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.

I always had a thing for Sophia Loren… for her beauty, style and elegance. My second choice would be Demi Moore.
Thank you Lucille for your tips and advices.

Hi Lucille
Thank you for all the information. My breasts are growing good and feel very proud of them . They are not there yet but do know it takes time. I would love to buy more of your products but at this stage I do need the money for all the medical bills, but do know the time will also come .
Thanks again for the information

Sorry, but I had to take the ‘other’ option and go for Valerie Bertinelli. She’s 50+ and still could be playing the teen she was on One Day At A Time, back in the 70s!
Hugz!
Mellissalynn
Yes! She is adorable!
I love bright blues, greens (lime) and pinks. Not to bad at 52 considering before transition I was almost 400lbs and now 2.5 years late at 145. Being my beautiful self has saved my life.
Luv and snickers,
Ursula XOXOXO
Congratulations on losing the weight you look great! But your adorable kitty steals the show.
That blue looks great on you!
Thank you so much for your excellent advice,but it was difficult to choose from the list of wonderful women as all appear ageless to me! Time for some beautifying sleep! Best Wishes Honey
Lu Woman walk from the hips. Men walk from the knees. Men take long steps and swagger, woman take shorter less aggressive steps and sway. They have to when wearing high heels and tight skirts. So too will men, lest we break our shoe heels and / or split open the vent in our skirts. Not good!
As previously mentioned in “comments”, we want to keep our backs straight but allow our shoulders droop. And for the love of God, let’s not use shoulder fillers in our blouse or jackets. Although they’re very feminine, with our shoulders already wide we need to soften our upper image rather than enhance it thus making us look like funnels ( from the back view) rather than the hour-glass figure we so desperately crave..
For those of us who are heading into the 3rd turn of life and are over 40, the front view in the mirror usual looks “OK to Fine”, But the side profile is the most important view. His, or Her belt buckle must be nothing less than vertical! Meaning, NO GUT.
Pay attention to that detail and the rest of the body will follow helping you to look more feminine, longer, and further into life, when your dressing really comes to fruition and we’re least concerned about what narrow minds think. That’s when life really began for me..
Lucille, There’s such a need to teach and that’s what was intended with these comments. I sincerely hope fences weren’t violated or I over stepped my bounds.
Not at all – those are great tips! Thanks for sharing. I especially like your tip about checking out the side profile.
While all of the women listed are beautiful, I had to vote other since Michelle Pfieffer was not listed.
