Cross-dressing model introduction

This is the guy who will be modeling this time.

Mr. K is an ordinary young man who works part-time at an IT company.
Before going to the store, I asked him how he felt.
"My heart is pounding and everything is going dark in front of my eyes'
It said.

Don't worry! The staff will make sure you look cute, so don't be too nervous.

So, let's head to Milky!

Counseling before crossdressing

Counseling isn't weird
・Nickname you want to be called
・What kind of clothes do you usually wear?
・What outfit would you like to wear today?
What kind of image do you want to have as a girl?
Things like this are written, so I think the counseling will go more smoothly if you decide on a general idea in advance.

Choosing an outfit

First, choose your outfit before applying makeup.
Milky has over 300 costumes available!
As long as you are not wearing an outfit that drags on the floor, such as a wedding dress, you can go for a walk after your makeup is done.
There is a wide variety of costumes available, including anime, maid, idol, Chinese, and kimono.

▲There are over 300 costumes!

What style will Mr. K go for this time?
There are so many of them that just choosing the costumes is a big job.
We will gradually narrow down the candidates from the many costumes available.

After thinking about it for about an hour with a huge selection of costumes, here is the one she chose!

Maid outfit!!
I realized later that the skirt was surprisingly short, reaching just above the knees.
Since I hadn't shaved my leg hair, knee-high socks were also standard equipment this time.
Oh, and this is a secret, but I've also been planning on wearing some innerwear, or underwear, or a bra.

Makeup begins with the crossdressing salon manager!

Once you have decided on your outfit and have a clear image of the type of girl you want to be, it's time to start putting on makeup.
The person in charge of my makeup this time is none other than the salon manager!
We are looking forward to seeing him use his powerful skills, which have transformed many boys into women, at Milky's request.

Facial lines

First, use tape to pull the skin on your chin and forehead in place.

By doing this, you can eliminate excess sagging from your entire face and make your facial lines look beautiful.
Also, since I will be using a wig this time, I will put on a special net first before applying makeup.

Creating skin tone for the entire face

Next, prepare your face for makeup application.
Use primer, foundation, concealer, etc. to perfectly set your skin tone.

According to Mr. K, who doesn't usually wear makeup:
"There's something on your face"
"Feeling like your skin can't breathe"
And that.
People who don't normally wear makeup probably feel that way.
At this stage, I am already beginning to develop a sense of respect for women around the world.

More definition around the eyes

Next comes the makeup around the eyes, which is no exaggeration to say determines more than half of a person's impression.
Wide, open eyes are the dream of many people, regardless of gender, and we can help you achieve those by using eyeshadow, eyeliner, curlers, and more.


Additionally, false eyelashes are attached.

With such intense focus, Mr. K's eyes were transformed into bright, wide eyes.

Choosing a wig is the key to cross-dressing

Once the makeup is done, you can choose a wig.
Since he was cross-dressing in an unusual way, I had him choose a sturdy colored wig this time.

pink!!
Why not take advantage of the opportunity to choose a hair color that you would probably never choose in your everyday life today?
So the one I chose was a long pink one.

Of course, we don't just put the wig on your head; we also thoroughly wash and style the hair.
Twin tails + braids, cute + cute, the ultimate combination is complete here.
Finally, the head dress is put on and the cross-dressing process is almost complete.

Cross-dressing, final touches

At this stage, 9% of the cross-dressing is complete, but there are final touches to complete the process.

Fix the flow of your bangs with spray.

Apply lipstick to make your lips look beautiful.

Apply nail polish all the way to your fingers.

Fashion starts from the feet, so choose your shoes to match your outfit.

Wear a pannier to make your skirt fluffier.

Now all the makeup and clothes are done.

Photoshoot held in store

Once your makeup and clothes have been applied, your photo will be taken inside the store.
This time I brought my camera with me, so I only used the built-in light.

So let's take a look at the before and after photos of Mr. K who has undergone a dramatic transformation!!

Before

After sales

This is way too much of a transformation.
It's quite different from what we're used to seeing, and it makes your brain go haywire for a moment.

The most important point of this time is "Pink hair + maid outfit" It is a classic color scheme, yet it expresses the beauty of a classic.

This time, everyone, including myself, the Milky staff and the accompanying photographer, said,可愛 い" came out of my mouth.
I'm glad to hear that he has opened a new door and shed some skin.

Going out for a walk in women's clothing

After my makeup was done, I went outside for a walk.
There are fewer streetlights in the Kanda Myojin area, so the amount of light is just right, making it perfect for taking photos.

I feel like this level of brightness creates a fantastical atmosphere and makes the image stand out.

Would you like to try the fascinating cross-dressing experience in Akihabara?

I was watching Mr. K undergo a dramatic transformation right in front of my eyes, and makeup is amazing.
Men in particular found it a strange sensation, as they don't normally wear makeup.

Apparently, some customers who come to Milky go to a con cafe with their makeup on.
・Dressing up as a woman
・Take photos
There are plenty of other ways to enjoy it.

Apparently users come from a wide range of age groups, so it seems that many men around the world have a strong desire to transform into women.
As I wrote at the beginning, a culture may be emerging in which people not only obtain a female body virtually, but also become beautiful girls in the real world.
