Are you excited to embrace your fabulous female self? Having the right tools is key!
While some transgender / crossdressing supplies are obvious, there are important items you might not have considered that can help you look and feel your best as a woman.
In this blog post, I share 10 must-have essentials for your male to female transformation journey.
1. Breast Forms
Breasts are arguably the most feminine part of a woman’s body.
If you don’t possess your own natural curves, then investing in a pair of breast forms is a must for any crossdresser or transgender woman. (Of course, you’ll also need a cute bra to put them in!)
2. Color Corrector
Dealing with a visible beard shadow can be a major challenge in putting your best face forward.
Although it may be tempting to camouflage it with thick concealer, the result never appears natural.
Instead, invest in a pink or red color corrector to help neutralize the tone of your beard shadow. This enables you to use less makeup and achieve a more natural and feminine appearance.
(Note: Check out The Makeup Magic Program for expert tips on concealing a beard shadow, using makeup to feminize your face, and so much more!)
3. Body Shaper
A body shaper is a versatile garment that offers multiple benefits, including waist trimming, belly flattening, and overall shape smoothing.
Body shapers come in a variety of styles. Opt for a brief style to wear under shorter skirts and a thigh-length style for pants and longer skirts.
To feminize your lower body, look for a body shaper with hip and butt padding to create the illusion of curves.
4. Perfume
The right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine!
The secret is to choose a fragrance that matches the qualities you want to express. Here are some simple guidelines:
- Go for floral scents if you want to express your romantic side.
- Choose oriental or woody scents if you want to bring out your inner seductress.

5. Black Pantyhose Or Tights
While bare legs may be fashionable, there’s nothing quite like the sophisticated appeal of hosiery. Classic black pantyhose or tights, in particular, are a style must-have.
When opting for pantyhose, choose the sheerest hose available and stick to jet black. Avoid shades like gray-black or brown-black.
Alternatively, you can go for opaque tights for a more casual and youthful look.
6. Lipstick
Studies show that a woman’s lips are considered the most attractive part of her body, particularly when accentuated with lipstick.
It goes without saying that lipstick is an essential item that will instantly make you look more feminine and attractive.
7. Classic Pumps
Shoes say more about you than any other accessory. When it comes to making a statement, you can’t go wrong with a timeless pair of black pumps.
Classic black pumps exude sexiness, femininity, and work well with many types of clothes.
8. Moisturizer
Due to higher testosterone levels, males tend to have rougher skin compared to women.
That’s why it’s essential to incorporate a daily facial moisturizer into your routine, whether you’re presenting as your feminine self or not.
By using moisturizer regularly, you can achieve smoother-looking skin and enhance the application and longevity of your makeup.
9. Little Black Dress
The little black dress is a wardrobe staple every crossdresser and transgender woman should own. A simple black dress in a flattering length can go from day to night and will never go out of style.
10. Attitude
Lastly, the key to it all is your attitude – and it’s absolutely crucial!
The way people treat you often reflects how you expect to be treated. So, embrace your femininity and radiate fabulousness with confidence. You deserve nothing less, girlfriend!

I have to say hip and butt pads. I know so many trans women who don’t use them, and it’s pretty much a dead giveaway, especially if you are thin.
Rachael, what a beautiful woman you are. I am really thin so can’t look anything like as gorgeous as you.
Whatever you started with, you’ve done really well.
Number 11:
A good quality Wig that suits face shape
try Hair Club. they did great job.
Im looking like real woman. I can bath with it or go swimming. See yourself.
I have every one of those items except for the breast forms. Substitute a few well fitting bras and a good nbe regime for me 😀
This is three months development using a modified version of flat2fem.
I do have all the things on the list especially the attitude. Samantha Is correct a GOOD corset is a necessity. The one thing I have not found is a good way to reduce lines and wrinkles For us older gals. Lots of products claiming to be age defying but I can’t afford to try them all any suggestions would be appreciated .
Oh, Cynthia! ‘Older’ gal? Hun, as a CD, I’d LOVE to look half that good! And as a heterosexual male, I’d love to find a gal that looks as good as you (Looking for a boyfriend?). Keep on being you. With love – Michelle B
P.S. – Try Laura Geller ‘Spackle Treatment’ primer and/or L’Oreal ‘Visible Lift’ makeup. The best that I’ve found so far. Next would be theatrical makeup – Ben Nye is good!
Just a CD myself in mid 50s married and without any aids ( not counting makeup, wig,and jewelry )
try to look my fem best . I appreciate the
recommendations . Thanks
Sweetie you’re looking great to me. Love ya’
Hello, Cynthia I’am 39 almost 40 this may seem odd but it really works great on wrinkles. Go to You tube type in Facelift and wrinkle remover frequency by Binaural beats meditation. You need headphones and it is one hour long but I kid you not girl it works fab.
Skeptical ? Yes but the price is right so why not I will try it Thanks
I love moistureisers
I love your advice columns and I have 36D cups and about 36 bras and panties. I always use positive attitude whenever I go. I shave every day to keep my female persona open.
M.J. , I was wondering if your wife is still with you and does she support your feminine look? Dee
One of the big things I could add to this list is a good set of makeup brushes. They’re invaluable to do a great job when you apply your makeup. As for the items mentioned on your list, I have them all and yes, you’re right about moisturizer. Ladies, facial moisturizer is an absolute must if you want to stay consistent with putting your face on. Let alone the makeup flows easier, when your guy or gal touches your face and it feels soft, it’s so much better than to have the rough skin you’re born with. Really, you need to use it daily so get going on it.
