>all these 14-16 year old girls doing "look like a male" and "beard makeup" tutorials

>just end up looking like 14-16 year old girls with contouring on their faces and shiny painted on beards/stubble

I have never seen a girl successfully pull this off. Painting on thicker eyebrows just makes you look like a girl with thick eyebrows. Just stick to cosplaying young anime pretty boy protagonists and stop trying to be anime/cable tv characters with masculine features that can't be imitated by slapping makeup and props on your miss skeletal/land whale/curvy figures and faces. If you want be a sub par version of a manly character through, go right ahead. Genderbend is also s good alternative and you guys kill at that.
