This was our first test on me for Female-To-Male make-up for my Ellis cosplay.
I don't have the most ideal face to FTM transformation, unfortunately, but we made the best of it. This isn't the final makeup style we're going for either, but just our initial test run. I thought it was interesting enough to share.
Pics and most of the makeup was done by `tealpirate
--EDIT--
After having a few of the same questions/comments given, I'm gonna add this here...
- I'm not wearing eyeliner in the lower picture, believe it or not. In the top one, I'm wearing liner on my top lid only, which was removed before we did the second set of pictures. My eyelash line is very thick, so I tend to look like I'm always wearing eyeliner. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a way around this without using post-editing.
- There is more stubble than there appears to be in this picture. My guess is that the lighting kind of... erased some of it. It's there, though! On that note, the stubble was done using Snazzaroo facepaint and a fine stipple sponge.
- THE CUTS AND DIRT ARE INTENTIONAL. Yes, not all men have them... but this one does. The character Ellis, which this makeup was done for, is a survivor stuck in a zombie apocalypse. The grime and damage are part of his appearance.
- My eyes are such a giveaway D8 We did have light greyish contacts which REALLY made a difference, but one of them kept reacting badly whenever I put it in, so we chose not to use them
One thing I've found that helps with toning down your eyelashes is getting an old mascara brush (or cleaning the one you have now) and dipping it in foundation! It applies well to the lash lines and makes them visibly smaller~ I know from personal experience how difficult it is to get rid of thick lashes.
Did you use any make up on your cheeks? In the top one your face seems more rounder while in the bottom ones your face seems more at an angle. I don't know if it's just my imagination or if yall did.
