To the person who suggested trying a more plum shade, here ya go! And to the others who suggested placing my blush a little higher on the cheekbone, done! I love the look!!!!! And to everyone else! Hi again you beautiful people!!!!

I swear, I'm pretty sure you guys changed my life here with the plum and blush positioning suggestions. Seriously, I've never felt or seen myself more beautiful! It's almost made me emotional lol. So THANK YOU all, I'm so grateful for this sub.

My intent was to just mess with makeup a little this evening and not go out... but then I ended up looking a little foxy, so now I have to figure out where to go show off a little! LOL!

Some baby blue eyeshadow, matching nails, and some dark blue eyeliner and shading just on outer corners of eyes to match the blue in my kimono! Felt pretty... or pretty coordinated!

Last pic of this weekend's outfits. I really hope I can figure myself out before turning 53 this year. I seem to just get more confused the more I work on my feminine appearance.

This is the last pic I have in my phone en femme. I don't know what it is, but getting to this point and seeing myself in these latest pics has caused some mental freak out or something... like I lost my identity from the last 50 years of guy life. Feeling an identity crisis vs. euphoria perhaps??

It's taken me 2 years to mentally get to where a part of me actually is starting to believe I make a believable decent looking woman! Went with some blues tonight!

I'll be 53 in a few months and still pre-everything. It's like I can't make up my mind about HRT. I'm usually a very focused passionately driven person, yet I'm feeling conflicted and confused. Sigh.

Knowing I'm walking around entirely in dollar tree makeup definitely adds to the fun and satisfaction. Always such a great adventure, and always so darn fun showing it all off.

Sometimes this girl just wants to be all sexy and stuff. Totally did myself up tonight and hit up the town, so based on all the compliments I got tonight, the extra makeup effort paid off.

I wanted to post this as an update to my post yesterday because while all of you were amazingly supportive, it went a slightly different direction than intended because I said man face. It was literal, a replacement for saying 52M in reddit terms. So here I am, no makeup, clear lip gloss.

Tonight's look was just adorable! I wanted to pinch my own darn cheeks every time I saw my reflection! LOL. All new copper and brown toned everything, from eyeshadow to lip gloss. Copper!

When all your female friends yack on and on and complain about how much attention, cat-calls, and come-ons they get every day, just listen, empathize, sympathize... then run home, get dressed, go out en femme and get some yourself! I ain't complaining.

Being MTF (the makeup, the learning, the techniques, the tools, the clothing, the lingerie, the jewelry, the outings, the social interactions, the allure, the beauty, the sexiness of femininity), all of it, is too fun... almost dangerously fun!

Not too shabby for an old dude. LOL! :)

My hair has gotten so long... that alone makes me feel more attractive and confident. It even feels like I'm in some sexy slow motion music video when I walk around all dolled up and it gets all disheveled from the wind LMAO!

Went with shimmery light gold eyeshadow, dark brown shimmer on the outer corners, bright shimmer on inside corners, moved my blush lower from the cheekbone and blended not as far forward as normal. I was FIRE tonight I'd say.

Getting pretty good at actual makeup application! Feeling it, and feeling it beautifully. LOL.

Back to my 'ol self. My signature look out there in the world :) This is how I started. This is what my regular shopping stores know me as. So this is how it continues. Though I think I've gotten a little better at it!

Teal eyeshadow and brought my darker blush up higher on my cheekbone. (Thank you r/MakeupAddiction for the CC). Also found the cutest sheer kimono with daisy print. Love this bright summery look!!!!!

I just love this girly stuff and getting all sexied up!

I thought this was pretty based entirely on how the sun is hitting the back of my hair! I mean, I guess I kinda look cute in it too.

Do I look older or younger with my hair down? Can't decide! I don't wanna look like an old lady! LOL

Kept tonight's makeup and look super basic since I had um, a lot of sexy going on already on the bottom half. LOL. Incredibly wild evening though... very active.
