[...] Why is that? Why, even without the damnation of those closest to us, and the nearest liberal church do we still find it difficult to love ourselves? I think we’re waiting for permission.

Dear Christina

Thank you for this very helpful article. I think the use of foundation and concealer is where many trans people have make-up problems and this should help in avoiding them.

Experiment is needed to find the application method best suited to an individual face. In my case time wise I find little difference between fingers, sponge and brush but the finish seems more natural with a brush.

I find that a sable brush, mine comes from MAC, recoups its cost in about a year as less foundation is wasted when washing out the applicator than with a sponge.

You need to avoid ‘picking up’ only in one area to ensure that the foundation remains even in the container.

Hugs – Christina

A make-up brush can be handy for foundation. You don’t have to spend a mint on one either – just make sure you look after it.

Bronzer for the chest area can be helpful to add a bit of colour.
