Many crossdressers and transgender women tell me that it was easier for them to look feminine 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 simple ways to shave a few years off your appearance – if that happens to be a goal of yours.
Read on for 7 simple ways to look younger now.
1. Choose the Right Hairstyle
Hair has a huge impact on your appearance. Long hair is undoubtedly feminine, but be careful – hair that’s too long can emphasize drooping.
Consider these styles for a fresh, youthful look:
- Shoulder length hair – This length is universally flattering.
- Bangs – Bangs are cute, youthful, and perfect for hiding forehead wrinkles.
DO: Shoulder length hair
DO: Bangs
2. Add Some Sex Appeal
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 flirtatious stockings.
- Choose clothes in sensuous fabrics – like lace, velvet, and fur.
- Show some skin (just not too much!).

3. Get Enough Sleep
We all need our beauty sleep, but the older you get, the more a lack of sleep shows up on your face.
Under-eye bags, dark circles, and sallow skin distract from a feminine look, so be sure to make sleep a priority.
4. Add Some Color to Your Wardrobe
If you usually wear a lot of black or neutral tones, try adding some bright colors to your wardrobe. Bright colors have a youthful vibe and liven up your appearance.
5. Whiten Your Teeth
Teeth are a subtle cue of age – old teeth tend to look yellow or grey.
Whitening your teeth brightens your face and takes years off of your appearance. Try Crest White Strips for cheap and easy tooth whitening.
6. Use the Right Skin Care Products
Most skin creams don’t deliver on their “miracle in a bottle” promises. However, there are certain ingredients that have proven anti-aging benefits.
Fight wrinkles and firm your face by using products that contain one or more of the following ingredients:
- Retinol
- Vitamin C
- Hyaluronic acid
- Alpha hydroxy acid
- Green tea
You can find affordable products with these ingredients in any drug store.
7. Smile
Yes, it’s trite advice, but smiling really is the fastest way to improve your appearance!
A smile lifts the cheeks and acts like an instant facelift. Smiling also gives you a pleasant look and puts people at ease – making it easier to blend in as a woman.
Beautiful at every age

thank you for your tips i am still working onsome things with family, you will be hearing from me soom.
Kristin Scott Thomas turns 50 on May 24. She gets my “other” vote.
I think all these ladies look lovely because they are all comfortable with themselves and happy to be themselves. No woman likes to tell her age and I am no exception. and so, “over seventy” will do. I haven’t been out and about recently, but people always thought I was 10-15 years younger than my real age. Nature was kind to me,but I had to struggle over the years to learn a lot of things my younger sisters now learn from you all at once. From all of us, -Thank you. love. melanie
I am 56 and a person the other day thought I was 37!
He could not belive I was 56.
At 60 I don’t take pictures so much any more period; much to the chagrin of my family and friends. Consequently I show you me as a young woman. I will never be that thin again but I have lost weight and, maybe, I’m close to the way I want to be. Thanks for the tips though as every little but helps.
Great Capture ~ very nice
I’m 66+ and having fun dressing.

While most of these ladies always look great (Demi, Meg Ryan, Kim C, and Heather in particular), I will cast my vote for Michelle Pfeiffer. Catwoman for the leather look, but for pure sexiness, watch The Fabulous Baker Boys!
Toodles,
Tina
Yes, she is another one that should be on my list! There are soooooooooo many beautiful, HOT women over 40 – I couldn’t possibly include them all. But Michelle Pfeiffer is definitely cream of the crop.
I am 61 and try to dress as I feel a mature woman of my age would elegently I hope
Great suggestions as always, thanks. I Just shorten my hair and added color and I’m surprised the difference. I’m always surprised the comments and flirts this 59 yr old gets when out shopping.
