MtF Transgender Beauty Tips: Enhancing Your Feminine Charm

Who better understands the importance of being confident in one’s own skin than transgenders?

In the first place, trans individuals are pushed to transition because they don’t feel right in their own skin.

But even then, there will still be insecurities. 

These MTF transgender beauty tips aim to help our trans darlings feel confident in their feminine presentation.

More than the trans community, this guide can also be used by MTF crossdressers, femboys, and others hoping to be naturally feminine or femulate.

What is Feminine Charm?

The feminine charm refers to anything society finds attractive and automatically links it to traditional notions of femininity.

Today, we are aware that feminine traits are not exclusively for biological women.

So, anyone, whatever their gender identity, can nurture and learn feminine charm.

Moreover, feminine charm not only refers to physical appearance but emphasizes confidence, grace, and self-expression.

Then, we can say a man who enjoys taking care of children or being an effective homemaker has a distinctly feminine charm.

Saying so doesn’t influence his gender. It means he channels characteristics seen in traditional women.

Such include being patient, caring, and nurturing.

Importance of Feminine Charm for MtF Trans

Learning how to channel feminine charm assists MTF transgenders to feel more confident.

When traditional feminine qualities are linked to an MTF transgender, they will feel validated and more comfortable in their identity.

Moreover, enhancing feminine charm will boost their self-esteem and help them move more naturally within social interactions.

Top 7 MtF Transgender Beauty Tips

The following top MTF transgender beauty tips are in no way just catering to stereotypes.

Instead, they are proven recommendations that draw out feminine charm.

They just happen to align with old traditions of what it means to be womanlike.

Take care of your skin

I have never understood why men are given a hard time when they enjoy skincare.

In the trans community, it’s a no-brainer to take care of the skin.

Not only for beauty purposes but also because skin is the largest organ of the human body.

A person can exchange their heart. But skin? Not possible.

Skin regenerates every 27 days. But this doesn’t mean you’re free from the obligation of taking care of your skin.

Every day, as we move about, our skin loses moisture. It’s a natural process we can’t control. So what can we do about it?

Invest in a good skincare routine. This includes cleansing, moisturizing, and using sunscreen.

Stay hydrated for a glowing skin. Drink at least eight glasses of water each day.

This isn’t just a reminder your science teacher told you about. It’s a fact that humans need to drink plenty of water to stay healthy.

Take the extra steps and exfoliate your skin through facemasks or body scrubs.

Be careful what products you use and be sure not to exfoliate too much and too often.

You can exfoliate 2 to 3 times per week, but check if your skin can handle it first.

Say goodbye to body hair

You already know this. Body hair is natural, yes, but women are expected to have hairless bodies.

Some will say this expectation is wholly about catering to what men find attractive in women.

In reality, hair is removed to avoid odor caused by bacteria breeding within the hair.

Less body hair is less about pandering to the male gaze and more about basic hygiene and personal appearance.

MTF transgender understand this and already have knowledge of various hair removal methods.

Shaving is the traditional way. It’s cheap but will require frequent maintenance.

Waxing keeps the hair from growing fast but isn’t great for sensitive skin.

Laser is the best option, especially for transwomen, as it permanently removes body hair.

It’s expensive though.

No matter what method you use, always moisturize the skin to keep it supple and healthy.

Spend time learning makeup and haircare/styling

As an MTF transgender, you should not limit yourself to just a few makeup techniques and haircare/styling knowledge.

It’s healthy to continue experimenting with makeup and hair for discoveries that enhance your appearance.

The most convenient way to learn is to follow accounts and channels focused on beauty.

Of course, not every piece of information will be helpful to you, so you need to be wary about what media you consume.

Additionally, you can also seek professional advice or attend makeup workshops for personalized guidance.

Wear “shaper” products

Body shaper products are the secret weapons of MTF transgender individuals and crossdressers alike.

These products such as hip pads, breast forms, and butt pads, enhance your curves, making you appear more womanlike.

These products make it easy to re-create the feminine silhouette so you can feel more attuned and confident in your body.

Shop for feminine clothing and accessories

You may have a different fashion preference or style. But once in a while, shop for traditional feminine clothing and accessories.

The women’s shelves have various styles to explore. Don’t cage yourself within a default style.

For instance, some MTF transgender prefer wearing pants or gender-neutral clothing.

Maybe they think it’s the most comfortable.

But it can also be because they’re afraid to appear more feminine and receive curious looks or comments.

The next time you shop, buy something obviously girly. This can be a pink skirt or a flowery dress.

How about some colorful, tight tops or cute handbags? Then, add a pair of hot red stiletto shoes to your cart.

Try the ensemble at home. What do you like? What don’t you like? What better pairs with what?

Realizing your fashion style should not be muted and that you’re free to stand out will make you feel more confident in yourself throughout your transition.

Always smell nice

This tip is something I’ve learned throughout the years. I’m not saying all men don’t smell nice.

But you can’t deny women are often more appealing to our sense of smell.

Our sense of smell is a crucial sensory part that enriches our experience of the world around us.

Scents affect our mood or recall certain memories.

Use this psychological info to your advantage! The feminine charm heavily involves personal hygiene, why?

Well, someone who smells nice is someone you’ll want to stay close to.

There are many tips under this category:

Avoiding smelly food, aka garlic and some cheeses

Having regular showers

Spoiling yourself with hygiene products that, admittedly, can be costly

Practicing oral hygiene and visiting the dentist’s office regularly

Picking the most complementing perfume

These activities may seem overwhelming and require a lot of effort. But they’re crucial to being attractive to others.

When you know others want to stay close, you feel more self-assured.

Learn the feminine gait

Only looking the part doesn’t cut it. You should also learn the feminine gait — moving in a more fluid and delicate way.

Learning how to exude femininity through your walk and gestures is a critical element of your feminine charm.

You appear docile and alluring. This elegance elevates how others perceive you and will make them want to stay close.

Additionally, for an MTF transgender, seeing a ciswoman doing or moving the same way you do is an excellent confidence booster as you realize you’re already becoming a true woman.

To practice and learn the feminine gait, choose a celebrity or anyone who has an extensive video collection of them online from various media.

Watch how they move. A popular choice for this is Marilyn Monroe who is best known for her feminine movements.

Conclusion

Being an MTF transgender is not all about looking and moving like a woman. It’s more than that, of course.

But these MTF transgender beauty tips immensely help you feel more comfortable in your skin.

There’s nothing wrong with interpreting femininity in the way traditional way others did.

Embrace your femininity, enhance your feminine charm, and feel confident in who you are as a whole.
