I'm feeling so much more confident in my trans identity, I te s kind of crazy. I'm at a point where I'm getting more confident removing hair and such.

I'm getting to a point where I'm getting super interested in makeup, especially foundation and contouring to cover my nasty shit and hide my big nose and all..

Also, I so want to get more feminine clothes. A skirt, a dress, something, but idk what, or how to get something to fit my shape?

Basically, I want something new, I have a couple avenues, but I strongly don't know how to do either.

I think you're asking for advice, so here's mine on makeup: practice makes perfect.

It is an art, like sketching, painting, or anything else. Even if you find a good tutorial, you're still going to need to practice. Part of your learning process may include an afternoon where you apply makeup, wipe it off, and apply a few more times so that you can really hone in on some things.

Don't be afraid of cheap makeup, especially while you're learning. Once you know what works for you, then you may decide you want to get some fancier products.

One of the first things I would want to get is some kind of quality remover 😂

That makes sense, it being an art.

Before, I had thought of it as more intimidating because I was thinking all in on everything, but recently realized, I could ease into it with more subtle things, which makes it feel more attainable and maybe more exciting to consider?

Just as a tip: oil based make up removers have worked waayyy better for me and also feel much nicer :)
