Things you'll need
These are the makeup items that I consider necessities: concealer,
foundation (I think a good creme foundation works best), powder, blush, lipstick, lip-liner, lip-gloss, mascara, eye
shadow, eyeliner. Some people need to use a beard cover and others like to use eyebrow color, it's a matter of personal preference.
Buy a good set of makeup brushes and throw away those foam applicators that came with your makeup. To achieve a professional look, you should use brushes.
Get a makeup mirror that has lights that you can switch to produce various lighting effects and a magnifying option, which is so handy when you are doing your eyes.
Males need more makeup than real females to look female, so get a big box for your makeup. Don't be shy about buying the biggest box you can find or afford. If the box is not full now, trust me, you will fill it eventually. A large tackle box can also work in a pinch.
If you want long painted nails then use fake nails. That way to can remove them while you're not en femme. Even though personally I don't need them. But you still should take care of your nails by keeping them manicured. You can either go to a decent nail saloon or do it yourself.
Buy one bottle of an nice perfume and use it when you dress like a woman so that you will have the scent of a woman, too. This is one of those things that less is better. Dab it on, don't bathe in it (if you ever got on an elevator with someone that wore too much, you'll know what I'm talking about.). You want to smell feminine, not like you spent the night in a whorehouse.
Clip-on earrings are a rare commodity and if you don't have pierced ears, you should collect clip-ons. Although you can also find magnetic earrings also, I prefer these over clip-ons.
To compliment most of your outfits, buy one gold-colored set of jewelry (earrings, necklace, bracelet) and one silver-colored.
Buy a woman's wallet and a woman's watch. Don't destroy your image by pulling a man's wallet out of your purse or checking the time on your man's watch.
If you need a wig then don't purchase a cheap one, they look like wigs, whereas expensive wigs look like real hair. This is one other thing I don't need as I let my natural hair grow out but not everyone is able to do that.
My skin is smoother, more supple, healthier-looking, and my makeup goes on easier and looks better since I began using a moisturizer. It has made a huge difference. Moisturize every day even during periods when you are not going out en femme.
ABOVE ALL, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and more PRACTICE on applying make-up.
