Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

Most of us that wear make up have something we can't go without. Whether it's a trusted eyeliner brand, blusher, lippy or other we're often totally committed to it. What's yours?

Mascara. I personally think my eyes are my best feature. I’m fair so I sometimes pair it with a taupe liner, but I live in casual California so I rarely wear a full face of makeup. Next to be added if anything is eyeshadow.

Also mascara! I think it makes the biggest difference 🤩

Second for me would be concealer.

I've never used taupe! What's the best way to wear it?

I use a pencil because I can’t be bothered with liquid. It’s actually kind of a purple-y taupe because I’m cool toned and wear purples pretty well. I think it might be Urban Decay.

Anyway on me it looks very natural so I can’t speak to how it might work for someone else. Browns look pretty weird on me because they’re usually a lot warmer than my skin tone, and my fair hair is on the brassier side of dirty blonde.

The annabel kohl taupe liner has been my HG taupe for a decade.

If I wear liquid liner, I wear the NYX ash brown eyebrow pen. It's a taupe-y brown and really translucent (since it's meant for eyebrows) so it's not a harsh/dark line.
