Have you ever felt like you looked more feminine or attractive when you were younger?
If so, you’re not alone – many crossdressers and trans women have shared the same feeling with me.
The good news? You can look beautiful and feminine at any age!
While we can’t stop the clock, there are simple things you can do to recapture that youthful glow.
In this post, I’ll share 7 easy tips to help you look younger and feel more confident on your feminization transformation journey.
1. Choose the Right Hairstyle
Hair has a huge impact on your appearance. Long hair is undoubtedly feminine, but remember that excessively long hair can accentuate signs of aging.
Consider these styles for a fresh, youthful look:
- Shoulder length hair: Universally flattering and youthful.
- Bangs: Cute, youthful, and great for concealing forehead wrinkles.
DO: Shoulder length hair
DO: Bangs
2. Embrace Your Sensual Side
While you shouldn’t dress like a 20 year old, you definitely want to avoid looking like a buttoned-up old lady.
Here are some ways to add a bit of youthful sex appeal to your look:
- Wear high heels and playful stockings.
- Choose clothing in sensual fabrics like lace, velvet, and fur.
- Show some skin (tastefully, of course).

3. Get Enough Sleep
We all need our beauty rest, and as you age, the effects of sleep deprivation become more apparent on your face.
Under-eye bags, dark circles, and lackluster skin can detract from a feminine look, so make sure to prioritize sleep.
4. Add Some Color to Your Wardrobe
If you tend to stick with black or neutral tones, consider incorporating some bright colors into your wardrobe.
Vibrant colors add a youthful energy and vitality to your appearance.
5. Whiten Your Teeth and Eyes
Your teeth can give away your age – over time, they often turn yellow or gray.
Whitening them can freshen up your whole face and make you look younger. Products like Crest White Strips are an easy and affordable way to brighten your smile.
The same idea applies to your eyes. Making the whites of your eyes look brighter can instantly lift your whole appearance.
LUMIFY Redness Reliever Eye Drops are a great option – they whiten your eyes without causing the rebound redness some other drops can.
6. Use the Right Skin Care Products
While most skin creams may not live up to their “miracle in a bottle” claims, there are specific ingredients that have demonstrated anti-aging benefits.
Combat wrinkles and firm your skin by using products containing ingredients such as:
- Retinoids
- Vitamin C
- Growth factors
- Peptides
- Hyaluronic acid
You can easily find affordable products with these ingredients at your local drugstore.
If you really want to take things up a notch, consider using an anti-aging skincare device. My favorite beauty devices include:
- Medicube Age-R Booster Pro
- Omnilux Contour Face LED Light Therapy Mask
- ZIIP HALO Nanocurrent and Microcurrent Facial Toning Device
7. Smile
Yes, it’s a cliché, but it’s true – a smile is the quickest way to enhance your appearance.
Smiling elevates your cheeks and functions like an instant facelift. Plus, it makes you look more pleasant and approachable when presenting yourself as a woman.
Beautiful at every age
Now for my favorite bonus tip: Look to stylish and attractive mature women for inspiration.

This is me at 66 (I’m 70 now). Young is in the mind. Even though some say to dress your age, if you think young(er), you can dress younger also.
Remember it’s always ok to break beauty rules you look great love.
Sure chit chatting privately would be fine with me. How can we do it….Hugs Teresa
Good advice. I agree with it, and have comments on some of the items:
4. Color, YES. I have gotten a good passel of compliments when I am more colorful. And I feel younger, too.
6. Skin care. Alpha hydroxy acid sounds really; technical, but it is a name for a collection of slightly different compounds. One is citric acid, which you can buy almost anywhere. It’s used in canning, for example. You can apply it directly in a mild solution, like 2-5%. You can mix it, or one of the other forms of alpha hydroxy, in with lotions that don’t have it. It is also a good exfoliant. You can mix it a little stronger, then rinse off in a while. Saves a lot of $ if you do it yourself. Another skin care need is sun protection, either sunscreen or just avoiding exposure, or both. And, NOT SMOKING.
7. Smile. Amen to that. You don’t want to look like a grumpy old lady,do you?
I realise it’s me commenting about me, but I think I look much better now than when I was young. This selfie photo was taken earlier in the year just before heading out to a pub. I’m 77.
Hi Denny Wilson you look really great at 77. I hope I could look that good when I’m your age.
After many years of hiding and trying to find my inner beauty, I have done more in the last few months than ever before. I know she is there and wanting to show herself. At 47, it’s not easy, but I’m trying. I have a long ways to go, but all of the tips here and instructional videos from Miss Lucille are helping me immensely.

Another favorite black dress. Like I said just be yourself and you will be ok. Don’t worry about what other people think.
your suggestions are so cool.
This is one of my favorite dresses
Hi I just try to be me as feminine as I can at 53 years old. I was 49 when I started dressing. Well I live near Chicago and lots of the women wear leggings like crazy especially downtown.
Dear Lucille
I think all of the tips are spot-on, as always.
My tip would be to eat plenty of oranges, satsumas etc. Ideal to ensure intake of vitamin c.
With love
