Are you feeling stuck in a MTF style rut? Maybe it’s time to refresh your feminine image!
No matter how good you already look, following the same old routine gets boring.
Updating your look as a crossdresser or trans woman can give you a whole new boost of confidence!
In this blog post on presenting as female, I’ll share 5 simple ways to reinvent your image starting right now.
1. Try a Completely Different Fragrance
Scent is strongly linked to emotions, so changing your fragrance can instantly change the way you feel.
Do you normally wear perfumes that are floral and feminine? Instead, try something musky and exotic to unleash your inner femme fatale. And vice versa!
2. Try Magnetic Lashes
Looking for an easy way to transform and feminize your face? Try magnetic lashes! They make it so easy to get that lush lash look.
Here’s how magnetic lashes work:
- Apply magnetic eyeliner.
- Apply magnetic lashes to the eyeliner.
The eyeliner and lashes magnetically attach – no glue messy required!
Here are some magnetic lash brands to get you started:
- Eylure ProMagnetic Magnetic Eyeliner & Faux Mink Wispy Lash System
- Ardell Magnetic Liner & #110 Lash Kit
- MoxieLash Magnetic Eyeliner & Lashes
3. Dress Up (or Down!) More Than Usual
When you present yourself as a woman, do you normally dress to the nines in heels and skirts?
For fun, try wearing something more casual and dressed down. Or if you normally dress down, dress more formally for a change.
Variety is the spice of life, so step out of your comfort zone and try something new!
4. Look for Style Inspiration Online
The best way to get new ideas is to look for style inspiration. Create a Pinterest board with your favorite looks or follow stylish accounts on Instagram. This will spark new ideas you can try for yourself.
Here are my top 10 stylish transgender / crossdresser Instagram accounts to follow:

5. Try a Different Hairstyle
The fastest way to refresh your look is to change your hairstyle. If you wear a wig, this is super easy to do: Try a different color or length to completely transform your appearance.
If you style your own hair, try parting your hair in a different place. It’s amazing what a simple change like this can have on your appearance.

Lucille,
Yes you have inspired me once again to revitalize my image. New hair style, makeup, and fashion. My last image change was 2020. Liking my new look in 2024!
I love your tips and revisit them often.
Have fun and be happy!

Instead of casual, I decided to “dress to the nines”
I recently got myself a nice set of magnetic eyelashes and I was so impressed. The look so natural and stay on well. Just don’t forget you have them on, if you reach to touch an itch, you’ll lose them!
Been following you since the beginning. Love your advice and support.
Hi! Outside as a woman
I have just recently gone out in public. It was a New Year’s resolution for so many New Years. I just finally got the courage to go out as a woman. I just hate it took me so long to do it. I have always known I prefer to live as woman.
Good for you, I just started recently dressing but was going out from the start. As a gay male u don’t realize how hard it is and how much it takes to walk out ur front door or take that first step out of the car. Keep it up and remember you are the only person in this world you have to please or make happy. Everybody else is just a second character in ur book.
That’s a tough one, honestly, when I undress I’m nothing but an overweight gay man. Lol. And my hands, are big ugly man hands. It’s amazing all the things I wanted before and didn’t have are now the things that I have and don’t want. I can only say don’t fight or hate the attributes god gave u. Luv yourself for the woman u are. Once u can master self luv, u will see what u want to see. You will meet ppl that help u to feel and see what it is you want to. It’s the same damn struggle I have gone through my whole life.
I never identified as a gay male. I identify as a woman. I just have the wrong body. I’m glad there are ways to look feminine on the outside. But I want to look feminine when I’m naked as well
Since this is 2020 and I’m still being reinvented, and getting a little stir crazy from corona lock down, I’m going to write about a family get together with my in laws, at the beginning of the year. I was dressed in my usual shorts and tee. Kept to myself in my bedroom. My wife encouraged me to come downstairs and make myself a plate of food. I figured sooner or later I would encounter family members and I was hungry, so why not? When I came in the ‘party’ the conversations in progress faded off and silence filled the room. I looked around to say hi but all eyes were fixated on the walls and floors in their attempt to act nonchalant. I made my plate and sat down to eat. No one said a word to me. It was quite uncomfortable, so after I finished, I went back in my room so the the ‘party’ could resume. Later on my wife told me that she was surprised that I came out to eat. I’ve never really talked about it and how that made me feel. I suppose it’s just a circumstance that comes with transitioning.
Lucille, maybe an open ‘Thoughts & Comments’ page could be useful.
