I love to put my hand up to my hair and feel the prickle of the close barber shave on the sides, and while I still love makeup I'm adjusting the way I do eyeliner to a more angled 'masc' look which I LOVE, and when I wear my binder I feel so good.

Yeah. My own partner is in kind of a similar space as you, I think (not on HRT cause of some medical stuff, but has made other transition steps), and they are still very much into the theatrical aspect of makeup, I would say.
