One of the things I have discovered over these last 5 years and meeting a lot of other girls out to run the gauntlet is you can do a lot just with your expression.

1. Shaving: Use soap under the lather, then shave with the grain, against it, and accross it. I have a 5 blade Gellette Power. And my beard is still like an ape's despite both laser and electrolosis.

   I also use "Olay Total Effects 7" as a base under any make up I use.

   I use makeup minimally; a little cover up on my chin, above my lips, and on my nose.

   Maybe a bit o lippy. Just a couple touches and then spread it with my lips.

   I generally don't bother with mascara and all that stuff.

   Practice raising your eyebrows; keep your eyes open and no squinting!

   Smile like you just got away with something big ! :) Practice that "Cat wut ate the conary" look. So much is in attitude!

   If yer full time, get someone to do your eyebrows for gosh sakes! Even if your not, I doubt that anyone will ever notice.

   If you can, grow your hair out enough so you can throw the wig away. I always use a Hijab because I am Muslim and that helps. One aspect of that Hijab is that people are distracted by it and perhaps don't see the tranny under it?

   I got a plastic surgeon to take a strip of skin out below my nose so it raised my upper lip to bare my teeth. It was cheap and helped. I try to practice making my lower lip pout. Still workin on that one.

   Oh, and learn how to use shampoo and conditioner and grooming oil for your hair like a woman does. Men's hair can look good if your not a lazy slob. :)

   Many Blessings
