Some Sage Wig Advice for the Confused Crossdresser..
Ok, so ladies, when you are dressed in your female persona and you have given yourself a name to represent that persona – you then want to find the right hair to reflect that woman don’t you? So where do you start?
The first thing you need to think about is color – what color do you feel your personality needs? Blondes are definitely for the more fun personality (long, layered or wavy bright blonde wigs) but they can also be elegant (soft blonde bob wig) depending on the shade of blonde. Chocolates and browns can be mysterious (layered or wavy brown wigs) or even demure (shorter style brown wigs). On the other hand auburns and reds can be fiery (long or layered red wigs) or intriguing (short & fun red wigs like a deep red bob). Finally for the very dramatic woman a black wig could work – exotic (long black wigs) or very serious & smart (short sleek black bob wig). So try to figure out “who you are” when you are: Amanda, Adrianna, Sofia, Lynda, Sarah, etc. and what color reflects your personality. No matter what color you choose you want to feel “like you” when you put on your hair.
The second aspect you need to look at is style – this will depend on face shape of course. But some wigs can create a slightly different face shape with their style. We would recommend a wider fuller or rounder face shape should lean more towards the shoulder length long and slightly wavy or layered styles – very flattering. The slimmer longer face works very well with long straight hair or a sleek bob style. The fun short layered flicked out wigs are great for almost any face shape and can give that heart shaped face once on – we offer that style in almost every color.
At Gorgeous Hair we hope you will find exactly what you are looking for –we offer a wide range of wigs in a variety of colors and styles to suit every personality. We offer quality synthetic wigs that look and feel like human hair. They are made from high quality Kanekalon fibres and are created to a specific style. You can not use heated styling tools on synthetic wigs but when you wash them (in warm water with gentle shampoo) they will retain their style when they dry (let them dry naturally and use a soft brush to bring back the style). Synthetic wigs can be trimmed to be made slightly shorter or have more layered added – however, it is advisable to take your wig to a professional stylist to do this. As long synthetic wigs are cared for properly they will last a long time.
We offer our wigs at very affordable prices as we deal directly with our manufacturer so there is no middle man, hence prices are lower than some other retail or online stores.
In the New Year we will be offering a small range of human hair wigs in a variety of styles and colors. They will be considerably more expensive of course but beautiful nonetheless. However, do consider that by purchasing a synthetic wig, at a lower price, you can then potentially afford to purchase more than 1 wig so you can change things up sometimes and be a different style or color depending on your mood!
SPECIAL OFFER TO CROSSDRESSER HEAVEN READERS – If you purchase a wig from Gorgeous Hair between Nov 15 – Dec 15 you can get 15% off your purchase! Just use the CODE: CROSS01 when checking out to receive your discount.
We look forward to serving you very soon. Love Liz x



Makeup application begins with concealer, foundation, and powder. Unless you are using a mineral powder foundation, the concealer and foundation can be applied with your finger-not your hand. Use the middle or ring finger to gently smooth on concealer or foundation. The index finger pulls too much on the skin.
Next, the eyes. Find a small version of the foundation brush-flat, with curved top and wedged bristles. With this brush, apply a light-colored shadow from the lashes all the way up to the brow. Next find a small round brush that is cut in such a way that the top comes to a point. That point should fit into the eye crease. Apply a darker shade in the crease. (I’ll have a whole article on eye makeup at a later date.)
Some of the usual complains I hear about makeup are: “It changes color,” “It fades,” and “It slides off my face.” The problem isn’t your makeup. It’s your skincare. Skin that is dry will suck the moisture out of your foundation; thereby, changing the color or causing it to fade. Skin that is too oily can lift the foundation, making it feel like it’s dripping off your face.
As the first girl in my sixth grade class to wear eye shadow, I should have known I was destined to be a makeup artist. It took a BS in Criminal Justice and four grueling years as a parole office to realize I wanted to make people look pretty, not throw them in jail. My training began with BeautiControl Cosmetics, a direct sales line out of Dallas, Texas. I also did promotional modeling for fragrance companies and when my agent found out I was a makeup artist, she sent me into the stores for various cosmetic lines. I made my own connections and started free-lancing for Elizabeth Arden, Hard Candy, Borghese, Francis Denny, Revlon, and many more. I traveled all over Houston and surrounding cities making women look beautiful. What I enjoyed most was teaching them why to use certain products and how.

Vanessa is a happily married 30 year old transgendered woman from Seattle. It's been a long road to acceptance for her, despite the fact that she has been crossdressing for more than 25 years. Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror she longs to see the girl that lives
within her.
