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.

Hi Lucille! I love your blog! There is so much to explore and you provide so much great advice in a fun and informative way. I can tell you spend as much time picking great and fun topics as you do describing them. Mostly, I love how your energy, enthusiasm and genuine passion for what you do comes out in each and every blog post. Lots of us get hung up on ourselves, but your blog reminds us to simply have fun and enjoy the sheer joy of becoming women. I especially love the polls and have already done a few of them–though, somehow, I’m always in the minority. I’m in the 6% who wears their hair ‘very long’ (because that’s my real hair that I’m blessed with–even my real sisters compliment me on it) and the 1% who suggested another celebrity woman that ages gracefully (I like Michelle Pfeiffer and you left her out). Oh, I forgot this is the hair page–which is why I’m here: I’d really love to see more blog posts on hair styles, especially updos for longer hair. Thanks Lucille!

You look great! I really like the dress and the shoes.
I was happy to realize that I usually follow most of your wonderful tips. I am also over the age of 60, but few realize it. One other suggestion might be for all of us girls to lose extra weight whenever possible.
