Waterproof makeup tips for Crossdressers: Perfect for summer

If you love swimming, if you perspire heavily when you work out or if you
simply tend to shed a few tears here and there, waterproof makeup is a must when summer rolls around. Say goodbye to eye shadow caked in the creases of your eyelids, raccoon eyes caused by smudged mascara and foundation that fades.

Waterproof, water-resistant or long-wear makeup?

Long-wear makeup is formulated to last longer than regular makeup (4 to 8 hours more or even up to 24 hours) under normal conditions. It is not meant to resist sweat or immersion in water. As for water-resistant makeup, it will stay put during exercise, a hectic night on the dance floor or a dip in the pool. But if you want something that can withstand all conditions, anywhere, anytime, even under water, waterproof makeup is your best bet.
Quick tip!
Professional makeup artists recommend waterproof makeup for women who have drooping eyelids or fine lines around their mouths, as it keeps makeup from feathering and creasing.

Waterproof your look

Foundation, concealer, eye shadow, mascara and lipstick can all be waterproof or made to be. Here are some suggestions:
  • Complexion. During summer, you usually have a more even complexion and a sun-kissed glow. That’s why you can get away with masking any minor flaws with a waterproof concealer or foundation.
  • Eyes. Choose waterproof eye shadow or apply a liquid protective film over your regular eye colour to waterproof it. Finish off your eye makeup with waterproof liner and mascara.
  • Lips. Apply waterproof lip liner to your entire lip surface. Follow with clear gloss to add some shine. You can also just use waterproof lipstick.
Good to know!
If you have sensitive, reactive skin, waterproof makeup might not be suitable for you, given the extra ingredients it contains. Plus, if you have large pores, waterproof foundation might not be a good option, since it can cause some clogging.

Removing waterproof makeup

Waterproof makeup is so resistant it can sometimes be difficult to remove. To get the job done, you need the right makeup remover.
For eye makeup, you have two options: cleansing dry oil or dual-phase (oil- and water-based) remover. Oil-free makeup removers will only get rid of some of your mascara; you will probably end up wiping harder and harder and this will irritate your skin. For facial makeup, you can use regular remover. In both cases, finish off your routine with toning lotion to eliminate any oil and makeup residue.


Everything you need to know about the transgender bathroom debate


"To paraphrase Denzel Washington’s character in Philadelphia, can someone explain this transgender bathroom controversy to me like I’m a 6-year-old?

"Someone needs to because nothing about the current debate is making any sense."

Gersh Kuntzman did an excellent job making sense of it in the Daily News. Please read what he wrote here.

Fiction about My First Time: Stana in Wonderland

This is the first installment of a new Femulate series in which I invite readers to share their first crossdressing experience. Try to recall that moment the first time you tried on a woman’s garment and began the process of unveiling and exploring your feminine self. 

To entice you to share your first time story, I will give away a free copy of my e-book Fantasia Fair Diaries to all whose stories I use in Femulate.

To kick off My First Time, I will tell you my own story.

My Self-Portrait
I was a renaissance boy.

Growing up, I was interested in many things and some of those things resided on the feminine side of the street called “Life.” My parents did not dissuade me from my feminine interests and my sister accepted my interests because it gave her an in-house feminine playmate.

So I thought that playing house was just as “normal” as playing baseball. And even though some of my peers let me know that I might be a “fairy” because of my feminine proclivities, I ignored them and happily skipped on board the Good Ship Lollipop.

And so it went until one day at the age of 12, I was home alone and heard a voice calling me. The voice was emanating from my parent’s bedroom. More specifically, the voice came from the drawer of my mother’s bureau that contained her intimates.

I felt like Alice in Wonderland as I opened the bureau drawer and my mother’s nylon s beckoned, “Try me!”

I carefully removed a pair of my mother’s nylons from the drawer and rolled each one up my prepubescent hairless legs just as I had seen my mother do so many times in the past. But something was missing.

When my mother put on her nylons, she finished by attaching each nylon to the garters of her panty girdle. My briefs did not have garters, so the nylons were loose on my thighs and slipping to my knees. I needed a girdle. Conveniently, my mother stored her girdles in the same drawer as her nylons, so I borrowed one from my mother’s stash and squeezed my chubby figure into it.

As I carefully attached my nylons to the garters of my girdle, I was impressed on how well the girdle shaped a chubby boy into a feminine figure. But something was missing.

Although I now had a nice figure from the waist down, my girdle pushed some of my body fat up over the top of the girdle joining up with my boy boobs to create an unsightly muffin top. This will never do, so I revisited my mother’s bureau and found the perfect solution: a long line bra. After I slipped on the bra, everything seemed to be in place and I opened my mother’s closet to look at myself in the full-length mirror hanging on the inside of the closet door.

Wow! I was impressed with the female figure that I saw in mirror. I thought I looked a lot like those women I saw in the Playtex and Maidenform advertisements!

As I admired the girl I saw in the mirror, I noticed the stacks of shoeboxes stored in the back of my mother’s closet. I did not hesitate as that voice urged me to go for it. So I searched through the shoeboxes and retrieved a pair of high heel pumps that I quickly slipped on and then revisited my reflection in the mirror.

Wow again! Not only did I have a figure that rivaled a shapely female, but now my legs were as shapely as any female’s!

After admiring myself for a few minutes, I decided that I better disrobe before someone came home. So I carefully removed all my mother’s finery and returned them to their proper place. But my Pandora had escaped and I would often return to my mother’s wardrobe to adorn myself as the girl I discovered in my soul.
