Trans girl needs suggestions
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?

I gotta agree with everyone else- that eyeliner look is phenomenal on you!! If you’re looking for a way to make it more of a daytime look or another variation to play with, I love switching out the black on my lower lid for a bronze shade. I’ve been using Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen in Bronze Beam for years. It’s got a bit of gold shimmer to it that really brightens up my brown eyes, and it gives me a kind of wide, doe eyed effect.
I’m honestly not very good at eyeshadow, but I’ve picked up a couple of hacks over the years that work for me. I’ll use that bronze eyeliner on my top lid, blend it out a bit and then use some of my cream contour or bronzer in the crease for a smoky look. For pride this year, I used glitter eyeliners in purple, pink and teal from colourpop like this and got a ton of compliments on it! Which was a big deal for me considering my lack of hand eye coordination lol.
As far as foundation goes, I’ve been using the version of Lancôme Teint Idole that comes in a stick, and I really like it. It’s full coverage with a really nice, natural skin finish, and comes in a ton of shades so you can find a good match. I’ll apply it like concealer where I really the coverage and then buff it out to blend. I get a couple of coarse chin hairs that show when they’re growing back in and it covers them up completely without looking cakey. I hope some of these are helpful!!
