THREAD: Some makeup tips for trans women/femmes just starting out but maybe feeling a little intimidated. YouTube is a great resource - it’s how I learned! - but some things don’t translate perfectly from the (mostly cis) beauty YouTubers to trans faces:
The amount of makeup that looks good on camera with a ton of lights pointed at your face is completely different than the amount of makeup that looks good in real life. Go light, then take a hand mirror, step outside, and see how it looks. Less is more!
BEFORE FOUNDATION: moisturize your pretty face. It might seem counterintuitive but it’ll help your makeup last longer. Simple face lotion works! You could spend lots of money on primer but I stopped using it and haven’t noticed a different 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a trans woman who started transitioning at 28, I’ve spent most of my life social distancing to some extent. Here are some tips in case they help anyone:
1) Do something that keeps you present in your body. Go for a hike alone, or meditate or do yoga at home. It’s easy to disassociate when you’re on the couch and disassociation feels really bad after a while.
2) Dress yourself up in something that makes you feel good every couple days. Put on a tie, or your favorite grey sweat pants, or a fancy dress, or draw on a dramatic smoky eye. Even if nobody is going to see you, when you look nice it should be for yourself, not for the world.

Remember the story about a Starbucks employee writing “pig” on a coffee order for police officers? The employee who did it was friends with the cops, but they complained later and got the trans woman who was her manager fired. 🤔nypost.com/2019/12/04/fir…
A lot of times transphobia isn’t overt. It’s not bigotry in your face. It’s a shifting of expectations, a hyper focus on your other perceived faults, a sudden lack of tolerance for mistakes or room for understanding. Suddenly, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt.
This blew up so I want to share what appears to be Lola's GoFundMe. Help her out if you can! gofundme.com/f/starbucks-wr…
