I took a half day off work today to visit a make up artist for a lesson, makeover and chat. I had been wanting some more ideas for going copper-haired and have experimented at home myself. I chose an outfit that would work well with the wig, a right, floral print with pastel pink tights, red cardigan heels and belt. We started working on eyes, then complexion. Blusher was chosen to match the hair, bronzer sharper and higher than normal, lipstick subtle, overall effect gave me a lovely, glowing tone and introduced some new skincare products to me.
A couple of hours of skin care, chat, makeup lesson then photos and it was time to head off. I walked (in heels) back to my car with the eyes of the world not watching me. I felt amazing. I took the car for a drive round the country lanes before heading home. Traffic when I got back to the main roads was busy. I couldn't feel eyes staring at the copper-haired girl in the sports car, a much less nerve-wracking time than my previous experience driving en-femme. It was raining quite hard as I drove towards home.
I stopped off on the way home, slipped a t-shirt and trousers over my outfit, took wig off and got home past the gauntlet of the neighbours. A very enjoyable break from work and a perfect day of pink mist.
@annaredhead Sounds like an amazing experience! I've often thought about going for a makeup lesson to learn how to do it properly 😀 Maybe one day.
By the way, I love the photo you put on recently - such great colours in your outfit complementing your hair nicely!

@annaredhead So glad you felt total free for a bit. I had my makeup done once and it was an amazing experience. It was at a wig store and the manager also did makeup. On my second visit in, I bought the nicest wig I own and she offered to do my makeup. I couple women came in as she was working on me. She had to take a break and help them, which left me there looking at myself in the mirror. I was self conscious for a couple minutes until both women started talking to me and were so supportive. When the one lady was done purchasing her wig, they both came and sat down as she finished my makeover. Got to be one of the girls for the next 30 minutes as we talked about shoes and clothes and wigs, feeling so at easy with myself. The manager took before and after pictures of me and the difference was amazing. She made an outstanding for a real wig into an amazing day! Need to find those pics so I can post them.
It gets a little easier each time you do it Anna. One of these days you'll go out and forget you're dressed as a woman.
@d44 Oh absolutely 🙂 I'm already finding that, only 6 weeks in. I'll just go out, to run my errands or play, once I'm made up. It's just what you do, isn't it 🙂
It sounds like a lovely day. It takes time, but with your attitude you will be struting your sruff out and about to your hearst content. Driving is a good way to get used to being out and seen and coming to the realization that nobody notices you. I just did a thousand mile road trip dressed the whole time while driving, stopping for gas and a bite to eat.
I spent an unplanned night in Las Vegas so I went out to a show and a long walk along the LV Strip. Nobody noticed or cared and I saw and was seen by liyerally thousands of.people. I walked in and out of.my hotel en femme and even had to pock yp my breakgast voucher at the cront desk. It was under my homme name and the clerck had a confused look when I said I.only needed one voucher which was in a man's name buy picked up by a woman. That made my.night After breakfast I said goodbye to the staff and strutted out to my var en femme in a new summer dress I had picked up along the way.
Just enjoy being out and be safe, but don't let anybody.ruin your day.

How wonderful for you, thank you for sharing your experience.
