    its going pretty well all things considered. now that ive got the technique down and have a nice magnifying mirror its pretty easy, just kinda slow. the only real problem now is reaching my neck and sideburns is really hard due to the angles and how hard it is to see what im doing. well that and having the motivation to do it.

      Christ I can barely do eyeliner without stabbing myself in the eyeballs, i don’t think I’m gonna attempt that yet. Impressive though!

        I’ve done eyeliner and it’s a hassle tbh. It takes some patience and exercise.

        Personally I just leave it to foundation, lipstick, and mascara. You can do that shit in a few min and be done.

          I’m getting better at eyeliner now. I have a little group of extremely supportive cis women who’ve taken it upon themselves to teach me all the girl stuff I missed out on.

          Foundation freaks me out, all the matching and blending? Sounds difficult. But also I just haven’t tried it.

            Aww, that is sweet of them! Do they know about womensstuff ?

            For foundation I don’t really match and blend. The trick is, I just use foundation that’s my skin colour, and use it only on the bad spots, skipping the blush of the cheeks and eventual freckles/maternal spots. Spread around, maybe use a tiny bit of water on my fingers to smooth it out. Boom, now I look naturally nice with almost no effort~ 🏳️‍🌈✨
