      Speaking of Sephora and trans folks, they have a collection of how-to videos on YouTube specifically for trans people!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUW-yIPkaaw&list=PL3bXGmBu_7gs-pTXfUDmUFuD7_GCh1TIv …

      Huh. Nice find. I'm stumped at the "what even am I trying to accomplish" phase with makeup options.

      that's super fair and I skidded around a lot trying new things it seems like one of the easiest "oh, now I get why people like this" products is mascara

      for what it's worth, I don't wear makeup every day. and when I do, I don't use foundation or do any contouring. my skincare routine is also almost nonexistent. so just figure out what you like/want and only do that.

      Yeah, it's that last part that is hard. I'm not sure what to do :) So I do nothing.

      when i started trying makeup "seriously" (fairly late in life for a cis woman), i found it easiest just to start with one feature at a time, like just lips or just eyes. eyes are especially fun because the results are often surprising.

      yeah you cannot tell what it's going to look like until you put it next to your eye. walk around a sephora and dab colors on your eyelid for funzies.

          I don't know if you've been to a sephora or larger makeup store before, but sampling makeup is encouraged and everyone will be doing it. You won't be weird.

          So can people just go to Sephora and say "show me what's possible?" cos that might be suuuuper useful to get started.

          Yes totally! One note: absolutely don’t feel pressured to buy things even if they spend a bunch of time helping you. It’s their job to help and to try to hard sell you things, so just remember you don’t owe anyone any purchases.

          also their return policy is super forgiving

          I might be overly sensitive to that stuff or maybe it’s a different culture in Canadian Sephora, but I do feel quite pressured to buy things after they help me out

          I'll be on the lookout for it. I am hopefully resistent to the hard sell but it'll be stressful there
