Do we need makeup to "pass" or at least turn you on?

[tym1982]

first time poster, i think you look like an attractive woman without make-up, and more trans with. like the second poster said it's a case by case. i havent seen many trans without to make a general consensus, or if i have i didnt know

Not for me,really don't like alot of makeup.

In general for me though, my opinion is that trans women as a rule in comparison to GGs need makeup more often than not, to turn me on, and look more feminine

i completely agree with the above assessment

What about "passing" for non-passable trans women? I mean, "passing" is such a important criteria for most men who want trans women, so... you know?

two things: either VERY few trannies pass without makeup or they still look incredibly beautiful and feminine (this doesn't mean they pass, they just look perfect without makeup)

hope that makes sense

I don't "need" a girl or transwoman to wear makeup to look cute, but I'm much more turned on by a girl with makeup that's done well.

If we've been naked and sweaty together before, then no, in the bedroom or around the apartment a transwomen IMO doesn't need makeup to be with me. You have to know your look and what your strengths are IMO, but I still have an aversion to heavy makeup all the time.

I prefer no makeup.

Sometimes makeup is used as a social convention and is appropriate for going out in the evening to dinner or something formal.

Makeup is sexy when it is used to enhance, not to disguise.

My two cents.

I think "passing" is a myth in that it's what men who are attracted (i.e. sexually turned on) to transgender women want.

Attractive transgender women have a certain "look" that is different from GG's...men like me who are attracted to transgender women look at them and know immediately they are transgender, and that is exactly what we find so sexy and attractive about them.

Think of any of the well known transgender women who are generally considered to be very attractive...Jane Marie, Domino, etc. A man who is attracted to transgender women look at them and know instinctively they are transgender. They are not "passing" for genetic women, they're beautiful transgender women.

It's this "look" that men like me find attractive..."passing" has nothing to do with it.

Same thing with the idea that men who are attracted to transgender woman want them to tuck. To prove my point, there's a thread here on the forum called "bulges and filled underwear" that's one of the most popular. Do you see a thread here called "tucked"? If there is, it's buried somewhere.
