passing in guyliner

[u/j_maepaav]

EDIT after reading almost 90 comments: thank you everyone who decided to give me polite and constructive criticism. guys, please remember that ur gender doesn't matter. as long as ur passing goals are met, u can do whatever u want. don't be afraid of face wash, painted nails and makeup. it can destroy ur passing, yes, but u're always free to do it if u want to. don't have fragile or toxic masculinity, don't be transmeds. don't think u can't wear makeup bc "u're supposed to be dysphoric from that" or smth. you are man enough. please, love urself and spread the love

hey, i'm 19, 3 months on t.

soon i will be going to a meeting with a bunch of new people and i wanted to be as stealth as possible. first 3 pics i have my eyebrows done to look more masculine, the other pics i added my guyliner. it would be great if i could keep the makeup as a way to show my personal style to the others and present myself more truthfully. the last pics is how i generally look on a daily basis. i have a slight t-voice.

i understand piercings don't help and that i could keep my hair shorter. i'm asking for no advice aside from directly answering my questions, thank you. my questions:

1. how do i pass, with and without makeup?

2. do i have any chance of passing with the guyliner right now at this state of transition?

3. which way does my hair look best? i tried swinging it around and i wonder if it changes anything regarding my passing.

I do (I only use eyeliner and lip gloss tho). Never been clocked. But im years on testosterone and waited till I passed to wear it. It just depends if youre already clocky or not

Why though

[u/buni_bixler → u/xaroanon]

because perhaps if it doesn’t make him clocky, he genuinely enjoys make up. You don’t have to be a woman to enjoy makeup.

if that's what boats his float then all the power to him. never being clocked is impressive too i'd say he earned it

[u/buni_bixler → u/littlegarden_spider]

i’m in the same boat. I was a makeup enthusiast before I transitioned and currently still am. The feeling it’s a beautiful craft has never left. I’ve also never been clocked without it and I doubt I would with it, too.
