Hi! Im a transgirl who’s very much at the start of her physical transition, and I wanted to ask if people here have some tips for facial makeup, specifically to cover beard and beard shadow. I would love to find maybe one product that just gets the job done as I don’t really want to start having an elaborate makeup routine. Is there such a thing?
Only way I know how involves (at least) two products, something called a peach corrector (which should be the opposite color of your beard shadow, check online for color wheels then get a corrector that’s color most closely matches the one opposite from the color of your beard shadow). The second product would be a foundation ( I had liquid one) that has a strong cover effect.
Apply the corrector in the direction of the hair growth, not against it. Blend out well, then apply the foundation. If you find foundation that super closely matches your skin tone you might be able to get away with just applying it to the places where you used the corrector but more likely you need to use it on your whole face.
Which brings us to the “at least” part of my answer. If you use foundation on your whole face, you could look a little bit too…hmm uniform? Normally I would correct that with a bit of rouge on top of my cheekbones (blend that out as well a bit) and a little bit of conturing at the edge of my face as well as on my nose.
Hope this helps :) for makeup I can really recommend checking out a ton of youtube videos until you find someone who’s style of makeup and teaching you like and just trying to copy that. You will soon find different little ways of make it your own. Good luck sister, you got this! :3
