Ten years of professional experience packed into a two-volume program
I've worked as an entertainer, model, and makeup artist for over a decade, and I've shared everything I've learned over the years in this video. I have also worked in high-stakes business settings, interacting with professionals and the public, and I show you how your makeup and skincare choices can be invaluable for your acceptance as female in daily situations.
I focus on common issues we face when starting out, with many examples of how masculine facial features can be minimized with strategic use of makeup.
Our most ambitious project so far is a major expansion of materials on makeup/skin care from tsroadmap.com.
A Becoming You consultation goes beyond simple makeup application. It offers the theory behind tricky cosmetics like contour and blush, illustrated with graphics and demonstrations of application.
Our new program takes you through the entire process, empowering you with the techniques you'll use for the rest of your female life.
Time-tested program
This is the most in-depth resource for women in transition looking for answers concerning appearance. A Becoming You consultation doesn't stop at cosmetics--included are sections with advice on the following:
Assessing and caring for your skin
Dealing with scalp hair loss and hairline issues
Managing hair removal, narrated by well-known hair-removal expert Andrea James
Clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories
Dealing with the emotions and social situations surrounding the process of transitioning
Lots of positive thoughts and encouragement along the way!
For TS women, by TS women
Most makeup instruction available in the TG community is designed for the women who "dress up" for kicks. That's cool, but we are focusing on being accepted as female in day-to-day life. This is designed for women like you, who wish to have a smooth transition into living full-time in mainstream society.
While the tone of this course is upbeat and fun, I know this isn't just fun and games for you. You're making a serious commitment to transition. You want to be accepted as female in work and social settings, not just at home in front of a mirror or in a dark bar on weekends.
We also know you are working to save every penny for transition expenses-- we've been there ourselves! Some sites out there are geared toward selling overpriced prepackaged makeup kits to part-timers with a lot of disposable income and no plans for a full transformation.We both know you need more than a cookie-cutter approach. Your unique needs can't be shoehorned into some "one-size-fits all" makeup collection. We're interested in showing you how to get the most out of ANY cosmetic you choose, and how to choose colors and types of coverage that meet your specific needs.
We know what you need to get started, because we've had time to sort out what's good and bad, the essentials and the unnecessary hype. This video will quickly pay for itself, saving you time and money so you can focus on what's really important-- your blossoming femininity.

What other women are saying Hi Calpernia! Your (and Andrea's) makeup DVD's are priceless. The real amazement is the amount of info you two were able to fit onto them. Again, thank you for the hard work you put into them. -- A. in California Heya Callie, Finally got around
to watching your makeup video last night. And it rocks, although calling
it a makeup video doesn't do it justice, as you cover quite a bit more. --R. in Washington |
