I have just started university in Australia and have started to get out a little more into the party scene at school.

I decided, with the encouragement of my friend, that I should wear eyeliner to this party.

The majority of people at this party I had never met before and it was my first time trying eyeliner. It felt amazing

The amount of compliments I received throughout the night made me feel amazing and I was called pretty multiple times which made me feel very giddy.

Even my straight, relatively conservative, friends were accepting and complimented me on it which was a massive relief.

I would love to hear stories from this community about your first experiences with makeup and how that continued.

I would also love to note that if you’re masculine presenting but have been wanting to try makeup for a while… go for it!! It was the most amazing experience of my life
