There’s no one secret that I know of, but here’s a couple of tips-

when doing your makeup, make sure to put foundation on your lips as
well as the rest of the face; think of it as primer for your lipstick.
The foundation will allow you to apply lipstick and liner without
having to worry about your natural lipline, and will also help to
make the color “pop” a bit more than applying lipstick to bare lips.

When applying the lipstick, use a lipliner that is a bit darker than
your lipstick, and draw the outline of the lips just to the outside
of your natural lipline- this is probably the most common trick for
making lips look fuller. You can definitely overdo it, so practice to
find out how extreme you want to go. After lining the lips and
applying lipstick, don’t forget to blend the two together for a more
natural look (unless of course you are going for the overly done drag
queen look…)

Another trick is to use two slightly different shades of lipstick
with the lighter shade going on the bottom lip. Lighter colors tend
to call attention to things and make them stand out while darker
colors appear to recede. This is a good way to make the bottom lip
appear fuller, which is really what people are after when they talk
about “full lips”…a full bottom lip will make your mouth appear
fuller regardless of the upper lip. Just making the upper lip appear
fuller doesn’t have much effect at all if the lower one isn’t full as
well.

To get an even more dramatic effect, when you have gotten the
lipstick on, you can apply just a tiny dab of a light color like a
concealer or foundation in the very center of your lower lip,where
light naturally reflects off of it (look at a flash picture of a face
to see where I am talking about). Don’t use too much (just a dot) and
blend, blend, blend…when done properly it will give you a very full
and sensual looking mouth.

Finally, when everything else is done use lipgloss to give that extra
bit of shine. A good alternative to commercial cosmetic lipgloss is
to use a vitamin E gel cap; bite a tiny hole in it, spread some of
the oil on your lips and eat the rest of it when your lips are done.
It’s cheap and actually good for your skin.

There are also lip plumper-type cosmetics available, but I have no
personal experience with them…some people swear by them but they
can be very pricey.

Hope this helps.

I do makeup professional in NYC for film, tv, fashion. I use a product as a base called Cinema Secrets. It is an excellent base and coverup. I really took issue with using the lipstick as a cancelation of the ‘blue from a beard’. Physicians Formula makes wonderful yellow, green, and lavender creams for this purpose.

And an excellent powder to ‘go with’ Cinema Secrets is Lancombe Dual Finish Powder..to be used dry ..not wet as suggested as an alternative. It ruins the powder’s capability. Matte Buff is the perfect all around color for most faces.

The Dermablend is fine for some coverage but I find if you use Cinema Secrets..there may be no use for it. Pan Stick is SOOO outdated. As a matter of fact..many of the women I do…use C S as their everyday makeup.

How to apply demablend

Shaving You will want to remove as much superfluous body hair as you can, as well as get a really close shave for your face. For this process we strongly recommend the use of a quality double-edged razor and a gel shave cream. Some recommended razors include Gillette Sensor Excel and Shick Tracer F/X. A good choice for a shaving cream would be Edge ProGel.

+ Wet face thoroughly with hot water. Use soap to clean your face
+ With soap still on your face, use a facial scrub pad (the rough side) to scrub the beard area. This loosens hairs, which makes it easier to get a really close shave.
+ Rinse face with warm water and apply a quality shaving gel – sparingly
+ Shave carefully. Rinse blade between each stroke. Try hard to avoid dragging the blade sideways (that is what causes cuts).
+ Rinse face and pat dry. Allow your face to air for a few minutes before going on to the next step.

1. Preparation for makeup. Make ure your face is completely clean and dry. Very important. You will probably want to apply makeup while topless in order to avoid soiling clothes – or you may get yourself a hairstyling cape at a professional beauty supply store. Work in a well-lighted area. The more lighting, the better.

2. Makeup application (BASIC LEVEL) from “Chrissy Lynn’s Bulletproof Makeup Techniques.”
Applying makeup is just like everything else in that practice makes perfect.
To begin with, you will need to accumulate the following supplies. I’m going to be brand-specific because I want you to get the right thing, but what you do with the information is up to you.
Finally, a disclaimer: If you haven’t tried cosmetics before, there is a very small chance you might be allergic to some of these products. Use them at your own risk. Likewise, if you get caught by someone you didn’t want to know about this, that is your problem too. I’m just passing along information from a real makeup artist for you to do with as you will.

1. Concealer. I recommend DermaBlend, which can be found at any JC Penny store (their official outlet) or at better cosmetic stores everywhere. Dermablend comes in “Chroma numbers” Chroma 1 is a light beige, Chroma 1.25 is a medium beige. If you cannot find Dermablend, us Pan-Stik as your concealer, which is available everywhere.

2. Cheap RED Lipstick. You won’t be using this on your lips. A good one is “Wet And Wild” in the shade “535A.” You can see the displays of Wet and Wild lipsticks in little racks at the ends of cosmetic aisles in most drug stores.

3. Foundation. I have a few choices you might want to consider:
+ Revlon ColorStay. This stuff really has staying power. Once it dries (in about 60 seconds) it won’t come off till you scrub it off with facial cleanser.
+ Max Factor Lasting Performance. This is fairly opaque and tends to stay on well.
+ Almay Sports Formula Tint. This only comes in three shades (“Light” will work for most of you) but it has the advantage of being sweat-proof. Scrubs off with soap and water. This is the one I use most.
+ Revson’s Ultimate II Ultimate Coverage. This is the most opaque of all the items in this list and is recommended for problem faces.

4. Loose Face Powder. Coty “Translucent Medium” will work for most of you with beige complexions. For lighter skin tones, use “Translucent Light”. Be sure to pick up a good powder brush too!

5. Max Factor “Pan Stik.” Some of you will need this. We will use this if you have a serious problem with dark facial hair shadows even after shaving.

6. A nice Lipstick (this one is for your lips).

Once you have assembled your supplies, we can get started!

+ Start with a clean-shaven face. I know that should go without saying, but it is very important. Use a good double bladed razor like Gillette Sensor Excel. If you are using an electric, it is time to convert! Wet face thoroughly and use a facial scrub sponge (the rough side) to loosen hairs. Use a good Gel shave cream and shave carefully.

+ Make sure your face is completely dry. If necessary, use an astringent such as Witch Hazel to make sure you have removed all oils from the surface of your face.

+ Start with your concealer. Put a few dabs on your cheek and blend thoroughly with your fingers, using circular strokes. This, as with all makeup items, should be a thin coating. Continue to cover the entire beard area in this same manner – one section of face at a time. Like every technique you see here, this takes practice.. lots of practice. If you are in a big hurry you might want to consider having a transformation session done by Chrissy … this will help you understand makeup application much more clearly.

+ Take the cheap lipstick (“Wet and Wild”) and dot your face lightly over the beard area. It will look a little like a case of the measles. Blend this into the Concealer with your fingers. When done, you should have a slight sunburned look to your face over the beard area. If it is too red then you over did it and will need to put a bit more concealer on to even out the color. This is not a joke. The secret is that the red of the lipstick cancels out the bluishness of beard shadow. Women have used this trick to hide bruises and such for many many years. It works.

+ (Optional). Pan Stik. If you have a bad problem with blue shadows even after shaving, you will want to apply Pan Stik at this point. Make several streaks with the stick over your beard area and blend with your fingers to an even coloration. If you use this step, you will now need to wait about 5 minutes for the Pan Stik to “set” before moving on to the next step. If not go directly to applying foundation.

At this point you shouldn’t have any blueness from your beard showing through. If not, keep working at it, it just takes some practice.

I use a product called “Dermablend” it is an excellent product it is designed as a corrective cosmetic and I find it to be an excellent product it is not caky and it does not look like you have on ten pounds of make-up you can order it probably through a cosmetic store it is made by a company in the USA and available all over the world (I live in Canada and can buy it at my local retailer)

you can use spirit gum. its a type of glue used for special effect make up. smooth them out with the glue and cover them up with foundation and cover up makeup.now i really suggest only use this at night time because in normal light its a lil fake looking, but i have seen people do it really well and make it look real. you just have to play around with it.

If you talk to a nail tech at a beauty salon they will probably tell you ,need calcium. i had the same problem and i take 500 mgs of calcium a couple of times a week. this seems to help my nails from splitting and cracking. hope this helps.

I get acrylic put onto the surface of my nails. When they grow they don’t split or tear. They need an infil about every three weeks. We could last longer but unfortunately we are not as careful with our nails as most GG’s so they will need the odd repair. I have lasted at least two weeks without repairs and I don’t consider myself careful with my nails. BTW, they don’t look shiny after being done as long as the nail technician buffs them.

There are lots of creams and home made remedies to reduce puffiness. My experience has been that most tell you they work over an extended period of time and that you must use it every day for weeks before you see results. To me that sounds like they want you to buy more cream. Don’t laugh but one amazing home remedy I heard about from a Hollywood beauty consultant is preparation H. It’s cheap and easy. It appears to work immediately and works well. Use a very small amount of the ingredient and experiment with what works for you. It appears that the active ingredient is intended to reduce swelling and inflammation. I understand that a similar process goes on under this skin of puffy eyes. I put a small amount on my pinky and then smooth it under the eye. I leave it there for 15 minutes and then wash it off. It provides good reduction in puffiness for moderate puffiness. However, if you have really puffy eyes then I’m afraid only surgery will actually make that go away.I hope this helps but please remember you may get different results.

The best way is to find a tight fitting panty girdle and a kotex pad. You take you balls push them up inside and pull you long clip back between your legs and pull back and up. Then place the pad in place and pull the girdle up tight inplace you will have smooth look and you will think you lose your thing. The reason you need the pad is the longer you walk you have a chance that you will cum in your panty girdle. You will love it.

One of the big problems with tucking is crushing the jewels. You have to hold the skin around the testicles at the bottom and push the testicles up into the body by squeezing the loose skin. This doesn’t hurt. Use both hands to get both balls and pull the loose skin up around both sides of your big “clit”. If it isn’t hard or semi-hard, you can usually then pull it between your legs. I try to stretch it so the head can rest in my anus. If you’re long enough, you can poke a flacid “clit” up into your anus and you will appear to be all woman. You should be able to feel your testicles under your skin just above the base of your “clit”. Pubic hairs tend to get pulled, but that’s what happens to those who can’t shave!

I use a small 4 piece of Toilet paper and wrap the little thing up. I am quite well endowed, and this seems to help. Makes it so there is no contact with any type of clothing, or yourself. A lady friend can’t believe that I can make it look like that. I even wear pant/slacks and it has gotten to be where I can look natural. Also there is a Flexies Product that is a “SHAPER” and really is the best! Get one for you at Target or some other store that sells the “Waist Trimmer”. Then just think Woman Woman Woman. You’ll get all the Whistles and looks you ever wanted.

I do shave and find that if I tuck my balls into my pelvis and then pull my penis back to my anus I can then use some very strong tape to keep me in. This gives a really nice line.
