How To Have Short Hair And Still Look Feminine
Femininity can be heightened by our looks and our mannerisms. To be more feminine we must create more opposition to the masculine qualities. Thus being said, short hair is often associated with masculinity and longer hair with femininity.
This does not mean anything concrete. Though most men prefer long hair due to it’s opposition of their male features, a woman can still be perceived as feminine & sexy with short hair, a pixie cut, buzzed hair etc.
To balance the perception that short hair is less feminine one would have to “ultra-fy” or slightly exaggerate the other attributes she has. You can look at what feminine qualities of yours you’d like to highlight, for example plush lips or bombshell figure. And you can also look at what features or parts you’d like to “soften” and feminize a bit more.
For example, I most certainly do not have hyper feminine facial features yet most people perceive me as super feminine. I have a sharp nose (as opposed to a cute upturned feminine nose) and a sharp chin. When we want to look more feminine we need to look at what we want to soften. Some of us may feel our facial features could use that, or perhaps some may want to have a more feminine body. If your body is athletic be proud of it, but there is also nothing wrong with wanting to soften it or play up the more feminine parts of it.
How To Pull Off A Short Haircut: Case Study
CASE STUDY: PRINCESS DIANA | Strong Features + Short Hair , Yet Feminine & Demure, Charming. A classic beauty.
Other Inspirations: Audrey Hepburn, Halle Berry, Eve (Rapper From the 2000’s)
She had short hair, a strong jaw, & a strong nose. Again, not the typical set of features associated with delicate femininity. However she was a complete feminine masterpiece.
Princess Diana exuded femininity in the way she carried herself, her clothing, the way she spoke, and her nurturing demeanor. Often she wore pastel skirt suits, lovely jewelry, & heels of course. Her mannerisms and looks played a very large factor in how feminine she was seen as. The short hairstyle hadn’t an effect on her femininity.
Further in this article we’ll discuss some key ways to implement feminine mannerisms and to be perceived as more feminine. Do not confuse this as hiding our strength
This does not mean to downplay our strength. It means to play up our differences amongst a man.

How To Look Feminine With A Pixie Cut Or Buzz Cut
In my piece, Striking Features: What Makes A Strikingly Beautiful Person?, I mention a woman with a pixie hair cut that was seen as striking. Perhaps the short pixie cut can be striking itself or it emphasizes a woman’s great bone structure or other attributes.
The shorter the hair, the more it reminds me of a classy updo. When our hair is pulled back, pulled up or pinned back we actually expose some of our most very feminine parts.
Our delicate collarbones and décolletage are on full display, as well as our sensitive neck; these are areas men love when we are intimate with them. Since your short hair highlights these areas, take it up another level to increase the beauty of its effect.
Accentuate Your Other Feminine Attributes
- SHIMMER ON THE COLLARBONES. Also Make sure your skin is supple and naturally and vibrantly glistening on it’s own with a good cream.
- A DELICATE OR SEDUCTIVE PERFUME on the collarbones, and behind our ears.
- LONG DANGLY EARRINGS to highlight yet also dress up this bare area
- PEARL EARRINGS are an instant feminine classic. A simple one pearl necklace if earrings aren’t for you.
- PAY ATTENTION TO BROWS. These babies are much more noticeable when hair is shorter. Use your brows to create the perfect framework for your face.
Be Selective When Choosing Colors, Fabrics & Accessories
These can either increase some toughness or to increase some delicateness in your style (This concept applies anytime, whether short or long hair).
For example, If you would like to exaggerate the edgy look a short hair cut can do, add an accessory with some edge like a chain strap purse (excluding Chanel style bags as they’re usually feminine despite the chain strap)
For a more delicate look & to balance the edginess a short hairstyle can do, add a more simple, dainty bag.
How To Make Your Face Look More Feminine With Short Hair
Lashes. Lashes. Lashes
Having a lovely set of eye lashes is such a feminine & flirty trait. You do not need to wear false lashes, but do play up your pretty lashes with mascara. Or simply curl them gently. Or go all out and wear a false pair that fits your look.
Sexy / Flirty / Feminine characters in films or even cartoons always have emphasized lashes. Always.
Pretty Pretty Brows
Pretty brows are essential for they frame your face. Keep them well groomed and add a slight arch if they’re straight but only if it looks great with your face shape and other features.

Earrings bring an extra sparkle to the face. Even a simple pair of studs instantly adds femininity. Larger studs will add some glamour,
And long dangly earrings fill in the exposed area but also draw attention to your sexy feminine assets.
If you have broad shoulders with short hair and want to minimize them, see if larges hoops look good with your features. They are ultra glam with short hair.

How To Soften Harsh Facial Features
“A dressed up face {when done correctly} stands out from a crowd of lovely bare faced individuals.”
-The Mini Skirt Files
No. 1 Quick & Favorite tip: LIPSTICK in a soft color. This is a total face brightener.
A more muted tone of lipstick, slightly flesh colored, really softens a face if there are some super strong features you’d like to make slightly less noticeable. Nude colors really help to blend, and create more balance, especially if you want to emphasize your eyes and brows. They’ll become the primary focus of the face. And eyes we can always make even prettier thanks to soft brown or dark eye pencils and a coat or properly applied mascara.
Foundation or a tinted moisturizer can also help create some of that softness & add balance. I’ve noticed a difference when some women wear no makeup and when they wear just a little. That “just a little bit” that she adds on can really smooth, soften and feminize the face.
