Tips and Hints
Probably the most important thing for you to remember is that makeup is meant to conceal what you don't want others to see and highlight what you do want them to see. You can take it as far as drag makeup, or keep it subtle. The choice is up to you, but these tips will help.
Cover Your Beard
To get the best look, always start with a clean-shaven and moisturized face. Red lipstick and a good concealer will help hide the five-o'clock shadow. There are two ways these can be applied:
- Use concealer mixed with a cheap red lipstick. Dab it on and smooth it out until it looks even.
- Dot red lipstick on the beard area, and then apply concealer and blend the two into your skin to even everything out.
Use Foundation
Foundation evens out your skin tone, giving you a more finished look. It also provides a base you can build upon when you contour using lighter and darker shades.
- Choose a color that matches your skin tone.
- Liquid foundation is probably the most common choice.
- Powder works better for those whose skin is oilier.
- If you have large pores, it may be necessary to use both liquid and powder foundation to minimize their appearance.
Try Contouring and Highlighting
To apply your makeup effectively, you need to know a few key differences between the male and female face.
- The male hairline is higher and is a different shape.
- The forehead is larger and tends to slope backward.
- The brow bone and jaw are more pronounced.
- The nose is wider and more prominent.
As the videos above show contouring and highlighting are very important when you're creating the illusion of a perfectly shaped feminine face.
Play Up the Eyes, Lips, and Cheeks
Now it's time to play up the feminine with color. It's best to start with simple neutral colors that will bring out your more feminine features and then expand on those with layers of color according to the look you're trying to achieve.
The best way to find the right palette of colors for your skin's undertone is to schedule a consultation with a professional who can also help you learn the art of applying makeup.
Have Fun
While transforming a man into a woman with makeup can take time and a bit of artistic talent, it can also be fun. Skillful application is critical if a man is to be the most beautiful and feminine version of himself possible. So, practice, practice, practice and experiment with colors and styles until you find those that are right, both for you and the occasion.
