What make up tips can you offer a tranny? I want to use bare minerals, powder foundation, with a ';glow'; on top?

I want a full face make over to hide imperfections and give me a smooth natural girl look.

A girl with deep thoughts you are an idiot. The others who answered were actually helpful. Some very much so and to them I offer my sincere thanks. You guys were great and the advice I got from you all was great.

it lasts a really long time, and if you use too much, you won't get the glow you're looking for, and it will look really dull. seriously, a little goes a loooong way! make sure you get the right color!!! it's even more noticeable than regular makeup when it doesn't blend. mineral makeup will give you a nice smooth finish after you've done a nice job applying it lightly and evenly (practice makes perfect). for the imperfections, get yourself a nice lil concealer stick (same color as your makeup), and apply it lightly AFTER your foundation, then gently smear it in. when you apply it before, it makes your powder darker, and it again, won't blend. then, you may want to do a final light dusting of powder on top for an really nice and even finish. apply blush last if you're going to use it. oh yea, definitely invest in a powder brush! i hope this helps!
In the situation. Bare Minerals is the way to go! If you only have scars or blotches, I mean. If there's acne involved, then take care of that first THEN Bare Minerals! And when you buy the kit, be sure to find out the PROPER way to clean off the brushes and be sure to do it weekly or else bacteria will build up. Also, if the brushes aren't properly washed (I made a mistake of doing this!) they will become unruly and shed like crazy! Oh yeah, make sure you go to somewhere like Sephora and get your skin matched for a starter kit =)

I personally don't like bare minerals. I don't think they ever look natural, unless you use a tiny amount and you'd need to use a wee bit more than us 'whiskerless' girls. I used to use Maxfactor pan stick on my friend when he did drag and he hated it! It's traditionally stage makeup and so it's very thick and feels sticky on your skin (unless you cover it with a lot of powder) but it does cover every single shadow and blemish, which is why it's a tranny fave.





A really good one to use would be True Match or Infallible by Loreal. They're both quite cheap but look really good and they're amazing at covering blemishes. If you use one of these with a decent concealer (maybe Clinique Airbrush Concealer) then you would look like a natural girl.





You sound like you like the same kind of makeup look that I like and so I'm going to give you my absolute best makeup tip in the whole world! Ok, it's a tricky one if you live outside the UK because it's a Boots own brand product. It's called Boots Soltan Mousse Self-tan. It's so light it's a joke to call it a real fake tan but it makes your skin glow like you wouldn't believe. Smooth some onto your face at night and the next morning you'll look like J-Lo! It's also the best primer I've ever used and makeup smooths onto your skin like satin. If you want to use it as an actual fake tan then apply it the night before but don't shower it off until the next night. It smells like Apricots and it's completely clear after about 10 minutes and so difficult to streak! Great for a beginner but you need to leave it on all day because otherwise you'll have a 'barely there' colour. Buy it on Ebay or Boots.com. It's about 拢4 for a can that lasts for ages.





Don't use powders if you can avoid it and if you must then only use them on your jaw-line and under eyes (sparingly!) Rimmel do a great one - Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent. It doesn't have a base colour and so it doesn't look cakey or chalky. Also, get yourself a good makeup sponge (any local drug-store) and a semi-decent brush (big one!) for the powder. A really good blusher is Maybelline's mousse blusher. It's so easy to blend and the colours are really cute.





For your lips get yourself a lip-stain (Benefit, Body Shop, etc) and a clear gloss (a good tip with gloss it that the cheap gloss is always more watery and therefore more natural looking!) Or a shiny lip-balm would do the same trick :)
