Davina lets see how many of these i can check off in my lil makeup bag

Make-up plays an important role in creating a feminine look. 

It also gives me the confidence and is essential to hide our maleness. 

Let me tell you what’s inside my make-up bag! 

1. Make-Up Brushes 

• Angled and flat eyebrow brush check

• Crease brush

• Eyeliner brush check

• Foundation and concealer brush check

• Powder Brush  check

• Cheek Brush check

• Lipstick Brush

2. Skincare and Primer

Normally, we men also have skincare routines, but they’re not as tedious as women’s. 

The secret to a healthy face, even with make-up on, is using the right skincare.

Another helpful tip is always using a primer, ensuring that your makeup stays all day. 

3. Foundation & Concealer

Since most crossdressers have oily skin, I choose a foundation with a matte texture so my face doesn’t get sticky after a few hours.

Various foundation shades are available, for extra effect, I pick one that matches my skin tone and my wigs.

Next up, my concealer! Women use a concealer to cover up their dark spots and wrinkles. 

But as crossdressers, we need to conceal our beards. 

To do this, here’s another piece of advice for you: concealer isn’t the only thing that you’ll need to completely cover that up. Here are the products that I use:

● Red or Pink Color Corrector check

The most effective way to disguise a beard shadow is to apply a color corrector. You can choose a natural appearance with minimal make-up by reducing your beard shadow’s blue color.

● Medium Coverage Liquid Foundation

Instead of a heavy formula, go for a medium coverage foundation. It’s better to apply numerous thin applications of foundation to develop coverage rather than one thick layer of heavy foundation.

● Powder Foundation

This is an excellent choice for spots that require more coverage, which in this case, is our beard.

4. Eye Make-Up

Our eyes generally appear far from each other compared to women’s, so we must figure out ways to make them look closer to each other and bigger. Here’s how I deal with this situation:

● Eyebrow Pencil check

The inner part of our eyebrows appears more pointed than women’s. So, to look more dainty, we can use an eyebrow pencil to draw on them, making them appear rounder and closer to the center of our foreheads.

● Eyeshadow check

To match your crossdressing outfits, using the right eyeshadow colours can also draw other people’s attention to our eyes, making us look more seductive.

● Eyeliner check

We want our eyes to appear wider like women’s, and eyeliner can certainly help with that! On top of that, eyeliners can also make our eyes look more pronounced while making our eyelashes look lusher.

● Eyelash Curler and Mascara check

If you want to mimic the long eyelashes that women have, we can use an eyelash curler and then apply mascara to create a thicker effect.

5. Skin Glow-up Products

Since women have smoother and brighter skin than ours, we must also use products to make our faces appear more vibrant and flawless!

● Setting Powder check

The secret to a ultimate flawless skin is using a good setting powder. It ensures that your makeup stays fresh all day without looking oily – the number one thing we absolutely hate! Also, it creates a waterproof barrier to protect your look even when you sweat after a day of crossdressing.

● Cheek Blush check

Blush makes my face wake up in an instant! When choosing the perfect shade, I also consider my skin tone so that the blush matches my overall make-up look. Sweeping some blush on the cheeks is also a little trick that can make us look more girly and cute.

● Contour Kit check

Trust me, your contour kit will help you make your face and nose appear thinner, improve your cheekbones, and hide your under-chin. It’s like magic!

If you are a square or round faced crossdresser and want to make your face look softer, an alternative is to use a bronzer and simply apply a little amount below your cheeks and around your forehead for instantly smaller face! You can also apply contour on the sides of your nose to make them look sharper, similar to women’s.

I love to use powder foundation with an angled medium-sized brush, but if the cream is more applicable to your skin, try to use your fingertips, foundation brushes, or a make-up sponge.

● Highlighter check

Personally, I only use a highlighter when it’s a crossdressing party or a special event. A highlighter enhances your skin complexion, making your face appear glowing. Several crossdressers also love highlighting cheekbones to look more feminine. I would always have a liquid highlighter in my make up pouch just because it’s easy to carry and you can use it on-the-go!

6. Sexy Lippies

As crossdressers,  we create attractive, feminine lips that can be created by makeup. To get started, here’s everything you need:

● Lip Liner check

I use lip liners for fuller lips, sexier lips. If you have small lips, you can always overline beyond the outline of your lips using the same shade as your chosen lipstick.

● Lipstick & Lip Balm check

I like to go all-natural and choose nude shades when it comes to my lippies. It gives me that fresh out of the shower look while also making sure my lips are on fleek.

Our lips aren’t as soft as women’s, so we want to keep it moisturized. So after putting on lipstick, I usually apply a stroke of lip balm to achieve that glow. In my experience, it can also help make your lipstick last longer.
