Have you ever wondered how some crossdressers manage to achieve such a perfectly feminine face, with not a trace of that tell – tale stubble? Well, I’ve been on this journey too, and I’m excited to share all the tips and tricks I’ve gathered. It’s a long – standing goal for many male – to – female crossdressers like me to eliminate any signs of their male features, especially the beard and facial hair.
Let’s start with the makeup part, which is often the last line of defense. Even after a meticulous shave, there’s usually a thin, bluish – gray layer that stubbornly peeks through the foundation. It’s like a sneaky little spy trying to give away your secret. But fear not! There’s a simple and effective way to deal with it.
An introductory and rather well – known trick is to use red lipstick. First, thoroughly wash your face and let it dry completely. Then, before applying the foundation, carefully spread red lipstick around the area where your beard used to be. It’s like using a magic wand to transform the color. After waiting a couple of minutes for the lipstick to dry, proceed with your regular foundation application. Voila! That pesky five o’clock shadow will seem to vanish into thin air.
However, if you want to take it a step further, especially if you have lighter skin, an orange color corrector is your new best friend. Pair it with a high – quality, full – coverage foundation (yes, it might cost a bit more, but it’s worth it). Once you’ve mastered this combination, no one will ever suspect that you once had a beard.
But makeup is just the final touch. Before you even get to that stage, there’s a lot of groundwork to be done.
After shaving, your face needs some tender loving care. After applying shaving cream at least twice for a cleaner shave, wash your face with warm water. Use a gentle dabbing motion to remove the excess water. Since your face is likely to be sensitive at this point, avoid rough rubbing with a cloth, as it could irritate your skin. Think of your skin as a delicate flower that needs to be handled with care.
Next, rinse your face with cold water. This simple step helps to close your pores, like shutting the doors to your skin’s little rooms. Dab again to get rid of the extra water and let your face air – dry for a bit. As the last step in this skincare routine, apply an aftershave balm. It’s like giving your skin a refreshing drink, keeping it well – moisturized and healthy throughout the day.
Now, let’s talk about the actual shaving process. This is the first and crucial step, and there are some insider tips to make it a breeze.
Before you start, always wash your face with a good – quality soap and running water. It’s like preparing a canvas before you start painting. Then, grab a sharp razor. It’s best to choose one specifically designed for facial shaving, like Gillette or other well – known shaving brands. Never use the same blade for your face and legs. Each part of your body has different needs, just like different plants need different types of soil.
Using shaving cream is a must. It’s like a lubricant that allows the razor to glide smoothly, making it easier to remove the hair and preventing those accidental cuts. It’s a good idea to shave while you’re in the shower or near a sink. This way, you can wash your blade regularly. Clean the blade after every one or two strokes. A wet blade cuts better, and it also stays efficient. It’s like keeping a tool sharp and ready for action.
As you shave, keep an eye on your progress in the mirror. This ensures that you don’t miss a single hair, helping you achieve the smoothest face possible with a razor and shaving cream.
Before you even start thinking about shaving, there’s an important preparatory step. For about a week, after each shower, exfoliate your face. Exfoliating is like polishing a rough surface to make it smooth. It makes your skin softer and stops those annoying ingrown hairs from developing.
If you keep this up for a while, you’ll notice a significant difference. Your skin will become silkier, and your facial hair will be looser. As a result, shaving will be much easier. It’s a great alternative to waxing, especially for sensitive areas like your face, because it doesn’t harm your skin.
In fact, regular exfoliation can even make your skin stronger. So, even after you’ve removed your facial hair, you should continue this routine, especially if you’re a casual crossdresser and not planning to go through HRT to get rid of body hair, like some trans women do.
In conclusion, achieving a clean, feminine face as a crossdresser is a multi – step process. It involves careful preparation, proper shaving techniques, post – shaving skincare, and effective makeup tricks. By following these steps, you can confidently present a more feminine version of yourself. So, are you ready to embark on this transformation journey?
