Makeup is my Magical Super Power

What is the level of transformation you offer for someone transitioning gender MTF?

Makeup is an incredible tool for transforming the facial features!
 Brows can be redone, Eyes lined to reshape and enhance
Lips softened and colorized.
Age appropriate makeup can be selected that speaks to the
true presence .I also am a permanent makeup artist so these looks can be created easily so daily application is a base and "fuss/muss free"
 I also would suggest skin treatment because the skin should be re-conditioned and less base foundation would be needed.
I am considered a minimalist in makeup; essentially I know exactly what works!!
I also am very very fortunate to work with a facial feminization specialist and a body restoration
surgeon ~  heaven ~!~  ( this is also helpful for the FTM patients)



How is this achieved ?

First a number of photos are taken . Both profile views , frontal
and the face is analyzed for  shape and structure
 There is a way to identify the more feminine features and masculine
Each area in the Patient profile is identified with the best makeup treatment to achieve
the morphography desired.
For instance :beard coverage achieved by "tricks of the makeup trade"
Colorations are actually chosen to be attractive and in accordance with skintone,eyecolor
lifestyle , event or outfits.


Is it a big commitment ?

As with all studies of feminine and masculine the level of dedication is important .
The biggest issue to address is the comfort,wearability and attaining the level of believability.
I find the biggest achievement  is your to mastery to apply our ideas
 to yourself ;  that is a rewarding part of the practice.

Why should I come to you verses a makeup department store?

I am working in a private room  in a Medical facility ...and
 ... the session is all about you!
 the rates are 75 a half hour -Makeup Coaching
You are not put on display nor pressured to buy anything!
You can bring your own product to the  instruction and sometimes I have the more correct tools ;)
If they need to be special ordered which is a separate bill or we need to take a "field trip"once again you pay for my time.
also , what I charge is based on paramedical aesthetic rates for my industry
there is no raise in rates for transgender:).
I am booked in advance my service is paid online

Always learning

I pride my self on being adjustable sometimes mutable all for the sake of learning and being part of the experience.As with actively participating in the activity
There is always room for improvement, I must keep my eyes wide open and remain eager and child -like with intuition and awareness on high
So when the time passes and I look back can I remember the lessons?. Maybe they have been absorbed and stand as red flags or the time to take off "the governor" full speed ahead
I like the idea of being a magical being experiencing this dimension for the first time as surreal as that sounds it is best to sometimes take the role of the observer/- always learning
