Make-up Hacks

Of course, wearing makeup is an essential part of our crossdressing sessions because it makes our face look smoother and more flawless, perfecting that girly look we desire. However, not all make-up products are good for the summer.

1. Choosing Sweat-Proof Products

When you go out or spend time at the beach, it’s normal to sweat, especially with the summer heat. Sweating is definitely not our best friend during crossdressing because it can ruin our makeup and make us look oily. With this, I always tell my crossdresser friends to choose sweatproof make-up products because they will last longer!

● Wearing Sunscreen for Protection

One of the most important makeup hacks you should never neglect is wearing sunscreen. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, and you should always apply it before you put on makeup. I recommend choosing sunscreens with at least SPF 30 to ensure that you’re getting the maximum sun protection you need for your crossdressing days.

● Investing in A Primer

My advice? Invest in a sweat-proof primer! Applying a primer before putting on make-up is essential to help prep your skin, preventing any allergies or skin irritations. A sweat-proof primer also helps create a more flawless finish, ensuring that the make-up hides the bumps and blemishes on our faces and makes us look more feminine!

I always use my sweat-proof primer, especially during summer, and I can guarantee that your skin will feel soft even when you’re wearing makeup the entire day!

2. Wearing Smudge-Proof Make-Up

Summer will not be complete without swimming in the pool or at the beach, and you must choose smudge-proof products that will not wear off after taking a dip in the water!

● Foundation

The right foundation for summer should be smudge-proof while still providing the perfect coverage to hide your facial bumps, blemishes, and most especially, your beard shadow. I also recommend choosing a foundation with a matte finish to prevent oiliness, especially around your t-zone area.

● Mascara

I know how important it is to wear mascara, especially because we want our lashes to look as long and as curled as women’s are, and the summer heat should not stop you from looking girly and appealing as you desire!

A good smudge-proof mascara will not make your eyes look black while ensuring that your lashes look fine the entire crossdressing day!

● Lipstick

Lipsticks are your best friends in helping your lips look fuller and more kissable, and a smudge-proof lipstick stays long even after spending an entire summer day out crossdressing. Personally, I prefer matte ones because they feel better on my lips. Matte lipsticks also provide a better finish and prevent your lips from feeling sticky.

● Setting Spray

When you’re done with your makeup look, setting spray is one important product you should apply to prevent your makeup from wearing off with the summer heat. A good quality setting spray keeps your makeup intact and secure and ensures your face looks smooth and unblemished the entire crossdressing day.

Tips on Choosing Crossdressers’ Accessories

Different body shaping accessories and the wigs we wear are essential for us crossdressers, but it can get too hot when we wear them during summer. These accessories are sweat creators, and we may feel uncomfortable crossdressing when producing too much sweat.

3. The Ideal Breast Form

I know the common breast forms we wear are silicone, but they can be very uncomfortable and cause our chest area to sweat too much! When there’s too much sweat, silicone breast forms can eventually move and fall off.

To prevent this hassle, I recommend foam breast forms that are more lightweight and less sticky on the skin. I also recently discovered breast form’s cool version because they feel less hot and are perfect for the summer weather! If you wish to try the cool version, I recommend choosing the elastic cotton filler because it feels lighter and more breathable on your chest.

Don’t forget to wear a necklace or a choker when wearing breast forms to prevent people from noticing the color difference with your natural skin complexion.

4. Selecting A Good Synthetic Wig

The best wig to wear during the summer months is a synthetic wig. Synthetic fibers are more lightweight than natural hair, making you feel cooler and comfortable without sweating too much. Artificial wigs can also hold their shape better because a wig made of human hair will behave like natural hair strands.

If you’re asking which hairstyle is best to beat the heat, I suggest short wigs because they will feel cooler on the head. Light-haired wigs are also better because they will absorb less heat compared to darker ones.

Another bonus tip: don’t forget to wear your wig caps! They serve as an additional layer between your head and the wig, helping you feel more comfortable even with the summer heat. Additionally, wig caps help secure your wigs, especially when you want to take a dip in the pool.

Deciding on What to Wear

Summer calls for various stylish pieces, but you have to be smart enough with your decisions to keep you cool and comfortable even when it’s too hot! Here are my top suggestions, which I also learned from my stylist.

5. Maxi Dresses Are A Thing

Maxi dresses should be part of your summer wardrobe essential! They are loose to keep you cool and fresh, and it’s fairly easy to style them without the need to tuck your private in too much.

Additionally, I love wearing maxi dresses because they hide the fact that our hips and butt are not as round as we desire them to be. With this, you can skip those hip pads and butt enhancements because it won’t really show when wearing this dress type.

Avoid tight-fitting clothes because they can make you sweat even more! When your outfits are tight, you also need to wear all the body shapers you need to make you look feminine during crossdressing.

6. Peplum Skirts Are Great Choices Too

Peplum skirts are my personal favorite too! They are great choices for the summer because peplum skirts help make your legs feel cool and fresh all day. I love even more that I don’t need to wear any hip pads with peplum skirts. They naturally make your hips look wider, creating the hourglass body shape all crossdressers desire.

Pair your maxi dresses and peplum skirts with a cute pair of sandals, and you’ll definitely look like the girliest crossdresser out there while basking in the summer heat!

The Perfect Crossdresser’s Swimsuit

Even swimsuits should be perfect too! As crossdressers, you must choose the best swimwear to make you look fabulous as you shoot your beach photos or swim in the pool.

7. Swimsuit Styles Matter

I know there are several swimsuit styles to choose from, but the most important thing you should consider is how your chosen style can create curves to make your bodies look more feminine. Here are my chosen types of swimwear I commonly look for:

• Bikini tops with ruching or ruffles can make your chest area look bigger because they add volume.

• Padded bikini tops are also my favorite because they make my boobs look rounder, and they are best paired with waterdrop- or round-shaped breast forms. You can perfectly hide these breast form shapes underneath your bikini tops; no one can even tell you’re wearing one!

• For your bottom, choose skirted ones. They add more volume around your hips, making them appear wider and with more shape. Skirted bottoms are also looser, so people won’t immediately notice when your private part is not tucked in properly.

8. Other Helpful Swimsuit Tips

My stylist also shared some of the most helpful tips on choosing swimsuits, and I’ll share them below:

• Patterned swimsuits are also excellent choices. They conceal any bulge, including your beer belly (if you have one), and create an illusion of a bigger chest area!

• To make your shoulders look narrower, go with wider straps for your tops or one-piece swimsuits. Pieces with asymmetrical necklines are also great!

• For a more proper tucking, my stylist suggests wearing two bikini bottoms to ensure no bulge down there. Wearing a gaff is also useful, ensuring that your private part stays tucked and in place when wearing swimsuits.

• To help make your breasts appear fuller and perkier, wear a pair of bikini tops with an underwire.

Beat the Heat with Your Summer Look

The summer heat should not stop us from wearing what we want and feeling confident and feminine during our crossdressing sessions. I love wearing short and light-colored synthetic wigs and pairing them with a bright maxi dress to look stylish. For my swimsuit, I prefer padded bikini tops with round-shaped breast forms, making me look girly and sexy!
