Well, I finally experimented with makeup last night! My wife is out of town for the week with her mother so while the cats away, the mice will play! I of course totally looked like a raccoon afterwards and just got frustrated so I quit for the night. This morning, my sister called me after seeing my horror pictures that I texted her and coached me in the right direction! I felt very proud of the results and super thankful for my sister.
Now for the workaround... we were discussing how I should be allowed to wear makeup whenever I wanted and discussed the GG views of makeup. We came to an amazing conclusion! Guys can totally wear makeup and no one will ever know! If people look really close, they will be able to see the longer fuller lashes of mascara and the little details but it wouldnt be overly noticeable.
You use clear mascara to separate the lashes and make them longer looking and fuller, use a light color-tinted feminine chapstick with just a tint of shine, use very flesh colored eye shadows to give a hint of shadowing effect, and then just a tiny bit of foundation to smooth out the appearance. Youre left with smoother features and just enough makeup to make you feel feminine even when in drab and no one is the wiser.
Im going to work on it again tonight to see how things work out and then im going to go full femme makeup afterwards. Ill post some pics hopefully if everything looks acceptable!
