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 all of these items and more except the color corrector since I have removed all facial hair. I usually wear dresses or skirts and as far as lingerie, I prefer corsets and nude stockings though at times I find I do have to wear a high-waist or panty girdle because of wearing tight jeans. I’m not even sure if I have a pair of pantyhose as I love traditional stockings with garters, or in a pinch I wear a pair of thigh-high hold-up stockings. As for attitude, I notice as soon as I become Patricia, my attitude totally changes and I become happy, self-confident and friendly.
PattiKay, Love your pic and comments. I have to ask- was your picture taken in Punta Gorda, FL at a local authentic Irish bar and restaurant? They have a patio area that looks exactly like your pic.

Dear Lucille,
I loved this article and I am definitely going to use your tips as key references during my transition. But I’m 6’3″ and I’m really self-conscious about being such a tall girl when I’m en femme (I haven’t even begun my transition yet nor have I dressed en femme more than a few times). Because of my height should I avoid heels? What would be the best alternative shoes for me to wear so I don’t intimidate people with my height?
I love heels.. only, I seem to walk toes slightly inward. This I work on, yet can’t seem to correct my lnward step.Makes me feel like a hooker strolling, especially in mini skirts.
When I was a child I would wear my mom heels. And the bad thing that we wear the same size so when I am alone in the house I would walk around the house in her heels. And I can say that I can wear heels
I am very tall so I don’t wear high heels unless I am going out at night, but I am glad to know that the low heel is still helpful.
I can see were u r coming from. As for me I am 6 ft 1 inches and I still would wear heels. But I only wear it in the house and not in public
Hello Lucille darling you’ve helped me so much, please tell me what you think of my female look. I really value your opinion. 3233784373
Girl u look sexxy
Love this article, and them all on this site I must say. Anyways, quick question. I’d like to know which lipstick or stain lasts the longest. Something that just won’t rub off. Any suggestions?
