while all due intents of putting together a girl of my dreams the girl waiting inside.....
well tunned into a clown..........no offence to clowns of any type
Only lipstick. The second time, my wife gave me a Mary Kay facial. What a procedure! Now I know why it takes her 3 days to get ready to go somewhere. I think I will stay with lipstick only - at least for awhile.

Was back in 75 or 76, lets see. . . .I had just come out to my wife and she lent me her wig. I then put makeup on and thought I did a right good job of it. In fact, it scared my wife and made things a little more difficult I think.

Lipstick was a doddle. I achieved the 'Joker' look without any difficulty. And I didn't know Coco The Clown was a CD until I tried it!
Good thing I wasn't going out...I'd have never made it. Mascara was the hardest and still is for me. Tried to do false eyelashes too...that wasn't any easier.
Fortunately I got a lot better with practice over time.

I was 18ish
I had a brand new compact set of Boots No7 makeup that I had bought myself.
I got home so excited i thought it would be easy.
A little powder, a little paint, some lippy, some eye shadow what could be so difficult. I had seen GG's doing it so naturally, it seemed easy.
Opps wrong, so very wrong,
I spent the whole evening in front of the mirror my face a parody of tears and make up attempts that could well have graced the pages of Bram Stocker’s Dracula (the final part when it gets really bloody). I had stabbed my eyes with a liner brush, turned my cute kissable lips into something that one might see hanging from a butchers hook, or dangling from a fishing line (too much pink my fav colour). Had so much rouge on my face they must have looked liked they belonged to a heavy weight contender, one who had come off by far the worse in a world title fight.
After all the evening and much of the next morning, having dilapidated the contents of the Boots special make up kit and a large jar of ponds cold cream. (I had not discovered proprietary make up removers).
At work that day I told a GG friend what a state I had got into and a few days later she helped me through the whole rites of passage of makeup. Today though I still use pink rather a lot I am better, much better at it. Though it did take me a few years to be in a position where I make up with confidence

Now where did I put my Vivid Pink Lippy
If I had been born a Girl I would not have wanted to be a boy
I thought it would be a good idea to dress in a white dress my sister had and put on bright red lipstick... got more on the dress than on me..
Nuff said..
"We live in a dog town and its a dalmation parade.."
"I change my spots over and over.. but they never seem to fade away..."
Maybe I was the exception. I started with only using lipstick, then added eyeliner a while later, then mascara even later, etc. I did it over such a long period of time that I never really got the shock of the first time in full makeup. I am still having problems with foundations and powder types/colours but I muddle through. Blusher is my next problem to tackle.
Still, I see these women on the train in the morning and they manage to put a full face of makeup on, in no time at all, in a rocking carriage, that is a skill level that I can only dream of.
My sister used to blot her lipstick by kissing the back her medicine cabinet door. (Maybe not the most hygienic thing in the world.) The first time I tried on lipstick I did the same only I didn't pucker as much as she did and left a huge mark. She never said anything about it - probably blamed it on my other sister, I guess. Eyeshadow looked a little garish at first too.
I don't get the chance to wear full make-up.
Lipstick most days and never had any trouble with it.
Tried mascarra and almost blinded myself...
...that was only last week.

I was about 4, I raided my mum's make up bag. I made a complete pigs ear of my face as expected at that age. It was fun scribbling on the walls though.

I think GGs have some secret society where they have to go away for 3 weeks and do all the really bad make-up attempts where no-one can see them. Then they just come out one day and it's right.
I guess I was lucky because I was in plays in high school where the girls loved loading up the boys with makeup... I watched with intent and picked up a lot of tips.
The first time I put on all my own makeup, I ended up looking something of a prostitute... Now I've really gotten a lot better at nuancing my features...

Missing my Libra babe Sherlyn, I hope she's rocking up there with the angels
Missing our Rianna, doesn't seem right, gone to early, hope she's partying with Sherlyn
I was sorta lucky, I have several sisters and the made me up a few times before I did it myself. When I did start doing it myself, one a my sisters sold Mary Kay so I asked her to show me what to do and the first thing she told me was to throw out the bright red lipstck,
. Now I can do a pretty good job. Still can't pass as a woman, but can put on the make up that doesn't look too bad.

I wear lipstick very often around the house. In fact, I am currently wear some red lipstick. My wife got me some eye shadow & rouge for Christmas. I have use it a few times. But, that stuff will take some getting use to on how to put it on. I don't have any problems with lip stick and it comes off quickly and fairly easy.

On my first make up attempt I mascara'd my nose, and then proceeded to spend a lot of uni looking like I'd been punched squarely in both eyes
Then got sent away to secret society three week make up camp, and it's all fine now
Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself
My first attempt at make-up was quite recently, during a week off I had on the run-in to Christmas. Whilst I did look more like Coco the Clown than a supermodel, I was stunned by the change in my appearance that I saw in the mirror, so I've been practicing applying make-up at every opportunity since.
If it wasn't for my dark hair giving me an almost impossible to cover-up beard, I think I might actually have the confidence to go out dressed for the first time ever, and even if that doesnt happen, I'm still enjoying making myself up, and looking more fem
Now if I could just avoid continually poking myself in the eye with the eyeliner pencil, or even worse, after applying the make-up, rubbing my eyes when tired and smearing all my good work, I might actually look like I'd been to the same secret society three week make up camp as the gg's
My very first time I was about 12 and I totally butchered the attempt. I must have looked ridiculous. I remember smashing the lipstick in the tube, almost poked my eye out with the mascara and eey make up, my cheeks looked like a mural with blush, oh the good ol days...lol.
As I got better with years of practice, I thought I was doing good. The first time I dressed for my wife, I wanted to have extra special dramatic sexy make up, and she ended up giggling at me cause my eyes were more like a racoon than a girl. She has helped tone things down for me a lot, lots of good tips.

Rhea hear, a newbe, in N. Central, PA. Mature CD, still in the closet, but will dress with others. Although, dressing for about 8 years, still have problems with eye make-up and/or false eye lashes, as I wear eye glasses, which makes almost impossable to to apply. Any sugestions? Would love to get together with another to share dressing and interests. Can contact me at shaved4u22001@yahoo.com.
Hugs, Rhea
Rhea,
I tried some make up glasses, which are just magnifying glasses that fold down one lens at a time. They help a bit but things aren't very clear, the lenses tend to droop at awkward moments and it's tricky applying mascara/liner around the glasses. Occassionally I caught the liner of mascara stick on the glasses and accidentally applied it in totally the wrong place.
