A tranny beginners guide to make-up in 10 steps

As important as clothes, demeanour, behaviour, hair pieces and shaving or waxing are for me the great moment of transformation is reached when you paint your face with make up. When i have got my face on i feel completed as a girl and ready to face the world, literally, as a proud, confident woman.


But i know from personal experience that for many TV girls starting out make up is a little daunting to say the least. It feels like one of those things you should know what to do but in reality it is a lot more complicated than it seems and very easy to get wrong. And when it goes wrong it looks dreadful and worst of all can really make you look like a clown and a man - yuk!

In fact, just to show that even with a little experience a gurl can get it wrong, only the other day i realised i was using the wrong colour foundation and it was far too dark and orangey for my skin tone. The discovery was a result of me waxing my chest and being able to wear lower cut dresses.

Admittedly, make-up is something i will never stop learning and there are many tricks of the trade i am still finding out so anybody who has discovered any clever things to do please leave a comment below.

But here is a 10-step beginners guide to make-up along with sonme of the top tips i have picked up from the my mentor and Mistress Scarlett Thorne and tranny friends such as @MaidFelicity and @MsEmilyAnarchy:

1. Make sure you have shaved your face properly.
This may sound incredibly obvious but you would be surprised how many gurls simply forget, especially later in the day when the afternoon shadow has appeared. Always worth running a razer over your face before you start.

Top tip: Foundation usually hides stubborn stubble but if it is really dark then put concealer on the spots after you have applied foundation.

2. Clean and moisturise your face
As part of the preparation it is worth washing your face, getting rid of dirt and sweat and also applying moisturiser because make-up can dry out your face.

Top tip: Try E45 moisturiser because it has no scent.

3. Cover your face in foundation
Foundation is exactly what it says, it is the platform on which your transformation is built and the rest of the make-up is put on. When you apply it make sure it is spread evenly across your face, chin and upper neck and blended in carefully leaving no uncovered spots. Do this in clear light and in front of a mirror.
To apply is squeeze it on to the back of your hand then put blobs on your chin, two cheeks, forehead and nose and then spread it.

Top tip: Be careful when you choose foundation. Make sure it is slightly paler than the colour and tone of your skin.

Another top tip: Use a magnifying mirror to double check the results. Keep one handy in your make-up bag.

4. Powder your face
You need to do this to thoroughly across all the foundation, preferably with a pale powder and just enough to hold the foundation in place. It is worth repowdering your face afterwards when you go out at night.

Top tip: You can use a special pad but it is best to do this stage with a powder brush.

5. Apply blusher
This is the point where you start putting colour on your face. Blushers come in all sorts of colours but i prefer tanned or pinky looks. Use a pad to apply blusher and put it in small amount starting on your cheeks and applying it in circular motions.

Top tip: Beware not to put on too much, especially during the day. It can make you look like a clown. If you are going out for the night or whoring then put on  a lot more but make sure it blends in properly.

6. Apply eye shadow
Choose a colour which matches what you are wearing. Close your eyes one at a time and make sure your eye lid is not wrinkled. Then apply it carefully and evenly.

Top tip: Like blusher do not over do it during the day to avoid the clown look. A lot of make up works when you are going out or on the pull.

7. Next the eye liner
Make sure the eye liner pencil is sharp. Start on the inside corner of your eye and follow the line of the edge of your lower eye lid which you should be holding down for a clear view.

Top tip: You can get many colours but generally use black liner.

Another top tip: After you have finished with eye liner and eye shadow then it is better to smudge them carefully at the outside corners of your eyes.

8. Put on mascara
It took me time to start using mascara but i wish i had used it earlier. This is the special make-up to make your eye lashes stand out and look more feminine. Again with a steady hand lightly brush your eye lashes. Beware of blobs dropping on to your face or lower eyelid.

Top tip: Don't bother with mascara primer. It is a waste of money and actually weighs down your lids.

9. And finally the lipstick
The main issue with lipstick is to avoid using too much and letting it smudge across your face. Find a colour and tone which fits what you are wearing and the rest of your make-up. Carefully put it on your lips and rub them lightly together. Follow the line of your lips and you can go slightly over but make sure you keep the shape of your mouth. Allow it to dry before drinking.

Top tip: Use lipstick liner of the same colour first to draw the shape and then fill in with the lipstick.

Another top tip: Use a straw when drinking to avoid smudges.

10. Finishing off
Check your face carefully in the mirror and use cotton buds to remove blemishes or smudges.

Top tip: Good make up is generally expensive, but a good place to start with reasonably priced make-up is Collection 2000 in Boots, particularly for foundation.

Another top tip: Carry a small make-up mirror, powder, blusher and make-up in your handbag to replenish your make-up when you go out.

The tranny guide to drinking

One of the most important lessons Mistress Scarlett Thorne has drummed into me - usually with the flat of Her hand, sometimes a cane or generally whatever implement is lying around - is that the process of feminisation is as much about how you act and behave as what you wear. And this is particularly true when it comes to the old adage "you are what you eat" or for the purposes of this blog "you are what you drink".

Scarlett Thorne has very strong opinions about what Her tranny gurls should drink not only when they are out with Her and on show as such, but also in their private lives. While those of us who live double lives, for example, cannot go around in girly clothes and make-up all the time we can change other aspects of our behaviour patterns to help maintain our feminine identity. Focussing on what you drink and how you drink is an easy way to remain feminine in your vanilla world. 

Of course, a bit like chastity, there is also an important element of Mistress extending Her control into every aspect of my life which is an important part of a sub identity quite aside from the feminisation process. But Scarlett Thorne's approach is usually also an educational one so She tends to give these instructions to help improve Her slaves, and in the case of trannies make them more feminine and crucially think more like a girl.

Changing your behaviour patterns also changes the way you think and after a period of learning it becomes automatic which means your behaviour patterns are fixed.

Before i get on to what a gurl should or shouldn't drink it's also perhaps worth dealing with some of that nasty masculine behaviour that you often see women also trying to use which for an inspiring gurl is simply unacceptable!

Remember the art of drinking in a bar for a gurl is to look attractive so to begin with here are 10 DOs and DON'Ts:

DO  - Act demurely at the bar, get attention by fluttering your eyelids
DON'T - Lean forward at the bar waving cash


DO - Get a man to buy the drinks whenever possible
DON'T - Go and buy drinks for a man


DO - Use nothing bigger than a half pint size glass, preferably a wine or cocktail glass
DON'T - Use pint glasses or tankards or bottle


DO - Sip your drink sweetly or even better use a straw to avoid smudging your lipstick
DON'T - Gulp it down in one or quickly


DO - Allow small favours for the purchase of a drink ie a dance
DON'T - Take any notice of a guy who refuses to buy you a drink


DO - Hold your drink like a girl with your little finger sticking out
DON'T - Grasp your drink like your are creating a fist


DO - Sit up straight with your chest out when drinking
DON'T - Slouch with hunched shoulders


DO - Keep lipstick and cotton buds handy to sort out smudges from drinking
DON'T - Forget these items if you want to remain pretty


DO - Gossip, flirt, have girly chat while having a drink
DON'T - Make loud jokes or discuss football or any other sport


DO - Say: "OH! I like this it's pink and sparkly"
DON'T - Say: "Well this is an excellent wine because it comes from the...." (yawn! male bore)


So now we know how gurls should drink it's time to look at what beverages (including the word beverage) they should avoid. Here are my top 5 inappropriate drinks:

1. Beer - The ultimate man's drink, completely unfeminine and unacceptable except of the light variety such as Corona which comes with fruit. Particualrly AVOID real ales!


2. Whisky - Even worse than beer. Whisky is the male bore's favourite tipple. Those who drink it will numb your mind for hours on different types and peats (YAWN!). Not for a gurl!


3. Red wine - Is very masculine and usually the type of drink chosen by men who think they know something about alcohol.


4. Cider - Is like beer for men who want to get drunk even more quickly. Just generally avoid things that need to be drunk from big glasses or bottles.


5. Rum - This is ok if it is part of a cocktail but in no other circumstances. It is also a vile drink.


But just in case you think i'm ruining all your fun, these five drinks are definitely appropriate for any girl heading for good night out:

1. Vodka and mixer - This is the staple night out drink of any self respecting girl. Preferably vodka and lemonade but coke or maybe red bull will do. It is essentially a soft drink with an alcoholic kick. Light and sparkly and perfect to get you in the mood for dancing or more interesting fun. REMEMBER always have diet or zero sugar lemonade or coke to keep your figure trim.


2. White wine - People who think they know about wine sneer at white wine, which is why it is ideal. Often at tedious functions you only have a choice of red or white wine. You should know nothing about wine but white wine is easy to drink and gives a proper girly image. Rose is ok but ideally when it is sparkly. Pink champagne is a treat.


3. Cocktails - Preferably bought for you by a guy. Ideally it should be creamy or bought for its colour. Never buy it for a funny name let the guy get worked up about blowjobs and sex on the beach...if he buys you enough cocktails he might just get one of those!


4. Gin and tonic - If you really have to look sophisticated then G&T is acceptable.


5. Cum - Well a gurl should always hope to pull and you don't know how the night will end up. But, as a whore, my advice is only swallow if he pays extra.


Those who know me well will be asking: "What about Scarlettpisstini?" Of course, Scarlett Thorne's drink in watersports is the nectar of the Goddess as i'm sure slaves feel is true of their Mistress's champagne too. It's just i'm not sure a Mistress would be too impressed if you asked Her for it if you were lucky enough to be with Her in a bar although i guess if She wanted a companion to the toilet You might get lucky...

Hair today wish it was gone tomorrow

i have been asked to write a piece on the vexed issue of body hair by @sissy_rebecca and in particular reasons to give to people in her vanilla life for the sudden disappearance of it.

 

This is a major problem for many trannies out there, especially those of us leading double lives. After all you don't feel properly feminised with a carpet of male body hair covering much of your body. i got into trouble at the English Mansion Ball for having body hair after a close inspection even though it was very well concealed.

 

On the other hand though, this is not a modification that can be hidden in your vanilla (ordinary) life. Clothes can be changed, make-up washed off, but hair takes quite a while to grow back. Beyond breast implants and medical procedures this is the biggest change you can do to yourself.

 

Unfortunately this is a question i am still trying to properly answer for myself. To my slight embarrassment it took me more than a month to work up the courage to get rid of my beard after i first got put into dresses. Sounds silly but it was a major change of image, not popular among those close to me in my vanilla (ordinary) life and my family still complain about me shaving the damn thing off!

 

But body hair is a much tougher proposition, partly because shaving it is not actually the best way forward. If you're going to do it, get a full body wax or even lasered if you're very brave (more on the best ways of ridding yourself of hair in future blogs). The main probelm though is that it is a dramatic physical change and one which may not be understood or fully accepted by those in your vanilla life.

 

Some trannies are lucky because they have more easy going partners, while other partners can be utterly intolerant of it and, at the extreme end, take the view that it is unnatural for a man to want to remove his body hair.

 

For this reason many part time, double life trannies, including me at the moment, simply don't bite that particular bullet and look for ways to get round the hair problem. But that is a subject for another blog to be published very soon.

 

Here are 10 possible excuses but feel free to leave your own suggestions in the comment box.

 

1. The old classic - "I was out with the lads and look what they did?"

*Hopeless excuse, easily unraveled unless you want your drunken mates to actually shave you which could be a tad risky.

*Also shows a serious lack of imagination

 

2. "I'm doing it for charity"

*If you're going to use this excuse thwen actually do it for charity, beats sitting in a bath of custard

*The problem is doing it again when the stuff grows back

 

3. "I fancy a change of image, I'm fed up of looking like a gorilla"

*Quite a dramatic change of image.

*This works well with reasonalby tolerant partners.

*Just make sure they don't clock on to what image you want to change to.

 

4. "It's my body I can do what I like with it!"

*A bit confrontational but worth a go if all else fails.

*Still doesn't really explain why you've had expensive and painful treatment

 

5. "Body hair makes me feel dirty and disgusting"

*Good for a long game on the issue with intolerant partners.

This is one i'm currently trying.

 

6. "Did you know that removing body hair is better for your skin?"

*Be prepared to have to justify that claim, not obviously easy to prove largely because it's less convincing than a politician's promise.

 

7. "I thought you (partner) might prefer the feel of smooth skin in bed."

*Not a bad one unless your partner thinks men should be hairy

 

8. "I've taken up swimming seriously and it improves my performance"

*Has the advantage of leaving you in fitter shape for some more interesting tranny activities.

*Is though perhaps on the extreme end and only suits athletic types.

 

9. "Having a lot of hair makes me feel too hot"

*It is true that body hair warms up the body significantly, which is one reason my partner is so opposed to me losing it.

*Obviously don't try this excuse in the winter.

*You could just about get away with it in the summer.

 

10. "I'm trying to get in touch with my feminine side"

*Only works with tolerant partners.

*Is as close to an admission that youn are a tranny without saying so.

*But is a good way of preparing the ground if you want to come out as a tranny and normalise it as part of your life.
