Bloody mascara and eyeliner. That stuff is so hard to remove. I went to work once with "traces" of it on my eyes. It was noticed by as co-worker. She stood closer to me than usual when talking and was looking in my eyes a little more intensely than usual. Did she notice? You bet. I'm already under suspicion. This was probably proof for them.

I have had it pointed out to me several times by others and yes all of them were Genetic Females....In all but one case I just said oh thank you and excused myself to the bath room to wash my face a little better.
In the other case like you stated I denied that it was mascara and said it had to have been oil or grease from working on the car. A flimsy excuse is still an excuse and it was never brought up again.

Is this all that's left of my life before me. Straight Jacket Memories and Seditive Highs! No Happy Ending like they always Promised...There's got to be something left for me... And I Turn my Head and Stare into the Eyes of a Stranger.
To those of you who consider yourselves to be "Cat People" I apologize in advance for I am not.
I can see many of us have been "caught"! Like to wear eye shadow (not too dark) as well as occasional eye liner and mascara. Yes, it is hard to remove completely esp if you are in a hurry. So far no one has said anything to me....
Of course, there was that 1X at work a few years back when a female co-worker said something about my lips looking red.....darn that cherry lapstick.......at least that's what I mumbled to her. Good thing it was first thing in the morning and no one else had noticed.....that may have not gone too well, otherwise....
Made sure to check the mirror more closely before leaving the house....

I got caught when I was 15 going into home room when a kid I barely knew said something from clear across the room "Hey, what you do, forget to wipe off your mom's make-up last night?" And of course all the chuckles and smirks from everyone until I bolted across the room and proceeded to pummel him until people pulled me off. Apparently I was a little more sensitive back then. I have to admit though, noone ever asked me about make-up again...and the truth was "it wasn't my mom's, it was my sister's!"
Just tell people you're in a rock band.
It happened to me once. Back when I was 20, I was visiting a girl who I dated sometimes, and she gave me a quizzical look and asked me if I'd been wearing mascara, guess I didn't get it off completely. I denied it , but I don't think it fooled her.
At the time, she was a senior in high school, and a bit after we stopped dating, we ran into each other and she made it a point to mention to me that she was doing a report at school about crossdressers and transexuals.
Hmmm............she clocked me. She was crazily smart, and is now a lawyer, so I'm about 99.999% sure that she knew.

Hi Erika,
Not long ago my 20 yo son and his girlfriend were around. She casually tells me that I was wearing eye makeup, which of course prompted my son to come over for a closer look before I could make a retreat. He gave me a bit of a smile but didn't say anything.
I just use wet wipes and cold cream, which works well when I am diligent.

I think it's happened to is all!!! I was caught about twenty years ago by a female collegue at work. I'd been wearing mascara the night before and of course couldn't completely remove it. I brushed it off, saying I could sleep the night before - which was why my eyes were so dark!!! Looks like there's alot of good advice here - I wish I had it twenty years ago!
Hugs

What great stories, girls! Now, I'm SO GLAD that I don't put makeup on my face after reading them!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Unfortunately the answer is yes. That is how my boys found out about my cd'ing. I had gotten most of the mascara off, but left some.

That's the only reason I never put on make up when I dress up. Just so much work to put on make up and remove it and really never sure if it's totally off.
i want to thank you Ive lived in sac for 10 years going to join r city gems

Who dares wears Get in, get out without being noticed
Boys wearing makeup is the new fashion, did you not know?
Whenever I have worn a skirt in male mode, there have never been any issues at all.
Yes it is a lot easier for you young ones now but still a bit more dicey when you are getting on in years.

A number of years ago before I even knew what trans was I went through a "punk/goth" phase and would wear eyeliner when I would go out with some of my friends (looking back I realize now that I was just happy for an excuse to wear makeup) and my cousins ran into me once. Ofcourse the whole punk think served as an excuse so he or any of my other cousins have never questioned it as anything more but to this day they still tease me about it. As for removing it I have found that cu-tips seem to work best for any type of makeup even when I helped with theater makeup use a little bit of eye makeup remover and a few cue-tips and it should come right off.
I've been caught a few times but where I worked at the time meant that I could use th excuse of soot from the fire
Wow, That's very impressive Ann! (The tile more than the mascara story). It must give you a lot of satisfaction to step back after you have finished a job like that! Looks like its the kind of thing that boots don't touch so it will stay looking good for a long time to come. You can come and lay tile at my house anytime!

You must first find yourself before you can discover your future-
On the mascara, I was busted by my mom when I was a teen, and by my daughter just last year. Both times I lied my ass off. lol.
On the eyebrow shaping, my sister-in-law recently asked my wife what was going on with my hair. She had noticed that my eyebrows were thinner, and that I had shaved my arms and legs. She thought I was sick or something. My wife told her that I'd just gotten tired of being hairy, which is true enough. I guess she accepted that explanation. What else was she going to do?
Sure I have been caught plenty of times.
Once by a friends GF I was at their business and none of the guys said anything but she said hey come here and she got in real close and looked into my eyes.
She said waterproof mascara? I said did I miss a spot? She said hang on and she pulled a wipe of some sort out of her purse and cleaned it off.
All this was in her office so the guys never saw it,she kinda figured me out which is fine.She has never outed me so far and I love her for that.
I find the more people know about this side of me, the less I have o worry about getting caught with anything
LOL, this thread brings up an old memory. I rarely get to dress fully head to toe, and even rarer are the times I'll wear makeup. But one day, the wife was working late, and I got home mid-afternoon (this was long before she knew of my CD'ing, or even suspected it). I enjoyed several hours of total womanization...full makeup, wig, earrings, and completely dressed, too. But as the time for her to come home neared, I reluctantly disrobed and washed off the makeup and carefully put everything away. She called and said she'd be a little late, so with an hour or two to kill, I went to the gym.
When I came back, she had just gotten home. I was all sweaty from working out I walked by her and she does a double-take...and asks me if I was wearing mascara. I acted as cool as one could in that situation, but when I looked in the mirror I could easily see I hadn't quite gotten all of it off. Since my job at the time took me all over the city, I quickly made up a story about working near a factory that day and it must be soot that was stuck in my eyelashes.
She believed me at the time, and never brought it up again until many years later when she knew about my CD'ing. Of course I admitted it then, and we even laugh about how I must have looked to the other guys in the gym that day.
