(picrel is me, yes I know my hair looks Terrible I have an awful chest cold) I have been presenting fem since I first started transitioning one year ago and I pass sometimes but not as often as I like. I think the major issue is my makeup routine (not wearing any makeup in this photo btw so it's not a good reference image) my routine consists only of mascara, and concealer to cover up the dark circles under my eyes. I know nothing else about makeup other than how to make wings using eyeliner, which I find to flashy for daily use,and lipstick which is obviously as basic as it gets. If anyone has any tips on what kind of makeup would be best for me to try I would very much appreciate it, types of makeup, methods and styles of application. Anything would help really.
On closer inspection I realize this photo is actually really awful, I look like a mushroom lol. Still leaving it here but wow it's silly looking

start with concealer, about the same shade as tour skin, and lay it on thick over any beard shadow or redness from shaving, and blend outward with a blending sponge until there are no hard edges to your application, then apply a tinted moisteriser, slightly lighter or slightly darker than your skin all over your face, again blending it smooth with a blending tool, make sure not to miss your neck and arround your eyes so there are no hard edges. next I apply eyeliner to my waterline and curl my lashes, finishing by applying mascara, I use products specificly for sensitive eyes and skin arround my eyes. next I apply a primer to my upper eyelids, a light cream in the inner eye, and a light pink on the outer eye, and then blend them together with a brush until they are smoothly blended, lighter color more towards the eye it self, darker more towards the outside to make the eyes *pop*, finaly I finish up with a tinted lip-balm. either focus on your lip maleup, or your eye makeup, not both. doing both looks gaudy and gives you that drag queen look. if the threads still up after I shower and shave I'll post pics and show how I do my routine
i get so jealous of ppl like u sometimes and it’s just because you have such a detailed routine. i have pretty good skin and no facial hair anymore so i skip the concealer and just use a tinted moisturizer, winged eyeliner, line my lower lashline with eyeshadow, mascara, blush, and a lip color i switch up depending on how i’m feeling that day. it’s all i need to do to feel pretty good about myself but i just feel kinda basic :/

basic is good! the less makeup you have to put on the better! my routine is pretty nuch the same as yours, and honestly I skip the eyeshadow a lot unless im realy trying to dress myself up nice for something. most women wear a simple everyday routine like you and its perfectly ok!

Asking because you seem knowledgeable. My makeup routine is moisturizer->primer->eye primer->concealer->foundation->eyeliner (+eyeshadow optional)->setting spray->lipstick. Did I miss anything important?
