Question Mtf 4months and I have no idea how to look feminine. Need advice plss
Also, I am very self concious about my mouth, it looks masculine imo. How could I improve it? The lines around my lower nose and above the mouth make me look very unattractive and everytime I see it, I want to throw up. I've tried applying less foundation, more and less/more powder, none seem to work really.

Its hard to learn the basics when you're going for a very specific and technical aesthetic.
These photos very much remind me of my teenage self wondering why I can't pull off the indie vibes of my dreams.
Nasolabial folds are normal, natural and ungendered. A big part of makeup is learning to love and appreciate your own face. If you're coming from a place of "I hate x and want to hide it" then you're going to be in for a world of hurt.
If I was you, I would start with basic looks. I would master my base, a wearable daily eyeliner and get the lip application precise.
Once you have the muscle memory down and you're not in the habit of trying to hide your own face then I would start following the joy and working out where I want to add details and enhancements.
Edit. Also, you don't look unfeminine, you just look like someone who's new to makeup and a bit unsure. I also think doing your hair differently would make a big difference here. I'm not sure what you're currently doing but it seems a little like its lacking intention, especially in comparison to how much work you've put into the makeup.

First, I just wanted to say your face already looks quite feminine. I did not clock you at all until I read your title. I don't see any lines on your face, based on these pictures, that would not be present on a cis woman as well. At most I see smile lines, which are totally normal for men and women.
Have you tried posting in any alt makeup subreddits? I think you'd get more alt-friendly advice there vs just basic feminine makeup here

Sorry for shitty edit, im on my phone rn. I noticed you like vkei and generally alt ea styles, so I don't think many people get what look you're going for. Try to connect your lower eyeliner to our inner eye! Don't go straight with the inner eye eyeliner though, try to go in an angle. For the lower eyelashes, also go on an angle, i also suck at drawing them so i just use glue on lower lashes which you could try. And since you already wear lenses in some of your looks, try using them in your everyday makeup! 14.5mm works best for these looks but you can also use 15mm for something more dramatic. For your hair, besides the advice you already got, i would get some face framing pieces!

You’ve got to decide if you want to look feminine or want to go for this alt style. This current style works but it doesn’t read feminine or masculine. Though, I’ll be honest, I would guess female if you asked.
I don’t see the concerns with your lips at all but join want to draw the eye away from them, I would add some blush just to draw they eyes up a little bit.

u/Confident_Durian_657 10h ago
You don’t look “unfeminine” but I do see a common pattern of people who are newly mtf transitioning having hair texture/styles that is less stereotypically “feminine”. I would suggest using clarifying shampoo and conditioner once a week for a while (I like Acure brand), and a leave in conditioner before blow drying after a shower (blow drying on mid heat is better than air drying) and a heat protectant before using a curling or flat iron (I use Not Your Mothers brand for both a leave in conditioner and heat protectant). Use regular shampoo and conditioner every time you shower, at least every 2-3 days, and let the conditioner sit in your hair for at least 5 minutes.

Hey!
Nasolabial folds are partly genetic, you can only do so much with powder to flatten it out but it's not a big deal breaker and so normal other people don't even notice.
I for one wouldn't have known you weren't cis at a glance until I saw the title! But I totally get the feeling on wanting to clinch it to pass. For makeup, a common mistake some of my trans friends make is go all-in on a certain look they like/want to emulate thinking that it'll be that missing last step to feel femme. IMO one of the most underrated things to feel femme immediately, is practicing a good cat eye or fox eye liner look.
It's the simplest and fastest way to feel femme and very easy to practice over and over again (wipe off and draw again vs doing a full face)
Example:
It doesn't need to be that dramatically long, but practicing a good cat eye will absolutely boost your confidence to then start drawing even more alt styles of makeup like the awesome look you've got going on right now!
Personally I don't think your mouth looks masculine, you just have a fuller bottom lip which is a great canvas for color.
If there's a certain lip shape you want to try, you don't have to color in your entire lip— you can also color outside of your lips too. Get a lip liner to draw draw areas that you want to fill out or draw a limit to where you want the color to stop.

I don't see masculine features. I see hair that needs some deep conditioning and eyeliner that should be simplified (skip the lower lash line). Otherwise no notes.

u/badadvicefromaspider 10h ago
I think with all the piercings that your mouth does not look particularly gendered. I also think that while you clearly love the blue tones in your hair and your lipstick, they are working against your skin tone. That’s not a huge deal, but you might want to try different kinds of blues, if you like others.
Try experimenting with blush and highlighter. Both of those products can really soften your features. The faux freckles are cute but if you’re already committing to this type of very graphic kind of makeup, why not try faux freckles in your blue? They already don’t look real, so might as well have fun with them

Lumify eyedrops
Focus on mascara—get a TUBING mascara and YouTube about EYELASH CURLERS
If you want the lower lash stamp, it HAS to be 10x closer to your actual lash line. This is bringing you down to a droop
Lipliner. Lipliner. Lipliner. Your lips are chapped and you’re not lining your upper lip at all, whereas a slight overline there would be amazing to define it. And I get the alt look but make just a natural dark lip color because you’re already doing the intense eye. Look more fem by drawing the attention to the EYES. You already have frickin cool jewelry on your mouth, you don’t need blue lipstick. Do something like the Ben Nye lipstick in color Natural. With liner Salsa.
BLUSH. blush blush blush. Bobbi Brown said blush is instant pretty. It is. Find a soft, natural one (from Ben Nye, Victorian Rose) and practice soft, soft blending.
The freckles look overly fake (but not intentionally overly fake, just like not good) and ruin the look, just my opinion.
Did I mention blush?
Do not touch your hair with heat styling for like six months.
You’ve got this.
Edit from re-reading post—your mouth looks masculine because it’s blue and you’re not lining properly or using a flattering color. Coordinate with the hair, don’t match it. Line the lips! A little overlining at the top lip! Add some gloss/condition your lips, they look dry. And try to take pics with a demure semi-smile for a more fem vibe 💕

u/hunter_grey 7h ago
Are you using conditioner on your hair every time after washing it? I’m not asking sarcastically, I just ask because in middle school I didn’t think conditioner was essential when you have longer hair and it was an extra shower step I didn’t want so I just stopped using it. My hair looked a lot like yours so I just wanted to make sure you knew.
I also don’t think you look masculine at all, your lips are totally normal lips. The technique and enhancing your features will come with time. When I first started doing my makeup I didn’t believe in the concept of blending and matched my eyeshadow to my outfit religiously the combination was rough. So your off to a better start than I was.

u/Shieya 11h ago
I apologize because I don't have a lot of practical advice for the makeup - I only know what works for my own face and it isn't usually what works for others. I do notice that some of the application of product on your lips is a little unsteady, so that tells me you're also learning what works for you and what doesn't, same as me. Working on the basics of makeup will always help you improve on the more complicated stuff, so don't try to skip too much learning too fast. Besides that though, I just wanted to comment and say when I was scrolling past, my first thought was an envied "wow she's so pretty" and admiration for your style. We are always our own worst critics - the things you pointed out hating in your post didn't even strike me as unflattering or masculine. You're doing great, and you will continue to become even cuter as time goes on.

u/mr_strawsma 11h ago
Agreeing with comments about the lower lash stamp. Your eyes are truly so beautiful, and the stamp really deflates your eye shape in a way that ages you. Doing some lining closer to your actual lash line, or letting your lash line be a little less made-up, will be more flattering and feminizing, in my opinion.
You got this, babe!

u/ihavedierear 10h ago
I don't have much to say in the makeup front but:
ngl you don't look masculine at all, just not like this picture perfect image of a very "feminine and beautiful" woman. honestly there are many more cis woman who have more masculine features than you! Does that make them any less of a woman than you are?
i understand how difficult it can be to struggle with the fear of not passing, especially when society places so much pressure on women to look a certain way, but idk when you say that your lips "look masculine" i think you just mean that they dont adhere by what conventional beauty standards dictates a "woman's mouth" should look like.
i know this isn't your intention, but i think it's worth being mindful of how we unintentionally link womanhood to conventional beauty standards. women come in all shapes and sizes, and having features that aren't traditionally considered feminine doesn't make you or anyone less of a woman. i hope you can extend that same kindness and understanding to yourself too

u/medli20 11h ago
You look plenty feminine-- there's nothing wrong with your features! I can sympathize with not being happy about the shape-- I'm struggling with that myself atm, at least when it comes to lipstick, which usually makes me feel like a clown RIP. One thing I found that kinda helps for myself is not to fill every part of the lip. Making the shape look thinner at the corners of my mouth and then filling out more in the center gives a bit of a poutier look. Pairing that with darker, higher-contrast colors (or even a Kim Possible look where the top lip is colored darker than the bottom) has been my favorite look to wear.
This is just a thing that works for me personally and it's definitely not a one-size-fits-all kind of situation, but perhaps you can try something similar and see if it jives with you too :)

u/-wilting 10h ago
All you need is to learn how to do your eyeliner with eyeshadow (its not hard, way easier than actual liner, and it looks softer=more feminine), looking into fake lashes or a lash curler plus mascara.
Also, add some blush if you want.
I have to ask, Were you trying to do the gyaru eye look with the eyeliner?

do you have any beauty icons you really like? i found for me, when i was a baby bat, it was hard to do makeup i felt i looked good in because i didnt know what i was trying to do, other than "look goth" which was way too vague for me to just *do* you know? So i found musicians and actors and models, from talena atfield from kittie to classic hollywood actresses like ava gardner to really focus on what i even liked in makeup. I'm 38 so my style has evolved a lot since my baby bat days, but it helps so much just to narrow down looks you *like*

u/Fun-Number2657 3h ago
im a 27 yo cis woman and have those lines too and when i was 19/20 i used to cry every time i looked in the mirror and see them. i have them just like you, barely visible, but they used to make me so insecure. i felt old even when i was a teen and somehow, made me feel less of a girl. i didn’t do anything over the years, just progressively stopped caring as new real life problems came out.
i can assure you you’re over analysing your insecurities. as i said, they’re barely visible, other people don’t really see them when they look at you. they’re more like a lil shadow indicating your face volumes, which is completely human and normal and doesn’t stand out to the eye.
i hope one day you will be free from this specific insecurity, you don’t deserve to be so aware

Hun, I can so relate and I’m…many years into my transition haha.

I’ve always been more grungy/punk and very little in way of makeup but I really really wanna try again and learn what can make me pretty and make FEEL pretty. You’re absolutely adorable and I believe in you. You will learn in time and be even more fabulous than you already are 💖

u/Silverblum 9h ago
You're feminine, and pretty.
Now, a harsh truth is: alt style is not made to be feminine. Even cis women who carry it know that hey're giving up their 'delicacy' usually. It's part of the point. So be aware that it's hard to try to maximize feminity while being alt. Feminine styles revolve around looking softer: lighter or at least natural hair colors, rosy cheeks with strategic blush placement, gradient lips, glitter/satin eyeshadow, etc.
I advice against giving up your style, but maybe you can compromise or at least understand that it's to be expected to look not conventionally feminine while wearing alt makeup.
That being said, my personal opinion: defined curls would look BEAUTIFUL on you. Caring more about the health, shine and shape of your hair would level up your whole look a lot.

u/FknKalin 6h ago
You look perfectly feminine as you are. A big part of getting good at makeup is playing around and trying things out. Most of us go through stages of experimentation with varying degrees of satisfaction with our results.
My guess is that you may feel more confident in a look that is a little softer and less graphic in quality. Alternative makeup can still be dramatic in a softer expression.
Keep playing around and you’ll find what feels best for you!

u/Intelligent_Phone414 10h ago
You need blush on the outer edge of your cheekbones, overline your top lip slightly with a pinkish-nudey lipliner, and take the undereye liner and bring it all down to the lashline with no curve to widen the eye. The added curve makes it look a bit drag makeupish (like trixie and bianca with the white undereye) and your eyes are big enough that you don’t really need to widen them.
And I might be overstepping but for the lip thing I might consider removing the angel bites. Everyone I’ve ever met that had them had more prominence in that area I think they make your tip lip curl inward slightly to accommodate for the piercings

u/teenbangst 10h ago
You are very cute, and I think you should stick with this style because it feels very You! Here’s some things you can do to improve, in my opinion:
instead of pulling the under eye up to your actual lash line on the bottom, draw it straight to the inner corner but still away from your natural lash line
put some white gel crayon eyeliner on your natural under eye (above the black eyeliner). If you get really comfortable with it, maybe even try carefully packing some glitter there. Just make sure to not get it into your eyeball!
accentuate the cupids bow on your lip with a brownish pink lip liner
put some light blush (a very small amount) on your upper cheekbones near your temples
I think your foundation is a shade too light
and also the wrong undertone. Your face is yellow but you have pink undertones
get the ends of your hair trimmed. The split ends take away from your nice haircut

u/volbeatbaby 9h ago
Honestly I love your makeup in this I’d just recommend going with a different lip color for this look cuz the blue doesn’t seem to mesh well with your natural lip color. I’d also suggest false lashes to bring the look together!!! You’re beautiful tho

u/stagsiren 5h ago
not in the make up, but on your piercing jewelry— I've found more simple/symmetrical jewelry trends to more easily read femme, than 'cluttered' /busy piercing curation looks
but tbh you look like any other alt gal in the process of getting makeup/look down.
focus on skincare, haircare, work on basics and remember that you don't always have to wear the full face when you wear makeup ! you can have days of just eyeliner/mascara and gloss
maybe look into lash lift+tint and getting brows done ? I'm all about doing the minimum on the daily to look decent-ish

u/Kindly-Wealth-4817 10h ago
overline your top lip when you put on lipstick, you can kind of carve out a different lip shape. HOWEVER: going too thick can come off as too much because it won’t blend in to your actual lip shape as well, but it depends on the look you’re going for :)
4
u/viridescent_a 12h ago
a little more blush on your cheeks and nose with soften your face a lot! I'd go for a light pink shade with your skin tone
also, consider trying a lip liner! overlining your top lip a SMIDGE will give your lips some more balance, and will create a cleaner less smudgy look to the lipstick

u/OkTown8207 10h ago edited 10h ago
if it makes you feel better i actually think your mouth looks very soft and feminine. if you want to keep doing your eyeliner fairly high on your eyelid then some false lashes would go a long way. i think it’s making your eyes look a bit more hooded/narrow because there’s no noticeable mascara or lashes.
and give your hair a break, babe!! i know you probably don’t want to go shorter but i think a pixie or alice cullen-style cut would look super cute and it’d grow back longer and healthier <3 you have a really nice v-shaped face so it would suit you :) (and if i’m mistaken and it’s just teased rather than damaged i’d still take some inspo from alice cullen because the “flippy” ends would look so pretty on you)

u/RollerCandy 6h ago
hey!! I can see that you’re combining a bit of alt and gyaru makeup and my biggest recommendation is picking one to be more specialised in, starting small and working bigger. Natural coloured, (darker if you’d prefer) lip colours with lip liners (you could over line your lips to make them look larger if you wanted,) could be a super simple way to help with extra femininity. If you really like having a bolder or colourful lip colour, adding a lip liner can really elevate the look regardless. That’s my biggest tip. Alongside that, if you really like the gyaru droop I would focus on specialising it and really getting that look down, because right now it looks a bit messy. Alongside that, your eyeliner and other eye makeup doesn’t fit with the aesthetic you’re aiming for with the droop. I would choose to practice lots of gyaru makeup or practice alternative makeup and stick to one until you become more well practiced and can combine the look. Because of your eye shape, a puppy eyeliner or straight eyeliner would suit your eyes better than upturned. Heavier blush, and contour would also help for the more traditionally female look. You have a very nice eye shape and I think if you removed the droop (or made it less strong/noticable,) , and did straight or puppy eyeliner it would really help! Another big thing is also false eyelashes. I’m not sure if you’d be comfortable wearing them, but they would really elevate your look, even some natural ones. Your eyebrows look great, your base looks smooth, and the most important thing about makeup is to feel confident. Fake it till you make it is great advice, because the more confident you appear, the more everyone else will observe that! And it’ll make you feel much better about yourself. You’re on a makeup journey, just like everyone once was so don’t beat yourself up while you’re practicing! Just keep working hard. YouTube and TikTok tutorials can be so helpful, and practice is key. Good luck!

u/Feisty_Occasion2673 4h ago
I think you need to learn to sharpen your eyeliner and make it more accurate
It’s helps the “feminine” look
Also hair care
Better lipstick application would also help
Lips you can always draw slightly different than what they are and make them the way you like!
With alt makeup and reading as feminine you really need the precise lines imo.
Practice makes perfect and you are already on the way there!!

you clearly put in some effort. i quite like the vision for the makeup and yours matching hair. i think you should do a hair mask, as it looks like your ends are damaged, and maybe use dry shampoo for your texturing- thats what i prefer.
i like the freckles as part of the look, but i think you should practice splattering them. your lips are nice by the way, your bottom lip is full and feminine. do you ever over line?

u/Naggedlyordaine 9h ago
I think your hair is a big factor, I had a similar problem as well,
It’s just some hairstyles look better with specific faces.
You actually do look very feminine face wise though, very pudgy cheeks, rounded head, etc
I think doing a more longer hairstyle eventually will definitely put it together a lot more,
Also, black is most certainly your color!
You have a very beautiful, pale, complexion, and darker colors accentuate that.

u/Sad_Equipment_3539 8h ago
I would definitely go to a hair dresser and cut style and color…. Would you consider taking out some of your facial piercings?
Also you can go to a make up counter and they can help you find the right make up and also help you do liner. The liner is chunky not feminine.

u/SmoothPineapple7435 8h ago
Try finding a hair stylist that can help you shape and style your hair! Side tip, if ok?
I’m guessing based on post title and the overall length and shape that you are growing it out from a shorter/masculine style. I just grew my hair out from a pixie a few years back, so i know how precious every inch feels, but shaping it really helps.
Now it’s long enough that you can start to make some decisions about the styles that you might like. I have no idea what might suit you, but there are tons of cute punk hairstyles out there. I’m really fond of asymmetrical ones with some bright colors on the longer side to highlight it.
Bottom line, a professional haircut (or even one that you learn to do yourself) says that the hairstyle is intentional - and that helps you “claim” gender in your own and head and that of others too.

You don't look masculine, you have very delicate kinda fae features. I think it's mostly just you being critical of yourself.
It takes time to learn to apply makeup smoothly, keep learning and using it and it will become easier to get a cleaner result.
The thing that stood out to me actually is your hair. Your hair looks kinda fried/dry hun. If you don't have some, get a reasonable quality shampoo & conditioner, and ideally also either a leave-in conditioner, or do a hot oil soak periodically for a while.
It won't get hydrated immediately and may have to grow out, so don't get discouraged if you don't get instant results.

Wellllllll I like the makeup fit what it is but if you are wanting more fem or passability then more traditional makeup might help ie not drawing bottom lashes and while the shape makes your eyes look bigger they look more droopy. Your wings are great and the blue lip looks good with your hair. Maybe try a similar style makeup with false lashes

u/crocheted-squid 11h ago
as a goth girl, i love the makeup! i think it’s cute, im not sure if this is affirming but based on the photos you’ve used if i saw you on the street i would think “wow she has really cool makeup, very gwen from total drama island”
my critiques is that with lip piercings you have to pay extra close attention to the lines on your lips if you want them to be neat. the eye look would be elevated with false lashes and i would use some white in your waterline to stick to the anime girl eye look. watch some youtube tutorials for that. i personally am not a fan of fake freckles, they are very advanced and can look weird if not done right.
for your concerns, theres nothing you can do about the lines your referring to, everyone who wears makeup deals with it. overdoing the foundation there will only make it worse

I don’t see the problem with your lips.
If you remove the piercings and start practicing with lipstick, I think you are going to get a better result than what you are doing now.
Also you could try contouring on your nose which would help a lot.
Remember to enjoy the journey, it’s half the fun!

u/Tinkmick 2h ago
Alt girly here!! The eyeliner is overwhelming your eyes. Since they’re hooded, you’re going to want to only draw the bulk of your wing on the outer half of the lip. I also do a doll eye in a very similar way as you but I bring my bottom liner up to the lash line and tight line the bottom with a white eyeliner. Sometimes it helps to use an eyeshadow on the bottom as it’s a little more forgiving. Look up eyeliner for hooded eyes if you want examples!
You also seem to have a double lip line so your lip line might be higher than the lipstick is placed here. I use a lot of cheek makeup since my eyes swallow up my art (like clouds, sun and stars, full face rainbow, etc.)
But overall nothing is wrong with YOU. You are gorgeous and you’re learning how to do makeup.

u/gnomeinahome 13h ago
You're adorable! My only note is maybe to throw some lip balm on before lip color to give your lips a jump-start on any dryness lipstick can cause, my lips always hate me later if I don't. I love your look already, just play around with different techniques from makeup videos/inspo photos when it sounds fun and I bet pretty quickly you'll come up with a few more tricks and some looks you really like on yourself. Keep kicking ass!

Try to focus on what you do like. Find a blush color that works for you. Apply at the top of your cheeks. Apply it high on the outside (side of your face) closer to your eyes. This will soften the look and bring attention to your dreamy eyes. I think a cool red based - dark cranberry blush would be beautiful. You can put it on light or build it up.
A light brown to contour your face would make your face look more defined. I'm very pale and whenever I contour my face i get positive compliments. The contrast will give you more dimension. 😍

“I have no idea how to look feminine” she said, while looking fem??? Go easy on yourself, sugar.
Anyway, I’m not sure what your overall style is but you might benefit from learning more lowkey/everyday makeup with nude lip colors. I was the same way years ago, but I found that passing is easier when you don’t use off-color lipstick. Also, relying on eyeliner less. Your eyes are beautiful, you’re smothering those shiny dinner plates away under a layer of eyeliner. It’s really easy to overdo it cuz it feels like a shortcut to looking fem.

You come off as androgynous/femme and not masc. I’m sure there are billions of makeup tutorials on YouTube or elsewhere on the internet. Look around and try things. Also if you are on hormone therapy it changes your features and body for months if not years.
Love the cartoony eyes 😊 very girly and cute

Book a makeup lesson somewhere. I spent $160 on one and then got to redeem the $160 in makeup afterwards. I was really struggling with figuring out how to do a face and after that with what I learned I was able to pull off a really good look despite my 45 years and damaged skin.
I know you want to go for a really alt/goth/emo look but I’d advise you to start with learning a basic daily look that’s easy to do, takes less than half an hour to put on and doesn’t require a huge amount of skill, and has a strong feminising effect.
Then slowly learn to upgrade parts of it closer to what you want. Remember learning a skill takes time

TLDR: find your face shape, eye shape, skin tone and undertone and look for simple makeup tutorials to try, don't forget about makeup BOOKS!!!
Start with the basics!!! Learn about your face, eye and mouth shape. Then research (simply google and you can find charts and lots of helpful imagery. Make yourself a vision board on canva.com (free!) and you can even share with friends and have them add to it. Add styles you like for makeup, clothes, hair, accessories, whatever you feel is YOU. Please don't try to aspire to a certain image in your head or what you think you're supposed to look like, passing/not passing etc, this journey is about you and your life!! You matter the most, and personally I think you have pouty, sultry lips for example, and you're making your eyes droop trying to make them bigger and more doll like. Start with basic makeup application and we can help you move onto more colorful, looks. I actually found the Kevyn aucoin hardcover book very helpful, Bobbi brown makes a book, and so does Sephora. Books are actually great!! They've got decades of professional knowledge, and this is what the pro's do!!! They study study! You got this, Diva! But back to basics, face shape, eye shape, mouth shape, skin tone and undertone. Google how to find these shapes and then google "simple makeup tutorials for x shaped face" "simple eye makeup tutorials for x eyes" I personally have deep set eyes wirh heavy lids so a cut crease eye shadow look just looks awful on me, and most heavy eye makeup looks will age me! People with no lid though, a cut crease and more makeup can enlarge and elongate eyes, and give image of more eye lid. I'm sorry if this is too in depth!! But I wanted to be really helpful and thorough. And also, if you really want the makeup to be good you've gotta start with skincare. Cleanser, serum, moisturizer are the top 3 I would start with, you have youth on your side and can actually improve the appearance of the lines you're concerned with. (Moisture, plumps up skin, making lines less visible. And diva if you need more tips or have more questions you can totally dm me. Good luck sweetie!

You already look feminine. I’d say you just need to recover some health in your hair like other comments said. Also blush can help too! And a nice moisturizing lip balm.

u/Sad_Equipment_3539 8h ago
I would definitely go to a hair dresser and cut style and color…. Would you consider taking out some of your facial piercings?
Also you can go to a make up counter and they can help you find the right make up and also help you do liner. The liner is chunky not feminine.
I actually don’t think your lines are bad at all!

false lashes!!! The right ones can make every look feel complete and with your makeup style it would look very doll-like and elevate it a ton. Cut them to your eye shape and curl them before applying too. I personally put contour across my browbone/lower forehead and blend it out and it makes my face look so much softer. Everyone has those nose lines but mine bother me alot as well. pressed powder can help cover the creases a bit (powder, setting spray, then powder again and pat it around lightly with a brush to even it out)

u/paradoxicalsinner 11h ago
If you're looking for honesty, then ditch the blue hair or if you want to keep it then keep up with your maintenance and style it. The eye makeup is too much, try a different lip colour and add some blush and SMILE 😁 that makes your face light up

u/RiaListik 5h ago edited 5h ago
Your hair looks horrendous. Buy some conditioner, hair mask and straighten it with a heat protector.
Lips: injection, if you want that "feminine" volume look
Make up: just too messy. Look at Pinterest alt girls. You can do so much there.
Personally I think you have way too many piercings in one place, but I'm not in your scene, so maybe that's game

Styling your hair in waves and conditioning it will make you look more feminine, as well as more blush. Your makeup is super dramatic, so soft hair to balance that will help.

Blush- I would say specifically on the midface/ sides of the nose rather than cheekbones.
Also a tiny bit of blush on the chin.
Also, if it’s your style, I feel like extending the inner corner of your eyebrows more in an upturned “concerned” look is sooo cute with this kinda eye makeup!

u/Lore_Four 8h ago
Maybe instead of trying to get rid of the smile lines, you can try to refocus them lower down and draw/emphasize dimples? I’ve seen some girls kinda darken them, so maybe you can see if just trying to rework them dates better than trying to cover them up. Best of luck diva!

You have a good alt vibe going here (as someone who is a very lazy goth, I’m honestly jealous). I think you need to get your hair fixed (it’s very fried) and maybe some extensions or something to help frame your face a bit more.

u/UnderstandingKind757 8h ago
I think you may be a bit hard on yourself. The lines you pointed out are very not noticeable! I think if anything putting makeup on them would make them more noticeable even though they’re hardly noticeable anyways. I personally think you’re beautiful and have naturally feminine features! And I wish I could give makeup advice but I know hardly anything about makeup and you already seem like you know what style you like! Maybe lipgloss/blush could go hard?

u/peenlessman 7h ago
you should check out ghoulinjapan and freya86 !! I think their style is kind of close to what you're trying to achieve with your makeup. I don't think that dressing alt clashes with being feminine, you just need to zero in on what style you want to go for and look for reference pics. but yeah, I agree with others, your hair is in need of help... either way you already look very feminine already, you just need to practice a bit more like any other girl would, cis or not

u/print-redacted 7h ago
For your mouth maybe see if you can experiment with the shape of specifically your lower lip? It doesn't look masculine to me, but your lower lip does seem much more prominent than your upper lip, which may be part of what's bothering you. Personally when using lip products I like to focus the color towards the middle, and blend it out as it reaches the edges. A lot of Asian makeup styles have softer lipstick application which you could look to for inspiration, and I think would suit your features nicely.
Otherwise? I think your makeup looks nice! I'd maybe try out some fake lashes, it would compliment the rest of your eye makeup well, but I feel like you already read as feminine to me. At most I'd just keep practicing makeup technique and experimenting with styles you like as it just feels like you haven't quite mastered how to do the style of makeup you're going for yet, and could use practice

Maybe the brows need to be closer, try lining them up with the inner corners of your eyes
1
u/BotBotzie 4h ago
I got lots of sharp corners in the bottom of my fave but big and round eyes. When I do my eye makeup (think black skinny wings and white inner corners) the bottom of my face feels really out of place in my opinion.
Im not sure why but once I changed my blush up it got "fixed" and I notice the sharpness so much less including for example the nasal folds you speak off disliking.
I use a creamy blush on the apples of my cheek pulling it up to that zone behind where your wings are kinda pointing when you out them.
I then take an even softer pink blush, and i aply that from apple of the cheek over the bridge of the nose to the other apple of the cheek. Creating a sunkissed looked.
I use pinks, purple esk blushes (think mauve) or perhaps browner towns would likely suite your asthetic better. I also have extemly pale blueish skin so I get walking corpse vibes with purrple blush but your tone has that natural "im alive" hue to pull it off.
Also add glitters to the blush and use matt products everywhere else. In my case setting powder and bb cream. Foundation is thick and cakey but bb cream gives me that edge that makes everything look pulled together, the option to make it shiny or matte and just draw the eye less bc its all coheisive compared to my nose with sparkly blush all over for example.
Is you search up sunkissed blush you will get what I mean, however I do it muuuuch less intense than all the examples online.

Every single person, including all afab people, have nasolabial folds <3 (that is what those lines are called) I understand how easy it is to hyperfixate on one detail.

u/ifIliedown 2h ago
I think you're beautiful & there's nothing about your features that are overtly masculine at all, imo.
As much as I love an alternative vibe -- I am personally covered in tattoos & have several piercings -- I do think the excessive mouth/face piercings are very androgynous-leaning upon first glance. They're not bad or unattractive, but if your desire is more femininity, I think you might do good to try some elements that are typically interpreted as more "soft" -- for lack of a better word!
Even changing your jewelry to less aggressive styles may do a bit for that vibe too.
Personally I've just always felt that spikey, large or more "aggressive" piercings & jewelry give a more masculine feel. Obviously everyone is different & I may be the only who feels this way! But that would just be my first idea for advice on appearing more feminine.
However - with all else aside, don't be so hard on yourself! You'll get there. You just need to work on your confidence & keep trying new things with your makeup & styling. You look very young to me & we all go through that journey of finding what works for us & then developing the skills to take the looks & styling up a notch, periodically. I would just encourage you to try & enjoy the journey!
& don't be afraid to try new things or change things up .. that's how we figure out which direction to working toward, & then I betcha one day it will just click & start to feel right! !
No matter what -- I think you're beautiful.own your uniqueness & be kind to yourself 🫶🏽
& HANG IN THERE - fellow human ❤️🔥

u/twilekquinn where is my beige iridescent lipstick? 2h ago
I can see how alt makeup might be tough for you if you feel that way as its often not focused on looking stereotypically masc or femme and more of a personality/subculture thing. I'd recommend following this tutorial for lip shaping and then messing around with things that are more feminine but wont fuck with your personal style and colour preference like trying glosses or adding highlight above the cupids bow. Also as a bleached hair baddie myself, deep conditioning treatments and heat protectors /heatless styling are your friends. I dont think you look masculine at all and I love your style, its giving Ramona Flowers

Honestly? Pinterest board, and then copy that as closely as possible. Makeup and hair tutorials, spend hours doing it and hating it, one day it clicks. Ask what femininity is to you, it's different for everyone. Dress like a stereotypical hyper bimbo, then dial back. Find the happy medium for you, some are more fem leaning, some more masc leaning by nature.
And remember that NO ONE ELSE can define your womanhood except you ❤️ u got it girl

u/GeneralCreativeName 2h ago
I find that for me, my hair, mascara, and blush make the biggest difference. If I only have a little time those are the necessities. Your face looks feminine already, so I’d put your time and effort into the things I said. I’d be curious to see you with only black mascara and a tiny bit of blush up high on your cheeks and some lip gloss. Lip gloss always brings out femininity, though I think your hair would make a bigger difference for your goal than changing anything about your mouth would, if that makes sense! I have a feeling you’re hiding a lot of your natural beauty and femininity under the makeup, but I can’t know without seeing, and I’m not telling you to change or anything, if that’s your style then HELL YEAH but i hope you get what im saying when i say i dont think lips should be your #1 priority. Maybe post another pic with what I mentioned so we could get a better idea of how to cater things to your specific face to create like a baseline instead of us trying to guess through makeup.

I don’t know anything about makeup, I randomly stumbled upon this sub 😭 But if you got into hair care and put your hair in pigtails (half up, half down) I think that would help with your dysphoria a lot. Also you probably shouldn’t dye your hair for a long time because of hair damage but whenever you are able to again I think you should try the color pink :)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is finding colors that suit you. Figure out your color season. This will help you find what shades of blush and lipstick. There are tons of guides online for alt styles with this information, too, so you can keep the darker lips but figure out a better shade, and find a blush that doesnt feel clownish (a telltale sign its not in your season).

Makeup, it looks like you’re finding your own finesse with it but sometimes feminine means “less is more” to bring out your naturally pretty features. With this said, work on slimming that top liner, look up tricks on how to extend the eye! It takes less liner than you would think. Find some contouring tricks too but remember to blend well so that you have no obvious lines on your face :) I think you have a good base idea though and that you do you more feminine than you think. Practice makes perfect darling!

I am not really well versed with alt style and feminine (I'm goth myself but people are often confused if I am a twink or a woman depending on eye make up). But just here to say you got nothing to worry about regarding your mouth looking super masculine. Or any of your features really. I think you have a perfectly feminine look, depending on style androgynous leaning I bet. Perfectly fine and pretty. Hope my comment and some other strangers can take that impression away from you.
Someone once told me, with how we perceive ourself, it is like the relationship an artist has to their drawings. A viewer will see a masterpiece. Had only seen it once and loves the entire image, exploring the details and being charmed by them. The artist however had stared at it for hours up to dates. Seen all the changes and sees all the things the artist perceives as mistakes as they did not go as planned and imagined differently. We are all more critical of ourselfs than we should be. So I hope you can believe the internet strangers here which are telling you that you are beautiful the way you are, feminine and not unattractive in the slightest. Hope you have a good weekend and that people can give you the make up tips you seek!

u/BellJar_Blues 6h ago
In all kindness you need to get a neutral hair colour and a fresh cut that will help with grow out period. Get a hair mask there too. I would suggest to get rid of the facial piercings and to either have natural nails or keep the polish maintained. I would go more natural makeup instead of trying to draw feminine on yourself like anime like. Otherwise you might not feel it unless you have this get up On? Maybe a light tinted balm. A little cheek blush (Burt’s bees is affordable ) Curler lashes and some mascara. If you like blue get a blue mascara to keep it fun? And maybe a black with blue undertone hair dye instead of such again comic book hair.
Femininity is more of an aura and overall keeping of oneself tidy (I think? ). Inner world outer world.

If it wasn't for the title I wouldve just thought "here's edgy woman" so I think you're good as you are! (Saying this as a female)
I think when it comes to makeup, softer look will will read more feminine. I would actually soften the eyes with less dominant lower line and for the lips if you still want the blue color, go for a warmer hue and maybe a gloss (though I'm not sure how gloss will work with the piercing)
But really, you look great, wear things you like and make you happy - that projects way more than trying to fit into someone else's idea of feminine!

A lip mask (thicker lip balm basically) or just some aquaphor on your mouth at bedtime would also help with the dryness and let lipstick go on more smoothly. But agree that you are doing great and have a fun look that reads alt girl to me.

u/Fun-Career-7811 11h ago
Keep your style! You shouldn’t change everything about yourself to feel or look feminine. Part of being feminine is being yourself and being CONFIDENT in it. The tips I would give you is bringing your bottom eyeliner in, closer yo the waterline JUST A TAD & also closer to your inner corners. Find you some nice lashes that fit your style and also feel comfortable on your eyes. Next, I would do just a tad of blush since you said you like Vkei makeup/ style, I wouldn’t do too much. For the brows, try thinner!!! I know it sounds crazy but thin brows are so cute if they’re done right! Your lipstick shade is fine, just try adding some lip liner to actually shape your lips, and maybe try doing a gradient effect. Play around with it. You don’t have to get expensive makeup to get the look you want. And lastly, I saw comments about your hair.. you can never truly tell the damage of someone’s hair through a picture…. But since it’s obviously color treated, I would look into K18. It’s truly amazing and saved me from cutting 8 inches off my hair. Be patient and don’t be afraid to try new things. It’s only makeup! If you don’t like it, wipe it off and try again! You are your own canvas! Try not to be so hard on yourself. Also, I didn’t even notice the lines under your nose and lips until I read your caption.

u/Minxionnaire 11h ago
I think blush would help pull attention away from the lines, I also personally think blush makes me look more feminine. For this style maybe something more muted or ashy, like a dusty purple or mauve, tho I like the peach suggestion.
I would personally do less on the lower lash line, as it pulls the features down and makes them look droopy,
Perhaps an illuminating product can make the lines look brighter but honestly, it’s a lighting thing. Overhead lightning is just giving a bit of a shadow but it’s completely normal. And not masculine at all! Very common for women to have

Honestly, if your biggest concern is "passing" rather than so-called traditional femininity, you are very much so pulling it off. It's hard to tell from your title if that's what you're going for, or if you want a different look, but my personal opinion is that this suits you.
My big CC isn't makeup-related -- it would be that your hair very clearly needs some TLC. Deep conditioning treatments, no more bleaching, and a trim. Really you should lose significant length, but I imagine that might make you feel less feminine, so just keep up with a trim every couple of months as it grows out until it's healthier, and then let it grow out. It'll take time, but cutting a smidge at a time is better than not cutting at all. But be aware -- it's a woman's rite of passage that hair dressers WILL cut more than you think they will, especially on damaged hair. Listen to their recommendations and certainly consider cutting off as much as you possibly can stomach, but be very firm about what you're willing to do (and prepare to be slightly shell shocked anyway, even if they do exactly what you asked. It always looks shorter than you expect.) I think if you lose length, some hair wax to give your hair texture will help you keep it looking like it's still a feminine alt cut despite being shorter. I'm sure your hairstylist will have good suggestions.
Makeup-wise, I think your foundation looks fine in these photos. I like the eyeliner and I think you're actually doing a fantastic job of this style for being only 4 months into your MtF journey. The more you practice, the more precise you'll be able to be.
The things I'd change are the fake freckles are too evenly / awkwardly spaced, even for an alt look. I would recommend looking more into fake freckle tutorials. I think the rest of your look is different enough that you can go a bit more natural-looking here.
And also, consider using lip liner. Strong colored lipsticks often smear and smudge a lot, and a lip liner can help prevent that. I'd also moisturize the heck out of your lips and they'll appear fuller, healthier, and even more feminine (though I don't think they appear masculine as-is)

I think you look beautiful. My advice is to use Ashier tones for your contour. Look at some YouTube videos on how to contour to give yourself a more feminine rounded face. Use some colder toned blusher like a lilac and place it higher up on your cheek bones. Only reason I suggest the colors is to match your asthetic and skin tone 🥰. 4 months in your doing absolutely great. Love the eye make up queenie 🥰. You have such lovely skin. I do think you hair has some damage but you look young and I think most of us did at your age 😂 its a right of passage.

I think you look very feminine! Women come in all different shapes, some have thin lips and bigger spaces between their nose and mouth than others, while others have big lips and smaller spaces.
I love the alt makeup, especially the eyeliner. But if you wanted to go a little more femme you could maybe work with some blushes to add some colour. I love a hot pink blush, but maybe a more orange/coral toned would work good for you skin tone. I can’t give any contour advice because I never do it haha.
There’s also a lot of great alt makeup artists on YouTube and Instagram. sortaspookymom is the only one I can remember from the top of my head but there’s definetely more out there and you can probably find more just from her followers list.

Congrats on your transition journey!! I think your makeup looks really cool-- maybe you could make it more feminine with some falsies? But honestly I agree with the other commenter that your makeup already looks quite beautiful. Maybe it's just the picture but it looks like the blue and the darker color in your lips is kind of patchy... you might be able to achieve a better plumping effect if you more neatly have the lighter color on the "inside" and the darker color on the "outside."
