How to Be Feminine

You don't have to be super girly or dress in pink every day to be more feminine. If you're not in touch with your feminine side, either from a lifetime of being a tomboy or a long period of taking care of others, preparing to be more feminine can be empowering and fun.

Instructions

1. Experiment with makeup. Keep it minimal and natural looking. For a simple change, try different shades and sheens of lipstick. Get a makeover at a salon or cosmetics counter at a department store. The makeup application may be a little stronger than you will be comfortable with, but its a good way to learn how to apply makeup.

2. Make time for good grooming, or have it done professionally. Keep your eyebrows neat. Remove any facial hair. Keep your hair washed and conditioned and get a good haircut. It doesn't have to be trendy as long as it's soft, neat and not hanging in your face.

3. Incorporate more feminine clothing into your wardrobe. Substitute trendy, cute shoes for sneakers. Replace baggy masculine t-shirts with ones that are more fitted in neutral or pastel colors. Add tops like button downs, faux wrap fronts and polo shirts.

4. Add accessories like earrings, bracelets, necklaces and handbags, even when you are just wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

5. Use good grammar. Refrain from using vulgar words or profanity.

6. Smile. Have confidence in yourself.

7. Stand up straight. Be aware of your posture. Hold your chin up and walk gracefully.
