I think as well assuring her that gender identity and sexuality arent the same thing also helped a bit, and I have her support even if she doesnt understand the reasons why.

you have been blessed, then. Too many of us transistioning don't get the acceptance of who we need to be. Some are even disowned.

Very much so, its something you cant put a value on, and dissappointing that people are still so closed minded about these things especially with their immediate family. There is a quote thats really good "you can choose your friends but you cant choose your family" (am not sure who its by though) so having their support really means a great deal. As I am still unsure myself where this will end up, I feel a lot better that at least I have the support of my immediate family with this whatever the final outcome. It did feel wierd talking about it but it has made me more confident in speaking to other people about it.

I'll definately keep practising with the make up and hopefully get some more pics up soon my make up skills are definately improving, i just need to find the right products and shades!

just be sure , above ALL else, you Moisturize BEFORE you apply any makeup it will help it all come together cohesively you have a nice complexion to start with
