Are you a crossdresser or transgender woman who wants to look as attractive as possible? If so, you’re in the right place!
The great news is that anyone can achieve a beautiful and feminine look – no matter their age, size, or shape.
However, there are certain image mistakes you’ll want to steer clear of. These blunders can significantly detract from a feminine appearance.
In this blog post on transgender beauty tips, I’ll be sharing 10 common MTF image mistakes to avoid.
1. Dry Or Cracked Lips
The lips are one of the most sensuous parts of a woman’s appearance. Full, moist lips are undeniably sexy.
Dry, cracked lips are a major distraction, so be sure to care for your lips with a nourishing balm or lip treatment.
2. Dirty Or Untrimmed Nails
Studies show that the better groomed you are, the more attractive you are perceived to be.
Keeping your hands and nails well groomed is important since hands are one of the first areas people notice (after the face).
Straggly nails are a sign of poor grooming habits, so pay extra attention to your hands and fingernails to enhance your feminine look.
3. Crossing Your Arms
Your body language speaks volumes. Crossing your arms is a defensive gesture that can make you look uneasy or insecure.
To project confidence and attractiveness when presenting as female, keep your body in an open and relaxed position.
4. Poor Table Manners
Etiquette is an important part of your feminine presentation. (So much so that I wrote an entire blog post about it here.)
Poor table manners are a huge turn off, so be watchful for things like: eating too fast, chewing loudly, and putting your elbows on the table.
5. Lack Of Sleep
They call it beauty sleep for a reason. From dark under eye circles to sallow skin, lack of sleep can take a serious toll on your appearance.
If you need help sleeping, check out my Sleep & Sparkle Program, which is designed to guide you to sleep while reprogramming your mind with feminizing suggestions.
6. Pulling The Diva Act
We can all agree that rude and demanding people are unattractive – so avoid the “diva” act.
On the other hand, kindness and a smile can work wonders to enhance your female appearance!
7. An Unnaturally High Pitched Voice
If you are trying to feminize your voice, then you may be tempted to speak in an overly high-pitched voice.
While it’s true that women have higher pitched voices, speaking in “falsetto” does not sound natural.
What’s more, this study shows that women with high pitched voices are considered less attractive than those with moderately-high pitched voices.
All the more reason to speak in a more natural vocal range!

8. Overpowering scents
Scent has a major impact on your overall attractiveness. Obviously, you’ll want to avoid turning people off with overpowering perfume or bad breath.
On the flip side, the right scent can make you appear more feminine and attractive. See my post on The Feminizing Power of Perfume to learn more.
9. Not Being Able To Walk In Your Shoes
The cutest shoes in the world won’t enhance your image if you can’t walk in them. Be sure you can walk comfortably and gracefully in your heels before stepping out in them.
10. Cursing
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Using profanity when you speak doesn’t make you sound cool and edgy – it makes you sound crass and rude.
Your words can make or break your feminine image, so use them wisely.
In conclusion
These are 10 major crossdressing / transgender beauty blunders – but they’re not the only ones! Do you have any others to add to this list?

Such fabulous suggestions …yay !! I would add wearing too much makeup as it does not make you look more attractive but rather less attractive.
Just love these girly discussions, thank you !

Hello Lisa-Marie, I think a pair of these might come in handy…

All these are wonderfully true and I’m pleased to say I make a point of not doing or minimizing them … well most of them – still working on the occasional ‘potty mouth’ gurl *blushes*
I find also that sitting & standing posture is critical. I see so many gurls sitting or standing with leg wide apart. Now I know that maybe there are ‘obstacles’ in the way but learning to sit with knees together and standing with legs as closed as possible are important feminine characteristics.
Now, back to my ‘natural-as-possible’ feminine voice training 🙂
Yes your a very beautifull Beverly DeAngelo. Look a like . Teehee.. no your very pretty indeed .
All GREAT tips!
Also good for the guys to observe.
The tip on language is REALLY appropriate (for everyone). Verbal abuse and cursing shows a ‘lack of manners’.
May I also add that grammar will show you education (& lack).
Correct grammar always shows your ‘social class’ — for lack of a better description.
This list of unattractive things to avoid is my new best friend! thanks so much to Lucille & her staff!!!xoxoxoxo!
