One of the quickest ways to feel more feminine is to put on lipstick.
In fact, I say you aren’t fully dressed without a swipe of lipstick or lip gloss! This applies to everyone, including crossdressers and trans women.
Whether you like a subtle clear lip or a bold red pout, your favorite lip color reveals a lot about your feminine style.

Red = Confident
Red lipstick is sexy, classic, and bold. It projects confidence and self-assurance.
Go for red lips if you want to attract attention and show your sensual side.
Bright Pink = Bubbly
Bright pink lips are bubbly and energetic.
This is a bold, fun shade that projects playfulness. Wear bright pink lipstick if you want to be the proverbial life of the party.
Soft Pink = Feminine
Soft pink is a delicate, feminine lipstick shade. Choose this color if you’re the romantic type and want to look soft, sweet, and girly.
Mauve or Russet = Mysterious
Mauve and russet are muted lipstick shades with purple or brown undertones.
These understated colors are perfect if you want to appear mysterious, sophisticated, and intelligent.
Burgundy or Berry = Seductive
Burgundy and berry are deep, rich lip colors for those who aren’t afraid to make a statement.
They signal confidence and boldness, but with more seriousness than pure red or bright pink. Think sexy, seductive, and a bit mysterious.
Coral = Friendly
Coral is a beautiful peachy color with undertones of pink and orange. It’s a happy color that’s perfect for friendly, bubbly personalities.
Wear coral lipstick if you want to give off positive, optimistic vibes.
Nude = Warm
Nude lips are understated and classic. They give off a warm and caring vibe.
Nude lipstick is soft and feminine, but projects more seriousness than light pink lipstick.
Lip Gloss = Fun
Glossy lips, whether clear or with a hint of color, show off a fun personality that loves the spotlight.
Wear lip gloss if you want to give off a youthful vibe with a touch of glitz and glamour.
Lip Balm = No-nonsense
Maybe you don’t wear lipstick or lip gloss at all.
If bare lips or lip balm are your “colors” of choice, you show that you want to be taken seriously. You are no-nonsense, practical, and minimalistic.
Let’s talk lips!

Burgundy, mauve
It depends on my mood or the day. I like red, but sometimes I like something else. I have many different varieties and colours of lipstick, love them all, use them all. If I am undecided, I pick my most used up one and wear that
So HAPPY for you Selena!! I have been on hrt for two years. I just turned 60 last month, but I tell people that I have only been truly alive for these last two years. I fought being who I truly am for 58 years, because I was taught and believed that it was wrong to be this way. I spent many years in depression, spent thousands of dollars in counseling, and countless amounts of pain for myself and others before realizing and accepting who I am. I have come to believe that God created me this way for a special reason. Though I do believe that being transgender is often over diagnosed and has become a trendy fad, for many of us it is a VERY real thing and transitioning is absolutely necessary to continue (or start) living. I myself am trying to find a way to come up with financing for gender reassignment surgery here in the USA so I can more completely merge my body and spirit into one being. Just a warning to those who may be considering transitioning: See more than one or even two counselors. I recommend checking out stories of those who have transitioned and regretted it… THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THEM!! This is not something to be taken lightly. Often there are other problems that manifest in appearing to be transgender, but counselors are too afraid of being politically incorrect, or too stupid (really the same thing) to say anything but, “O, well, you must be transgender! Let’s get you on hormones.”. For those of us who truly are, however, it can be a matter of life or death! It was for me.. By the way, My lip color changes with the seasons, my mood and what I am wearing. Summer time is usually more in the pink family and winter time is usually more in the brown family, but I also use reds, mauve and purples. Best of luck and blessings to you!
Danielle, dresses are definitely you! You look beautiful….are you sure you’re 60?
Thanks Hon! Yes I do love my dresses, and yes, I hit 60 two weeks ago and have lots of hard miles on my body from years of farming and construction and sawmill work. 26 broken bones from just two falls plus both ankles multiple times and God only knows how many fingers and toes. It is AMAZING what FINALLY being fully alive will do for a person! Well, … a little makeup and taking Lucille’s tips seriously go a long way too! Losing about 25 pounds between those pictures has helped a lot as well.
I love light red lipstick
As noted, I love light red lipstick
I agree that the lips are the second thing a girl should be concerned about (first being the eyes). My color is from Covergirl #305 (pink-blue). This is a unique color that is less than “bright pink” but more than “soft pink”. I feel this color is for me due to the combination and the tone of how I feel about being feminine. This is not my only color though; I also have a red, soft pink, mauve, and a lip gloss.. You have to feel the moment that you are in and live for the day that you belong to.
Best wishes for a great outcome and speedy recovery. I am in the process of everything in line for the same surgery. I live in central United States. Hugs
I am curious what the color of my lips says about Me?
could you please help me to find out … giving me your opinion
I am also a bright pink girl. Actual more deep magenta, and i often use a purple lipliner for a graded effect. For me, i simply adore the color, and also i feel my skin has become very pale with age which saddens me as i was quite brown as a child and younger person. And it also means my lips are very pale, so i love the emphasis that this color brings. HRT has actually brought some color back to my skin – actually, that’s a metaphor for so many threads of my life – transition and HRT have just simply brought color back to me!
Here i am today in the Englischer Garten in München. It’s a big day for me – i have just met with my SRS surgeons here to decide the final details of my op and it will happen before the end of the year. There’s a train strike on in Germany and i had to hastily book a last minute ticket to get here from my hometown of Berlin. I thought i was going to miss my appontment, but it all went so well in the end. The weather is appropriately sublime all over Germany. I remember sobbing in the bath when i was 5 years old, dunking my head under the water so that no one would hear me, gazing upon what lay between my legs and wishing with every fiber of my being that it were different. In those days, in the late 1960s, i never dared to dream that one day it might be different: how could it be? No one cared or even wanted to know about gender dysphoria in those days, but suddenly this morning, fifty years later, as my surgeon wrote my formal letter of recommendation to my insurance Krankenkasse, it became more than a dream for me. It suddenly seems real. I am walking on air, but i am also bewildered by a feeling of surreality.
It must be so very exciting for you Selena! It may be a bit to early to say congratulations, but, I’ll say it anyway, CONGRATULATIONS! I’m truly happy for you! Please keep us updated as the time draws near. Unless of course you want to keep it more personal which is understandable, too!
Thanks, dearest Morgan. I will do so. I am over the Moon, although it is a little bittersweet in that i know it will let slip a final wave of grief in my darling wife, even though she is supportive. I know this is a step which i need to take, but it’s irreversibility i think will loom large in my darling partner’s mind. I earnestly hope this is the last time i must cut someone so dear to me, and indeed the need not to hurt he was what held me back in the end – I transitioned when i became suicidal. We’re both happy and that seems a long time ago, but i shall always bear a little sadness at the grief my transition caused her.
I am a soft pink girl in the office, as bright red isn’t permitted. However, for girly nights out it has to be MAC Russian Red
