I want to share with all of you, who are relatively new to crossdressing or haven’t met someone with similar interests and gotten help with your dressing, what it’s like to go to a transformation studio.
My first try at crossdressing was when I was 20. A friend of mine said, “You have such a cute face; you would look awesome as a girl.” That intrigued me and made me think about dressing as a woman. I purchased a dress, heels, wig and some makeup. I did my best to dress up, and as I looked in the mirror, I liked what I saw. It started that tingling sensation deep inside my belly…
I did dress up a few more times, but found my significant other and got married. That sensation of when I dressed up went away as I dedicated my time to climbing the corporate ladder of success. After 25 years, going through a divorce and getting involved in the dating scene again, I purchased a lovely suburban home and began living alone. That urge, that tingling sensation of wanting to be en femme came back.
I started to purchase dresses, heels, wigs; all the necessary items to feel feminine once more. Over the past year, I dressed nearly 100 days out of it. I love it, but something was missing. How can I look my best? Someone has to be better at makeup than me. I looked for a professional who specialized in male to female transformations. I admit; I was worried about having someone do the makeover for me, but I was also very excited about the opportunity. I scheduled my makeover with Amnesia Sparkles, AKA Adrian Acosta.
As it grew closer to the actual day of the makeover, it was I all could think about. Even at work, I started day dreaming about how it might actually go. Nervousness overcame me… then excitement…. moments of bliss, and plenty of smiling from ear to ear.
On the day of the makeover, I traveled to the destination, parked, and walked as a dude to Amnesia’s residence. I pressed the bell on the intercom to speak. I hear a voice, “Hello, who is it?” It made me shiver and my hands instantly perspired. I responded in a soft, high pitched tone, “It’s Arial.” There was no response…. just silence. A moment later, Amnesia Sparkles opened the door. That’s when I almost fainted… (LOL)
I didn’t really know where I wanted to go with this transformation. Amnesia began talking about the transformation in a very excited tone. She was so warm and wanted to help with my transformation into a woman. She entertained me with stories about her clients while she did my makeup. I took extra notice as I watched how she used her expertise to contour my facial features, so exact, so caring.
Amnesia provided guidance; offering suggestions for my personality and ways to enhance my current physical look. After my makeover, I posed for numerous photos. Amnesia asked me to pick out some of my favorite music to help put me into a comfortable and fun mood. As some of the music played, I let myself go, feeling ever so much a beautiful woman. WHAT A FEELING…. For the first time in my life, I REALLY felt what being feminine is about and what it truly means to be a woman. I couldn’t stop smiling….What an experience.
For all of you that have never had the opportunity to experience a professional makeover, I strongly encourage you to do so.
Visit a Male to Female professional and be transformed! Amnesia Sparkles provided not only the makeover, but her friendship. I had such a fabulous experience that in the near future, I’m looking forward to another makeover with Amnesia Sparkles. After the transformation, we listened to music, danced up a storm, and laughed so much…
Having the makeover totally relaxed me about my crossdressing. I’m looking forward to my next step; going out in public after my next M to F transformation….
Sisters and girlfriends…Give it a try….. You’ll LOVE IT!!!
XOXOXO

I’ve surprised myself at what I could do on my own with makeup. And although it’s a bit spendy, I have had it in mind to do a professional makeover.
Go for it Michelle….
Hello Arial and thanks for sharing your amazing story! I also had my first professional makeover a few months ago and the experience was nothing short of epic. Reading your story helped me relive my story, as it was nearly identical. I can’t wait for my next one!!
Thanks Nikki,,, Glad your makeover was awesome also…

Thank you Cynthia.. xoxo
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience is such an exquisite way. Your feelings are genuine and should be cherished for many years to come. I believe that others will benefit from your journey.
Hi JOJO,,,,Thank you my friend….
Great story. I too learned much from Amnesia. She’s a Godsend. I would recommend her to anyone.
Thank you for your comments Laura.
Thanks for sharing this story, Arial. You inspire me to go for it. I might check out the place in Pittsburgh or there might be good options for me at Transspa in Havre de Grace, MD or Bethlehem, PA with True Colors Artistry.
What a wonderful article. I’ve had several professional makeovers in the past. I’ve been doing my own makeup for many years and I’m comfortable doing it, but there is just something about being pampered by a professional makeup artist that is so amazing. If you’re considering a professional makeover, just do it. You won’t regret it.
My 2 favorites places are True Colors Makeup Artistry in Pennsylvania. This place is owned by Amanda Richards, and Just You in Las Vegas. The owner Amy is such a sweetheart.
