Many crossdressers and transgender women tell me that they felt more confident about their looks when they were younger.
The truth is, you can look beautiful and feminine at any age!
While nobody can stop the clock, there are some easy ways to make yourself look younger if that’s your goal.
In this blog post, I’ll share 7 simple tips to enhance your youthful allure as part of 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
Teeth can subtly reveal your age – older teeth often appear yellow or gray.
Whitening your teeth can rejuvenate your face and take years off your appearance. Consider using affordable and effective products like Crest White Strips for tooth whitening.
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.
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

My secret to looking younger for the longest time was to hang around old people. I looked around recently and noticed a lot of younger people hanging around me. I think I have become their secret to looking younger.
I can see why you look younger! You have a great set of girls and your legs are to die for!
Hi Jeanette
You look awesome honey keep it up
Mona
Lucille, you’ve got it right. I would only add one item, taping. With the judicious use of transparent surgical tape you can take 20+ years off your looks. It’s a lot less expensive than facial feminization surgery as well.
I’m 73 in this picture taken on the runway at this year’s First Event. Even up close no one wants to believe I’m much over 40.
Jennifer
Jennifer you look so so beautiful! I don’t understand what “taping” is.. Can you please explain it to me?
Love ..

PIC S FOR YOU
73? Wow. Honestly, you ladies put genetic women to shame.
I’m sure we’d ALL love to hear how you use transparent surgical tape, Jennifer! Please do share …
I cannot believe you forgot the two MOST beautiful women over 40
Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren! They put ALL of these others to SHAME! But HILLARY??? shouldn’t even be on the page!
I agree!!!! How could I forget? I’m adding them now, lol. I included Hillary Clinton because I got comments that I was featuring too many actresses as GG role models. I see Hillary Clinton is not too popular in this poll. 😉

Thank you Lucille for your article. I am glad that you are giving suggestions for us more mature women. I especially loved the suggestion to smile. One aspect of that is that you are presenting yourself as being confident as well. I have a hobby of “collecting” smiles. It is a wonderful way of helping yourself as you are out there with people. As to clothes, I have a favorite that is a bright yellow silk wrap blouse that shows off one’s assets and a nice gauze skirt to go with it for this summer.
Hi there!
Nice and informative article. I am 63 years young, and feel better about myself every day. Currently I am in the process of recovering from my third heart attack and going to Cardiac Rehab three times a week. I have learned what looks good on me as far as clothing, makeup, hair and accessories. Just last week I got stopped in the store and complimented on my hair. The lady was suprised when I told her my age!

This is me at 60, still 19 in the head!! Thanks for all your great tips.
