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:
- @leynabloom – Transgender supermodel
- @nikkietutorials – One of the world’s most popular beauty vloggers, came out as transgender in Jan 2020
- @teddy_quinlivan – Transgender runway model
- @aliciapieta – Brazilian transgender model, makeup artist, and actress
- @angelaponceofficial – First transgender woman to compete in the Miss Universe contest

- @hunterscafer – Transgender model and actress
- @marinamachetereis – Portuguese model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe Portugal 2023
Are there any others I should add to the list? Let me know in the comments!
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.
How will YOU reinvent your image?

That was such a provocative question.
There I was pondering what sort of a job of reinvention I might do for myself. Ponder, ponder, ponder. Then: Hey! I’m always reinventing myself. I play with appearance and style all the time. Yup, some disasters there, allright. It sure is fun, though.
Inside I’m pretty consistent Maybe there is some room for adjustment there, too, even though I’m pretty ok with my inner gal as is.
Oh, well…

At first I didn’t think I’d have anything to put here but then I remembered one of my goals this year was to purchase a wig. It will be shoulder length and blonder than my own giving a significant change to my look. The more I think about it the more excited I become!
I’m in need to get my hair styled and layered. My hair has been growing for 2 1/2 years. At one point my wife trimmed off about 5 inches because my hair tends to be dry and it had split ends. I had haircuts in a salon (as a male) and have had terrible anxiety attacks. The beautician kept saying,”Relax, Relax!” But, my heart was pounding like crazy. I’m not sure how I’ll do this next time. Any suggestions besides psychiatric help? Been there, don’t help.
Hi Morgan! I think your hair looks great! As far as a haircut, I wouldn’t do too much looking at you. And definitely go to the salon as a woman and get a woman’s cut! You would have no problem! Good luck – hugs, Suzy
Hi all – I am kind of disappointed by the lack of reply’s on this blog. Even if you don’t want to reinvent yourself for the new year, chime in on what’s going on. I personally don’t want to change a thing about my current life style. I live as a woman 24/7 and love it. That’s my thing. Here is another photo of me at the Rack at Nordstrom. I’m retired now and at 73 years old, and now I just love my life as Suzy! Have fun, Suzy
Suzy,
You and Lucille have inspired me to reinvent myself for 2020 ! I have a couple of new hair-styles and I am going shopping for new outfits this week end. I will share pics next week and you can tell me what you think.
Have fun dressing!

I’m trying to find more ways to be a sexy woman! Now that I’m retired I find so many ways now to try on pretty clothes and shoes! I mainly try to look like any other woman in her seventies when I am out, i.e., try not to bring attention to myself. I think I do okay! However, the other day I was at The Rack at Nordstrom’s trying on some cute high heels for a party I am going to! I can’t wait!
Suzy,
You are on it! You are an inspiration. Cute shoes. I like the Rack myself.
All the best
Barbara Jane
Robin Jenn,
Thanks for the Shoe Dazzle and North Style tips.
I am excited to give them a look.
Have fun!
Barbara Jane
Dear Suzy & Barbara Weston,
try SHOE DAZZLE, they have a lot of spiked heels, & very good selection, Boots, some stacked type heels. If I might suggest other places for heels like North Style, (on line Retailers) plus returns are made easy. I never have shopped @ Nordstrom Rack but I have to check it out.. Bless you both. Robin Jenn
Thanks so much Barbara Jane! The shoes are perfect for a little black dress I will be wearing!
And yes, I have recommended the Rack before to girls not only for the shoes but for all the other great clothes they have that are on discount! I only wear a size 10 women’s shoe, but they have sizes up to 13, which is great for transgender ladles!
Anyhow, have a great day! Hugs, Suzy
At 60 I am now able to dress more frequently but now my style has changed to a more natural and everyday casual or professional look. I still enjoy putting on a short skirt and low cut peplum top bombshell bra with black waist clincher garter and back seam nylons finished with 6 inch stilettos just not very often and definitely not when I plan on going out in public.when working outside or in my shop often I will wear a bra panties and stay up nylons under my jeans and T shirt, “so comfortable”!
