With make-up, less is more, unless you are going for a drag-queen-ish kinda look.
But since High School, even after transitioning full time, for me it's always been, black eye liner, black eye shadow, mascara, and foundation.
Clothing, get girls tops/tshirts and jeans from hot topic or something like that, it looks good on most people and you could finish it with a really nice jacket/sweater to hide the shoulder issue, the stuff you can have more fun with are like necklaces and jewellery and hair stuff, you can make most hairstyles look girly with a headband and bow.
That's all I can offer, unless you actually want to grow your hair, I went to hairdressing college, so know a lot about that kinda thing.

I go for skinny jeans with long, lose flowing shirts... High heeled boots can be good too, as long as you're not too tall already, and in summer I wear wedged sandals with brightly painted toenails... Don't know about hair,mine reaches my waist so I don't need to do much with it, but if its short maybe have a look at how girls with a pixie cut style there's?
Make up is my favourite - make sure you get a shade of foundation that matches your skin tone, and if your mum is comfortable with it, maybe she can give you lessons? Otherwise there are tutorials online, or you can ask (I worked at a makeup counter, plus got pretty comfortable with makeup when I did ballet...) Go for a natural look if you just wanna blend in - I'm talking nude colours, just to help make you look a bit more feminine... Don't try to change the shape of anything, especially your lips, or you'll end up looking like a drag queen! Subtle eyeshadow, small bit of eyeliner, some mascara if you need it... A bit of blush to highlight cheekbones, and a lip gloss...
With cross dressing, less is usually more. Good luck!
Edit: Also, just thought of something... Check your eyebrows! Women have narrower, more defined brows, so you may need to pluck yours... Keep it natural, maybe have a look at women who have similar facial structures as your for ideas... That was the first thing my sister made me do when I started cross dressing...

AmeliaParadox SilentVex AmeliaParadox easy to deal with dad, buy a guitar and call it glam rock cat_xp Then he'd have two reasons to be upset with me. ^^" what's with this guy? was he 20 in 1930 and time travelled to the future to have a family? cat_razz
Might've been, I don't know. He's pretty intolerant of most things. Heck, during the time I thought I was bisexual (panromantic in the end) I was terrified of telling him.
He has good taste of music (and if my mom's personality is anything to judge by, women as well) but yeah, I'm thinking he was born in the 60's and grew up in the 30's. The 1830's that is.

SilentVex And I wasn't sure where this topic *should* go, so I decided to ask it here figuring that maybe I could get the help I'd need without breaking any rules. So uhm, Hi. I'm Vex, and recently I've started to cross dress as a girl. and I rather like it, I feel comfortable in female clothing to be honest. But I'm having, issues finding things that fit me just right. Maybe I should explain why I'm posting this, Today I told my mom about this cross dressing thing and she was open to it. Confused a bit obviously but, open. She even drove me and my sisters way out of town to find me clothing to wear (since I didn't *have* my own blouses or dresses or anything). Except, we were going for the stuff that was *borderline* male/female since my dad is NOT open to the idea, so not open we dont even risk telling him. So when I start trying on some shirts (very pretty ones too~~) only one really fit, because my shoulders are too wide for the mediums we tried and (as I don't have breasts) the collars on the Larges were too low on my chest. This really made me sad and upset with my body, still is (yeah it's only been a day but, oh well. I feel what I feel right?). We bought some pastel *girly* male shirts to make up for it (their words not mine) but, I still wish I could've fit into the others. I wanna know, is there anyone else out there who's had this problem? And did you find a way around it? I'd really appreciate any help or tips you guys could give to me to successfully cross dress, or at least how to find clothing that fits nicely. Doesn't have to be a tip about clothing or make up either, since I'm purposely intending to seem like a girl as much as possible. I just need help. v.v
If you do not mind me asking, where are you from? (I know some stores in both Canada and America that might have what you are looking for.)
