Question about make-up

[Trinni]

As you can tell I am new here so before my question I will tell you a little about me. I have enjoyed the feel of womens clothes ever since I was young. I have dressed up on and off over the years but I have rarely put on make-up. I want to try explore more about cross dressing and try to complete the package.

Since I am new to this I want to get some advise on the type of make-up, fake nails, and how to remove them so afterwards it is not obvious that I had them on. I definetly want to keep my cross dressing a secret at this point. Maybe after I get proficant at completing the total package I might take it another step but for now I hope you all might be able to help me try this next step.

A lot of folks here will no doubt suggest a professional makeover but it's been my experience (I'm 24/7 and pass pretty often) there's nothing like doing it yourself. Control. Of course, this takes a lot of practice - and, alas, money - so empty out some funds, buy a bunch of different brands, and put it on and off a lot for a month or so.

Good luck!

Professional makeovers are fine and look really good but unless they actually teach you how to do it then it's money wasted, in my opinion.. You need to get a good makeup book, any book store will have them. Then head to Walmart and pickup some basic cosmetics and pactice....practice...practice.... I have some pages from my favorite makeup book scanned into a file and if you send me an email I will send then to you...

And as far as nails...I use First kiss stick-on's because they are easy to get on and off, especially good if you aren't staying enfemme for long periods of time. I keep a couple boxes already painted up and ready for the next adventure.... lol

Love Karren
