Hi! Im a transgirl who's very much at the start of her physical transition, and I wanted to ask if people here have some tips for facial makeup, specifically to cover beard and beard shadow. I would love to find maybe one product that just gets the job done as I don't really want to start having an elaborate makeup routine. Is there such a thing?

As mentioned by others, an orange-peach color corrector will cancel out most blues and greens coming through due to hair follicles. It's gonna make your skin look very orange, but then you'll cover that with a foundation close to your skin tone. Then take a blending brush and blend blend blend, working back and forth, even circling in some spots to evenly distribute. Start with small applications or it won't look natural. I currently use LA Girl HD Pro Conceal (orange corrector), where my foundation is L'Oreal True Match (W2).

For makeup application, I highly recommend looking at Alexandra Anele on YouTube. Her videos aren't exactly aimed at trans women, but I find her skill and technique very straightforward and classy and not too over the top. She also has a very sweet personality and is fun to watch, especially since she explains what she's doing and what she's using. I recommend her because I think all trans girls should look this good, not the whole alt/goth/prostitute "I missed my second puberty" slap dash.
