My advice on contouring makeup: don't.
It's like one of those perspective illusion paintings. It only works when viewed from one direction, and looks somewhat unnatural when viewed from any other.
I prefer just making my skin look less flawed with foundation, then following my natural blush areas, adding a little blush color to make the foundation look less pasty.
p.s. Your nose looks fine! ~~Don't do a Michael Jackson!~~ Don't hate it!
Uhhh, not sure what you're talking about with contouring makeup. It is literally ubiquitous in modern makeup? And your face isn't 2 dimensional... it lightens and darkens parts of your skin to emphasize and diminish certain facial features.
For many trans women emphasizing and diminishing certain facial features is hugely confidence boosting.
Also, please don't refer to plastic surgery as "doing a Michael Jackson". Please respect people's right to decide what they want to do with their bodies. Read through the sidebar if you haven't already, this is a safe space for transfeminine people. Many of us opt for facial surgeries to undo effects of testosterone during puberty.
I guess I worded it poorly.
I meant to cleverly say "Don't hate your nose" and apparently failed.
My apologies.
