Makeup was one of the first steps I took in embracing my female gender identity. It is one traditional aspect of modern femininity for trans women such as myself.
It is relatively cheap, very accessible, and easily removable. A little foundation, mascara, and lipstick can have a huge impact. Makeup does so much with so little. It helps me to see the real ‘me’ in the mirror.
It has a tremendous impact on my attitude, self-esteem, and desire to look and feel as feminine as possible.
I love not only how makeup makes me feel but also how I look and present myself when blending into society. Makeup has become a lifetime ally and friend.
