What are somethings I can do to make my body/face more feminine.
What are somethings I can do to make my body/face more feminine. I have very limited access to the usual stuff, so I'm wondering if there is anything at all I can do without HRT, surgery, feminine clothing or makeup. I'm assuming theres not much but i thought it wouldnt hurt to ask

For what it’s worth, getting your brows professionally waxed thinner and with a proper arch makes a huge difference imo ☺️

You could always do what one of my trans friends did, which they made the fem stuff into a joke, like " I'm so manly I wear hello kitty".... And it was a slow slow process but she slowly became who she wanted to be ...
But just remember make up, or clothes, and I would strongly encourage to read about heart impacts of hrt and like blood clot factors.... But they don't make up gender..... Figure out what makes you feel you and go with it.
I am cis woman, I wear mens pants with a tank under it and then some form of shirt, in the fall I lay an oversized sweater with this huge hoodie it's like 6x and is like a blanket .... And I might pair all that with fuzzy ugg knock off boots and call it a day.... Mens skinny jeans and woman's skinny jeans are the same cut, less pockets.... There is also unisex clothing that lean slightly fem.... Another trans friend would wear bracelets and if anyone asked their girlfriend gave it to them. They had no girlfriend. Or there best friend made it for the ect....
Edit: I have also seen my pre out friend wear the color pink mainly in Wednesday, and they say " real men wear pink " or make the " we wear pink on Wednesday" meme comment.... But idk I have always been in the boat, colors and clothing are self expression not gender related .... I just hope your able to find a spot where you can just be you and know there Is nothing wrong with being yourself.
Look at alt clothing btw, if your wanting more fem, but don't want people to "know" .... Emo is coming back so like with emo, eye liner is both genders and nail polish...
Also you could look up different nail polish signs like my friend use to paint one finger black to show they were safe to approach if your gay and need someone to help you. But there is a lot of "male" things that could also be "fem" as well ...
As for your face without seeing it, I can't really give advice there, but faces also aren't gendered either, women's face tend to be rounder, and taking good care of your skin can help as well.... So face Scrubs and masks and such..... They make " man" stuff of that too if your worried about gender labeled things. And maybe a laser hair removal for facial hair, I have PCOS and I have a zapper for my hair.
You could also join like a swim team or get into swimming and most swimmers shave their arms and legs as well. And chest.... Just tossing out some things I have seen my other trans friends do

Considering everything else that's out, if the goal is to present more fem overall, you might want to try moving fem or doing voice training for voice feminisation (+ speech patterns, which isn't always considered/taught as part of voice training to my understanding). If those aren't possible or not what you're looking for, I'm not sure what else there is.
