Crossdressers-Haven.com

I have been a long time crossdresser but never got up the nerve to use makeup. The othe day my wife gave me my first makeover, but the problem I found was how far to go. After seeing myself I was quite pleased but for my complexion. What is the best thing to use to hide blue beard without looking like a drag queen......if you get my drift.
Keep in mind I live in Brasil so some products may not be available or called something else.............

Any advice would be greatfully recived......

Hi Marcie

what you need is a concealer under your foundation. I also suggest you shave using a shaving oil after a normal shave. I find if I do that my face stays smooth for over 12 hours which is great for a long night out. Most cosmetic shops sell concealer so you should not have a problem finding it.

Good luck

My sister Susan is correct, a good concealer ( and there are many) first and then foundation. Go light with the press power to finish it off an Wow

"...beard shadow reads as a shade of blue, which can be neutralized to brown by covering it with a redish orange color. You can do this with an inexpensive lip stick."

Get a lipstick, one you don't like may be better, if red to dark, and use a bit on the face before foundation to help.

PS Karren would be the expert on this I would think.

cover stick like they use for acne is good as its thicker than foundation. I just use cover stick and powder never foundation as well it does nothing really

OK peeps I will try all your suggestions ....thanks so much..

Marcie , I looked at your picture in the Gallery, and I thought your wife did a good job on your makeup. Aside from cross dressing issues like beard cover, I would suggest you listen to her and take her advice. She obviously knows what she is doing, and has good taste.
