Become a student of the art. GG's come in all shapes, sizes, amounts of make up application, wardrobe and attitude.
CD's need to find where they fit in to this. Is your goal to live part of your life en femme, then you will probably wear more muted frosted dusty rose lipstick then fire engine red. You will wear hemlines at your knee then higher. You will dress more to fit in. If your goals are more club wear and fetish, travel in like minded packs. Get to know others either around you or who live the next major city over.
Have some sisters who can tell you more contouring on your make up and less 4" heels for the grocery store. But be true to yourself!

Yes, as others have said practice practice. If you need to you can see if a makeup artist who caters to crossdressers can teach you how to apply makeup and read some books how to be a more convinsing crossdresser..
Most importantly BE HAPPY for who you are..

Look at how bio ladies dress and act and try to emulate them. A lot of crossdressers and tranny girls make the mistake of going for hyper-feminine to try to compensate for their masculine traits. This doesn't usually work that well since it actually tends to make those traits more obvious. Try to go for more casual, low-key fashion, makeup and hair styles. Practice your voice as that's the biggest give away. Again, try not to be exaggerated. Invest in some voice training if you can.

Hi with out seeing you it is hard to tell you have to do as far as clothing and makeup . I have ben a cross-dresser for 4 years now and I have not gone out in public dressed as a woman . Some men will never pass in public . I wish that people didn't have to be so narrow mind es as thay are . I per iced my ears to see which people that I know are bigots and I have found that a lot of them are .So be careful and have fun . Raeann

for style, try copying looks of famous people you see on tv and stuff... if you think some skirt or another looks cute try it out, bold red lipstick looks good on that girl with same color eyes as you, try it... eventualy you will see the stuff that you like and will be able to focus from there...
for body language... I learned to dance and it helped alot
voice, i sang along with my fav records and did a bunch of research online... (the key is to get rid of the gurgle in the voice, then pitch is alot easier to work on)
and from there id say hormones, surgery etc if you are intrested in goin beyond cd to full time...
good luck sis, keep it groovin :)

Practice more! Get electrolosys so that your face fuzz doesn't show through and you can wear less makeup. Buy a great wig. Wear "normal" clothes, not super high heels etc. And most of all, practice!

I agree with everyone else, you'll have to practice walking and talking, as well as hair and make-up that works for you and will blend in well with what women are wearing these days. One key tip is to buy clothes that fit and flatter your figures. I hate to see real women, and especially CD's with too-tight clothes or shoes on!!

seek make-up advice form a professional and than get a real woman to take you shopping.

Not knowing what you like right now, it's hard to tell where you may or may not need improvement.
