Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm currently learning a bit of how to do Makeup and so I Am asking you: what are your favourite Makeups tips and tricks that you would like to share with us/me.

I would also like if someone could try to explain how to make blush look "natural".

When is was a kid, my mom took me to Nordstrom and the ladies at the makeup counter told me what to buy and showed me how to apply it. I've done it a couple of times as an adult with success. I think other places, like Ulta, might do it too (but I'm a creature of habit).

As for the blush - I find a color that mimics what I look like after exercising. Then apply the blush to those areas - but in smaller quantities. I feel like it looks better on me than the whole contouring thing. Also, I test anything before I wear it out (like play around before I wash my face at bedtime).
