Hey there I am an aspiring sissy but I have no idea what to do for make-up to fit me. I originally was looking for a woman who would like to dress me up like a doll and play with me but I figure that I shouldn't bore her with basic questions and I should learn some stuff myself. Is there any website that gives the best coloured make-up for skin and eye types? If anyone could help me I would be very much in your debt. Please and thank you:)

Sometimes......Google is our friend. You tube has tons of advice on simple things like this.
Your Skin Tone.
While choosing the right colors is important the application will determine the finished look.
Lots of tutorials in YouTube on that as well.

there are some great makeupping books out there -- go do some searching on amazon! ^_^ also check youtube for great how-to guides and such. you can get some A+ makeup instruction from some of the people on youtube.
if you'd like a great way to get a whole ton of eyeshadows for a decent price, google "120 palette" -- 120 eyeshadow colors for $20-$40, depending on where you get it; there are several sellers that have the same palette, they just put their own branding on it. i have one i use for shows because it is so small and travels easily, and has every color i could possibly need.

many of the colors will need a base/primer for maximum wear/color intensity, but the studio primer stick from eyeslipsface is GREAT, and cheap. i use it for performances which are high-activity and sometimes sweaty, and my eyeshadow won't budge. ^_^ check out other products from eyeslipsface -- really cheap and many of their products are actually good. their brushes are nice -- but order them from the site; the ones i've found in stores (i believe you can get e.l.f. in stores in Canada) aren't as good as the ones i've ordered. they have their standard line, a studio line, and a mineral line -- their mineral eyeshadows are good, but the sifter jars can be a little messy because the holes are a smidge too big. =p

ANYWAY, you don't have a good shot of just your face so it's hard to tell you anything specifically, but a lot of people with fair skin like you make the mistake of going TOO bold with color -- it comes off looking like clown paint. unless you're really trying to play it up that high, stick with softer colors, OR softer applications of bold colors.
oh and find a makeup guide that explains contouring! you can play up features you want, and blur out features you don't want to showcase, depending on how you use your foundations and eyeshadows. you can reshape your eyes, your nose, etc etc.

and as far as proper lipstick application goes, i don't wear a lot of lipstick really so ... i'd recommend youtube for that. again, i've seen many sissies make the mistake of going TOO far with lipliner and getting it up over the lips.

anyway, have fun and good luck! ^_^

All excellent advice so far; I have a bit more.

First is consider if you really need to wear foundation makeup. There is nothing worse than beard growth peeking through foundation, and it is so hard to cover. You are young, you should only need foundation at your age if you have uneven skin tones or something you need to correct. If you do decide to go with foundation, depending on how heavy your beard is, you may need to invest in new shaving equipment to make sure you are getting as close as you.

Males tend to have significantly heavier eyebrows than females. From your pic I can't anything about yours. Since I am assuming you don't want to pass in your everyday life, this is an issue, since if you pluck your eyebrows for your sissy face, it will look noticeably odd when you are in vanilla mode. This is another area where less is more. Do more research on eyebrows, then pluck or wax so that your eyebrows will pass whatever your mode. Unless they are very heavy you can accomplish this, just go slow.

I suggest you buy cheap eye shadow, blusher, mascara and lipstick. Use the cheap stuff to play with until you have the techniques down. The basics of coloring your lips, cheeks, and eyes should keep you busy for a while. Keep that "less is more" rule in your head, especially with such fair skin.

And yes, with the right makeup you can reshape some of your features, but that's for the more experienced makeup applicator.

Now, what are you going to do with your hair and nails??

Less is more. My advice would be to carefully observe women's makeup - especially when they are in situations where they are "made up". Go for a look that is age appropriate - light blue eyeshadow at 19 is one thing...at 40 it is entirely another!

I agree with the shaving advice. Get yourself one of those ladies razors for intimate parts - looks like a little bullet. Shave with a fresh blade, then finish hard to get areas with that razor.

Go light on the foundation and powder if you can. Again, a close shave is going to be your best friend as you will have to wear less foundation. Consider getting laser - do it early, do it before your beard turns gray.

I pluck my eyebrows and they look shaped - even when I am in boy-mode. I don't care. Up to you if you decide that you care or not what people might think.

I shaved off my entire side burn - my hair ends at about the beginning of the earlobe just 1/3rd down the ear. It looks more female and it's obvious. Again, I don't care.

My Lady shaves my neck to remove excess hair around the back of my head. Again, a very female look. Also, I have grown my hair out to about the middle of my shoulder blades. Ponytail at the base of the neck in boy-mode...and I can do anything with it a girl can when I am en'femme.

Not sure how passable you want to be...but hair on the arms is pretty important - or I should say the lack of significant hair on the arms. Again, I shave them completely, every day. Arm stubble shows.

As for nails...you can buy the Kiss nails at Walgreens or any pharmacy for about $5 for a set. I used the stick on nails for a time, but the glue lets go if you get your hands even a little wet and I was always working in the kitchen and helping, so they had to go. Now I either buy the sets with the nail glue and simply glue them on, or I have started to make my own sets from nail blanks that I buy at Sally Beauty. Cut, shape, polish...I do four sets at a time and put them on with superglue or nail glue. They are sturdy and I can do anything with them then. When I need to remove them, I simply use an orangewood stick and pry them up near the cuticle and they pop off pretty easily. They leave gunk on your nails - if you care, soften it with polish remover, and file it off.

I think there are some websites that are run by TVs and deal with a lot of all those problems, how to dress, how to wear makeup, etc.

Male skin is a bit different than female skin, so I think you might actually be better off asking other TVs.

I did my Husband up a few times... once when He had a fully grown beard... we had so much fun.

I found i needed much much more make-up than i would ever use on myself...
i used lots of foundation, plain black eye pencil, bright blue eye shadow and normal red lipstick and a wig... pretty standard, the results were really good.
