"That's a really difficult question to answer because it depends on what you think femininity looks like.
Can you think of anyone famous who looks feminine to you?"
That's a good point! I suppose like Rachel Reilly from countdown lol

Try not to overthink it...just be yourself. And as someone else has commented- is there someone who you think is feminine that you could use as inspiration?

You look very feminine in your photos.
I think if you can grow your own hair/get extensions or a real hair wig it would make you feel and look more feminine |

I just googled her. Yes, to me that I perceive as feminine. Clothes that flatter the figure without being overly sexual, not too revealing. |

Oh I think she's so hot  Well, there's a start for you - watch videos of her and see if any of her behaviours and mannerisms come easily to you. With make up, spam yourself with tutorials on Insta, FB etc and practice and experiment with different looks

You look good 
Just keep doing what you're doing, keep practicing with the make up (that's the biggest one to help sell the image)
Good eyebrows go a long way as does a good wig.
I know you're using FaceApp, but you have a feminine face and a nice smile.
Everything will come together in time |

I'd say agree eye makeup is a big thing. Blending tutorials are great for that OP Also express on nails have come a long way in recent years. Primark do sets that are really inexpensive, look good and are easily taken back off. Just opt for the sticky type vs glue |

I find makeup really helps alot when done subtly! Plus, choice of clothing can also play a big part in how your body looks. Also don't forget to neglect accessories! I find that when I wear glasses for example it makes me pull off the andro look. |

Again there's lots of options for the party lashes that come off easily. As for brows if you don't feel confident going to a brow bar, most Turkish barbers offer threading now. My daughters boyfriend gets his done at the barbers |

It's good you are asking women, because lot of TVs and CD's especially go for an idea of 'feminity' that (imo) you actually don't really see around that much these days. Single colour get-ups with accessories same, heels for school, certain poses, it's not particularly 'feminity' to a lot of women imo. It's almost Carry-On stuff sometimes, and it was meant to be deliberately exaggerated back then. Brassy music would play when those 'glamorous' women walked by.
Your last pic (with your lovely face) looks the most feminine to me, because you look the most relaxed in it.
'Femininity' for me is just most women being comfortable with the body and personality they have. It's a comparative thing with masculinity, and yes there is crossover. And some men are obviously more naturally feminine than others (who aren't at all) - it's just the way it is.
'Putting it on' is the hardest thing. It's why Eddy Izzard for me will never be 'feminine' - because he doesn't naturally have it. To me he really is just a guy who puts on a dress sometimes, some lippy (always the red lippy) and (unfortunately otherwise I wouldn't care less) expect to use women's loos off the back of that (and his status no doubt). To me he's just a spoilt celeb who has no idea what some CDs - ie guys - actually behave like in this area. (A lot are quite perverted 'role players' tbh). Izzard wouldn't even attempt it wearing his 'male' clothes.
But it really is just about clothing. Why *should* women wear any particular type of clothing? Clothing is designed for body types for sure, but why should your clothing make you a woman?
But I do admit that there are guys out there (if guys are your thing) who very much like the 'exaggerated look'. I get criticised sometimes because I "don't make an effort" - typically meaning loads of dolly make up with all the frillies. But I just say, "why should women make that kind of effort??"
The key in that case would be to ask them what they like.
Also most women are great with colour coordination, and those who aren't look for some kind of help or guide - it's there in abundance for them. They don't just throw 'female clothes' together, like a lot of the CD's do on Fabguys. (Yes ladies, they are mostly married men - so they don't even buy it for themselves!) ----pt |

I wish I could help more, but I’m definitely not feminine haha!
I do feel more “girly” when I’ve got a dress on and some lovely perfume, D & G The only one is my new go to. A lovely handbag can also help.

If you think you are not feminine then I have no hope lol...you have a terrific figure and style. Alot of women here like yourself dont need to try and they still look amazing. |

Deportment makes people seem more feminine.
Relax your shoulders and move your arms from your elbows, with relaxed, soft hands.
Walk putting each foot nearer to the centre of your body, until you feel comfortable and are not overdoing it.
Femininity is grace.

Get your colours done.
Everyone is a season (spring, summer etc) and everyone has a natural body shape (hourglass, strawberry, rectangle etc). Once you find out what season and shape you are and start buying clothes to suit you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes!
I’m a spring hourglass so I can wear bright colours but pastels, grey and black aren’t so good. If you were a summer or a winter you’d look awesome in pastels or greys and blacks.
As an hourglass I can wear all over patterns but if you were a straw for example you’d want patterns on the bottom half and plain on top to balance your shape out. There’s a lot of info online about it |

I'd recommend this too. I had my colours done and I'm a winter so very different from this person. I wear darks and brights. No pastels and no browns. It's bloody transformed what I wear and how I wear it. They are definitely open minded about helping everyone. House of Colour if you want to look OP. Its not cheap, but it is good. |
