5 Uplifting Reasons to Try a Crossdressing Makeover Later in Life

Introduction

Some seven or eight years ago, I hit the big SEVEN OH! I’d always loved “dressing up,” but after several years of abstinence, I decided to treat myself to a few “lady things” — a wig, makeup, hosiery, and a couple of dresses. When I finished working on my new look, I looked in the mirror and was horrified. All I could see was Desperate Dan in drag. It was awful. Once upon a time, I felt happy and attractive when dressed. But now? The years had clearly taken their toll. I was ready to say goodbye to my femme self — Kate. Until something changed.

Here are 5 uplifting reasons why giving a crossdressing makeover later in life — especially with Translife — might be the best decision you ever make.

1. You’re Never Too Old to Rediscover Joy

After months of not dressing, I saw an advert for Translife in Brighton. I thought: Why not? At the very worst, I’d confirm it was all truly over. I made the call, booked an appointment, and turned up — nervous, shy, and honestly, scared. But instead of an ending, it marked a beautiful new beginning. A crossdressing makeover later in life gave me the chance to rediscover something I thought I’d lost forever — joy.

2. A Warm Welcome Makes All the Difference

When I arrived, a lovely lady named Krista opened the door. She said, “Take your shoes off please.” Being a little hard of hearing, I thought she said, “Take off your shirt!” So I did! Krista gave me a puzzled look. Sophie came downstairs, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Why have you taken your shirt off?” “Because she told me to!” We all burst into laughter. That little mix-up broke the ice and made me feel right at home.

3. The Right Help Can Reignite Your Confidence

Sophie and Krista treated me with such kindness and understanding. Over tea, we talked about “bringing Kate back.” And we did. Sophie’s makeup artistry, patience, and good humour created magic. When I looked in the mirror this time, Kate was smiling back at me. I was happy. And confident. And finally felt seen again.

4. It’s About You — Not the Sale

One thing I admire about Translife: Sophie never tries to sell you anything you don’t need. Her focus is on you, not your wallet. In the past, I’d visited other services that made me feel like a transaction. It was just about the money — and overpriced, too. That’s why I mostly dressed alone for so many years. At Translife, it’s different. There’s trust, honesty, and value.

5. It’s Never Too Late to Feel Beautiful

Kate is very much alive — and she’s thriving. I’m now a regular visitor to Translife, and we’ve had some lovely outings together. Sophie and Krista are brilliant at helping people feel safe, relaxed, and beautiful, no matter your age. If you’ve been hesitating, take it from me: a crossdressing makeover later in life can be one of the most empowering things you ever do.
