Got the courage to go into an Ulta to get makeup yesterday. Didn’t take much courage, actually… I was in a mask and needed foundation and the want to sell it to me.
Anyway, the courage comes from when an SA asks if they can help (when I’m in drab) and I reply “So, I crossdress. I need some foundation and blush.” The young lady was very nice, and ended up having a good time helping me pick out a shade of foundation, a good rosy blush, a contour/highlight combo, and two sets of brushes. I also grabbed two eyeliner pencils. $108 later, I’m in a better place. Realized I should have grabbed a good mascara (mine is cheap gloppy stuff) and maybe a lipstick. It was nice!! 🥰
I can’t wait until these places open up their makeover services again. I need to learn how to use these brushes now… I’ve always used sponges for my foundation and stuff. I did get some eye brushes, which I am excited about. Should be WAY better than the tiny cheap foam applicator that comes with some eye shadow.

Sounds like you had a great time!
What did you get in detail? What else do you use? If you mind me asking. 😀
I’m getting ready to take the plunge into makeup myself, and Im doing research like crazy. I also watch Juliette Noir on youtube. She does amazing makeup and uses a lot of sponges and brushes. Im studying and taking notes. LOL

I am also so new to this, in fact so new i have only made one attempt at this makeup. However i wanted to share with you what i have found. I too had hoped to find someone who i could hire to help me get a makeup routine put together. I’ve decided that this wont happen until lockdown is over. However what i found was what i thought was a very good tutorial prepared for TG girls by a makeup artist. I think its about $60. and to me it was what i needed to help get me started. https://makeupmagicprogram.com/ I’m in no positition to tell anyone how to do this but for newcomer, this helped fill in a lot of blanks for me.

Well I think you did a good job, and to say to a shop assistant you crossdress and need makeup is more than brave xx

Smiles, grace 💋

Before going to Ulta, I was using a Mehron makup kit. Stage makup. I was mixing colors and doing a pretty good job shading and getting a look that wasn’t “caked” on. That and a cheap eyeshadow pack. I’m ready to expand my eyeshadow selections.
Actually today, I was thinking of grabbing a blue multi-pack eye shadow, and maybe a blue eye liner, just to put a tiny bit of highlight. I have a friend who uses blue mascara. It looks cool! Her eyes nearly glow. We’ll see.
