my transition is about a year and a half old now
i still never learned how to do my makeup
One year and the most I've done is eye stuff and some lip gloss for ✨special occasions✨
I'm not down with the societal expectation that all femmes must wear a full face all the time so that's my excuse
i need to learn how so i can CHOOSE not to because i am a POWERFUL FEMINIST and now because i just don't know how
Doing a full face every morning then removing it before going out to own the patriarchy 😤
I'm more than four years in.
I still can't operate my hair curler.
When I was learning, I would do my makeup every day. I would take an hour for the basics, just eyeliner and lipstick and lip liner. I would try, cry, wipe it off, try again, cry again, wipe it off, and then got it. And eventually I got it to where I can do wings in 15 minutes with liquid liner in one go lol. I think it took about 3 months of everyday practice. Plus, makeup is fun. You can experiment! The crazy smokey eye from that Shania Twain music video, white eye liner, glitter, eye shadow, intentionally looking like you cried with mascara as an emo thing, all kinds of stuff.
It was good to have someone who taught me the ultra basics like eye liner, but also my ex was never that into femme anything. So besides literally this is how you hold your hand, I learned it online. Thankfully there's about a million videos to watch and follow along.
