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

Hi,Lucille
I’ve tried something new and I would like to tell about it.I’ve tried to run in heels over 2 inch as in sport shoes and I really have done it. I’ve run around the field near my house 3 km.After this extreme my feet ached badly.But the most important that after this to walk in high heels more easy as I walk in plain slippers.I’ve learned audio self hypnosis over a year,both relaxation and feminization,contacted with the well-known hypnotist from many countries by e-mail and they have taughted how to create my own self hypnosis program individually for me.And recently I’ve created 2-modeled feminization program .One is audio programme,including Ericsonian method and subliminial effects and other is set of self feminizing suggestions for daily routine.And it really works.I’ve described how it works in the last comment very detailed,but the text occured very long and the Submit comment button couldn’t save it.If it interesting I can tell about it in the next comment. I’ve made the newest photos of my feminization process.The specific in it, is these photos are made through the large looking-glass and maybe some ripples.
I like Julie Newmar!
Talk about a picture doing justice, the jury isn’t out they are in and you look great
Wow! You’ve got a great shape! What’s your secret? 😉
No doubt about it, Demi and Sharon are more sexys now than 10 years before, and Sofia loren is incredible with more than seventies!!
So true! It’s great to see these women getting better and better with age.
Michelle Pfeiffer would’ve ben my first choice. Perfectly ageless.
Yes, I agree! After I published the list, I starting thinking of ALL the other super hot women over 40. (Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Iman …) Narrowing it down to 15 was an impossible task.
I am 66 and still going strong. Thanks Lucille
Hugs and kisses.

Hi Ladies,
This is a pic of me at the GLBT Wedding Expo in Dallas last weekend. I was asked to model for the fashion show and had an absolutely fabulous time! I modeled two bridal gowns and one bridesmaid dress. Truely a dream come true, being able to strut down a runway, wearing beautiful dresses! It was amazing! The dresses were designed by Alfred Angelo.
The MC of the Fashion show was Celebrity Stylist Daniel Lewis from Shear Genius fame. He paid me a huge compliment as he was introducing me to the audience for my 3rd dress. He said “Doesn’t Catherine look absolutely beautiful in this dress. Of course from being with Catherine before the show I’ve learned that Catherine looks beautiful in everything!” That was amazing! I was beaming as I strutted down the runway, pausing at the end, struck a pose, did a couple of turns with pauses for picture takers. Then turned and did my very best feminine walk back to the start of the runway. Then my escort dressed in a very smart tuxedo walked me back to the end of the runway and off. A lady in the audience told my escort as we were walking off, you got the prettiest girl! My escort said yes I know! It was truely a memory I will never forget.
Lucille all your tips are right on, I love you. You are a true blessing to our community!
I am 52yrs old ladies and having the time of my life!
Hugs,
Catherine
What a fantastic story! And you look absolutely lovely!
Sorry forgot to say I’m 70
