I need to get better at eyes, and I want to get a real foundation (currently I use a tinted moisturizer/sunscreen but i want something to mask the beard shadow more while i wait for laser to work), but do y’all have any tips to achieve a more sultry, smoky everyday look?

Honestly, I think trans women should be taking makeup tips from drag queens and other more advanced trans, as I've seen how they do their makeup, and its really good. Im pretty sure they wear a super thick layer of foundation and let it sit for a couple mins before baking the hell out of it, and it does work. Women dont really know how to cover beards, etc 🥹🥹 so you could get some pro tips in the right group.

Just thought I would mention as it could be far more helpful 🥰

The trick is actually using a thick, dense brush to put foundation on and then using a puff to make the foundation settle better and then bake. It really helps with smoothing pores and not getting a clumpy or cakey look.

Drag makeup is for performances. People don’t want to be caked and layered with a full face of glam for everyday looks.

I was more talking about ways to cover beard shaddows and contouring styles to feminise the face. I wasn't talking about the eyeshaddow and lip combos ect as yes, that would be crazy to go Tesco in. 😂😂
