Steps
Part 1 of 3: Prepare
Step 1. Take care of your skin
You will feel more comfortable wearing feminine clothes if you take the time to make your skin appear cleaner and fresher. First, in the morning, wash your face with a cleanser tailored to your skin type, whether dry or oily. Try to do a more thorough cleansing a couple of times a week, to make the skin brighter, it is essential for looking like a girl. Try some of these methods:
- Exfoliate the skin. Use a light exfoliating cleanser on your face, and a scrub for the arms and legs.
- Apply a facial mask to your face to get brighter skin before putting on your makeup. The masks expel the oil from the skin and narrow the pores.
- Moisturizes the skin. To keep the skin smooth, you can use a moisturizer for the face and a lotion for the rest of the body.
Step 2. Decide whether to shave or wax to remove unwanted hair
There are no rules in this sense, no one forces a girl to shave or wax. Some do, some don't, it doesn't matter. You can dress up as a girl anyway. Removing unwanted hair gives legs, armpits and other parts of the body a soft and smooth look, but it takes a long time and isn't always pleasant. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Plenty of girls shave the hair on their legs, armpits and other parts of the body with a simple razor. Shaving several times a week keeps the process simple; the more the hair grows, the harder it is to remove it.
- You can pluck facial hair with tweezers, or you can lighten it to make it less noticeable.
- There are several alternatives to shaving, such as waxing and pulsed light.
Step 3. Put your makeup on
Although many girls decide to stay natural, because they prefer the "soap and water" appearance of the skin, playing with makeup is a lot of fun when dressing up as a girl. Whatever outfit you decide to wear, just a little makeup is enough to look elegant.
- Start with a little foundation with a shade similar to that of your skin. You can use it to hide blemishes and make the skin look smoother.
- Highlight your eyes with eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow. Match your eye color with a shade that makes them stand out. If the hue is blue, try applying a light shade of blue and gray, with a dark blue outline. For darker eyes, such as brown ones, it is better to use a more shadowy shade, such as smoky gray.
- Make lips and cheeks brighter with similarly toned blush and lipstick.
- To look more natural, try not to overdo it too much with eyeliner and put on a lipstick that matches the complexion of your lips.
- If your skin has a dull color, try applying a cream around the eyes to enhance the brightness of your face.
- If you don't know how to wear makeup, go to the cosmetics department of a perfumery and ask the shop assistants how to do it. They will be able to tell you what the tone of your complexion is, and will be able to give you tips on how to put on make-up on normal days, for special evenings, and even how to stay in soapy water with a little makeup.
Step 4. Scented
If you like to have a good perfume on every occasion, as many girls like, buy different perfumes or choose a unique fragrance to use when dressing as a girl. Rub a drop of perfume behind your ears, neck and wrists to leave a slight trail behind you throughout the day, adding a touch of style to your ensemble. Just be careful not to use too much, it could be counterproductive.
- Don't combine too many perfumes. Using deodorant, lotion and perfume at the same time is too much, you could give off an unpleasant smell.
- Some perfumes are very expensive, but you can always make them by hand by mixing essential oils such as those of rose, lily or cedar with water. Pour the solution into a bottle with a spray applicator and in seconds you will have your personal eau de toilette.
Step 5. Style your hair
If you're planning on dressing up as a girl, you'll need to set aside time to style your hair, whether it's long, short, curly or straight. Use products that are compatible with your hair type, they must look shiny and healthy. You can try with some particular style, or you can simply comb them, add a few curls and spray some hairspray.

- Use hairpins, ribbons, bows or rubber bands to add some color and style to your hair.
- If you want to try something completely different from your style you can wear a wig or apply some extensions to your hair.
Step 6. Choose the right underwear to match your suit
When dressing as a girl, undergarments can help you give your outfit a more harmonious look. Comfort is important, but you need to choose underwear that emphasizes your shapes and remains invisible. If you are wearing a strapless dress, for example, you will also need to wear a strapless bra. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Wear a bra of the right size that matches your outfit. Let's take an example. If you want to wear a fitted shirt, combine it with a bra made of soft material so that the seams don't show through.
- Choose panties of an invisible color through the fabric. If you're wearing a white skirt, for example, use a pair of nude or white panties.
- There are many undergarments that can enhance an outfit. Consider wearing thongs, tights or elegant lingerie to feel more elegant.

Step 1. Fill your wardrobe with trendy clothes
There are many ways to dress up as a girl, it's all about finding the best style. Try on clothes of different shapes and colors, start combining them and choose the ones that fit you well and make you feel comfortable. You can check out some fashion magazines or blogs if you need inspiration. Try to figure out which combination is right for you and put it in your wardrobe.
- Start with something basic. Fill the wardrobe with dresses, skirts, trousers and t-shirts that you like to wear. Each new garment must be able to combine with at least three others that are in the wardrobe.
- Make sure they fit you. Buy clothes that fit your size, don't take tight clothes in hopes of losing weight, or even loose clothes in an attempt to hide something. To look your best you need to buy clothes that fit your body shape. And don't be afraid to pick up some garments that showcase your shape, like a crop top or a pair of skinny jeans.
- When deciding what to wear, choose a single garment that inspires you, and start there. Let's take an example. You have a beautiful pastel skirt and you don't know what to do with it. Combine it with a cotton t-shirt and a string of pearls, you will get a style perfect for an afternoon lunch. Replace the shirt with a silk blouse and a jacket, you will have a perfect outfit to face a business meeting. Start with your favorite garments to create fantastic combinations.

- Wear an open jacket or sweatshirt over your shirt, or combine a blouse with jeans. You can also put the blouse over a dress.
- Wear a vest over a long-sleeved shirt, or put it on a sleeveless blouse.
- Wear a mini skirt over tights or leggings.
- Wear a long dress shirt over a tank top or tee, roll up the sleeves and tie a knot in the front.
Step 3. Match the colors and textures
Try to go beyond the normal pairing rules when choosing the color of the garments to wear. Of course, the combination of red dress and red shoes seems sensible, but a monochromatic combination like this is not very interesting. Dare a little more, combine colors that stand out from each other, and try to make your suit as charming as possible.
- Mix warm and cold colors. Try wearing orange with blue, for example, or yellow with purple. The complementarity of the colors will make your outfit stand out.
- Wear seasonal colors. With each change of season, the predominant color of the collections found in the stores changes. If you don't know what the fashion color is for the current season, take a tour of the malls and check out the hottest combinations. Bring some rainbow into your wardrobe.
- Match the prints of the garments together. You could wear a shirt with a floral pattern and pair it with a skirt with a similar texture and color. Use the patterns of the garments to play with colors.
- Dress monochromatic if you feel like daring. Monochromatic suits give a strong sense of boldness. Try pairing nude accessories with this style, like camel shoes and fleshy lipstick.
Step 4. Choose the right shoes
Shoes can improve a suit or ruin it completely, so it is necessary to take some time to choose the right pair. The heel is the best way to accompany a long dress and adds a bit of style to more casual models, such as jeans and a t-shirt. This doesn't mean you have to wear heels just because you've decided to dress up as a girl! Try wide-heeled sandals or elegant ballet flats, they go well with almost any outfit.
- Wear shoes suitable for the season, wear low-cut suede shoes during the winter and flat-heeled ballet flats in the summer. Wide-heeled shoes look good on any garment, especially if they are jeans, with floral textures, or neutral colors such as white and black.
- If you prefer a more informal look, you can wear a pair of white tennis shoes, they look good both with shorts and skirts and with dresses.
- Don't sacrifice comfort for style. Practice walking in new shoes before going out. If you can't walk on heel 10, don't wear it! There is no style in tumbling on the ground.
Step 5. Match some stylish accessories
The accessories give a particular feminine touch to each outfit. When you have decided what to wear, try to figure out how to make your appearance more elegant by adding some special accessories, such as a pair of shiny earrings or a thin belt around the waist. It is the right opportunity to show your personality and have some fun. Follow these basic tips, you will learn how to combine accessories to highlight your appearance.
- Don't wear too many! Don't try to dress up like a Christmas tree, just choose those cute accessories that really highlight your outfit. Try pairing a plain T-shirt with flashy earrings, a choker or flashy bracelets. Don't wear them all together!
- Wear accessories that bring out the color of your clothes. You can highlight a solid blouse with a flamboyant scarf, with some long necklaces, or by pairing pearl earrings with a very chunky bracelet.
- Wearing a belt above the navel gives an hourglass effect even to the thinnest body.
- Buy classic and timeless accessories, such as silver hoop earrings. It is better to wait for sales to buy cat eye glasses, they could go out of style within a season.
