Hi all! I am sooooo excited that I have my second session today and I need to tell someone!

Since the first session was just the getting to know each other, rough plans, aims and so on, I am excited to see what this session brings.

I am hopeful that we can work out a proper plan for the future and that I am not just in a phase. I am low key hoping that HRT is going to be discussed soon because I ordered yesterday in a slight dysphoria filed shopping spree a coat and if it fits I’d transition just to wear it!

The coat for the interested

Also also, where can I pick up basic makeup skills? Like I need a 101 and ELI5 because I only know (and love) eyeliner + eye shadow. I know nothing else.

As far as makeup goes, a little foundation goes a long way, find a tonr that works for you (plenty of guides out there for picking the color) i use a full-coverage, it makes blemishes and facial hair shadows blend in. A concealer can also help if you have particularly high contrasting "blemishes". Searching you favorite video hosting platforms will yield many make-up guides and tutorials. Find a streamer/creator who has similar hair color/complexion as you and wing it. Worst case scenario you grab the makeup remover wipes and try again.

Thanks, I have a look then at foundations and concealers.

What is the difference between the two? Do I only use one or both together?

A foundation is for a base coat all over, then put concealer over blemishes, shadows, under the eyes, etc. I also use blush to put back color in the cheeks, chin, and around the nose, then dust it all over with a transparent powder :3

Thanks, that is a great basis for me to start looking into it! Much appreciated.
