I'm thinking of going to a really nice crossdressing service in London. Its a top place (not a chain) and has featured in comments on threads before. Their work is stunning.
I've not dressed for a while and feel a little nervous of doing this but would love to see myself as a gorgeous woman in the mirror of the type on their site pictures.
Should I go, need confidence / advice from my sisters ?
YES. I've done it twice (at least for professional makeup). Both times were wonderful experiences -- my face was far far better than anything I ever came close to myself. Not that I was 100 percent passable (that may never happen) but it was amazing what they did. And don't worry about being nervous. At least in my experiences, it was relaxed, comfortable and informal. Just like its something they do every day. (Oh, yes, they DO do that every day!).. . Try it, you'll like it.Originally Posted by Andrea
You'll be amazed at the difference a make-up expert or good friend can do for your looks and confidence.
Now we'll just wait for the pics

Go for it you lucky girl, my SO would never let me spend that much money and its only 30 miles to Bristol where i could get a makeover.
Hugs Gale.
Luv Ya! :be:
I say go for it. Plus you can learn how they do it. When I went for my makeover in Las Vegas, I tried to learn how she did it so I could improve my makeup technique.

If you do not go for it, why then you will always wonder what it would have been like. It does not matter how good it may be, just enjoy.

I think I gave you the recommendation no? You read something I had on another board?
E4 featured one such place on the television show Boys will be Girls about a group of ex boy group singers attempting to fool the world they are a new girl band.
Here's a pic from my NYC makeover. I know its not flawless, but better than I do myself!

How big is your wallet?
If you have plenty of disposable income .. well why not?
BUT it really isnt cheap ... so what else could you spend your money on which would be durable .. I think I would rather have another good wig .. than spend it on an experience which only lasted a few hours.
I am not saying it is wrong to spend money on a makeover session .. just make sure that it is what you want to spend it on.
Have fun!

YES. I have had two makeovers in the past 1 1/2 yrs. I wish I had done it a LOT sooner in life! It really changed my CDing life.

If there is a CD friendly salon in your area, perhaps just a hair styling and makeup session for an hour or so? That's what I like to do.

If you can't wear heels, what's the sense of dressing?......
Just go for it
You'll be mad at yourself if you don't
I just don't have fun -- I make the fun
Life's too short........Enjoy every day
Andrea, if it is something that is on your heart, then you should do it! Professionally applied makeup can make a BIG difference in your look. It could give you ideas on things that you can do yourself to improve your own techniques as well. And it's fun, pampering yourself a bit every once in awhile.

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts,
I'm seriously looking into this. The places (In London E5) looks great an d I think would fulfil the desire to 'look in the mirror and see a woman not a man'.
I agree with all those who say go for it, I have been a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it!
My avatar photo was taken on the most recent occasion.
Susan, you look lovely in your avatar pic
