Practicing for my college's drag ball has made me realize that I really enjoy looking like a man. Before, I always just thought that I liked feeling manly, but now I feel like I would love to be able to wear stubble, suits, ties, dress pants, or even casual men's clothing. The problem is I also love to wear dresses, makeup, and otherwise look very feminine. I would like to be able to be manly one day and female the next (I am a cisgendered woman). Can anyone offer advice on making realistic stubble or fake beards, as well as on dressing manly? The youtube videos I looked up had fairly good stubble, but nothing I would be able to go out in daylight with all day and have it look realistic. Also, how do any FtM or similarly crossdressing people deal with long hair? I really don't want to cut my hair, especially since on days where I feel feminine I like to curl it and put bows/ornaments in it. :icon_sad:
I've done a bit of beards for theatre, and I always used a few different shades of brown (with brown hair). What I've done wouldn't be realistic enough, but from it I would just suggest using a few shades of color similar to eyebrow/hair color. Also, if you haven't already found this, a stipple sponge works well (at least for theatre facial hair). Not really sure what to suggest for the rest.
