This tutorial on how to cover a 5 O’clock shadow was created for all of my wonderful mtf trans women out there and anyone else who is interested in hiding the shadow left behind from shaving. I’ve seen so many tutorials for this that teach very heavy drag-based techniques techniques with a ‘one size fits all’ approach to color correcting. In this particular video, I break down the right color correctors & products to use for every skin tone as well as how to apply them in a way that gives you a natural, undetectable result. I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know if you have any questions and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE! *Disclaimer: I am a cis female and am only sharing my expertise as a celebrity makeup artist. The two models in the video are a trans female who has been on HRT (thus the minimal shadow) and a cis male (to demo having a stronger shadow). Apologies on the lack of ethnic diversity…this video was tricky for me to get models for* ➡️ Need some product recs? These are my favs!
