My first crossdressing services experience
Hi, so what are crossdressing services exactly?
Today, I would like to explain and share with you my very first experience of having a professional crossdressing services makeover and posing for crossdressing photos in a boutique to help you understand what exactly goes on.
At the time of writing this for you, I, as many of you may know, am still learning and practicing my dressing and my make-up skills being a hit or a miss (mostly a miss) when applying my cosmetics.
As part of my goals in “The step to crossdressing success” article posted, my next step or goal was to buy myself a handbag and to have a professional make over.
So, here we are. I found my new handbag online, a gorgeous pink number, nothing too expensive but I just loved it as soon as I seen it and swiftly had it coming my way through the post. Oh, online shopping is just too easy. 
Next up, my next step, getting a full makeover was not going to be so simple.
This is going to take some planning!
The planning
This part of the story is the part I really don’t like the most – the planning and not telling my wife.
You may or may not know that I am still firmly inside the closet when it comes to my crossdressing. Being very happily married but have not quite got around to sharing my crossdressing with my gorgeous wife as yet for various reasons.
I would have been unable to just disappear for a day without raising suspicion.
So, I had a couple of days holiday already booked off work and decided this could be the perfect chance to book my makeover.
I had already found a place, a little distance away from me, that offers a make-up and crossdressing service specifically for us crossdressing girls.
Their website looked quite good with all their services along with prices and times were very clear and simple to select. This looked ideal.
After a lot of umming & aaahing from me, I eventually went for it and booked my appointment online. I would only regret it if I missed this chance!
I went for a full daytime make up session and a 3-hour dressing session with a half hour clean up & change slot at the end. Done. OMG what HAVE I done?
I am feeling so nervous about this.
This is happening in just 3 days’ time.
Preparing for the crossdressing services
Having never been to something like this before, I was not sure what I was to take with me.
And who was I going to ask? 
Over the next few days, I went through all my dresses, shoes, wigs, basically everything there is in my collection and picked out what I wanted wear for the shoot. I can’t believe I am really doing this!
Before I know it, the day has arrived.
The car is packed with all my goodies, and everything is go. Off I head, at my usual leaving time for work, quite early in the morning and will be due to arrive at the boutique about 2 hours to early.
Driving there, this girl is feeling great and so excited about what is about to happen. Then every now & again, I get a little burst of butterflies in my belly. Whoosh! Wow, it feels like I’m going for a big job interview, not to get some lippy put on!
Before I know it, the boutique is within sight. I spy it down a side street as I drive past on the main road. There are 2 hours to kill, so I get myself a coffee and park up nearby in a Park in the city. I am feeling good, then I realise, I hope my wife doesn’t check her phone and see where the car is parked right now. Taking a risk there Mini!
I go for a walk to get some fresh air and enjoy the views of the city. It really is stunning.
Ok, 15 minutes to go before my appointment, I drive down the side street of the boutique and park up. Now my heart is racing! Let’s do this Mini.
Going In
The front door is locked so I ring the bell and within a few seconds I am face to face with the woman who will be first person to me dressed as Mini for real. No going back now sweet-cheeks.
“Hi, are you here for a wax or for dressing?” the lady asked. I will call her “Tess” for this article.
“Dressing”
“Great, you’re with me. Come this way” smiles Tess, straight away putting me at ease.
After bringing all my dresses & shoes in, the lovely Tess shows me all the dresses she has to offer, breast plates, wigs, the works. I let her know I would love to just dress in the clothes I brought with me. The time here was valuable to me and I wasn’t wanting to spend time looking at the different dresses on offer. I wanted dressing up time for Mini!
Tess offers me a drink and explains different ways of how to do things. Whether to get dressed first then apply make-up or apply the make-up in male mode then get dressed.
I opt to get in Mini mode first. I’m just wanting all the dress time I can get!
Tess leaves me to get dressed and I nervously pick out my first dress, stockings, heels and underwear.
I finish off the dressing with a gorgeous pair of silver heart earrings. 
I check myself off in the full-size mirror that has the light bulbs all around it and I then nervously open the door to Tess.
“Oh, what a gorgeous dress!” Tess shrieks with what seems genuine delight.
I am instantly at ease with this lovely woman. I’m going to love this, I can tell.
Make-Up Time
Tess let’s me select the tunes on her “Alexa” and gets to work prepping my face.
She explains to me what she is doing, but I am on such a high right now, I’m not taking any of it in.
But it does feel amazing!
No wonder all the girls love their pamper days.
Tess is so easy to chat to and we talk away about everything, mostly girly chat and I love it. She also spends time explaining what she is doing and is full of great tips on applying make-up.
When it came to the eye shadow Tess allows me to pick my colours to match my dress. I go for a gorgeous soft shade of pink.
We are only just starting and already I look better than anytime I ever do my own make-up.
The full day time make-up slot says it takes about an hour and a quarter and I am in the chair for about 2 hours before Tess is finished with me. I guess this girl has a face that needs a lot of work!
I check myself out. Wow, this girl is a miracle maker! I love the reflection looking back at me in the mirror.
The last piece of the puzzle to fit, is my hair.
I usually go for red or brunette but as it is mainly summer dresses brought with me, I opt for my long blonde wig.
Tess helps me put it on and shows me different ways of putting it up. Wow, this woman has all the tricks. I would never have known how to do what she done to my hair but I loved it.
I look in the mirror and instantly in girl mode, full on Mini mode!
My hands are in front of me in a praying position, giving little claps of joy! I think I’m going to cry!
Stop it Mini, don’t ruin your make up girl!
Dressing & Posing
Tess takes me through to another room that has all sorts of jewellery and lets me try on whatever I like.
I opt for a lovely necklace & find a bracelet that fits. 
Then for the next few hours Tess takes charge, allowing me to feel ever so girly, putting me in poses, explaining what looks work & what doesn’t look the best and she is always got my phone, continuously taking pics.
Every now and then she starts jumping up & down, clapping her hands in joy. So excited when she gets a great pic. She seriously loves doing this job.
We spend the next few hours, me posing and Tess guiding me through different poses. I go through 4 outfit changes bot not wanting to spend too much time changing, I keep the same shoes and stockings on throughout the session.
About three-quarters of the way through my booking, I can see my moustache growth coming through my make-up and Tess is straight in there redoing my make up no bother at all.
I can imagine if a girl were out clubbing or dancing, she would need quite a few trips to go and “powder her nose” throughout the night.
After a few more poses & pics, my time had come to an end. I was getting seriously warm too. I was finding this posing game is quite tough going for a girl.
After some big hugs with Tess, I went and got dressed back into my drab male mode clothing. Then layer by layer, wiping off my make-up, returning to my normal self. Tess gave me a check over, making sure no make-up was left on. Another big hug and more huge “thank you’s” to this lovely lady, Tess, I grab my clothing and promise I shall definitely be back for more make-up fun.
I can honestly say this was one my favourite & fun days I have had.
If you are not sure about going out there to experience your local crossdressing services and having your make-up done professionally, I can only wholly recommend going out and doing it. You will learn from it but most of all, I am sure will love it.
Love Mini x
