Rose’s journey, which I am sharing today on Transbeauté, is an open window (without catching a cold) onto the complex nuances of cross-dressing and also the search for identity for some.
In the world of makeup, where every face tells a story, Rose’s is marked by a poignant duality.
On one hand, there is the liberation and well-being she feels expressing herself through cross-dressing, a moment of relaxation and excitement where she can be fully herself.
On the other hand, a web of worries and doubts is woven: the fear of being discovered, questioning the normality of her desires, and that temptation to give it all up to conform to society’s expectations.
As a professional makeup artist specializing in supporting transgender and cross-dressing individuals, I witness the sometimes intense, even anxiety-inducing, internal conflicts my clients experience.
Rose expresses a feeling shared by so many others: the desire to express her true identity while fearing the consequences of that expression in a world that doesn’t always understand her.
She also speaks of the deep need to share and connect with others who understand her experience, highlighting the importance of a supportive community.
Through makeup, I offer a space, a place, where Rose, and others like her, can explore these feelings safely, even a temporal space where they can see themselves as they truly feel, without fear or judgment.
It is a process that goes beyond aesthetic transformation; it is a self-exploration, an act of courage, and a step toward self-acceptance.
We’ll talk about it again in the conclusion!
Hello,…
I’m 32 years old. I am a single man with no children. And an occasional cross-dresser. I am an engineer in the Paris region. I’m sorry, I prefer not to disclose my first name for fear of being recognized. So, I am… Rose!
I would say during adolescence. I occasionally secretly borrowed my mother’s underwear. Later, during my studies, the desire faded. Then, since entering the workforce, I started thinking about it again, fantasizing about cross-dressing.
It remained only at the fantasy stage for several years. Until the day I bought my first women’s clothes online a few years ago.
What I felt at that moment was a strong excitement and immense pleasure.
Momentary. Meaning I don’t want to be a woman every day. I like to cross-dress occasionally.
A few years ago, I even threw away all my women’s clothes because I felt guilty and thought I wanted to move on. But a few years later, that fantasy came back. For the past year, I started buying clothes again and resumed cross-dressing occasionally. I have to admit that in recent months, my desire to be a woman has become more frequent. We’ll see if this desire fades over time.
But I hope to be strong the next time I want to give up to avoid throwing away my things.
Why this desire, I honestly don’t know how to explain it. I ask myself the question too. Sometimes I think it’s not “normal” and that I should stop everything.
But well, I try not to overthink it and see it as a hobby I enjoy. So, when I want to, I do it. And I live well like that. What I am sure of is that I like dressing as a woman and I like feeling like a woman. It relaxes me. It’s exciting too. And I have a feeling of well-being.
Yes, quite a lot. No one knows that I cross-dress. And that suits me just fine. I have a terrible fear of being discovered by those around me. I want it to remain my secret. Even though I would like to have a few female friends outside my current circle with whom I could share my secret.
So far I have never dared to go out as a woman. I am very afraid of other people’s opinion. I still try to overcome this fear by going out a few times as a man but wearing rather androgynous women’s clothes. I get very stressed each time, but it has always gone well. I even arrived at Jennifer’s wearing a very androgynous outfit. I came by car; I wouldn’t have worn the same outfit if I had come by train.
Until now, I was content to cross-dress only with clothes. Now I intend to apply Jennifer’s advice that I received through the makeup course. I will try to do my makeup as often as possible to perfect myself whenever I have free time.
I will try to take better care of my body as well. Get regular hair removal. Have a body care routine to have smooth skin like women.
Another thing I would love to do is go out as a woman. For now, I am too afraid to do it alone. So I think I will contact you, Jennifer, when I am ready.
Oh, and I should take up sports too. To lose my little belly and have a nice backside. But I’m not sure I’ll manage it because I’m absolutely not athletic, hahaha.
I was afraid to start makeup and didn’t know how to begin. You explained the different steps and guided me throughout the course. It will help me be more feminine when I cross-dress.
I also wanted to know which clothes suit me in my wardrobe. When you complimented my choice of clothes saying they were beautiful, I felt happy and reassured.
And the photo shoot, I loved it. I really felt like a woman during that moment. Thanks again Jennifer.
When I got home, I couldn’t stop looking at all the photos you took. They are gorgeous!
Rose’s story is a mirror of the contrasting emotions many of my clients express to me.
Her story reminds us that the path to self-acceptance, especially in the context of cross-dressing and transgender identity, is often paved with doubts, fears, but also moments of joy and liberation.
Through Transbeauté, I strive to create a haven where these feelings can be explored and embraced safely.
Rose, through her testimony, reveals a deep reality: the need to be heard, understood, and to express one’s identity freely without fear of judgment or repercussions.
As a professional makeup artist, I find that my role often extends, almost inevitably ;-), beyond the simple application of cosmetic products.
Naturally, this leads me to share support, offer attentive and emotional listening, and become a point of reference in the sometimes (often) complex and deeply personal journey of each of you.
I notice a growing trend where many clients share their stories without wanting to appear on the blog, and I understand that.
My blog will evolve and I am moving toward a new phase of the Transbeauté blog.
I will continue posting testimonials, with or without photos, although they will be less frequent.
My focus will shift more to sharing advice and providing support, enriched by my growing experience with cross-dressing and transgender individuals.
At Transbeauté, we will always celebrate each step of this journey toward “your femininity,” offering not only technical makeup skills but also an empathetic understanding of your struggles and triumphs.
I am here to support people like Rose, like you who are reading me, at every step in their quest to align their outer appearance with their inner truth, and to help them find peace and joy in their own skin.
