How did you feel when looking in the mirror?

Hi there i have bought me fake breast and a bra .

When i see me in mirror i have never felt so good . For the first time in life i feel alive

Every time I see myself in the mirror en femme and made over, I get this overwhelming sense of peace and calm that I never get otherwise.  Like all the puzzle pieces have been put together properly.

I can agree with you after getting a makeover and look in the mirror I feel peace Joy I just love makeup and it definitely makes me look like a woman and probably 20 years younger I just loved every minute of getting a makeover a good way to describe it just like the song I feel like a Woman 💋

When I was 18 and got my own place, I went on buying sprees, buying all the wonderful and pretty clothes I had wanted for so long, The sexy stilettos, the wonderful pantyhose, stockings and garters, the matching bra and panty sets, the lingerie, the wonderful pretty dresses.

When I put on my sexy stilettos, shiny sheer to waist pantyhose, matching bra and pantyhose with my pretty and very short dress, and looked in the mirror, I was blown away at how I looked. it was amazing. I felt euphoria, bliss, excitement and just about every wonderful emotion. It was incredible. This was me. I had wanted this for so long. Now I was living and experiencing this long time dream and fantasy. I never wanted to take the clothes off. I wanted to look and feel like that all the time. I quickly went out and got a few wigs and makeup to complete my look.

I dressed at home everyday and loved it. Then I got the idea to go out. Everyday when I was dressed, I wanted to do it so much. I began thinking about it all the time. I really wanted to do it but fear held me back. It took a few weeks before my desire became so strong it, overwhelmed my fears and I made the walk from the house to the car. The walking in my heels, the feel of the pantyhose on my legs, the cool air under my dress, my pretty hair moving in the breeze was such a wonderful and amazing experience. I was very nervous and very excited. I drove around for a couple of hours and got out of the car a few times and walked around a bit. I was close enough to where I cold be seen but not touched. it was such and exciting experience. A thrill and rush like I had never felt before.

When I got home, I couldn't believe I did what I did. I also couldn't wait to do it again. Fortunately I did get to do it often, and I gradually got bolder. It was always scary, but even more exciting and thrilling. The rush was like nothing else I ever experienced before or could get from doing anything else. I loved it.

When im dressed en femme and my makeup is on the way that its supposed to be and my hair is styled, it makes me feel feminine and girly with a attitude of being able to do whatever I want to do

Very interesting  question;  after my first makeover, I looked and saw a rather nice-looking elderly lady.  My own makeup skills aren't that good, but as I recently told a friend, I no longer see an old man looking back at me from the mirror.

When I look in the mirror I see a younger version of my mother. I got my haircut recently and the lady who cut it who knows my mother says I look just like her. I was in male mode too. But overall I feel happy when I see a pretty girl staring back at me.

Hi Nick , the very first time I went for a professional CD makeover I was nervous & excited . As soon as I walked in & met Arpi I felt fine , I remember she said " oh you'll be easy to do" ...I thought no way .....well how wrong I was.

That first sight of ALL of me filled my soul , I shed a little tear & tbh admired myself in the mirror . In my best dreams I didn't think I could look so beautiful....my wife has said my femme side is vain 😋.

I go 4 times a year for several years now , it's never dull , I'm open to try any look & occasionally my wife pays for one as a gift.

If any CD girl can do at least one , they'd be so thrilled xx

My BFF took me to Saphora for a makeover. She said it would be fun. It was a horrible experience. When the makeup was done I didn't know who was looking back at me in the mirror. I went home and left the makeup on. I'd would get up every now and then and look at myself. Could not get used to it. I felt ashamed of myself. I couldn't stop crying.  After several hours I couldn't get it scrubbed off fast enough. It really set me back a couple of steps. $300 of product in the bathroom and I just can't work myself up to play with it. I dunno gurls.

Love and Peace,

Amber

Thanks for sharing your story Amber. I'm sorry it was such a bad experience.

Like anything else, not everything is for everybody. You learned that makeovers, and possibly makeup in general, aren't for you. But recognize yourself for trying it. OK so this didn't work out. The next thing you try might be just the thing you've been waiting for all along. 🙂

My first makeover was supposed to be a makeover, some pictures of me dressed up for the first time with someone, and then going out to dinner with the woman who did the makeover.  She runs a transformation business from her home.

Happily but unexpectedly, it wasn't a simple makeover, but she taught me how to do makeup, explaining what she was doing, and even had me do some parts to learn.  Some parts were subtle and I didn't quite see the effect as it was going on.  I wore glasses at the time and being nearsighted, it was difficult to see clearly some of the subtleties.  But still, there was no "big reveal" after it was over, as I was watching the whole time.

My expectation at the time was that this was going to be if not a one time event, a very rare event, both from a cost perspective (I paid for this by cashing in wrapped up coins) and from an opportunity perspective (no one knew at the time).  I'd have to say I did look nice, and definitely believed myself to look like a woman.  My appearance wasn't going to out me to the average person in the diner.  And other than a few seconds of fear when I left her home to get into the car, (it is a quiet residential street so no one was around), and a few seconds when I exited the car before entering the diner, I was strangely calm and confident.  Of course, being out with someone helps, but I think I was mentally ready to go through with it, and wasn't going to let nerves ruin my outing.

The quick answer would be, I felt very pleased with the result, seeing myself completely transformed for the very first time.

I tried my first professional wigs only a few days ago at Wigs by Vee. I chose one that was shorter and much darker than my make-up expert and I  anticipated that I’d like. I love it! Looking in the mirror makes me happy!

My first makeover was done by my wife. I had bought a wig and had it on. Like some of you, I feel calm, happy, blissful! My choice of wig wasn't the best. It went out with one of the purges. I don't miss it. I look at new ones online, but have not bought one. I will need some input so I make a good decision. In the long run, I want to learn to do my own makeup. I have tried, but it is a real skill that takes time to learn.
