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 still occasionally use breastforms but with hormone therapy, I’m into a B or C cup. I’m doing not bad on makeup, but my budget limits the times I can even wear it out in everyday life. Can’t do pumps anymore due to fallen arches and a little black dress I’m not sporting as I have more rainbow selections versus just black. Moisturizer… Ha.. Pricey
Now attitude, it is in huge abundance!!!
Nice lookin’, but is the nail color good? I would go for the deep red, or even brown. If not try a turquoise blue.
Hiya all
I’m Steph and I’m from London in UK. I spent a lot of time dressing fully en femme in Paris while working there last year. It took me a while to find my “look” which I think I’ve achieved back home in UK. Being on the larger tummy side but legs and arms are slim, long sleeved crew neck items work for me. I have a long chiffon type swing dress from a store called New Look which I adore wearing.
Being married, it’s all a bit of subterfuge and Steph wants more and more! I’m lucky to have supportive lady friends who have offered a lot of help with clothes and makeup.

I have breast forms,bra panty sets,garters, stockings, panty hose,tights, many different style and colors of high heels shoes,wigs, jewelry,make up, many dresses, tops,skirts,suits,and leggings. I want to go to the next level with this and get my eye brows permanently feminized and my nails done all the time and get my ears pierced.I also would love to have some guidance and support to let me know how I’m doing at this.My goal is to become as feminized as possible.
hi Lucille, this was such a fun post – made me think about all the things i love about being a girl (i’m a crossdresser not tg). have everything except the little black dress! would love to have one but…sigh. unfortunately i can’t do the lbd justice but i do have a jacket and purse and i do know where the malls are! do agree with some others that padded hips do help. collor corrector, lipstick and perfume, yes! but mascara!!! omg yes. and at least for us girls that cannot be who we want to be full time – a decent wig is very important and i wish i knew more about how to judge them. maybe something for a future post???
thanks so much Lucille, You are the best!
