Mostly making this bc I felt my comment below didn’t deserve its own post as such.

    I ordered a skirt. Also some more androgynous clothes that I’m brave enough to actually wear outside, but I’m still most excited about the skirt.

    After watching several hours of mtf make-up tutorials I also got some make-up basics I can try playing around with, but not that much because so much of it is absurdly expensive, and I don’t know what suits me yet.

        I feel pretty much the same way, it’s daunting and I feel pretty clueless. Maybe I’ll find out I look super silly, but I kind of have to just start trying somewhere, so it is what it is.

        I got a couple loose knit sweaters in sort of soft, light colours. So not feminine enough to be scary for me to wear, but more “flowy” and less structured than men’s clothing typically is. I usually use gender neutral shoes any way, plus I have a few skinny jeans which can already be kind of androgynous.

        Very high waisted jeans are flattering on most people and give a more femme silhouette. Most of men’s clothing ends up giving you like 50:50 torso:legs. It can also be fun to have a shirt tucked into high pants with a longer coat.

      Congratulations on getting started! Makeup is so much fun. I made the mistake of trying to start with lipstick with literally zero guidance and it made me so upset when I looked like a clown lol. Really happy you started off watching some videos lol. Now, I mostly just do a little bit of foundation and eye makeup bc I’m lazy :p

      Also while makeup is very expensive, most things other than foundation palletes are very small… (do with this as you will & feel comfortable)
