How to Feminize Your Face (Crossdressing Tips)

How to Feminize Your Face (Crossdressing Tips)

Your face is the first thing people notice about you. It’s a huge part of your feminine image.

Not surprisingly, there are many subtle and not-so-subtle differences between male and female faces.

So what can you do if you have masculine features?

The good news is that you DON’T have to start shopping for a surgeon!

In this article – written specifically for crossdressers and transgender women – I reveal 7 differences between male and female faces.

Then I go on show you how to feminize your face with the right makeup, hairstyle, and beauty treatments. (No plastic surgery required!)

1. Forehead

    

The forehead isn’t usually the first feminine facial feature that comes to mind – but it’s a key indicator of gender. There are 3 major differences between male and female foreheads:

• Men’s foreheads tend to be higher and wider than women’s foreheads.

• Men have a bony ridge called “brow bossing” that runs across the forehead above the eyes. Women have smooth foreheads.

• Men’s foreheads tend to be slope backward while women’s foreheads are more vertical.

Fortunately, there is an easy, non-surgical fix for disguising a masculine forehead: bangs. Bangs are a must for most crossdressers and transgender women. Here are some tips:

• Go for wispy bangs. Wispy bangs hide your forehead while softening the rest of your facial features.

• Avoid blunt cut bangs. Blunt bangs create a horizontal line across the face, emphasizing the angularity of your features.

• Say “no” to short bangs. Instead, go for bangs that are long enough to fully cover the brow ridge.

2. Eyebrows

       

It’s no secret that men have thicker eyebrows than women. But beyond that, there are other important differences:

• Men’s eyebrows tend to have a straight shape; women’s eyebrows are arched.

• Men have lower eyebrows than women. The eyebrows sit below the orbital rim bone in men and above the orbital rim bone in women.

Updating your eyebrows can change the appearance of your entire face. Here’s how to feminize your eyebrows:

• Visit a salon to have your eyebrows professionally shaped. While it’s easy to pluck your own eyebrows, it’s also easy to overdo it. I recommend having a professional create your ideal shape. Then you can maintain that shape yourself.

• Try Botox. If you want dramatic results, Botox can help you achieve a brow lift without surgery. The eyebrows can be raised by injecting Botox into the muscles that push the brows down. -6 months.

• Create beautiful eyebrows with makeup. Here’s a great tutorial on creating feminine eyebrows – even if you can’t pluck.

3. Eyes

  

Your eyes are the first thing people notice about your face. Beautiful, feminine eyes are a must! Here are the differences between male and female eyes:

• Due to the brow ridge, men’s eyes appear more deeply set than women’s eyes.

• Men’s eyelids tend to be slightly closed, giving the eyes a narrower look.

To feminize your eyes, you need to create the illusion of larger, more open-looking eyes. Here’s how to do it:

• Enhance your lashes. Lush lashes are the key to larger looking eyes. Use an eyelash curler to help open up the eyes and invest in a great mascara.

• Master the art of eye makeup. Learning how to apply eye makeup correctly is one of the most important skills a girl can possess. Here is a great tutorial on creating bigger, brighter eyes:

4. Nose

     

First of all, if you feel self-conscious about your nose, relax! There are loads of beautiful women with prominent noses.

That said, here are the differences between male and female noses:

• Men have longer, wider noses, while women’s noses are shorter and narrower.

• The bridges of men’s noses tend to be straight or arched, while women’s noses tend to be more concave in profile.

Here are some tips for feminizing your nose:

• Bring attention to your other features. The best way to downplay a prominent nose is to enhance your eyes, lips, and cheeks. If you do a good job with the rest of your makeup, your nose should fade into the background.

• Contour your nose with makeup. Nose contouring can be tricky, but it’s a great option for the evening or for photoshoots. (Contouring makeup usually looks too obvious in daylight.) Here’s a tutorial to get you started:

5. Cheeks

        

You probably don’t think much about your cheeks, but they are very important to the overall proportions of your face. Here are the differences between male and female cheeks:

• Men tend to have flatter cheekbones, while women have prominent cheekbones.

• Women have more facial fat, giving the cheeks a fuller, rounder appearance.

Here are some tips for creating fuller, more feminine cheeks:

• Apply blush correctly. A common mistake is to apply a stripe of blush along the bottom of the cheekbones. This enhances the angular appearance of your face. Instead, blush should be applied to the apples of your cheeks. This gives you a feminine glow and creates the illusion of fuller cheeks.

• Try injectable cheek fillers. Injectable fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, or Radiesse can give you fuller, softer-looking cheeks within minutes. These treatments are costly , but they last up to a year and make a huge difference to the overall appearance to your face. An added bonus is that filling your cheeks can give saggy skin a slight lift.

   

DON’T: Blush applied along the cheekbones DO: Blush applied to the apples of your cheeks

6. Lips

     

Lush lips are a symbol of beauty and femininity. Here are the specific differences between male and female lips:

• Men’s lips tend to be thinner than women’s lips – particularly the top lip.

• The distance between the base of the nose and the top lip tends to be longer in men.

Fortunately, it’s very easy to create fuller, more feminine lips:

• Use a lip plumper. For an instant boost, try a cosmetic lip plumper that contains hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid draws moisture to the lips, temporarily plumping them up. (My favorite lip plumpers are Lip Fusion and City Lips.)

• Try injectable lip fillers. Overblown fish lips are a DON’T for any woman, but a subtle boost can really feminize your face. .

• Avoid dark lipstick. Dark lipstick makes your lips look even thinner, so opt for bright, glossy shades instead.

• Enlarge your lips with makeup. Here’s a great tutorial on creating the illusion of larger lips:

7. Chin and jawline

    

While a strong jaw tends to be associated with masculinity, many of the world’s most beautiful women have square jawlines: Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Gweneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, and Gisele Bundchen.

Here are the specific differences between male and female chins and jawlines:

• Men tend to have longer chins than women.

• There is often a sharp angle between a man’s chin and jaw, giving the chin a square look.

• Men’s chins tend to have a flat end, while women’s chins come to a point.

• Men have wider, heavier jaws than women.

Here are some tips for downplaying a masculine chin and jawline:

• Choose a soft, shoulder length hairstyle. Go for wavy, layered hairstyles that gently cover the jawline. Short or chin length hairstyles that reveal your jaw should be avoided if this is a problem area for you. Shoulder length hair is most flattering.

• Contour your jaw with makeup. You can also soften the angles of your chin and jawline with makeup. Here’s a tutorial on contouring square faces:

Looking beautiful isn’t about having perfect features. It’s about working with your natural features to create an overall look of beauty and femininity.

The more of these tips you apply, the more feminine your face will look!
