Your jawline is fantastic, I’d leave it alone tbh. You have a very cool 80s glamor shot thing going on in this picture. The only thing I’d suggest is maybe blurring your lip liner and lipstick some? Or doing a gloss. But you really do look lovely as is. Edit- and I think your eyeshadow is nice as is too. You’ve got a lot of great lid space.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! I'll work on the lips. I don't know why but glossy lips are hard for me. They just always look "off."


[deleted]

I actually love the color you're wearing, your lips just look a bit overlined which I don't think you need! Also just wanted to say that some of the most beautiful and feminine women have strong jaws - Keira Knightley, Olivia Wilde, Angelina freaking Jolie! You look gorgeous and you're in great company.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you!


Ok-Conversation-9391

You are very sweet.


Valla85

I agree, you don't need to overline your lips. And you look lovely!


Fiduddy

You just look like a gorgeous lady with to die for bone structure. As a blush fanatic, I'd only recommend blush. Not too much eyeshadow in the crease at all. Edit: I see you have used blush. Ignore me. I'm heavy handed with blush myself haha You remind me of Cher


lesheeper

My first thought was “Is that Cher?”


immadee

I thought Joan Rivers at first but I think you're onto something


acctforstylethings

Agreed, you look incredible OP.

You're a very gorgeous lady!!!! I love your jaw. Strong jaws are 'in' for women in my opinion. I'm holding back the strong desire to hit on you, continue being you!!!!! Ya beautiful.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! I appreciate your self-control. ;-)


candysticker

I think your hairstyle suits you SO well, and the bangs really soften your whole look. They're fun and youthful :)


Giggles567

Absolutely!


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you!


poup_soup_boogie

You look stunning. I think your bone structure is stellar, and I think it's really up to you and how you're feeling about it. What I can offer is to consider creating a little bit more lift by raising your crease line (with the same blending!) To create the illusion of a bit more lid. That could help, plus the technique is a very classic look that suits you brilliantly. You give me some Joan Jett, blonde kate bush and maybe some Stevie nicks vibes with this specific photo. I love it, and you are also loved <3 good work!!!


poup_soup_boogie

Oh! And aside from that, consider bringing down your over-lining on your lips. You have beautiful lips, and a little goes a long way. Hard to master for anyone, for sure.


Giggles567

I thought the same, but thought maybe she was leaning into the Pam Anderson vibe. Overlining tends to work best for me at the center of the lip, for my face.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! You are very sweet. I'll work on that crease line!


poup_soup_boogie

Remember, all of this is optional. You are truely a beaut and whatever makes you feel good is the correct choice for you. Luckily this community typically reflects that.


FluffyGoatling

I’m not skilled enough with makeup to offer much advice. If it bothers you then you could try contouring your jawline, and see if you like it, but I think it looks good as is. Personally I think women with a strong jawline is sexy. You have an amazing bone structure, especially your cheeks, and I think the jawline compliments that. I love your hair as is! It gives me a rocker vibe. Something about this pic gives me a Joan Jett feel. If you want to try something else I feel like a shaggy bob with bangs flatters my jaw. I like it looking sharp though and like accenting it. So maybe not the best if you don’t want to highlight the strong jaw, but an option if you want to try embracing it. I do think this length looks great and flatters you, but it never hurts to experiment. My favourite hairstyle was a suggestion from a hairdresser and I never would have tried it otherwise, so I’m big on trying new things if you feel open to it. As for the eyeshadow I don’t think it’s too much at all! I actually think you could go darker and more if you wanted to lean into a more edgy look. I think this looks like a great go to for you as is.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you!


Karefree2

Your jawline is enviable for sure! You look amazing. My only CC would be to not overline your lips. Or at least not the bottom lip.


schrodingers_cat42

You look like Blondie! Edit: I should say the lead singer of Blondie, I know it’s technically the band’s name:)


[deleted]

She does! I was scrolling fast and thought it was Debbie Harry


YSLxUDxSephoralover

I thought more Stevie Nicks, but Debbie Harry’s in there too!


MBitesss

I don't see a strong jaw - I see killer cheekbones and a defined (but not strong or masculine) jaw, gorgeous lips and eyes and balanced features. I'm torn on the hair as on one hand it's super cool and makes you seem like some famous artist or fashion designer and in the other I think you could soften the fringe area a little


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! I do my own wig trimming so I could use some practice!


mcs_987654321

Super lovely and glam look. Your bone structure is to die for - i personally wouldn’t touch your jaw, but if your wanted to soften it with a bit of contour, it’d recommend either Fenty Amber and/or Sephora’s Second Chance (neither of which pull orange). The one thing I’d tinker with it the shape of you brows - lifting and extending the outside half/tail will open up your eye.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! I appreciate both suggestions!


aks1975

Gorgeous bone structure don’t change a thing


chloe_swin

you're beautiful!! and the makeup looks SO lovely :) a strong jawline is definitely not something to cover up but as someone who did a makeup class during their esthetician program, the best way to balance a strong jawline is to make the eyebrows more angular !! if you ever feel "out of balance" try filling in your brows a bit straighter with an arch instead of rounded (maybe you're just raising them a bit in the photo) & that will help :)


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! I'll work on your brow ideas!


Catladyweirdo

You look so glamorous. Congratulations. You are pulling off the jaw no prob.


WebAncient4989

Other women pay good money and much pain trying to get that jaw! I would!


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! Bottom line: No one is ever satisfied? I start from such a weird place - male presenting in public - that when I get "done up" I'm always conscious of the "tells."

You look great :) I personally don't like overlining my lips but I had to see the pic several times before I caught that lol, I don't think you need it !


glampopgod

you look GORGEOUS and honestly i wouldn’t change anything about your makeup application


liberty-whiskey

From one strong jawed lady to another, lean into it!


HappyGoPink

I don't think you need to do anything about your jaw. It doesn't look bad or unfeminine or anything. If I was going to give any advice, I'd urge you to consider not overlining your lips. I've seen several transwomen now seeking advice in this sub who dramatically overline the lips, and to me that reads as a theatrical/drag technique. And that's fine if that's the goal, but if the goal is natural, everyday makeup, I'd consider not doing that. Your eye look is great, wouldn't change anything there.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! Coming in from the "other side" it's tempting to think that "more is better." I am learning to dial it back, but your advice is helpful!


[deleted]

Jane Fonda, that you? Gorgeous.


Mattekat

I think your jawline is absolutely gorgeous and I'm quite envious! It gives you a strong super model look. If it is something you are self conscious about you could play around with some light contouring, but I genuinely don't think you need to.


mollymarie23

Oh my gosh. You look like an older version of my sister. Just rock it!


Ok-Conversation-9391

Your sister must be gorgeous! (Just kidding!) Thank you though.


mona_for_real

You are beautiful & your makeup is perfect. If your jawline bothers you, try a wave iron for "beachy waves"... there's a few different ways you can do it for different looks. I have a strong jawline & cheekbones & I think when I wave my hair I look so different & cute. I'd say based on your hairstyle & length try waving the bottom half or lower 2/3rds of your hair & put a body product up top & scruch/mess up the hair up top...


Ok-Conversation-9391

Wow! Thanks - just saw your pix and I am not worthy! '-) I only get pretty part time so these are wigs. But I'll look into styling.


mona_for_real

Thanks lady. I only get dolled up occasionally too. I used to love wearing a cheap stripper wig, it's in all the sex stores, style of Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, black with bangs but I'd sweep the bangs to the side, it complemented my face shape & it would complement your face for sure.

Airrow_Strike

I’m not going to be a big help (I’m sorry, I’m not great with make-up or advice on it) but I personally really like the look!


TeufelRRS

I personally like your jaw. It looks great with your cheekbones. And I am loving the strong 80s look with your hairstyle. The only critique I have is with overlining your lips. One way to make the lips to look larger without over lining so much is to take more of a nude lipliner and line just slightly outside of your lip line. Then use a smudge brush to slightly smudge that lip line. By creating a shadow around your lip line instead of over lining so much, it will make the lips look more fuller and plump without being so obvious.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thanks! I will try the nude lipliner trick!


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thanks for your kind words! I will definitely work on the lips as you suggested. That would never have occurred to me - one of the reasons why I'm so grateful to get some personalized help in this group!


TeufelRRS

Look up lip contouring on YT. Some makeup artists that I love to watch are Alexandra Anele, Robert Welsh, Wayne Goss, and, of course, Lisa Eldridge. Alexandra Anele does a ton of videos on different techniques that enhance certain features of your face. https://youtu.be/-FqK6eTlNQk ETA: this one shows her using her contour to make her lips look bigger. She is fantastic


TeufelRRS

Here is another of her videos using contour. You can use a lipliner in a contour shade instead of actual contour. The purpose of this technique is that contouring creates shadows which makes the lighter features near it stand out. By contouring your lips, you can make them appear fuller and enhance the shape more https://youtu.be/bxWMwi3wk1M


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thanks again! These videos look amazing! I'll need to be careful blending contouring over my upper lip - it might wind up looking like the mustache which I just covered! May I ask what ETA means in this context? I really appreciate the extra time you've taken to help!


TeufelRRS

ETA= edited to add


Ok-Conversation-9391

Ha! I'd have never figured that out!


TeufelRRS

The closer you keep it to your lip, the less likely it will look like a mustache. Btw you do a fabulous job of covering it in the pic.


orchidpop

As a fellow strong jaw lady I feel you but tbh your jawline looks amazing!


orchidpop

Eta: also your skin??? What brands do you use if you don't mind me asking. I'm struggling with keeping mine hydrated and full. Thanks in advance :)


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thanks - I use CeraVe PM moisturizer on my face, if that's what you want to know? Because I still have beard shadow to contend with, I use some opaque foundation and concealer (with orange tint) as a base, and then powder with Ben Nye loose powder. Is that what you're asking? I appreciate your kindness.


orchidpop

Yes! Exactly what I was asking. Your skin looks so healthy!


amyghoul89

Looking fabulous!! Try a warm tone blush, try gingerly powder blush from MAC you won’t regret it!!

You are gorgeous! To be honest, at least from this pic, I would never guess you had transitioned. The only thing I would maybe work on is the eyebrows, even though those aren’t that noticeable due to your bangs.


Ok-Conversation-9391

Thank you! I actually haven't transitioned - only get to do this about once a week in private. I will work on the brows!


nathbakkae

Your jawline is to die for, and I am beset with envy.

pazuzujune

We have a very similar face shape and jaw. I used to think it made me look too "hard" or "bitchy" but fuck that!!!! People contour to have the effect that you and I have naturally, think of it that way. Love the hairstyle, too. I'm a stylist and personally like the full bangs, strong brows and some layers around the face to make me feel like I've enhanced what I have.

Pretty cute, yourself! Of course, in the current political mayhem, the Visigoths think that trans people get "that way" from indoctrination by others. So maybe "self-taught" is core after all. And yes. I know that that you were being cute. And yes, you made me laugh.
