I only wear makeup to hide the residual beard shadow. Once I get the hairs fully destroyed I'll probably stop wearing makeup altogether.
So either concealer or foundation, whichever is more effective on its own.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Eyeliner is a pain to apply, but lipstick comes off during so many things. It's a toss-up.
Edit: you can also get 'permenant make-up', which is tattooing it on. Real thing.
Eyeliner for sure. It's the one thing that actually makes me look and feel like me, and once I'm finished with laser I might actually be lucky enough that it works by itself
Haus Labs Brand Black Face Paint.
I use it as eye liner and as lipstick, its already the only product I use. If they stop making it, I will stop wearing makeup because I'm allergic to most products I try.
ooh, that's a tough one. probably nail polish, if that counts. i don't generally do anything fancy with my face, but nail art is fun, and a lot more likely to be complimented by others than a bit of subtle makeup.
I love good nail outfit it's so pretty! Can you do it yourself?
yeah. i'm not great at it, and don't usually do anything fancy, but i can manage. i've never gone to get them done professionally, but i'd like to some day.
Foundation. Fucking love it, it hides all sorts and makes me feel good about myself
Curious, do you prefer liquid or powder? (I like the convenience of powder a lot, but dang if some of those fancy liquid ones go on nice)
Always liquid, my skin can get dry in bits so powder clings in all the wrong places
Oh geez. It’s a tie between eyebrow tint (fine hair problems - I have like, no eyebrows lol) and tinted lip balm. I’ll go with redder lips I guess! They make tinted lip balms that double as blush, so that’s a twofer.
Do you want some of my eyebrows? I've plenty to go round
Done! Idk what I could give, maybe some freckles if you want em bc I hear they’re a e s t h e t i c now😂 That’s lucky though. You must have thicker lashes too!
Yes that's the payoff I do have lovely lashes
Do creams for hydration and against the sun count? Those. If not, probably lip stick.
If you just had to pick one colour, what would it be?
Hmmm nail polish.
Hmmm... Probably eye liner! I feel like my face looks so different without it 😂
Similarly, mascara, no question. I’m fair so heavy liner looks stark on me, but mascara is just enough to add some sparkle.
They make colors other than black, you know
I usually wear a medium lavender color. But if we’re only allowed one product, I’m giving it up in favor of mascara.
Understandable choice.
