What makes a woman’s character? Our appearance is not always determined by our chromosomes. Some men have typical feminine features, and some women possess masculine features. Human sexuality is made up of different beliefs, traits, and behaviors. ^{[1] X Research Source} It’s not enough to wear makeup and socks to look like a woman. In order to look like a real woman, you also have to take into account a host of other complex aspects. For people who are born male, this is difficult, even a terrible endeavor. Whether you are transgender or just pretending to be a girl for fun, this article will help you achieve a convincing femininity.

Looks like a woman

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/80/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-1.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/80/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-1 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Think about the overall picture. Take some time to think about what kind of woman you want to be. This greatly affects the next steps. How old are you? What is your body type? Style do you prefer? Picture the woman you aspire to be. You will be a noble, disruptive, fashionable woman, even a pure girl like an angel? The look you want will change over time, and your outfit choices can vary from day to day.

Remember to consider how you dress for special occasions and in everyday life. Flashy or provocative outfits won’t be appropriate if you often want to look like a woman in a professional setting, but you can wear more sexy outfits when you’re out in the nightclub.
If you want to look like a woman at a party or an event, feel free to “undress” and choose bold outfits.
Get fashion inspiration from close girlfriends. Notice the features you like in their dress.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c9/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-2.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c9/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-2 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Take a shower. Bathing is the first step to looking like a woman. You can handle a lot of things in the shower such as shaving, shampooing and body cleaning, generally clean from head to toe. Women usually have smooth skin, clean, shiny hair and a fragrant body, so take it easy. Maybe you also have to spend a little in this step.

Buy a good razor. Cheap razors can irritate the skin, and body hair will quickly grow back.
Choose scented shampoos and conditioners. Women’s products often have different scents than men’s products.
Buy loofah bath sponges and shower gel. These products help you slough off dead skin cells, leaving your skin clean and smooth.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c5/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c5/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-3 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Remove body hair. A thorough shave after showering is essential to looking like a woman. Get a new razor and don’t rush it. You also need to remember to be gentle to avoid skin irritation. Use more shaving cream and a three or more blade razor to keep burning to a minimum. If you want a more complete treatment, you can try waxing, electrolysis, or even permanent laser hair removal, but be sure to consult a professional before doing so.

Shave whole body hair. If you haven’t shaved in a while, you should spend a little longer in the shower. You may have to change several razor blades, so be prepared.
In more sensitive areas such as the abdomen or armpits, you need to avoid shaving too many times, but instead give several long, even strokes in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Use moisturizer after shaving. The moisturizer will leave you with soft and feminine skin, while soothing freshly shaved skin. Remember to choose ice cream with a scent that you like.

Trim eyebrows. Women usually have thinner eyebrows than men. Get rid of ingrown eyebrows by clamping firmly on the root of the eyebrow hair and plucking it out. For those fancy brows you may need to visit a esthetician, but trimming your brows is something that can be easily done at home.

The brow line should start above the inner corner of the eye, at a distance of about 2.5 cm. ^{[2] X Research Source} Remember to pluck the “stray” eyebrows in the middle.
The tail of the eyebrow should extend to the upper outer corner of the eye, about 2.5 cm away. ^{[3] X Research Source} Pull out any outer brow hairs.
Pull out the hairs that grow underneath until they form a natural arc. The highest point of the brow should be above the outer edge of the eye. ^{[4] X Research Source} Removes scattered eyebrow hairs below the brow arch. You should take it slow when performing this step and remember to align your eyebrows with an even thickness.
Redness and sometimes swelling in the area where the eyebrows have just been plucked are natural and will gradually go away.

Nail care. You need to keep your nails clean and neatly trimmed. Even though your nails are relatively clean in the shower, you may still need to use nail polish remover to remove any stains. File your nails to smooth out rough nail edges.

If you like, you can paint your nails. Gloss always gives you a classy look, but there are countless other options. You can paint it bright red or reflective to make it stand out; If you prefer more subdued colors, choose nude tones, such as beige or silver.
Get a manicure if you have a lot of mango scratches, stubborn stains, or ugly scars. A professional manicurist will trim, polish and paint your nails for you.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-6 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Hair styling. A simple clean hair will make you look like a woman, but you also need to put some effort into caring for curly hair, coarse hair and long hair. In general, you need to comb your hair thoroughly and use styling products if you have curly or frizzy hair.

Going to a hairdresser is also a good idea. A good hairstylist not only knows the latest hairstyles, they also know what looks best on you. They can recommend the right products for your hair. You can come up with a hairstyle you like, but you should also be open to new ideas.
Do a simple hairstyle unless you are used to it. There are countless articles and YouTube videos that teach you how to create simple hairstyles.
You should practice doing different hairstyles long before going to an event. There’s nothing more stressful than struggling with a new hairstyle at the last minute!
If you plan to be a woman for a long time, grow your hair to the desired length.
Wearing a wig is also very interesting. Wigs come in a variety of styles, colors, textures, and lengths, so you can find the right haircut for your style. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/43/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/43/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-7 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Apply foundation. This step can be very different from person to person, but in general, foundation is the most important part when you want to look like a woman. The foundation helps to hide the flaws and the sagging beard on both sides of the jawbone. You should look for a concealer and/or liquid foundation that closely matches your skin tone and a powder of the same color to “hold” your makeup and create a natural feminine look.

Go to a cosmetics store with makeup consultants for guidance. This is very important if you have never used foundation before. They will tell you which brand is best for your skin type and pocket.
If you plan to buy online, read reviews before choosing a foundation. Be sure to look for the one with maximum coverage.
Apply moisturizer and primer before applying foundation; so the next makeup steps will be much easier and more beautiful. Use your fingers or a makeup sponge to blend foundation to blur the lines between makeup and skin.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2e/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2e/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-8 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Make up. Think about whether you want a more sophisticated or natural makeup look, and remember no matter what style you choose, don’t overdo it. You don’t want your face to look like a clown, do you? Lipstick, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara are the makeup products that you can choose from.

If you want a natural look, just a little mascara and eyeliner will suffice.
For a more striking look, you can add eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick.
Beginners often tend to wear too much makeup. Remember to adjust your makeup to suit the situation. The elegant, classy style will make you look very feminine.
Makeup for women is already difficult; Be patient and ask your friends for help. Just practice hard and you’ll be good at it.
Look for makeup tutorials on YouTube for more sophisticated makeup, like cat eye or smoky eyeshadow.

Dress like a woman

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/39/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/39/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-9 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose an outfit. To dress like a woman, you need to take care from head to toe, starting from the top or skirt. The color of the dress will depend on your own style. If you want an office look, you should choose neutral colors, but if you are preparing for an evening out, choose bright colors and striking textures. In addition, choosing a top or skirt that flatters your figure is also important.

Choose a top or skirt that best suits your body type. A deep neckline will distract attention from broad shoulders, so dresses like this are often a great choice for a woman’s look. The key here is to recognize your body shape and adjust.
If you have a round figure and a full belly, don’t choose a shirt that exposes your belly. ^{[6] X Research Source} Stretchy fabrics like ppyester are usually very comfortable.
If you have overly muscular arms, you might consider using a scarf to cover it up when wearing a sleeveless top.
Various types of corsets, panties, breast implants and body shaping products are also available in the market.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-10 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose pants or skirts. Slim people will easily find jeans that show off their figure, and a long skirt will help you show off your seductive curves. You may have to go to the fashion store a few times to choose the right items. Be careful when buying pants or skirts online, as they may not be the right size.

The goddess dress (a skirt style with a high waist that reaches below the bust) is a great place to start. This skirt shape will look great on those with small hips and flat bottoms.
Go shopping with a girlfriend to get more recommendations.
Conceal the bulge in the intimate area. This point is definitely not feminine at all.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b5/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b5/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-11 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Select accessories. On the market today there are many beautiful accessories such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and hair clips. Try to coordinate the accessories with the outfit you are wearing to harmonize.

Choosing similar colors is a good idea. For example, if you’re wearing a white top with a green skirt, wear a white flower in your hair or wear a green bracelet.
Don’t wear too many accessories. Three accessories worn at the same time is more than enough.
Jewelry can be quite expensive, but stores often also sell reasonably priced items alongside precious pieces.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4d/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4d/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-12 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose shoes. The shoes must be comfortable but still have style. Women don’t always wear heels, so you don’t have to torture your feet! Flat shoes may be better because men are usually taller than women, so high heels will make you look taller than others. Again, remember to consider the setting. If you have to walk a lot or stand all day, you will not be comfortable with high heels.

High heels will stretch your calves, making them appear larger. This is even more true if your legs are already muscular.
Ballet shoes are not too expensive but feminine, moreover there are many colors and styles to choose from.
If you still like to wear heels, you should try walking first at home to get used to walking in high heels.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-13 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Take a look at your appearance. Stand in front of a mirror from head to toe and turn around so you can see from any angle. Consider whether your outfit is out of style or out of style. If so, you must replace it immediately! Being a woman also includes taking time to get ready. Give yourself an extra hour to prepare, in case you need to change something up at the last minute.

Act like a woman

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c5/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c5/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-14 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Be sensitive. Acting like a woman means embodying traits commonly associated with women such as empathy, sincerity, tenderness, and care. ^{[7] X Research Resources} You can watch movies and read books themed around strong female characters to understand more of these personalities. Remember, in general, women are seen as gentle and caring.

One of the easiest ways to understand female characteristics is to be around women. Gather your girlfriends and start a reading club, schedule a wine night or go out one day of the week.
Be empathetic with others and considerate of those around you.
Women don’t usually act aggressively, so try to be accepting and assertive in a gentle way.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-15 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

There are graceful gestures. Improve your posture and understand that even small feminine gestures matter. It is well known that women often use gestures while speaking, and this makes their conversations more personal and feminine. ^{[8] X Research Source} Notice the gestures and facial expressions of the women around you and try to imitate them.

Smiling and playing with hair are two common gestures seen by women. Practice these gestures in front of the mirror to look natural.
Try to take small steps and move gracefully, avoiding long steps and forceful movements. This will make it easier for you to move around.
Standing up straight will also help you look more confident and feminine.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2a/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22- As-a-Woman-Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2a/%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-16 .jpg/v4-728px-%22Pass%22-As-a-Woman-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,” licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Voice practice. In addition to looking like a woman, you also need to sound like a woman. Female voices are often not only high-pitched, but also richer in melody. Women also tend to pick up on the vocal patterns of those around them. So find a female friend to imitate their voice.

Be active! The best practice is to talk to real people in social situations. This will help you to improve, so don’t be shy or hesitant.
There are also videos, articles and voice training tutorials online. Spend a few hours on the internet looking for practical methods.
If you are not satisfied with the results, you should consider finding a voice professional.

Advice

If you know a girl who supports you, ask her to help. Many girls are happy to give you honest advice and reviews.
No one can always be like a woman. Handle awkward situations with humor, and you won’t have too much trouble.
If you decide to live like a woman for the rest of your life, consider hormone therapy and surgery. You will have a permanent feminine body shape. Your doctor can give you more information about this.
Confidence is key.
Fashion magazines will give you some ideas. Fashion websites can also help you stay trendy.
Wear a padded bra with or without breast pads to enhance your figure and outfit.
When you walk, put one foot in front of the other and shake your hips, but don’t overdo it.
Remember to walk in an imaginary straight line. So naturally you will have a swinging gait like a girl. Remember to gently swing both hands.
