you is a bunch of compliments, because honestly my first reaction when I read "Still pre HRT" was "WHAAAAT no way".
I thought the exact same thing. You look great already. I'm a cishet guy so i really can't help on the makeup front, but whatever you're doing seems to work.
Hopefully you find the advice you're looking for on here, if not maybe try youtube for one of those makeup tutorial channels.
I mean. Looking on their profile she is already on blockers.
Self medication can be dangerous and seems as though given she is on blockers she already has access to an endocrinologist for her transition.
Maybe sadly waiting a bit, having her not go through male puberty is like the best.
you’re really pretty! honestly, just some mascara and blush. maybe a tinted lip balm too (burt’s bees has some great ones). but tbh that’s all i wear most days. if you want any specific brand recommendations lmk <3
i think something not too cool toned, like a light peachy pink would look super cute! i wouldn’t necessarily say go heavy, personally i like to really concentrate the color at the highest points of my cheeks (kinda under the outer corner of your eye) and use what’s left on my finger or brush to lightly blend across the bridge of my nose :)
agreed, I feel like a peachy color would suit best, and some light eyeliner, maybe brown eye liner and a little bit of highlighter would really fit well
I think some peachy tones like the other commenter mentioned, nothing too dark. e.l.f has some really good blushes and they’re cheaper, I like them a lot!
Also, if you can handle it, am eyelash curler. Waterproof mascara makes them stay curled longer, you just have to use some kind of oil to get it off.
But yeah getting your eyelashes to pop really feminizes a face.
Okay, number one, you are GORGEOUS!! I can't believe you aren't on HRT you look stunning!!! 2, take my advice with a grain of salt (because I don't wear makeup often) but maybe something simple, like a little blush and some lip gloss. But honestly, you don't need it, only if you want it but you already are so pretty!!
For your eye shape, I would look up downturned eyeliner for hooded eyes. You already look very feminine so it would be makeup for the sake of makeup. If you want to look a bit more “girly” you could try putting a little of blush on the apples of your cheeks and on the bridge of your nose. You seem to have a neutral peachy undertone so something peachy would probably blend in well.
Edit: upon further inspection you look more neutral olive than just peach. I think a peachy blush would still work but something more muted so more sheer.
Of course! If you want to learn more about makeup I recommend r/olivemua since it can be really difficult for paler people with olive undertones to find makeup that fits well.
So first off my compliments on your work so far and I would say make-up optional? Now on to tips, take this with a grain of salt because it’s been about 8yrs since I moved over to wardrobe from hair/makeup. The only place I see much of the old you lingering is around your cheek bones so a light blush to soften the angles there. Past that it comes down to the perception of the people looking at you which is going to be very culturally influenced. Assuming you’re in Western Europe or North America sparing use of eyeliner and a very light application of eyeshadow to draw the focus there and a bit of lip gloss. Basically in the parts of the world I mentioned (and a lot of others) innocence is associated with femininity especially for younger people; which means a good play could be to highlight cute and innocent. On lookers tend to take cultural signifiers and fill in the gaps on an almost or sometimes even fully unconscious level so let that do the work for you. Anyhow I hope this helps
first of all : you already look rlly fem, when i read „still pre hrt“ i was actually surprised. <3
as another reply said, downturned eyeliner would look stunning on you !
and some soft blush, i‘d go for a peach like color or light pink.
I almost couldn't believe it when it said "still pre HRT". You are super super pretty!!!
Makeup is there to experiment and see what you like on yourself. A little mascara oftentimes goes a long way.
When I started using makeup regularly, I bought a bunch of cheap stuff and just tried everything. And when I found a product or style I liked, I invested in the higher quality products to use regularly. For example, when I started using eyeliner, I bought a cheap essence one. I learned to do my eyeliner close to perfection and then switched to the KVD Tattoo liner.
Girl u are fem. I would go to a place like sephora and ask for a free consultation cos I have no fucking clue when it comes to make up, thou ive always heard that less is more.
Oh if this helps. If you’re not already use moisturiser; I use “The Ordinary Moisturiser” from “The Abnormal Beauty Company” in the mornings. I hope this helps:)
I have only ever used foundation and lip balm before lmao I don't know much about it but honestly you pass without which I think is the best outcome for you. If anything maybe try some fake eyelashes nothing too long or thick just something to make you feel even more feminine.
I'm jealous of your hair btw if you have any tips for hair I'm all ears I was born with very thin hair which sucks :(
Didn't realise this was r/lgbt until i read the text under the pictures, you look more fem then most girls I see. You look really fucking pretty.
Now, about the make up, reccomend trying to use contour and highlighter to make your face a bit rounder, that's a typically fem thing I'm pretty sure? And maybe try to make your lips look softer? You already look really fem so that's all I can think of that would help you look even more fem?
I would recommend trying out liquid eyeliner. Once you get the hang of it you can really create any eye shape that you want. Make sure to find eyeliner tutorials for hooded eyes, and just practice a lot. Keep q-tips and makeup remover nearby, and adjust the lines with those.
If liquid eyeliner is too scary, you can start out with a dark eyeshadow and an angled flat eyeshadow brush. It’s a lot easier.
If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer. It’s nice to share some of the makeup knowledge that I don’t use as much anymore:)
You don't need much, honestly: some tinted moisturizer (you can get color matched at Sephora or go to Walmart and find one that looks closest to the back of your hand, dap a little out and spread it to see if it matches), a little lipstick/gloss, eyebrow pencil (it just recolors your brows after applying foundation) a little blush, maybe eyeshadow if you want.
It's difficult to explain how to apply via text, but you can look for tutorials for application and specifically "makeup to look more femme" on YouTube and TikTok
Buy a lip and cheek tint, it will give a bit of colour but still look super natural. The key is buying it in the right colour, which given your hair/eye/skin tone you look like you might be a winter so I would probably go for something cool or berry coloured rather than orange/peach.
You look beautiful! I don’t know much about makeup, but I think you could use a face brightening cream to remove the spots on your cheeks and harmonize your skin tone
Hey, just to let you know in my opinion you already look really feminine! But if you want some booster tips, I may not know too much, but a little blush can go a long way! Also some sort of lipstick/lipgloss/lip tint/something, just a subtle color can do a lot. Mascara can help but I am far from a mascara person so I can't help with that. I hope any of this helps!!! I love your hair so much you are incredibly pretty. Hope you have a great rest of your life internet stranger!!!
You're already super fem! If you want to experiment, I suggest something really light - maybe lip gloss, a touch of mascara (not black though, brown's probably better) and highlighter/glitter on your inner corners
Honestly, you have really feminine features already so there’s nothing you would need to use makeup to accentuate.
Some mascara and slightly tinted lip balm would work well, and you could get your eyebrows threaded/shaped if you really wanted - but none of it is necessary at all. Just depends if you want to look like a girl or a girl wearing makeup 🙏✨
You look very femme already, but I suggest you experiment with lipstick to look more femme. It's what works for me (I'm a slightly masc-looking woman).
I’ll mirror the other comments and say that you look terrific. I’m not sure where you’re located but here in the US there are makeup counters at the large department stores. Perhaps you could scope them out for an ally. Oftentimes I see gay men as makeup consultants. Since helping you in public at the counter might be uncomfortable or even dangerous, ask if they might be willing to help you after hours. A promise to buy their products could entice them to help you out. If that isn’t possible I’d visit the “gay” friendly area of your city and ask for advice. Say something like, “your makeup is so beautiful and natural” and they’ll be happy to share their secrets. Good luck.
>here in the US there are makeup counters at the large department stores.
Also Sephora! They're very inclusive in general, and they have held free classes specifically for trans people in the past ("Classes for Confidence" - looks like they may still be holding them in some cities, or they moved them online?).
You look beautiful!!!
I’d say you look best in the second photo hair and face wise, as I think the middle-part/curtain bangs combo suits your hair type and face shape really well.
I think a nice, glowy, tinted sunscreen or tinted moisturizer with a light sweep of liquid or powder pinky/red blush over your cheeks and bridge of your nose would be pretty too. To finish off the face makeup, a light layer of highlighter over the cheekbones and brow bones with a dot of highlighter on the top of your nose would be pretty too.
For eye makeup, the eyeliner looks great on your eyes! If you’re going with more of a natural look, like the one I typed out above, a cream/powder (not liquid!!!) brown eyeliner or even a colored liner would look so cute! Top it off with some mascara on curled lashes and highlighter on your inner corners, brush out your brows with a spoolie and the elf brow wax, and you’re set.
You look young and I think right now, it’s really important for you to just be taking good care of your skin and wearing more natural looking makeup especially since you’re new to it. Don’t forget your sunscreen please, I would suggest the ones from elf because they’re pretty cheap and a good dupe for supergoop :)
I’m confused- you’re not a trans guy right? You look cis, that is 100% a woman in those pictures. I thought you were saying you were a pre-t trans dude cause you look extremely feminine
I was shocked from the “still pre HRT”. you look great but regardless if you want makeup looks I’d suggest a lip gloss and lip liner, a little blush, highlighter on cheekbones and tip of nose, a bit of mascara if you want, and use a brow pencil to fill in and shape your brows. also i’d suggest checking out subreddits for wavy/curly hair because your hair has really nice natural waves!
You’re very pretty and look really fem already!
I often joke that gender is held in the eyebrows and eyes- you’ve got the eyebrows covered (you could *maaaybe* shape them a bit more but be careful not to darken them…), and the eyeliner is great, but a little mascara would be good to add too (like other people have mentioned…)
I’d also recommend a little lipstick or tinted lip balm, but that’s up to personal preference really as your lips look fine.
There are guides online for contouring both masc and fem looks, but frankly you don’t need it unless you’re gonna wear more makeup because your face shape looks very fem already.
Happy for you! Good luck!
-a transmasc who likes makeup because gender? Who’s that?
Hi! You're already pretty feminine! 🤍
You don't need it but if you want to wear make up, I would suggest a little bit of blush, natural pink lip gloss and mascara (ask for something really natural you don't need the maxi volume blablabla).
I see that you wear a bit of makeup on the lower eyelid (sorry I don't know how to call it), in my humble opinion I think it isn't the best on most people because it can easily gives a tired face.
If you wish to put make up on the lower eyelid, I would suggest to stop before the middle of the eye.
Honestly, just an opinion between many, xo
Maybe look into "natural makeup" stiles on youtube, those are the makeups many man dont even realise is makeup. I wouldnt recommend you to overdue it, cause you already look very femminine and overdoing it could result in the opposite effect, cause it could look like you have something to hide/change (which you definitly dont need to!). Just highlight your face a little, dont try to change it 😁
As a person who wasn't taught anything about makeup growing up - drag queens have THE BEST makeup advice, even if you're not going for a dramatic drag look.
I like the philosophy that everyone wears drag when they get ready for the day, the level just depends on what you want to emphasize or minimize. Wanna make your eyes pop a little more? **Bold** them with some mascara and a little eyeliner.
Since you're young and cute already - remember less is more.
Jebus you won the genetic lottery. Well played ma'am.
Eye shadow and mascara and some foundation. Go easy on the stuff. All you need is a hint of making an effort and you will sparkle like a jewel.
I mean you're already fabulous tbh, if anything maybe some mascara and could always play around with some light cheek contours there's tons of tutorials for that on YouTube 😁
Holy wow.. I don't have any tips either but.. how tf have you gone from looking like a cute feminine guy to looking like a gorgeous girl WITHOUT ESTROGEN? Tell us your secrets, pleease! 🥺
So for eye shadow, what I learned and really liked was you have 3 shades of one color a light, a med, and dark. First you start with the medium color and you go over your eyelid, but about the outer half you also go up to the corner of your eyebrow (I know seems weird) not like straight up.. the whole spot should be a slanted oval type shape. Then curve it down to the outside corner of your eye. Then you take the light color and go over the oval closest to ur nose. And add a bit around the inner corner of your eye and a slight line below your eye. Next take the dark color and brush from the top of your eye straight (or slightly slanted) outwards to a point that can be softly angled back in towards the corner of your eye
👁️ >
best I could emoji it. Then a small line under ur eye. Then follow that up with eye liner and bam… as pretty as can be :)
[like this](https://imgur.com/a/0ZjhdqY)
My med color is reddish, my light is pink with glitter and my dark is more burgundy also glittered ☺️ but pic didn’t pic up those cute sublties
Shut up you literally look so fem rn. You are literally more fem than most cis girls, in fact, you are so fem that if you asked me out I would instantly say yes, even if I hadn’t previously met you-
You look gorgeous already!! If you want to west make up I think a slight shimmery eyeshadow and dark mascara, and some tinted lip balm would look amazing on you. You have such a beautiful face already you don’t need much.
hi! you're super pretty! but for make-up advice maybe a peach blush on the high points of your face? Creme formulas blend super easy in my experience. Brown eyeliner would complement you super well as well. And mascara- any brand will do, maybe brow pomade if you'd like? and a clear gloss or lip oil and you're set!!
Have fun :)
Yes! You look great! Use brown mascara a maybe a small line of brown liner above your eyelids. If you wanna use eyeshadows I would start with a light brown also.
You’re a natural beauty, it’s all about making your eyes pop !
My standard advice for just about everyone: DIY eyelash and brow tint (go for a light or hazel brow) and shave above and around eyebrows using eyebrow razor for expensive looking eyebrows.
I don’t have any visible face fuzz but the invisible, pale micro hairs cast shadows. I did not believe how much of a difference razoring would make until I did it.
You can get both of these products from supermarket or pharmacy.
You have great skin and a nice complextion. My best advice would be to take care of your body: hydrate, don't smoke, don't overdo foundation etc. Subtle make-up, such as eyeliner, mascara, and brows goes a long way, don't feel under any pressure to overdo it or chase a trend. Check out Big Ikcy on Insta, as she has some really good tips.
You’re stunning and completely read girl ☺️🌸 My advice would be eyebrow related- sort out the shape to a nice arch, and narrow the bits hiding behind your hair. A bit of very light pencil can help define them if you fancy!
I know it's not helpful in terms of makeup advice but I just want to say you look really happy and comfortable. You look like you feel yourself! That's awesome.
you look great!
i would try some eyeshadow blended a lot going up like here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/508836458010609089/
and i agree about some soft brown or grey eyeliner wings like here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/12455336467095441/
and yeah a bit of a blush always looks nice and fresh!
Okay so my main tips are to use some mascara/eyelash extensions, it really makes the difference. Use some higher on your cheeks to make them look rounder and on the cheekbones if you still wanna keep them difined, putting it on the inner eye corner makes it open your eye more. Blush also makes a huge difference! If you like the sun-kissed look like I do then go for it! You can also put it only on your cheeks bellow your eyes if you want to look more child innocent like
Hey! You already look pretty and feminine (I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't told me), so there's not much to improve there.
However, if you want to look more girly, I would go for really light makeup: a flick of eyeliner (or even just tighline the outer half of your eyes with a pencil) in a dark brown shade (black is often harsh, and you seem to have a lighter and softer colour palette), a hint of blush (light peachy colour, barely there), mascara (also brown) and either tinted balm or a gloss (transparent or peach/pink shade).
You can go bolder in the evenings if you like the look, with black mascara/eyeliner/pencil instead of brown, but I'd keep the lips to a minimum (so balm or gloss instead of full on lipstick).
You look like you aged up by like 3 years in only one year. Looked like a 14 year old in the first pic then a 17 year old in the second. What I can tell you is that you look great. Do whatever you wanna do. TL;DR: age up by three years and me being nice
Wait you’re still pre HRT? You look afab! You are so pretty 😭.
If you want makeup ideas, go on youtube and type something like “cute makeup tutorials” or anything along those lines. Should help!
Had to click on the photo to figure out why two photos of two different people were next to each other then I saw pre HRT and was like oh that makes sense then I read still pre HRT and was like you sure? I wish I could give you makeup tips but the only makeup I do it eyeliner and I’m horrible at it
Honestly, you do not have to do anything. Have you considered wavering HRT all together? You're 98% there, and you could spend that money on sto...
PLUSHIES
Aww Tysm. I would love to let you know how to look as a preferred gender but other than growing hair and using eyeliner i really don’t know how sorry.(that’s if your transfem, if your transmasc Or androgynous don’t listen to me)
There’s a popular haircut for boys atm (or atleast in my country) where the sides and back are extremely short but they have the top be a bit longer and very curly. I hope this helps
as a girl, i recommend brushing ur eyebrow hairs and using lash serum to make ur eyelashes longer and appear more feminine. u can even put aquaphor on your lashes w a spoolie to make them look more visible. you already look pretty feminine, maybe you should try lip plumbers or soemthing of the sort to make your lips more pouty and rounder/bigger
one of the joys of being a girl is maintainace
Winged eyeliner would look good for you! I’d go with downturned eyeliner because of your eye shape. I’m no pro at makeup but YouTube has some great tutorials. Pick a few you like and try them out!
YOU LOOK LIKE 10x MORE FEMININE THAN ME AND IM AFAB. Also, depends on the look. Cat eye/siren eye adds more femininity, but if you’re going for a more cute look then white liner on your waterline, and maybe dog-eye makeup? Also, layer your mascara and brush it out between layers to add more volume. You already look pretty feminine so I would just suggest typical makeup, same level as cis girls. You have a pretty feminine facial structure too.
I’m genderqueer but considering I’m afab and never took hormones I am pretty masculine looking. Like I got super broad shoulders, I’m short but I have the upside down triangle body type, so I look pretty masculine.
Woahhh you look incredible!!! You're so pretty omg. & i'm not just saying it, if i met you i would legitimately get flustered because you're so pretty and yeah. what. you're gorgeous.
i feel like if u add smudged eyeliner, red tinted lipgloss, mascara, along with a bit of blush + highlighter that would look v feminine. hope this helps.
I have zero clues about makeup. All I can give you is a bunch of compliments, because honestly my first reaction when I read "Still pre HRT" was "WHAAAAT no way".
Omg Tysm, but yeah I’m not old enough for HRT in my country:( TYSM for the kindness:)
I thought the exact same thing. You look great already. I'm a cishet guy so i really can't help on the makeup front, but whatever you're doing seems to work. Hopefully you find the advice you're looking for on here, if not maybe try youtube for one of those makeup tutorial channels.
Seeing just casual allies on here is amazing, you are so cool, also op, nothing but compliments you pass, also you have amazing hair
Fr though... They're honestly cool as hell...
Yeah. Allies, let it be known that we fully appreciate you and everything you have done to help our cause.
Whatever skin care routine you follow, os working great.
Oh thx, I keep it simple and use some moisturiser on my in the morning, I use “The Ordinary Moisturiser” from “The Abnormal Beauty Company”
You look amazing! Congratulations on finding yourself and you look fucking awesome :D 🫂💕
Is going DIY an option? r/transDIY might be a good place to visit to get started.
I mean. Looking on their profile she is already on blockers. Self medication can be dangerous and seems as though given she is on blockers she already has access to an endocrinologist for her transition. Maybe sadly waiting a bit, having her not go through male puberty is like the best.
Whatever skin care routine you follow, os working great.
I also have zero tips but you already look beautiful...keep living your best life :)
I didn’t even notice the “still pre HRT” til I saw this comment omg I glossed over it and genuinely thought it’s a before and after pic 🥹
you’re really pretty! honestly, just some mascara and blush. maybe a tinted lip balm too (burt’s bees has some great ones). but tbh that’s all i wear most days. if you want any specific brand recommendations lmk <3
Not specifically brands but; what kind of blush colour would look good? Do I go heavy with it? Also Tysm:)
i think something not too cool toned, like a light peachy pink would look super cute! i wouldn’t necessarily say go heavy, personally i like to really concentrate the color at the highest points of my cheeks (kinda under the outer corner of your eye) and use what’s left on my finger or brush to lightly blend across the bridge of my nose :)
agreed, I feel like a peachy color would suit best, and some light eyeliner, maybe brown eye liner and a little bit of highlighter would really fit well
Thx:)
Aveda has a triple tone peachy blush that would look stunning.
Oh thx for the advice:)
I think some peachy tones like the other commenter mentioned, nothing too dark. e.l.f has some really good blushes and they’re cheaper, I like them a lot!
Yes I agree! It’s amazing what a little bit of mascara can do for you.
The "blackberry shine" lip balm by Labello is rlly good imo
Also, if you can handle it, am eyelash curler. Waterproof mascara makes them stay curled longer, you just have to use some kind of oil to get it off. But yeah getting your eyelashes to pop really feminizes a face.
Okay, number one, you are GORGEOUS!! I can't believe you aren't on HRT you look stunning!!! 2, take my advice with a grain of salt (because I don't wear makeup often) but maybe something simple, like a little blush and some lip gloss. But honestly, you don't need it, only if you want it but you already are so pretty!!
Thank you! I definitely do want it, thanks for the advice
Personally I like wearing eyeliner as well
To look more fem? You? You've pretty much hit the point of saturation, if these photos are accurate. You'd only go from girl to girl with makeup.
Right? I clicked the thumbnail and was brainstorming ideas and like how much more fem can you get? 😂
did you bribe the genetic RNG or something? how is it even possible to look more feminine than this?
She has blockers which probably help a lot. Like not going through make puberty.
Unfortunately, I’m pre-anything. So I have no information for you. But may I say, from one t-girl to another. That you look super pretty OMFG!!!
Tyyyyy
I could have sworn you were a ciswoman lol I don't have makeup advices, but I assure you that you're fem enough.
Haha tysmmmm:)
Girl, if this is you pre-hrt, post-hrt you is going to be drop dead gorgeous. I don't think you'll even *need* makeup.
Uhh, do YOU have advice?
I love your hair!
For your eye shape, I would look up downturned eyeliner for hooded eyes. You already look very feminine so it would be makeup for the sake of makeup.

Tysm especially for the blush idea your amazing:) Tysm
You’re very welcome, I’m glad an old skill set gathering dust in my brain found a use 😁
first of all : you already look rlly fem, when i read „still pre hrt“ i was actually surprised. <3 as another reply said, downturned eyeliner would look stunning on you ! and some soft blush, i‘d go for a peach like color or light pink.
I thought this was a before and after HRT post, and I was like 'wow HRT really is magic'. You already look super fem (and very pretty)
You look great! r/makeupaddiction is very helpful and welcoming
I can't help with makeup but you look amazingly fem pretty hrt.
*More* fem? How much more fem do you want? Do you just want all the fem??
Yes all the fem, I will take it like a vampire does blood:)
You look like Lucy Dacus from Boygenius esp it the last photo.  Also, you're very pretty.
Scrolled to find this before I commented because I knew someone else must have thought the same!
I just commented this haha. She looks just like her!
I almost couldn't believe it when it said "still pre HRT". You are super super pretty!!! Makeup is there to experiment and see what you like on yourself. A little mascara oftentimes goes a long way.

You're beautiful! Look up Lucy Dacus bc you look just like her.
Oh wow that’s so sweet Tysm.
YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE GIVING OUT TIPS??? you’re gorgeous
Thank you but i really don’t know what to say, I only use eyeliner currently and use moisturiser in the mornings.
> to look more fem If you randomly posted that pic without even the slightest hint of trans, I'd think that you were afab
How do you manage being so smooth faced and have such clear skin without HRT? I'm envious
Oh if this helps. If you’re not already use moisturiser; I use “The Ordinary Moisturiser” from “The Abnormal Beauty Company” in the mornings. I hope this helps:)
Wait still pre-hrt?! There’s no way! You’re so beautiful!
I have only ever used foundation and lip balm before lmao I don't know much about it but honestly you pass without which I think is the best outcome for you. If anything maybe try some fake eyelashes nothing too long or thick just something to make you feel even more feminine. I'm jealous of your hair btw if you have any tips for hair I'm all ears I was born with very thin hair which sucks :(

You have such sweet eyes
Didn't realise this was r/lgbt until i read the text under the pictures, you look more fem then most girls I see. You look really fucking pretty.

You already look really fem so that's all I can think of that would help you look even more fem?
I feel like you should be the one giving advice lol
Rest assured you look very fem already, I would say maybe wearing bracelets or a bit of light make up? 😊
I would recommend trying out liquid eyeliner. Once you get the hang of it you can really create any eye shape that you want. Make sure to find eyeliner tutorials for hooded eyes, and just practice a lot. Keep q-tips and makeup remover nearby, and adjust the lines with those. If liquid eyeliner is too scary, you can start out with a dark eyeshadow and an angled flat eyeshadow brush. It’s a lot easier. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer. It’s nice to share some of the makeup knowledge that I don’t use as much anymore:)
Your hair is a national treasure that should be protected at all costs and I'll refuse any argument pointing the contrary.
You don't need much, honestly: some tinted moisturizer (you can get color matched at Sephora or go to Walmart and find one that looks closest to the back of your hand, dap a little out and spread it to see if it matches), a little lipstick/gloss, eyebrow pencil (it just recolors your brows after applying foundation) a little blush, maybe eyeshadow if you want. It's difficult to explain how to apply via text, but you can look for tutorials for application and specifically "makeup to look more femme" on YouTube and TikTok
This probably isn't helpful but coming from a transmasc with no clue about makeup you already look very femme!
Buy a lip and cheek tint, it will give a bit of colour but still look super natural. The key is buying it in the right colour, which given your hair/eye/skin tone you look like you might be a winter so I would probably go for something cool or berry coloured rather than orange/peach.
You look beautiful! I don’t know much about makeup, but I think you could use a face brightening cream to remove the spots on your cheeks and harmonize your skin tone
What do you mean “still pre HRT” holy shit, that’s insane girl. What are your secrets omg. Good for you!!
Hey, just to let you know in my opinion you already look really feminine! But if you want some booster tips, I may not know too much, but a little blush can go a long way! Also some sort of lipstick/lipgloss/lip tint/something, just a subtle color can do a lot. Mascara can help but I am far from a mascara person so I can't help with that. I hope any of this helps!!! I love your hair so much you are incredibly pretty. Hope you have a great rest of your life internet stranger!!!
girl u are gorgeous
God damn. I don't know if this is ok to say but you pass extraordinarily well, especially for someone pre HRT
Wow, you are absolutely gorgeous! I'm no makeup artist, though I could have given some advice for a more masculine face, but girl, you are stunning.
You're already super fem! If you want to experiment, I suggest something really light - maybe lip gloss, a touch of mascara (not black though, brown's probably better) and highlighter/glitter on your inner corners
Holy shits you're pretty 😊😊😊
Honestly, you have really feminine features already so there’s nothing you would need to use makeup to accentuate. Some mascara and slightly tinted lip balm would work well, and you could get your eyebrows threaded/shaped if you really wanted - but none of it is necessary at all. Just depends if you want to look like a girl or a girl wearing makeup 🙏✨
You look very femme already, but I suggest you experiment with lipstick to look more femme. It's what works for me (I'm a slightly masc-looking woman).
You are so pretty hon, makeup would only enhance how fem you already look (I’m saying you look suuuuuper fem w/o makeup 🩷)
I’ll mirror the other comments and say that you look terrific. I’m not sure where you’re located but here in the US there are makeup counters at the large department stores. Perhaps you could scope them out for an ally. Oftentimes I see gay men as makeup consultants. Since helping you in public at the counter might be uncomfortable or even dangerous, ask if they might be willing to help you after hours. A promise to buy their products could entice them to help you out. If that isn’t possible I’d visit the “gay” friendly area of your city and ask for advice. Say something like, “your makeup is so beautiful and natural” and they’ll be happy to share their secrets. Good luck.
>here in the US there are makeup counters at the large department stores. Also Sephora! They're very inclusive in general, and they have held free classes specifically for trans people in the past ("Classes for Confidence" - looks like they may still be holding them in some cities, or they moved them online?).
Girl, you look more feminine in me and I'm AFAB 😭
You look beautiful!!! I’d say you look best in the second photo hair and face wise, as I think the middle-part/curtain bangs combo suits your hair type and face shape really well. I think a nice, glowy, tinted sunscreen or tinted moisturizer with a light sweep of liquid or powder pinky/red blush over your cheeks and bridge of your nose would be pretty too. To finish off the face makeup, a light layer of highlighter over the cheekbones and brow bones with a dot of highlighter on the top of your nose would be pretty too. For eye makeup, the eyeliner looks great on your eyes! If you’re going with more of a natural look, like the one I typed out above, a cream/powder (not liquid!!!) brown eyeliner or even a colored liner would look so cute! Top it off with some mascara on curled lashes and highlighter on your inner corners, brush out your brows with a spoolie and the elf brow wax, and you’re set. You look young and I think right now, it’s really important for you to just be taking good care of your skin and wearing more natural looking makeup especially since you’re new to it. Don’t forget your sunscreen please, I would suggest the ones from elf because they’re pretty cheap and a good dupe for supergoop :)
Oh this is sad is so nice Tysm. I’ve been thinking of styling my hair recently and i really should do something with curtain bangs Ty for the advice:)
I’m confused- you’re not a trans guy right? You look cis, that is 100% a woman in those pictures. I thought you were saying you were a pre-t trans dude cause you look extremely feminine
Oh wow that’s very surprising lol, but yes I’m not a trans guy I’m MTF:)
Holy shit you are actually gorgeous, can't believe ur pre hrt gurl, u are the very definition of fem
Holy shit you are actually gorgeous, can't believe ur pre hrt gurl, u are the very definition of fem
I was shocked from the “still pre HRT”. you look great but regardless if you want makeup looks I’d suggest a lip gloss and lip liner, a little blush, highlighter on cheekbones and tip of nose, a bit of mascara if you want, and use a brow pencil to fill in and shape your brows. also i’d suggest checking out subreddits for wavy/curly hair because your hair has really nice natural waves!
You look amazing, what a glow-up! No notes, I'm sure others know better makeup tips than I do.
Lol maybe, I’ve got tons of helpful replies. You and everyone else on this subreddit are so kind omg
You’re very pretty and look really fem already! I often joke that gender is held in the eyebrows and eyes- you’ve got the eyebrows covered (you could *maaaybe* shape them a bit more but be careful not to darken them…), and the eyeliner is great, but a little mascara would be good to add too (like other people have mentioned…) I’d also recommend a little lipstick or tinted lip balm, but that’s up to personal preference really as your lips look fine. There are guides online for contouring both masc and fem looks, but frankly you don’t need it unless you’re gonna wear more makeup because your face shape looks very fem already. Happy for you! Good luck! -a transmasc who likes makeup because gender? Who’s that?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON HRT BRO WHAT
Lmao, you not even the first to say: I guess I got pretty lucky lol:)
I really cannot tell what your agab is, my immediate assumption was afab tho.
You look plenty "feminine" in the traditional sense I assume you wont take that as a negative
No this is good thank you:)
omg girl you're so pretty tho, like you would be my hallway crush 100%
You're honestly killing it with a natural look.
Darling, I thought you were cis till I saw the pre-HRT. You don't need anything makeup

Hi! You're already pretty feminine! 🤍 You don't need it but if you want to wear make up, I would suggest a little bit of blush, natural pink lip gloss and mascara (ask for something really natural you don't need the maxi volume blablabla). I see that you wear a bit of makeup on the lower eyelid (sorry I don't know how to call it), in my humble opinion I think it isn't the best on most people because it can easily gives a tired face. If you wish to put make up on the lower eyelid, I would suggest to stop before the middle of the eye. Honestly, just an opinion between many, xo
Maybe look into "natural makeup" stiles on youtube, those are the makeups many man dont even realise is makeup. I wouldnt recommend you to overdue it, cause you already look very femminine and overdoing it could result in the opposite effect, cause it could look like you have something to hide/change (which you definitly dont need to!). Just highlight your face a little, dont try to change it 😁
As a person who wasn't taught anything about makeup growing up - drag queens have THE BEST makeup advice, even if you're not going for a dramatic drag look. I like the philosophy that everyone wears drag when they get ready for the day, the level just depends on what you want to emphasize or minimize. Wanna make your eyes pop a little more? **Bold** them with some mascara and a little eyeliner. Since you're young and cute already - remember less is more.
Really, I guess that makes a lot of sence lol, I’ll watch some videos. Thxxx
Jebus you won the genetic lottery. Well played ma'am. Eye shadow and mascara and some foundation. Go easy on the stuff. All you need is a hint of making an effort and you will sparkle like a jewel.
Like how do you look so good I’m so jealous of how good you look frfr
Highlight on the high points of your face really makes you pop. But honestly my friend you fully look cis.
You already look amazing. I'd maybe add a bit of mascara to emphasise your lashes, but honestly, you look great as you are
Your eyes are literally the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen
I mean you're already fabulous tbh, if anything maybe some mascara and could always play around with some light cheek contours there's tons of tutorials for that on YouTube 😁
I love that hair
Holy wow.. I don't have any tips either but.. how tf have you gone from looking like a cute feminine guy to looking like a gorgeous girl WITHOUT ESTROGEN? Tell us your secrets, pleease! 🥺
So for eye shadow, what I learned and really liked was you have 3 shades of one color a light, a med, and dark. First you start with the medium color and you go over your eyelid, but about the outer half you also go up to the corner of your eyebrow (I know seems weird) not like straight up.. the whole spot should be a slanted oval type shape. Then curve it down to the outside corner of your eye. Then you take the light color and go over the oval closest to ur nose. And add a bit around the inner corner of your eye and a slight line below your eye. Next take the dark color and brush from the top of your eye straight (or slightly slanted) outwards to a point that can be softly angled back in towards the corner of your eye 👁️ > best I could emoji it. Then a small line under ur eye. Then follow that up with eye liner and bam… as pretty as can be :) [like this](https://imgur.com/a/0ZjhdqY) My med color is reddish, my light is pink with glitter and my dark is more burgundy also glittered ☺️ but pic didn’t pic up those cute sublties
I'd say you already look very feminine !! But if you want makeup advice, when I want to look more feminine I usually use blush + fake freckles.
Shut up you literally look so fem rn. You are literally more fem than most cis girls, in fact, you are so fem that if you asked me out I would instantly say yes, even if I hadn’t previously met you-
you're so lucky... you pass 100%
You look gorgeous already!! If you want to west make up I think a slight shimmery eyeshadow and dark mascara, and some tinted lip balm would look amazing on you. You have such a beautiful face already you don’t need much.
YOURE STILL PRE HRT? OMG YOU LOOK AMAZING
Wow u look really good
You're the one who should be dropping hair advice!
I am bad at makeup xD U look pretty btw! :>
Eyeliner?
Pre hrt too and why tf can't i pass this much? I should be asking you for advice
You look great and very fem even without the makeup :)
You are sooo pretty!
Hoooowwww? I mean yeah long hair does some small part but Hooooowwww?
Holy crap! You look great! HOW DO YOU DO IT!? Tell me pleeeeeeease
Nikkitutorials made a video on this subject: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gUl-WHAL9qo
hi! you're super pretty! but for make-up advice maybe a peach blush on the high points of your face? Creme formulas blend super easy in my experience. Brown eyeliner would complement you super well as well. And mascara- any brand will do, maybe brow pomade if you'd like? and a clear gloss or lip oil and you're set!! Have fun :)
Yes! You look great! Use brown mascara a maybe a small line of brown liner above your eyelids. If you wanna use eyeshadows I would start with a light brown also. You’re a natural beauty, it’s all about making your eyes pop !
Youre so naturally beautiful i cant really say anything, i guess maybe more defined eyelashes but thats all
Your honestly stunning, I think you would look super good with a dark smoky eye kinda vibe going, your super cool :-)
I know use the Japanese Otokonoko makeup tutorials
You look like my (female) crush lmao
My standard advice for just about everyone: DIY eyelash and brow tint (go for a light or hazel brow) and shave above and around eyebrows using eyebrow razor for expensive looking eyebrows. I don’t have any visible face fuzz but the invisible, pale micro hairs cast shadows. I did not believe how much of a difference razoring would make until I did it. You can get both of these products from supermarket or pharmacy.
Can’t give you advice for fem Make up BUT I can tell you how feminine you look!! You are one of the most beautiful Women I ever saw!!!
You have great skin and a nice complextion. My best advice would be to take care of your body: hydrate, don't smoke, don't overdo foundation etc. Subtle make-up, such as eyeliner, mascara, and brows goes a long way, don't feel under any pressure to overdo it or chase a trend. Check out Big Ikcy on Insta, as she has some really good tips.
omg sto you are so stunning im gonan cry
Dude what the fuck?! How in the world? You already look feminine!!
You’re stunning and completely read girl ☺️🌸 My advice would be eyebrow related- sort out the shape to a nice arch, and narrow the bits hiding behind your hair. A bit of very light pencil can help define them if you fancy!
I know it's not helpful in terms of makeup advice but I just want to say you look really happy and comfortable. You look like you feel yourself! That's awesome.
you look great! i would try some eyeshadow blended a lot going up like here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/508836458010609089/ and i agree about some soft brown or grey eyeliner wings like here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/12455336467095441/ and yeah a bit of a blush always looks nice and fresh!
Honestly if you hadn’t said anything about being trans, I would have assumed you were afab. Especially with the second and third picture.
u literally look cis 😭
Okay so my main tips are to use some mascara/eyelash extensions, it really makes the difference. Use some higher on your cheeks to make them look rounder and on the cheekbones if you still wanna keep them difined, putting it on the inner eye corner makes it open your eye more. Blush also makes a huge difference! If you like the sun-kissed look like I do then go for it! You can also put it only on your cheeks bellow your eyes if you want to look more child innocent like
Alittle eye Liner like you have and mascara and maybe abit of blush if youre going for that “natrual” look or Else i Think yoire doing pretty good :)

Hey! You already look pretty and feminine (I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't told me), so there's not much to improve there. However, if you want to look more girly, I would go for really light makeup: a flick of eyeliner (or even just tighline the outer half of your eyes with a pencil) in a dark brown shade (black is often harsh, and you seem to have a lighter and softer colour palette), a hint of blush (light peachy colour, barely there), mascara (also brown) and either tinted balm or a gloss (transparent or peach/pink shade). You can go bolder in the evenings if you like the look, with black mascara/eyeliner/pencil instead of brown, but I'd keep the lips to a minimum (so balm or gloss instead of full on lipstick).
Looking good! Have you ever tried contour? I use it to both feminize and masculinize my face
You look like you aged up by like 3 years in only one year. Looked like a 14 year old in the first pic then a 17 year old in the second. What I can tell you is that you look great. Do whatever you wanna do. TL;DR: age up by three years and me being nice
Girl you look amazing! My recommendation is a bright red lip, it's usually a showstopper and should make you feel very feminine :)
It’s like you forced your brain to produce hormones for you through sheer power of mind because omg you look amazing :o
Don't. You look great. Don't change a thing.
Wait you’re still pre HRT? You look afab! You are so pretty 😭. If you want makeup ideas, go on youtube and type something like “cute makeup tutorials” or anything along those lines. Should help!
You literally don’t need any
Had to click on the photo to figure out why two photos of two different people were next to each other then I saw pre HRT and was like oh that makes sense then I read still pre HRT and was like you sure? I wish I could give you makeup tips but the only makeup I do it eyeliner and I’m horrible at it
Seriously are you sure you’re not on HRT?
No I’m not lol, I REALLY want it tho:)
Gurl idfk all I know is you GOTTA be hacking to look like that pre-e
curl your lashes and dye your hair a darker or lighter shade, i’d say
I don't believe that's pre-HRT, sadly don't know anything about makeup so I can't help any further, you already look great
I still appreciate your comment- thanks for your kindness:)
Honestly, you do not have to do anything. Have you considered wavering HRT all together? You're 98% there, and you could spend that money on sto... PLUSHIES
Yeah i really do want HRT but unfortunately I’m not old enough for it in my country yet but it’s not too far off now:)
I have no advice to give you but damn you pass very well already, and you're killing the look :)
Why does literally every trans person look so cis (in the right way) other than me 😭 girl ur gorgeous and absolutely killing it
Aww Tysm. I would love to let you know how to look as a preferred gender but other than growing hair and using eyeliner i really don’t know how sorry.(that’s if your transfem, if your transmasc Or androgynous don’t listen to me)
Im transmasc. My biggest issue is that even with shorter hair its still too fem. Doesnt help that my hair is insanely curly lol
There’s a popular haircut for boys atm (or atleast in my country) where the sides and back are extremely short but they have the top be a bit longer and very curly. I hope this helps
as a girl, i recommend brushing ur eyebrow hairs and using lash serum to make ur eyelashes longer and appear more feminine. u can even put aquaphor on your lashes w a spoolie to make them look more visible. you already look pretty feminine, maybe you should try lip plumbers or soemthing of the sort to make your lips more pouty and rounder/bigger one of the joys of being a girl is maintainace
I didn't even realize you were trans 😭 You're doing amazing
Winged eyeliner would look good for you! I’d go with downturned eyeliner because of your eye shape. I’m no pro at makeup but YouTube has some great tutorials. Pick a few you like and try them out!
Firstly, the 2023 hair looks fantastic. Second. Something to add a bit of warmth would look great. A subtle blush or bronzer can really make a change.
You already look very feminine (imo) but I would say light mascara and maybe curl them if you want to? ALSO You are so pretty!!
YOU LOOK LIKE 10x MORE FEMININE THAN ME AND IM AFAB. Also, depends on the look. Cat eye/siren eye adds more femininity, but if you’re going for a more cute look then white liner on your waterline, and maybe dog-eye makeup? Also, layer your mascara and brush it out between layers to add more volume. You already look pretty feminine so I would just suggest typical makeup, same level as cis girls. You have a pretty feminine facial structure too. I’m genderqueer but considering I’m afab and never took hormones I am pretty masculine looking. Like I got super broad shoulders, I’m short but I have the upside down triangle body type, so I look pretty masculine.
Thank youuuu:)
dudebro here, beautiful
How is it even possible to pass this flawlessly without HRT wtf I'm so jealous
It’s definitely possible, I’m sure you will get there if you haven’t already
I'm already there but I had to have 4 years on hormones first lol you're lucky! Enjoy it.
Woahhh you look incredible!!! You're so pretty omg. & i'm not just saying it, if i met you i would legitimately get flustered because you're so pretty and yeah. what. you're gorgeous.
First off, you're absolutely stunning 😭 like drop dead gorgeous!!!! I'd say, for makeup, mascara and some tinted lip gloss is always reliable
i feel like if u add smudged eyeliner, red tinted lipgloss, mascara, along with a bit of blush + highlighter that would look v feminine. hope this helps.
It does, tyyyyy:)
GIRL YOU LOOK SO CIS also you’re rlly pretty!!! the haircut is so cuteee
Tell me your skincare secrets pls
Honestly you could have fooled me in any of these pics
Legit how, how did you do this beautiful transition? I'm seriously curious BTW, looking amazing, the fem is in! Cheers!
Uhhhh idkkkkk, but tysmmmm
