A Few Fast Ideas

Some of TGF's prettiest readers have agreed to share with us their favorite style, beauty and "how-to" tips. This week features ideas from Lori Larkinwho has her own Pictorial

Let's face it, most of us just don't have a natural female shape.

All too often I see girls out and about with good makeup and a really cute outfit but with no hips. Seems we all find ways to enhance the bust but we need to pay just as much attention to our hips and derriere. Personally I much prefer using the "Hipslip" and "Fanny Panties" as they are far more comfortable than the hip pads plus they look much more natural. If you use the hip pads under form fitting clothing they often look lumpy and stick out like a sore thumb but if you put them under control top pantyhose or a body shaper they look much more natural.

A couple of little things about makeup and makeup removal. Unless you have a very light beard or have undergone electrology to have it removed you need to use some method to cover the beard and then adequate makeup to cover the beard cover. I have had many TG girls tell me that real girls don't wear that much makeup and they want to look more "natural". Well, I'm sorry but there is nothing natural about having a beard showing through your makeup.

One more thing, since we do need to wear a lot of makeup a neat little trick is to use disposable baby wipes to remove the first couple of layers before washing off the rest. A little trick I use for the hair on my arms is to use a beard trimmer to shorten and thin in out a bit. Then I bleach it and it looks fine for either gender. I keep my legs shaved year around and although I'm an avid golfer and wear shorts a lot in the summer no one has ever noticed but this trick also works well for the hair on your legs.
