seriously, i for real actually have quite a lot of experience in this area and it's not even aimed specifically at transgender women but is just good advice in general for women of any experience level.
First of all, the best make up is a great skin care routine.
-wash your face. every day. using glycerine soap. avoid surfactants and products with silicone.
-balance PH with a quality cleaner
-gentle exfoliation is key. either mechanical or with an exfoliating product. glycolic acid serums should be used sparingly
-use a toner with vitamin C to help with dark circles and pigmented blemishes.
-serums with hyaluronic acid ARE CURATIVE solutions for fine to deep frown lines and wrinkles. GET IT. USE IT. GUYS TOO DIPSHITS.
-night creams with retinol are miracle products that can tighten and plump droopy skin around jawlines, mouth and cheeks.
*for use at night only, follow directions, over use of retinol can cause ugliness
-use a FUCKING QUALITY moisturizer. EXPENSIVE IS FUCKING BETTER.
-and, finally, lemon juice is an effective tool to combat blotchy, ruddy complexions. and cucumber slices WILL help reduce bags under eyes from puffiness you late night slags.
-and, last, drink water. drink a lot of god dang water. stop drinking soda and tea and poisoning your skin with sugar and caffeine and cancer causing sweeteners. just remember the poem, An Ugly girl will have a cola, but a pretty girl will always DRINK FUCKING WATER U TWATS.

And if you're still ugly, here are few makeup tips
1. Primer. PRIMER. P-R-I-M-E-R. use it.
2. don't bake your foundation. don't be dumb. are you transgender or are you a drag queen?
*no offense to drag artists, but, c'mon, let's be real. you look like one. ladies don't bake their foundation.
3. contouring should blend with a gradient, and never use contouring that darkens your skin past a natural tan for your skin color.
4. BLENDBLENDBLENDBLENDBLEDBLEND FOREVER
5. just dont do the eyebrow thing you got step-by-step instructions for from the internet.
6. do your lips like betty boop when you apply lipstick.
and, finally, everywhere you go, ALL OF THE TIME, you should always look like you're about to say BUG JUICE but stop short of actually saying the BU- part. lips slightly open as if you just inhaled air to say B- but don't, like someone is interrupting you and you keep trying to say B- and they just won't give you the chance. and smile like it's funny to say BUG JUICE because it is. Especially when being photographed. Don't say cheese, that's for non pretty girls. say B- (exactly)
And you'll never do the stupid fishlips thing again. say NO to fishlips, say yes to BUG JUICE (but don't SAY it)

thank me after you beat all the boys off with a stick. or, even better, don't use a stick.
