5 Crossdressing Tips for Disguising Manly Jaw

To create the illusion of these key feminine features, you need a combination of makeup, feminine clothes, and body language. This is because the features of a beautiful female face don’t come naturally to most MtF crossdressers – particularly the traits of a delicate jaw and chin. The manly jaw is one of the most difficult parts of an MtF crossdresser’s face to disguise. To achieve a more feminine look, you need to start by understanding how your jawline is different from a woman’s.

When you’re crossdressing, your jawline is a powerful tool in determining whether or not someone can tell you’re a man. If you have a strong, square jawline, this can make it very easy for people to tell you that you’re male. First of all, women’s jaws are not as square or angular. If you look at the shape of your own face and draw an imaginary line down the middle, you’ll see that it’s likely more rounded and curved than the lines on either side. Second, women tend to have smaller chins than men do. 

It’s true! The male jawline is very distinctive and obvious. It can make it hard for people to believe that you’re really a woman. But don’t worry—I’ve got the perfect solution for you queens out there! Read below to know more.

Contour your face.

The first thing to do is get rid of any facial hair. This is important because it will help hide the shape of your jaw, which is one of the biggest giveaways when you’re trying to pass as a femme. Shave off any mustache or beard that might be present on your face. Next up: start contouring! Contouring the jawline can be a great way to make your face appear slimmer, and it’s also a foolproof way to disguise a manly jawline when you’re crossdressing.

To contour your face, start with a bronzer or brownish blush that matches your skin tone. This creates a shadow effect which makes strong features appear to recede. Then, sweep it along the sides of your cheeks and down the sides of your nose, blending well into the hairline. Next, use an angled brush to apply a highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and forehead. You’ll also want to apply foundation and powder all over your face to create a smoother look. This will help hide any lines or bumps on your skin. Finally, women tend to have wider mouths than men do. This can be offset by applying lipstick along the edges of lips without touching them directly (this will give them more definition).

Choose a softening hairstyle.

When going out as en femme, your jaw is likely the last thing you want to highlight. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most prominent features on your face and can make you appear more masculine than you’d like.

If you want to disguise your masculine jawline, try a softening wig hairstyle. A great hairstyle is one that creates balance by flattering your face and creating harmony between the different elements of your look. To find the right wig for your needs, it’s important to consider how you want to wear your hair. Do you want to wear it down? Up? Side bangs? A good rule of thumb is to avoid straight styles with very little volume, as they will only make you look more masculine.

For MtF crossdressers who have a strong jawline, choose hairstyles with soft waves that flow over the harsh angles of your face, like Hollywood waves or a bouncy blowout.  If you have a square face, try styles that are shorter in length and focus more on volume at the top. For round faces, look for styles with lots of volume and height. By adding fullness to the top of your head, you can draw attention away from your jawline. Avoid straight hair or severe wig styles—they’ll only highlight the angles of your face and make them look even more manly. Remember, you want to look as feminine as possible. And that means hiding all of the masculine features on your face.

Wear the right neckline.

The right neckline can make all the difference. The wrong neckline can accentuate your masculine jaw and make you appear more masculine than feminine. But if you choose the right one, you can create a flattering frame for your face that makes you look more feminine. It can make all the difference when it comes to hiding your manly jaw. You might not realize that there are so many different necklines that can help you achieve that goal, but there really are. And they’re not all as obvious as you might think. A manly jaw can make you look a little too masculine if it’s framed by a turtleneck or square-cut neckline. Although, technically turtlenecks can hide Adam’s apple.

Instead, try V-neck tops or rounded necklines that will create a flattering frame for your face. If you have a long face, for example, try a scoop-neck shirt or one with an open back to balance out. If you are short and stocky, look for shirts with deep V-necks or ones that hug your shoulders. A high collar can be a bit too much, but you also don’t want to look like you’re wearing a dress shirt. Choose a V-neck with a bit of detail on the collar—like piping or an interesting design—and you’ll have an instantly feminine look! You can also experiment with different fabrics—a shiny satin shirt might be just what you need to show off a more feminine silhouette!

Feminize with accessories.

With the right accessories, you can disguise your masculine features and make yourself look more feminine. The first thing you’ll want to do is soften your jawline. Women have softer faces than men, so you’ll need to find ways to accessorize. A good way to soften the jawline is by using accessories that are more delicate or dainty. Think about how you would style your wig, and use that as a guide for what accessories to pair with your outfit. If you have a long wig hairstyle and want to wear it up, then choose a necklace that has some weight to it but isn’t too heavy. This will give the illusion of a more feminine neckline.

Another is by wearing a scarf around your neck—it will draw attention away from your jawline and make you look more feminine. You should also consider wearing dangling earrings that skim over your jawbone, which will also draw attention away from your masculine features and make you look more feminine.  If you want something simpler, try using an accessory on your wrist. A bracelet or watch can help draw attention away from your face and down toward your hands. And if all else fails, just get some lipstick on! The color red is known for being flattering to everyone. The more distractions from your masculine features there are, the better!

Smile with your lips closed, no teeth showing.

When you’re crossdressing, it’s easy to feel like a fish out of water. You want to look your best and feel confident in your new identity, but you don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself. If you’re trying to pass as a woman, there are some small changes you can make that will help make your disguise more convincing. If you have a prominent jaw or wide smile lines, try smiling with your mouth closed only. One of the biggest giveaways is that you’re not a femme. A square, masculine jaw. So, when you’re dressing up as a lady, try to keep a closed-lip smile and avoid showing off any teeth.

A good way to do this is to imagine you are kissing someone. Then press your lips together so that they are almost touching but not quite. If you practice this in front of the mirror, it will become natural very quickly! You might be thinking: “This is a pretty obvious tip.” And it is. But don’t let that fool you—it’s also one of the most important tips in this article. It may take some practice at first, but soon enough it’ll become second nature! It’s a simple tip that can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself, and it will help you look feminine when crossdressing. It’s not always easy to remember to keep your lips together when you’re feeling like a million bucks in that new dress or that stunning outfit, but it makes such a huge difference!

I hope my tips gave you clarity on how to disguise a manly jaw when crossdressing. It’s important to remember that crossdressing should be a fun time. You shouldn’t be afraid of trying out new looks or techniques. If you feel like your jaw is too square or too masculine, there are lots of ways you can disguise it. Whatever method works for you, just remember: it’s all about finding what makes YOU feel good about yourself.
