Hello all,
My name is Tiffany and I wanted to share my first experience getting a full makeover. I am NEW to this. Haven't dressed since I was in my early teens. I went to Phoebe Cross , a professional makeup artist who specializes in mtf makeovers and has a huge assortment of clothes, wigs, accessories, etc to try on and get some beautiful pictures made. I did a 3 hour makeover.
We started by talking about what I expected and what kind of clothing I was interested in. She helped me pick out some intimites to wear then sat down in the makeup chair. She took the time to explain what she was doing and did a terrific job. I am not passable, but I was way prettier than I thought I would be, very feminine and was so happy with my new look. I tried on some wigs, then we took pics of me in several different wig / clothes combos for the next couple of hours. When my time was up, she made sure to get all of my beautiful makeup washed off.
I have an overnight to her place next week. Makeover and out to dinner. I have never been out in public before and am excited and terrified at the same time, but I will do it.
Folks, if you have the time in the Atlanta area, look Phoebe Cross up. She is a wonderful lady who loves what she does and has tons of clothes to try on.
New to this site and wanted to share,
Tiffany
Getting my first full makeover from a cosmetologist and salon owner in a couple of weeks. I am very excited.
I am so jealous Tiffany. That sounds like if was so much fun.
Congratulations, Tiffany! Isn't Phoebe just the best? I went to her about 5 years ago and am aching to go again. How is Phoebe? I think of her often as she did my first full makeover as well; my experience was exactly as you described.
Hugs,
Jen
Thanks for sharing Tiffany... I was on her site earlier today! I've dreamed of a place like that, and (near) Atlanta is only a few hours away. So glad to hear it's a good experience! (PS... no way I'll EVER pass)
A professional make-over is something I recommend to anyone new or serious about looking your best or wanting to go out in public. As guys most of us are pretty lame on makeup, dressing etc. Even if we watch videos etc it’s not the same as doing this most of your life. Can you really decide the proper shades for your skin tone from just one brands lineup of 30 or 50 shades? I feel it money very well spent. You will see your potential and learn a lot from this day. Makeup from a professional is fantastic but if a service can also help with clothes, wig, forms you should spend the extra. You will walk away with a memory that will never leave. After that check into some makeup lessons. You would be surprised at how many salons or private people will do this.

Jealous! Sadly I am not aware of any services like this nearby me. I don't think I could ever pass really but it would still be fun.
In the New England area, I've seen "My Changing Room". I'm going there next week, and I'm so excited. My wife is away for business that week and I totally get to indulge. I feel like I finally get to see my full potential. And to talk with someone who's an expert at transforming people like us into the people we want to be. I've been looking forward to this for weeks now, and I can barely wait!! Depending on how well it goes, I might even go out into the world, and take my first steps in public. We'll see how much confidence I have. I may totally chicken out at the last second.
I would love to hear about anybody in the Denver, Colorado area that does makeovers. Any names please.
I loved my first makeover: after years of making do I plucked up courage to have a makeover at a dressing service. (England) glorious experience with full make up, nails, wigs etc. Secretary, mom, schoolgirl, preg (!) etc. She dressed too! Unforgettable.
I am booked in for a department store makeover in 9 days time, it's going to be my first time out in daylight as a woman and I can't wait. I want to be as feminine as I can so am going to wear a skirt and am going to love being sat opposite the girl who is going to do my make up keeping my knees together! Just can't wait to be fully and professionally made up!
I think I want to get one to someday, but Its to hard to just go and do it. No places around me will provide all the things needed (Makeup, wigs, clothes) and I cant just go to a different country to do this without raising some questions. I dont even know If I can keep the photos if they will be taken.
Any way good for you :D, Maybe some day when it will be more comfortable I will get one too.

Phoebe is a wonderful person and oh so kind and understanding. I'm so glad your experience with her was as wonderful as mine.
If your are near Atlanta or visiting, and interested in a makeover, I strongly recommend spending and afternoon or more with her.

This has been one of my dreams to be made up much prettier than I could do myself and then go out into the world. Even better if I was able to had some pictures that I could keep for myself to look at later in life. Not sure if there is anyone in the Northern Va area that does this, so if anyone does know... please pass their info on to me.
thanks!
So envious here! Good for you!
