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!

hi just here to say hi to everyone im still at the closed
Lucille!
What a great thing you have going here!
(#10) Attitude! Amen sister!
No matter what we do in life, there is always room to learn & improve. Have fun doing so. It’s not always the destination, but often it’s the journey that is memorable.
Attitude should always be at the forefront. You can’t demand respect, but you can attain it.
Don’t take yourself too seriously & be able to laugh at yourself.
Be kind. Be friendly. Laugh. Smile. Aim to make others feel comfortable around you, & lend a helping hand if someone needs it……
idk. Maybe this is complete crap,
but it’s my Modus operandi. 🙂
I recently attended my first event for crossdressers/TG women. I tried to keep it simple, but I needed
1- shoes (I went with flats to be safe first time out)
2-trouser socks
3- white jean slacks
4-designer belt
5- panties (a gaffe in my case)
6-bra
7- breast forms
8-padded tank top to make the breasts more prominent and proportional
9-blouse
10- Necklace
11-bracelets
12-clip-on Earrings
13-wig
14-eye primer
15-eye liner
16-eye Shadow (three shades)
17-false eyelashes
18- foundation
19- blush
20-lip liner
21- lipstick
22-lip gloss
23- women’s blue light glasses
25-Bobby pins to keep hair out of my eyes when I drive
26-fake nails
27-nail glue
28-eyelash glue
29- purse
I normally would add a corset, some hip pads, butt enhancers, mascara, and a woman’s watch, but I tried to narrow it down and be more authentic.
In addition, I needed tools like makeup brushes, a hair brush, eyelash applicator, a makeup mirror, q-tips, and a big selection of makeup removing products for clean up and a cellphone for YouTube instructions, etc. A razor was a must.
The point is, ten is a difficult list. When I want a quick look without a ton of time to deconstruct, I go with a wig, eyeglasses, and lipstick for a feminine face. With a little more time, I go with eyeshadow only with some of the darker shadow playing the role of mascara and liner. I need a bra, forms, and a sundress with or without panties. I can add low pumps or sandals for a complete look.
With all that, Melinda, you must have looked FABULOUS!!
I have just about all the items on the list. I look forward to putting it all together.
I forgot to add the image of what I looked like that night
Dear Lucille, As always your advice is invaluable!( A little black dress is almost my favorite). What stands out the most in your list, to me, is ATTITUDE! Lately, when i’m getting ready to go out, there are times i’m not so sure of myself, and times when i’m probably overconfident, NO MATTER! When i close the door behind me, in my mind i am an attractive, sexy girl, and that’s the way i present myself. I may run into someone i haven’t come out to, but they will just have to deal with it!(It has happened and i must say i’ve always been greeted with a hug and a “ you go girl!” Anyway, be yourself, enjoy your femininity and HAVE FUN!
Hi Lucille,
I really appreciate all the good suggestions for what a girl needs to have in this blog. Thankfully I’ve got most if not all the items mentioned. All the best to you and you’re blogs are wonderful! Thank you.
