How to Go All Out When Crossdressing?

Because of the lockdowns due to the pandemic, we haven’t had a chance to showcase our crossdressing skills as much.

For the past year, we’ve been eagerly waiting for society to pick up again so that we can finally be able to strut our tasteful outfits out and about.

However, even though there has been a recent upturn in the social setting, it’s still quite difficult for many today because we’ve become so accustomed to wearing comfy casual clothing and are now more averse to taking them off!

What vibe are we going for? Is it a dramatic feminine look or a much more realistic look?

Nevertheless, wear a statement piece whenever you crossdress if you want to stand out.

If everything else fails and comes down to what’s safe (without being boring), try an LBD–a little black dress.

Of course, to achieve that ultimate femininity, we add accessories such as breast forms and hip pads.

A killer outfit is never complete without the right products that add glamor to our looks, such as primer and bronzers.

Eye shadow and lipstick also go hand in hand to create a gorgeous look.

Finally, getting your new hairstyle is the fun part.

Of course, no matter what wig you choose, be it natural hair, synthetic, or a blend, you can play around with different hairstyles to complete your all-out look!

It’s important to be comfortable when crossdressing.

You want to feel good about the way you look and how you present yourself in public.

If you’re uncomfortable in your clothing, it’s going to be hard to go out and be confident in public.

You want to make sure that everything looks good together and fits.

If you’re uncomfortable, it’s going to show in your posture.

So, make sure that your clothes are comfortable and fit comfortably! And to have fun while doing so.

1. Where do you begin?

There’s always an urge to throw caution to the wind and go “all-out” with our outfit, makeup, and using hip pads or breast forms.

As crossdressers, it’s innate in us to be experimental.

It’s our very nature to be curious and try different things.

The important thing is that we don’t get carried away.

This is not always a bad thing, but it can affect us in the way of going overboard while styling outfits that are too much or even uncomfortable.

When planning to go all out, we need to establish certain looks that bring out our individuality and feminity.

Be it a glammed-up dramatic look or a natural feminine one, we can always look for ideas online or anywhere.

The best way to achieve this correctly is to have all the right tools to help us.

While this will certainly help that process, it’s also important to remember that being thrifty doesn’t mean sacrificing one’s style.

2. Dress to make a statement

The first thing we need to do is find a great statement piece.

The perfect piece should fit our body type, reflect our style, and stay in line with our personality.

There are different kinds of statement pieces, some with standout details and bold and unique styles.

For example, a printed headwrap is one type of statement piece that can help accentuate other outfits or give them a whole different look altogether.

In contrast, wearing one color might be best suited for an outfit that we want to let speak for itself, which draws attention via color rather than added aesthetic details.

If one is adventurous, combine two (or more!) statement pieces into one look by layering so they work with rather than against each other.

On the other hand, the 80’s trend going around now where everyone is wearing white acts as a completely blank canvas and makes anything go!

On a budget? Make a statement piece with a red accessory.

It will for sure attract attention from everyone.

3. Must-have makeup products to add glamor

There’s nothing wrong with adding a little glamour to your life.

Adding a bit of flash and a little bit of bling will dress mood up your day and make it feel a little bit fancier.

While you don’t have to go all out and add everything, a little bit here and there will make your day feel a little more special and a little more memorable.

Whether we’re heading to a high-class party, having a casual date, or simply want to try out new makeup techniques and create a look that suits us – it never hurts to try something new.

The best way to define and highlight our features is with makeup.

It’s a great way to enhance our natural beauty, but it’s also tempting to add too much.

Unless we want to look like we’re in the circus, it’s best not to! Here is an extensive list of the best makeup products to use when you want to add glamor to your look!

First things first, we need to prep our faces. Primer is the answer to this.

Once prepped, we’ll need a good basic foundation and concealer to cover up blemishes and imperfections.

Next, bronzer and highlighter to essentially pop our features.

We’ll also want a blush because it can improve our complexion and a good eyeshadow palette and eyeliner.

Some use eyeliners to line the inside of their eyes and make them sparkle.

Last, you’ll want a good quality mascara.

We can even use waterproof mascara, which can be a great alternative for rainy days.

And don’t forget that bold, red lipstick to complete the look.

Finding the right products for our face can be a challenge, and mistakes happen, whether an allergic reaction to certain products or a bad foundation match.

That’s why it’s important to test new products out on smaller areas of our face before committing to full coverage.

Knowing what makeup products we need is just as important as applying them correctly.

Try and experiment as much as possible.

4. Adding breast forms and hip pads

For many of us, breast forms are a source of joy, especially in how realistic they feel.

A must-have, these lovely realistic breast forms help us feel our most feminine.

We can use them to pad up our chest to give the appearance of a voluptuous chest, and voila!

We have a feminine body that looks great in a sexy dress.

Whether slipped into a bra or attached with adhesive to allow us to wear strapless looks, it’s natural to desire to add them to our femme accessories.

Hip pads are the best option by which we can add more volume with regard to our shape.

Different shapes and sizes of hip pads help us enhance our body’s curves.

It is the perfect way to change the definition of our body.

Making our hips look fuller and our waist smaller.

Hip pads help to shape our bodies, making us look curvier.

If one is going to wear these pads during the day and night, we should use the adhesive that comes recommended by the manufacturer and attach the pads per the directions listed on their website.

Although wearing it for a long time can be uncomfortable due to the crinkling, try using an additional dose of adhesive to help control this.

5. What wigs should I get?

Finding the right wig for us can be a bit tricky. N

ot only do we have to consider the color and length, but we also want to make sure it matches our skin tone and our personality.

If we’re going to an event or just want to get a new look, it’s important to have the right wig.

The right wig can make us look like a new person.

There are a wide variety of wigs on the market, ranging in price and quality.

Make sure the cut and style work with your face, body, and style when choosing a wig.

It’s also important to know that our wig will probably require styling on our part.

There are also many style accessories that we can use to accentuate our hair and our outfits.

Many crossdressers are looking for different styles of wigs.

For example, if we want to be on-trend, we would want to go with a short bob style.

On the other hand, if going for a natural feminine look, go for a long wig.

No matter what hairstyle one prefers, it’s important to wear a wig cap to protect our natural hair.

6. Realistic or dramatic look?

Crossdressers have just as much need for being up-to-date in our fashion sense as anyone else.

A dramatic feminine look will often involve adding the essential finishing touches and going above and beyond the general standard of style.

For the more daring fans of fashion, the emphasis is placed on doing more rather than less.

When we go for a dramatic look (going all out), we tend to add all the appropriate extras to make sure our ensemble is complete (extra lashes, makeup, hip pads, etc.) and that we’ll stand out.

By adding these statement pieces to our dramatic look, we’re setting trends and influencing fellow crossdressers – who may not be as bold but will follow suit nonetheless!

Depending on one’s personality type, a more realistic feminine look might be just our cup of tea.

You don’t have to include a lot of makeup; perhaps a little hairstyling will do. 

Going all-out with our look now and then isn’t a bad thing.

After all, it’s important to embrace as much of who we are as crossdressers.

To achieve the best all-out look, some things, from outfits and makeup to wigs, should be considered.

All these contribute to enhancing our feminine side, which allows us to shine through!
