Putting a little more arch into the underside of your brow might help (mock-up here), though I think your facial structure (your brow and jaw) are the most clockable features. I'm not sure there is anything you can do for that other than hormones or facial feminization surgery.
You might be able to cover your forehead/brow with bangs, though. This is a great wig that I have which is really realistic (it's more realistic in person than in the photos here)
I've found dresses are easier than skirts, they're just one thing and more forgiving on not quite feminine hips. I'm a big fan of the shirtdress or oversize flannel look. Try to get tops that are longer and cover your butt and a pair of sweater tights to wear under dresses with boots.
Finding a conditioner is an arcane art that is going to require experimenting with what works, though the stylist can help. Just trust them to make you look good.
I think you can definitely pass with longer hair, maybe even Pre-T though that will be hard, it looks like it suits your face more, either way, you're not wrong about that.
You have the whole internet to look around for, if you see something you like and have photoshop or ( https://pixlr.com/ a free online alternative ) just take a picture with your hair tied straight up so you can "cut" it all off and replace it with a haircut you might want to try.
Aww thank you
Typically in public I don't really get "sir"-ed anymore, but sometimes I just think people are being nice.
Yes, I'm intensely critical :S
Here's a picture from today that shows my shoulders a little better http://tinypic.com/r/2n7mdk3/8
adjective 1. of or relating to present and recent time; not ancient or remote: modern city life. 2. characteristic of present and recent time; contemporary; not antiquated or obsolete: modern viewpoints. 3. of or relating to the historical period following the Middle Ages: modern European history. 4. of, relating to, or characteristic of contemporary styles of art, literature, music, etc., that reject traditionally accepted or sanctioned forms and emphasize individual experimentation and sensibility.
I think he's using definition #4.
Really love your eyes! Green eye master race hehe.
Anyway, get yourself a lace wig. Ideally with human hair, but they can get really pricey. I have a cheap synthetic one I got off of amazon that looks okay if you're tight on money. It's pretty easy to see that it's a wig if you examine it closely/try to run your fingers through it though. In any case it probably wouldn't hurt to try out a cheap wig first to find a style/color that you like and if you're even okay with wigs (I get itchy/sweaty easily in mine, especially now that things are heating up).
Here's the one I have (hopefully this link works lmao I'm on mobile and it's being difficult):

I agree that your hair is the only thing holding you back here!
On Amazon there are a number of cosplay wigs that are inexpensive and surprisingly natural looking. For example, I've worn this one out on a date and felt totally comfortable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0140X8DJ2/
Hi Isabella.
:D Have you been reading my other posts? LOL That's pretty much the secret though.
Okay, so the method evolved away from tape in this picture. I got one of these beauties on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NCFHPWA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_YkDGzbVEVX99D
So the tape hassle is gone. You use the sticky bra to pull your own flesh together into a cleavage shape. You need breast forms (cheap ones are fine, they're what I use - similar to these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G7CPLE4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_poDGzb5QW39WV) You need to get a size that's 1-2 cup sizes lower than your normal (target) bra size. You also need a push-up bra of your target size (padded or not is your choice). And you also need something with a neck line to show off your weapons of mass distraction LOL.
So, follow me carefully, here we go;
-Scoop your boy boobs together with the drawstring sticky bra.
You will need a few tries at where best to place them for your body and total bra size.
-Put on your push up bra.
-Pop your forms in the bra.
-Get your top/dress on.
-now the only real fiddly bit, you have to have to have the bra just tight enough so the forms kinda press up to you rather than just resting there.
You need to re-gather all your own flesh forwards at this point.
A little contouring your new boob shapes doesn't hurt either but don't go mad with it.
Now, you get your top/dress neck line to rest so that your forms/bras are not seen, but your new boobs are. I rest mine with about an inch and a half or 2 inches overlap for safety.
There it is, I guess LOL
Well, you have SO much to work with – those HUGE eyes, and great skin. You're just lovely. I agree about the wig; that's pretty common though. Ugh, I used to get mine at costume stores around Halloween, and they were, um, no good. I would suggest investing in a lace-front. You can get really good ones for around $40 on Amazon. Bobbi Boss, and K'ryssma are good brands. It will change EVERYTHING, I promise. I would also suggest a pinker blush over what you're using. Try this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DL8QWCC/
It'll really go great with your skin. I use it and it's amazing. Let me know if any of this helps. Happy to talk more :)
Bonus album of my pics from when I did a lot of crossdressing (1-2 years ago).
Warning: Images are blurry and a few might be slightly suggestive. I'm just putting these out there to get a better gauge on how I pass/will pass if I start HRT.
Yep. I know that feeling. I think it's something we all have TBH. I think in some perverse way knowing you don't pass at all might be easier in this respect, but I really wouldn't know. Besides, 22 isn't that late. I didn't start until 39. Objectively no one ever clocks me, but those thoughts still come up not infrequently.
What I've found helpful is to realise that yes, these thoughts are going to come up and you just have to kinda accept that. Acknowledge the thought, and move on. Fighting it doesn't actually help much. I found this book really helpful in that regard.
How do you get over your nerves about meeting people? You don't! You feel the fear and just do what you need to do. Fear can only hurt you if you let it. If you again acknowledge and get on with it then you'll find the fear gets better with time. If you avoid stuff because of fear, it just gets more scary.

Here is some useful information regarding the London Gender identity clinic. Also applicable to most UK places.

I got a decent wig from Amazon that's a fairly decent price right here. Buy filing them in I mean getting some a brow pencil, brow gel, or brow pomade to fill in the brows with color. This is what I'm talking about.
32 trans woman. I’ve had my brows done and have a pretty decent wig (I think). 6 months into laser and seeing slow but steady results. My makeup skills suck but I’m practicing (this is my third attempt). I just started a skin routine with Neutrogena Hydro Boost City... and CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser... but only one day in so obviously no results from that. I feel like I’ve gotten absolutely no face gains or skin gains at all and other than some small breast gains I’m getting a little dejected in comparison to some people I see here now sooner on their journey.
I have redish hairs, black hairs, brown hairs, and now white hairs. Lol I use LA girl red and then I do LA girl green on top of the red usi g a blending sponge for both. Then I primer, concealer, foundation, etc for the look I am after. Here is a link from amazon for the product.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019G2X4ZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_1tOyFb4QRXM0Y
Thank you so much it matches my natural hair color and I my goal to get to. Amazon. Not sure how to take the smile link off. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B085Q6GB4K/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_NfESEbJRKYWTR
It's called "Voice Pitch Analyzer". I got it through the google play store but I think apple has a version also.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.lilithwittmann.voicepitchanalyzer&hl=en_US
Nice! Don't forget about /r/transvoice on here. Also, I've had some help for myself come from toying with this app. It makes it easier to see where your pitch range is. Keep in mind though, it doesn't take resonance into account.
Finding NYX Undereye cover works wonders for beard shadow. And yes that shirt isn't the best. Nor does the color of lipstick fit your skin color. I recommend bright pinks on your skin tone, bright/deep reds are to much contrast on your very pale/pink skin.
I'm pre-HRT and am going out as much as possible as Ashley. Do you have friends you can go out with as yourself? I've been starting to make new ones from going to events on meetup.com, I think having friends you can go out with as yourself is one of the most important things, not just for helping you as you transition, but as a human being you should have at least a small group of friends you can go do things as yourself. I currently did not have any friends and so decided why start out making new friends not as myself and so all meetups with new people I'm dressed as Ashley and they only know me by Ashley. Sure my voice doesn't pass, I have thinning hair on my crown and even hiding my beard shadow and shaving close gives me little bumps that give that rough skin appearance. Some new people I get gendered he, but I make it pretty obvious with my makeup and small silicone breast enhancers (those sticky silicone bras for strapless dresses) that I'm portraying best as I can being female. Many have automatically gendered me she and I'm getting the confidence now that I will be correcting these new friends to gender me she.
So go out and be social if you don't have current friends you can tell them your trans, then go find new ones. As humans we are social beings, going it alone is much harder then going with it as yourself with friends.
I started using the Windsor Caffeine Eye Cream, available for just $9.99 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Cream-Dark-Circles-Puffiness-Wrinkle-Reducing/dp/B09NW5S4RM/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?keywords=Windsor+Caffeine+Eye+Cream&qid=1665297736&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjk4IiwicXNhIjoiMC45OSIsInFzcCI6IjAuOTgifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-1-spons&p...). Then I graduated up to the CityGoo cream (https://www.amazon.com/Caffeine-Cream-Aging-Collagen-Polypeptide/dp/B09WMFVJ89/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=BJHSU8V95B73&keywords=Windsor+Caffeine+Eye+Cream&qid=1665297486&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjk4IiwicXNhIjoiMC45OSIsInFzcCI6IjAuOTgifQ%3D%3D&sprefi...),
Here's a link to the cleansing conditioner. I prefer the rosemary mint type but vanilla mint is nice as well.
This product works to stretch the time between wash days, which helps keep your hair from drying out. Some people skip shampoo completely and only use this, but I just use it between washes.
You massage it into your scalp as you would shampoo and then condition afterwards as usual. As with shampoo, you don't need to specifically lather the ends of your hair as it's the driest part of the follicle and the oil comes from the scalp
I use this to tint my brows, and would recommend that for you too, or letting your hair lighten up a bit. The brow dye lasts a few weeks though and they have a few different shades.
You pass to me. I’d probably guess you were 16-18 though.
I actually agree with you, although definitely against plucking. This is a really solid product to help:
XFusion Keratin Hair Fibers https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B007AKSGH2/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_R62V6CABMS3943P4PKC1
And they made a pump/spray top that attaches and makes distribution more even over the hairline.

Thank you ☺️
Yes! Hanes Men's Full-Zip Eco-Smart Hoodie
(It’s my first time doing a link so I hope it’s right!)
But even though it’s made for men a lot of women wear it! If you look in the reviews you can see at least two women wear it open something too add too their outfit!! I also find the coat to be very warm so just letting you know! And the coat is also pretty big!
And you definitely have a lot of potential!!
If you need anything else let me know!
This is a link to Moderna scar cream. It’s amazing. Mederma Advanced Scar Gel 1x Daily Reduces The Appearance Of Old New Scars #1 Doctor Pharmacist Recommended Brand for Scars 1.76oz, Clear, 50 grams https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SS9KJG3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_R45HKM7N4DAB5SVSDKBR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Now I can see where the cut was. My question was just out of interest as I understand FT cut across the top of the scalp as a matter of course. As an aside, my scalp was really tight after ffs and because I already had a scalp-tension relieving device, have been using it regularly ever since op. Of course, it's nigh impossible to say what run-on effect such a thing has, though I have definitely been able to get my scalp less tight again. Device pics & sourcing info can be seen here and an interesting study on it's effects can be read here.
The image is too dark for an accurate gender assessment. So I fixed it:
You've got some visible mustache shadow. Right away that really hurts passability. Any laser or electro in your past? Either way, you need more of one/both of them.
Also, those glasses seem quite masculine to me, so that's another blow at passability.
Facially, if I had to identify you I'd say some kind of queer guy, and it's really the two things I mentioned that are doing it.
It doesn't appear that you are wearing any makeup, which could really help you. It doesn't have to be girly girl, but just some foundation would really help you cover the mustache shadow and help you pass.
I can’t use bait because it gives me a rash lol my routine is 1.exfoliate with salicylic acid body scrub, 2.shave with Shea/coca butter body wash, 3.lotion with aloe. I also started using this roll on after shave for your legs and it’s AMAZING. here
Go smaller than you think you need. Breast forms are additive. Even if your pectoral muscles are small, breast forms sit on top of them, and what's advertised as a C-cup might not account for that. If you're happy with padded inserts for a bra, you can also buy multiple thinner ones and then use more than one if you feel a need to.
I also recommend some padding for your hips and thighs. You won't need it for every outfit, but for something like skinny jeans having this underneath will help with shape.
The top is from this 2-piece
I can’t find the swim skirt though. I know I got it from Amazon too though.
You look young and have a not-too masculine face. Overall round shape, small chin, no prominent brow ridge from that angle. From the beard shadow on the upper lip but not on the rest, it looks like you won't have too bad a time with facial hair. The nose reminds me of Jadwiga from Civ VI.
Getting it shaped rather than cut-cut will help a lot. You won't lose much if any length -- it generally means just adding layers and shape and trimming any scraggly areas. You may feel less impatient if you like how it looks now while it grows rather than how it will look in a year once it's long.
You want something that will grow out well, otherwise I'd suggest a wedge cut. I love Megan Draper's hair on Mad Men and think it would work well for you: Image 1 Image 2 You will need to style it a little each morning however -- your hairstylist will be able to tell you what to do. Do you know how to backcomb hair? That will give you some volume which will be feminizing.

Thank you so much!! Youre very kind ☺ 💛 i got the frames (here)[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F54Q1FB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_ABGEEB1H5SPK4XQ2MHCF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1] from Amazon (they come in a couple different flavors if my color scheme isnt your speed). I have yet to get them fitted with my prescription so im rather blind in them at the moment but i hope to find to time to get them over to my eye doctor next week!
Nomolen Sports Bra for Women... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PCYJMJM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Silicone Bra Inserts, Gel Breast... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083HF2T9C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This combo might help. The sports bra has pockets for padded inserts (not just this one but other sports bras do also); you can m put the silicone inserts in the pockets to keep them from popping out while exercising or just going about your day
Agreed with all but the nails... Not everyone can get away with wearing polish....I get by that by using press ons... Brand kiss impress have been by far the best. Press them on, leave in as long as you want.. peel them off.
Here an example Kiss ImPress Ombre Peach Press-On... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093CM33N7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Actually it's just a $10 ring (using Amazon prime)!! I definitely recommend getting it (of course I would also advise using clear nail polish to coat the sides to be safe that the black color wouldn't smudge. As a lot of cheap rings do that.). I am just absolutely in love with my little ring.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ISL8PEK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AJEZV3OI3M7YF&psc=1
Sure it's very cheap too! Only $10 (with Amazon prime):
I suggest to also put a coat of clear nail polish on all sides (but the gem) to prevent the possibility of the black color coming off

What about something like this? Hair removal thingy on amazon

I'm transfem myself. Personally I find one piece swimsuits very flattering. Some designs visually can also give the illusion of amplified feminine curves.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797SQ3BY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_TVDWNEF57KDC9MBERZ8Q
Usually a lighter middle color and darker sides, or a skirt bottom. For your weight and age I think you are doing fine in terms of body shape. Don't worry too much. :)
These shirts really add to a boxy frame, even the curviest lady looks flat in a polo. If you insist on wearing t-shirts, that’s totally fine and doable but try more feminine styles.
Look for lower necklines like v-necks or boat necks. I’d skip collared shirts altogether and definitely don’t tuck it in. Consider feminine features like flowy fabrics or a tie front.
If you’re looking for something more offbeat to suit your style, that’s totally possible while still finding things with a very feminine twist that helps push you over the edge towards passing.
I use the XSoul. The packaging came with mistranslated English but it works perfectly!
Also, my doctor just upped me to 2 mg estradiol but I've been on a constant 100 mg spironolactone.
I follow a wig subreddit and that helped me find good ones. I reccomend a lace front. There are also youtube channels that can help. here is the most recent one I bought
these ive heard great things about I'm not trans, but I know alot about wigs and cheap but realistic hair extensions. I'd be happy to help if you end up having questions.
Tip for estradiol patches! you look like you’re set, but for the other girls and others on hrt who use estrogen patches, here’s how you prevent horrible itchy skin:
Wash your hands and dry well.
CLEAN THE AREA first with isopropyl alcohol or some other antibacterial agent. The place that works best for me is my abdomen, sort of like you have here. I have two patches though, so I stack one on top of the other.
Wait for that to dry.
Carefully place the patch(es) on your belly like you would a screen protector.
Now, place Tegaderm or another generic plastic film wound dressing this is what i use. It’s a little pricey, but it’s much cheaper than real Tegaderm. .
After you take an old patch off, clean the area with soap and water and put Aquaphor or another ointment on top. Spread it thin.
Also, would something like this help?

Thanks for the honest feedback. Do you just think the fabric in the front is what's clocking me? That top is usually tied around the back, so I can fix that pretty easily. You suggested a one piece, but those are usually just as revealing above the top. Is it because you think my midriff is clocking me? My waist is smaller than my bust and hips, so I didn't think it would be a problem. Do you think I'd pass in the same outfit just with the top tied in the back?
You're pretty and close. Style is a nice edgy look with feminine hair, I think you just need a few soft touches to the look.
Neaten and shape your eyebrows, that is key. Maybe pair of dangling earrings, you have a beautiful neckline! Perhaps a soft scoop neck sweater instead of spaghetti straps?
I'm a cis female with broad shoulders, wide face, big forehead, and nearly no eyebrows. Found balance with brow gel, and dolman, raglan, and batwing sleeves.

heres a favorite of mine. Just has some wintergreen oil that causes blood to rush to the area. Note: DEF do a patch test on this stuff, its intense and some people don’t have great reactions. It sting/tingles a little, so be ready for that. Great color tho
Here is the link to the eyebrow razors! I use them every week and they still cut pretty much perfectly since I bought them last August. You can consider getting a pack of 6, they just may last you two years haha.
Here's the shirt! I hope $23.94 is cheap enough!
Probably not. Ya girl rocking 32DD now :3.

For what it's worth I have higher-quality makeup, a better wig, and a waist cincher coming in the mail soon.
Depends! Since your foundation sits kind of heavy and dry, I'd say go with a water-based primer to try and get a bit of hydration. On the cheap side, tons of girls over at /r/makeupaddiction really dig Nivea for Men After-Shave Balm. It happens to work really well as a primer, if you don't mind smelling like dude for a little while. Pricier options include Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Primer. Those are usually my go-tos when my skin is dry, otherwise I use Benefit Porefessional.
On a related note, are you using a moisturizer before applying foundation? You absolutely should be if you're not already. Just give it 5-10m to sink in before starting makeup. Skincare in general (see: /r/skincareaddiction) can go a long way towards making your makeup look great.
Last tip would be to try blending your foundation out with a slightly damp sponge (Beauty Blender, RT Sponge, etc) instead of a brush. Can help give your foundation a more 'dewy' look.
Looks good for like 2-3 months then time to get a new one. It's so cheap I don't care. Even if my real hair takes 6 months to grow in .. that's still only $32.
I also used my friends referral code to save $5.

Oh O_O. Thank you. When it comes to styling I really don't know what I'm doing, but if it's any help my hair didn't look healthy until I started using this.
Amazon. It's a huge selection. I swear that one of the best parts of transitioning will be wearing leggings all the freaking time. Sooo comfortable.
well my highschool is very like open to it so no one cares. they treat me like a normal girl and http://www.amazon.com/NuBra-Feather-Lite-Super-Adhesive-F700/dp/B003JLKY8U. it pushes all your fat in ur upper body to make cleavage. hahaa not comfy!!
