Looking your best as a woman takes ongoing effort. But if you’re a crossdresser or transgender woman who wants to look better NOW, you are in the right place.
The truth is, sometimes little tweaks can make the biggest difference in your male to female transformation.
In this post, I share 8 simple yet effective tips to instantly boost your feminine allure, so you can look and feel your best – fast!
1. Whiten Your Eyes
You probably don’t think much about the whites of your eyes, but bright white eyes are an important symbol of health and beauty.
The best way to combat dull or bloodshot eyes is to eat well, get enough sleep, and take breaks from your phone or computer screen.
But for a quick fix, try redness reducing drops. LUMIFY Redness Reliever Eye Drops are formulated to be safer and more effective than traditional redness reducing eye drops, without the “rebound redness” effect.
2. Lengthen Your Lashes
Lush, long lashes are a beauty must – and mascara is a girl’s best friend.
Since lashes are so important, I’m also going to share a longer-term strategy: Use an eyelash growth serum to help your lashes grow fuller and thicker. Here are some recommendations:
As an added bonus, treating your lashes is a great way to pamper your feminine self – even in male mode.
3. Master The Proper Leg Positions
You already know that a lady keeps her legs together, but did you know there’s a right and wrong way to cross your legs?
Crossing your legs at the knees is not only bad for circulation, it’s considered a don’t among upper class women.
The proper leg positions to master are known as the Duchess Slant and the Cambridge Cross:
- Duchess Slant – Knees and heels together and off to the side
- Cambridge Cross – Legs crossed at the ankles
4. Choose The Right Lip Color
The right lip color will immediately brighten your face. But how do you know which shade is best? A simple trick is to consider your eye color:
- Green or hazel eyes – Try red tones
- Blue eyes – Try coral tones
- Brown eyes – Try pink tones
Since it’s frustrating to spend money on a lipstick that doesn’t suit you, I also recommend investing in a lip color palette like the Maybelline Lip Color Palette. This gives you endless options to experiment and mix your own custom colors.
5. Defrizz Your Hair
Smooth, shiny hair (as seen on trans actress Laverne Cox above) makes you look pretty and polished. Frizzy hair, on the other hand, can make you look sloppy.
To control frizz and maintain shine, use a smoothing spray such as Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine for natural hair or HD Smooth Detangler by Jon Renau for wigs and synthetic hair.
6. Choose The Right Neckline
The décolleté is one of the most attractive parts of a woman’s body. Enhance your feminine appeal by showing off your neck and chest with a scoop or v-neck top.
It doesn’t even have to be particularly low cut to have a flattering effect. As an added bonus, deeper neckline styles help slenderize a broad torso.
7. Highlight Your Complexion
There’s nothing sexier than a dewy, youthful complexion. Fortunately, you can fake glowing skin by using highlighter makeup to brighten and highlight your face.
The video below gives a quick overview on the different types of highlighters (liquid, cream, or powder) and how to apply them.
8. Accentuate Your Waist
The more you can emulate a woman’s waist-to-hip ratio, the more feminine you will look.
Create the illusion of curves – instantly – with shapewear, peplum tops, or skirts and dresses that flare out at the hips. Check out my article on How to Create an Hourglass Figure to learn more.
In conclusion
While looking your best requires ongoing effort, these quick fixes can instantly take your male to female transformation to the next level.

I love these tips and make regular reference to them. Like quite a lot of respondents, it’s the waist that’s the killer for me. I have tried all kinds of things and after consulting my dressmaker I took her advise. Which was have dresses(and skirts) altered to fit – on the hips and at the waist and even though body proportions are different, a good fit gives a good illusion. It seems to have worked OK and at very little expense.
I think lipstick counts for a lot. I worked through a lot of different brands and colors but now I stick with Wet ‘n’ Wild fuchsia, which stays on all day and evening. Though I redo it every hour or so, just for fun. I am lucky in that my husband, a beautiful AFAB (assigned female at birth) helps me with everything. But some I have developed on my own. I began cross-dressing as a child and am dedicated to understanding my femininity in every way; I spend a lot on little things, like lace leggings, and shoes.
I have become more bold as people where I live have become accustomed to seeing me en femme, and am spending lots of time trying out new outfits. Some see me as a transgender, which is supposedly acceptable in my city, though I am still threatened.
I love being a female and a totally in to every aspect of it.
I like the tips and will use the whitening technique for my eyes. I agree with you on the hips and creating an illusion. Thanks, Lucille for such a great post.
I absolutely love the Dutchess of Cambridge position when I sit down.
I usually wear very short skirts so that I can show off my legs which probably are my best assist.
I’ve had many comments on how great my legs look
I usually don’t wear panties under my skirt but I do wear a prosthetic vagina.
So keeping my legs closed is essential when I sit down or else I’ll be showing more than just my legs
Hi
I took the poll, and I was re-assured that my no.1 tip was shared by other girls voting in the survey (accentuating the waist).
I favour the scoop tops, and I find the advice about leg position so invaluable.

Great tips again.Excellence is important.Getting that real feminine feeling increases with these extraordinary tips.Gender women could also learn so much from them. I love the tips on how to position one’s legs.The makeup tips add so much to the feminine experience.Thankyou Lucille again for helping so many.
I try to also buy dresses that have a peplum top and/or flare out at the waist. And of course nice shape wear helps out as well. And of course the proper lipstick color puts it all together.
I love all the tips, very helpful.
