How to conceal your beard

---

If you have facial hair, then you know how challenging a beard shadow can be in your quest for a feminine face.

There’s a lot of advice telling crossdressers and transgender women to cover their beard shadow with heavy concealer. Unfortunately, this is totally wrong!

Thick concealer creates a heavy, cakey look that can draw even more attention to the area you want to hide.

So what’s a girl to do?

I’m glad you asked! In this article, I’m going to share 4 must-have makeup items you should use in place of that heavy concealer.

Then you’ll learn how to put them together with a step-by-step video tutorial. It will show you how to conceal your beard shadow with minimal makeup for a natural, feminine look.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Pink or red color corrector

The #1 secret to concealing a beard shadow is to use a color corrector. By neutralizing the bluish tint of the beard shadow, you can achieve a natural look with less makeup.

Choose your color corrector based on your skin tone:

• Use a pink color corrector if you have a light skin tone.
• Use a red color corrector if you have a darker skin tone.

While your best bet is to use a color corrector specifically formulated for the face, another option is to use a matte pink or red lipstick.

Apply it: Use a small makeup brush to stipple a light layer of color corrector over the areas you want to disguise.

Many crossdressers and transgender women tell me that it was easier for them to look feminine when they were younger.

Hair has a huge impact on your appearance. Long hair is undoubtedly feminine, but be careful – hair that’s too long can emphasize drooping.

Consider these styles for a fresh, youthful look:

• Shoulder length hair – This length is universally flattering.
• Bangs – Bangs are cute, youthful, and perfect for hiding forehead wrinkles.

2. Add some sex appeal

While you shouldn’t dress like a 20 year old, you definitely want to avoid looking like a buttoned-up old lady.

Here are some ways to add a bit of youthful sex appeal to your look:

• Wear high heels and flirtatious stockings.
• Choose clothes in sensuous fabrics – like lace, velvet, and fur.
• Show some skin (just not too much!).

We all need our beauty sleep, but the older you get, the more a lack of sleep shows up on your face.
