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

I am 50 now and people are sometimes shocked I am that old.
Won’t say I’ve found the Fountain of Youth but in retrospect so far it seems to be eliminate drama and stress, drink water as your primary liquid, keep moving. Doesn’t seem to be diet, just everything in moderation. Maybe since I’m always active and using my upper body daily as a handyman person but dancing at the clubs worked the bottom half. Haven’t gained a single pound since 1974. High school. 1974. I’m 68 now.
73 and you are absolutely right about the smile!
75 and feel so much younger… my first makeover convinced me my feminine self is who I am
Such true and common sense tips, I try to live by them. Every year gets more of a challenge to hold it all together, but I think the female inside us helps to slow the aging process a little too.
This is me at a friends place on my 75th birthday last month. I feel wonderful as Jennifer, and will probably be full time by sometime next year. I’m getting my ears pierced next week.
Hugs,
Jennifer
Hi ladies – my name is Suzy and I am a 78 year old trans woman. I am retired and try to live my life 24/7 now as a woman. I’m fairly small (5’7” and 150 lbs). I think I pretty much adhere to all of Lucille’s tips. I never have a problem when I am out en femme and am treated like any other woman doing her thing. Here is a recent photo of me at my local mall a week ago!
Simply lovely Suzy. I hope to look as great in another 3 years.
Hugs,
Jennifer
