My Basic Routine For Cross-play
Female to Male Cross-play
Face Diagram
Using make-up, you can make your face look as though it is affected by testosterone. Personally, I used eye shadow to do my contours and highlights because it easily fits in my bag and has multiple uses. I got this photo from the 2017 Hudson Public Library Anime Convention in order to show the pattern that is used. There are many Youtube videos that show this process and explain the purpose behind each highlight and contour.
Safe Binders
Using things such as Ace bandages as a chest binder can seriously hurt you, so please be safe and use an actual binder. There are many different brands to choose from, so I would highly suggest watching Youtube reviews of the binders you are considering. Here are 2 of the most popular brands:

Pro tip: If you are low on cash, follow your favorite brand on social media and wait for special deals and holiday promotions
Some guidelines:
1. Never bind for more than 8 hours and never sleep in a binder! This can cause pain, trouble breathing, and long term side affects.
2. If you feel uncomfortable, take it off. Feeling pain means that something is wrong. It might make you sad that you have to change, but your health is more important that the costume.
3. Take it off if you are going to exercise. Unlike a sports bra, a binder is suppost to inhibit the movement of your chest. If you start breathing hard, a binder will restrict your lungs. And the binder will be all sweaty, smelly, and hard to take off. So just don’t do it
The One I Use:
The Extreme MagiCotton Sports and Binding Bra, from Underworks. I chose this “binding bra” because I wasn’t quite sure if my parents would be okay with me wearing a binder. It would also allow me to do exercise while in costume. Binders aren’t exactly breathable, but this one is a bit less sweaty than some other ones. This one would be best for females with smaller chests and that live in hotter climates. This is also a good choice if you don’t plan to wear it a lot. I have heard that it stretches out more easily compared to others. I haven’t noticed that in mine, but its important to be aware of. Here is the link to this specific Binder: http://www.underworks.com/extreme-magicotton-sports-and-binding-bra
