Transgender people have special makeup needs. Unlike many people, I have found that theatrical makeup stores have many of the products we need - as long as we think creatively. Once we have an idea of what needs to be done to our faces to make them look reasonably feminine, theatrical makeup houses such as Alcone often have the best products for our needs.
Due to a minor glitch on their website, my favorite store for makeup accidentally sold me a product from Ben Nye that was discontinued. Since I use theatrical makeup for beard coverage and for jaw line contouring, this could have been a disaster for me. In my response, I asked if they could recommend a similar product to Ben Nye Creme Shadow Natural contour compact, they promptly made several suggestions. Mehron Cream color -Med Dark 4 came closest to what I needed, and I asked them to ship me a container to try out. Hopefully, I'll be able to recommend this product to my TG readers. I already recommend Alcone for specialty makeup, and will continue to do so in the future.
Don't be afraid to order from these businesses. They were hurt during the worst of the pandemic, and they appreciate any and all business they get. Almost all of them take internet orders, as many supply remote movie production, regional theaters and television stations across the country. Although I highly recommend Alcone, I am biased - I have bought products at their NYC store when I worked in NYC. Now, all my business is conducted through the internet - and they still meet my needs. I expect that they can meet your needs as well.
