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

Sorry no pictures, not brave enough. Many years in the closet but love my new self. Spouse is helping but not ready to come full out. She helps with my wardrobe and make up. Maybe I’ll make it all out next year at the Esprie convention in my town. Love to mingle with the girls on the night out.
Ok, I am so embarresed. My old excuse has been taken away… now what ? I will have to start and work harder. I am 54 and I look and feel much older, to my shagrin. I am so happy for you ladies, I can’t say enough. Thank You!

Thanks Lucille for all advice ,
every days motto is :

Me at a few months shy of 60…lots of moisturizer, sleep, and water…
I was happy to see that I’ve been following a lot of these tips as integral parts of my regular beauty regimen. Another suggestion would be to lose weight whenever necessary. I too am also over 60! Cena
Hi Lucille,
In according to your top number 2 I would like to add very experimental photo not mine,but the part of my spring-summer wardrobe.It shows that I am trying to use brigt colours in my wardrobe. Recently I haven’t even known the right names of colours of my tops or dresses. But my teacher is my daughter,who is young perspective painter and designer. Now I know the colours,applying in clothes painting which I couldn’t even imagine such as the colour of sunrise seawave,the colour of sunset seawave,the colour of young red wine,the colour of the first forest strawberry,the colour of pink powder.Even my jeans isn’t black.It’s the colour of the new asphalt.Unfortunately my photo camera was stolen on vacation.Now I have bought the new one and I’m ready to create the photos of my new feminine image as a result of 3 months intensive feminizing exercises,herbal experience and a lot of advices of Feminization Kit and other magical sessions.
Great! Love the colors. And I love your color descriptions – new asphalt, young red wine, sunset seawave – YES!
