some examples of little changes i’ve been taught by the women in my life: - invisible makeup is much more important than bold makeup. doing my eyebrows, using some concealer over blemishes, and Maybe mascara depending on what i’m doing that day. in the past i would do my face up every. single. day. i’m talking primer, foundation, concealer, eyeliner (top and bottom), mascara, eyebrows, blush, highlights, bronzer, setting powder, etc. i was genuinely miserable 😭

- skincare is super important! getting a good skincare routine for your face gives you a much better base layer to work with. make sure you use a cleanser at LEAST every other day if not every day. get a moisturizer that you like and a hydrating serum. SPF moisturizer is great but if you live in a northern area during the winter the SPF will probably be overkill. make sure to use what’s Comfortable over anything. comfort is the goal here

- pleaaaasee start to accessorize. i literally have some gold / silver bracelets off of amazon that were dirt cheap. i have a couple anklets, a necklace i don’t take off (it’s a gift), a ring or two, and small gold earrings. these things add up so so so much i swear

- hair care is a game changer, but it’s also tough. figuring out what works for your hair can be a lengthy and Expensive process. my suggestion is to stick to cheaper things that you can get at smth like a CVS or Walgreens and maybe splurge on some luxury brands as an occasional treat 🙏

- fashion is fucking HARD but never impossible. look up outfit inspiration, ask other women in your life or even just emulate them! i genuinely get most of my outfit ideas from my sister. it’s scary at first, but once you find your first fit it’s an unreal feeling. i know the urge to dive headfirst into hyperfeminine clothing is Strong, i’ve been there before, but if you’re like me, everyday street clothing will always be queen. some jeans that fit, a couple form fitting and loose shirts-

- at the end of the day, it’s about doing what’s comfortable for you. this is all coming from my perspective as a straight college age transgender lady who’s been on hormones for six years, so i know it’s not what everyone is looking for. all i want is for those of you who want to feel better in your own skin to know that you don’t have to break your back day in day out. oftentimes, these little things help you pass way more than big and bold statements. if yall have questions, please ask 💖🙌
