Kiss and Make Up !
I wear makeup most days, but that is at present more about controlling my dysphoria... I haven't yet had permanent hair removal / reduction on my beard area , so i have 'beard shadow' ...
On a typical 'work' or just general happening about the place or going to class day , I don't wear that much - concealer on my beard area , something on my brows and a bit of lipstick ...
concealer / foundation to cover up the beard shadow - i use two shades of concealer one too light for my skin tone and one too orange , the light one is to highlight and the too orange one is to colour correct the beard shadow ... roll on getting laser / electro and the necessity of doing this
brows - pencilled in because my natural brows are very pale so when trimmed short and shaped they almost disappear
lipstick - this is the vanity thing ... I've become 'known' for my lip colour and I also find it helps with feminising my overall look to have the high contrast and well shaped lip line i get with my typical choice of shade ...

Irony of course there is rather than my typical lipstick shade i put a lighter shade on today, did a selfie and put it on social media and get loads of likes for it
