    You definitely read a female to me and that is pretty cool! You both do look a lot alike.

    You pass better in the first one imo, and I don't think it has anything to do with makeup. I think it's more the outfit. It looks age appropriate and gives the illusion of an hourglass frame. Great potential there but you could probably benefit from looking at some mtf makeup tutorials on youtube or something. Unfortunately I know nothing about that so I have no specific advice. Hair's cute and looks real from what I can tell from these pictures. I'm not 100% sold on the glasses, but they're not bad either. Again I wish I could be more specific, but my conclusion is you're off to a great start but have some room for improvement. And you do look a lot like your cis-ter :wink:

    thanks Patrick...
    I will say that my wife, a former Mary Kay, and Beauty Control consultant, is the one that did my make-up......I think my glasses obscuring my eyes is what not quite right (still my old "male" frames, and do tend to hide my eyes witch looked spectacular....heehee..

    but alas, I do admit that I have a ways to go... as my appt. to get on HRT isn't till next month.... and I'm SOOO looking forward to that appt.......
    Michelle

    ++ and yes, I also loved the pun... "cis-ter" ROFL that was great....

    Not saying your makeup looks bad, i could just barely tell you were wearing anything, which I guess wouldn't normally be considered a bad thing. But maybe you could try some contouring and such.

    Excited for you to start HRT!

    TransParkie: Works, but probably avoid showing your forearms, they are too defined.

    thanky's to everyone... points well taken. I agree about my forearms.. but's a girl to do?? it's a family trait..... my cis-ter has the same issue with her forearms and hands.. you she's got manhands.... <giggle> and as to the make-up Patrick? I'm hoping that HRT will help fill soften my facial lines.......... as to HRT?? I am SOO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On thing about Passing is that when we reach a point where we've done all that can reasonably be done, where ever that falls for each of us, we have to make peace with with our situation. In many cases that comes up short compared to our desires and expectations. So, even though things did not turn out as well you hoped, is that enough reason not to be the person that you were meant to be?

    I hope not...

    Right well this is a little scary but here you go... not actual photos, but pictures of me edited with the YouCam Makeup app but similar to the look I would be aiming for...

    Tried to simulate make-up, hair and face feminization.

    Cheers all. You're all so handsome/pretty!

    Dude, tbh , with or without the make-up, I would of never thought you were AFAB. You totally pass. The only thing I could think of is maybe practice semi-squinting. Women tend to have larger looking eyes compared to men - so trying to make your eyes appear smaller may help make your face more masculine.

    Bro, always put that gel in! From your body shape you definetely look like a boy and you're looking good. What you can do is use mascara to make your eyebrows thicker in everyday life. It might take a little until it looks realistic, but that helps a lot. As I can see your hairline is very good.

    What you could consider is facial exercises, they could also make you look older.

    Hey :slight_smile: I have no idea what I look like to strangers, so I'd be grateful if you told me what you read me as. Also, I need to get a haircut and if you have an idea what would look good on me, advice is very welcome.
