There are moments when you feel that something deep is happening.

When Marie arrived at the studio, I immediately understood that she wasn’t just coming for makeup or a pretty photo.
She was coming to cross an important milestone in her journey.

We worked together on her gaze, her smile, then tried on three wigs.
Three styles, three different reflections of herself… and with each try, I saw her face transform.

With the last one, it was a revelation: a sparkling, rejuvenated, confident look.

That day, it was no longer just a beauty session.
It was a birth, the meeting between Marie and the woman she had been carrying inside for a long time.

She agreed to share her testimony here with touching sincerity.

Introduction to Marie

Hello, my name is Marie.
Luckily, the name is on my identity card. I’m 63 years old, divorced, and father of two grown children.

I’m semi-retired after a career as a saleswoman in advertising and as a shopkeeper.
I live in the north of Seine-et-Marne.

Early Signs

Already as a teenager, I liked wearing stockings and feminine underwear.
It must be said that my mother, after having four boys, wished for a girl.

Unconsciously, no doubt, this shaped my personality.

Later, in my life as a young man, with women, friendship often slipped into the friend zone.
I went from being a suitor to a good friend, even a confidante.

They probably sensed this sensitivity in me.

A Constant Desire

The desire to be Marie is constant.

But I’m aware that, even though I live alone, fully living it would imply a radical change: moving, a new social life, and above all sorting through my friends and family.

The decision would probably be easier with support by my side.

Taking the Step

It wasn’t until after my divorce that I really started building my wardrobe, doing makeup, and timidly being active on social media.

I quickly understood that a pair of tights and a wig were not enough to satisfy my quest for perfection.

The path is long, but rewarding.

What It Brings Me

Already, living as a woman simplifies daily life tremendously: more closet space, no more worrying about leftover makeup stains…

But more seriously, it means ending duality.
It’s a feeling of freedom, well-being, and a desire for seduction.

Fears..

It’s not so much family that troubles me.
I’m past the age of acting according to what is expected of me.

I know I will lose some friendships and make new ones.

However, the gaze of neighbors and, more broadly, my social environment petrifies me.

Not to mention hateful attacks from narrow-minded people.

My Wishes

I would really like to go out on the street and go shopping with girls. To try on shoes, dresses… To be done with online orders and managing returns.

My Encounter with Transbeauté

I came across Transbeauté’s Facebook page by chance this winter, after an online search for providers welcoming our cause.

Right away, I subscribed with the firm intention to progress in my journey.

Given the result, it’s clear: I crossed a milestone.

A Memorable Anecdote

As much as I have always been aware that physically my feminine side is credible, I’ve never been comfortable with my smile.

Thank you to Jennifer for insisting – she is really persistent! It changes everything. I am more natural and relaxed.

To quote Matthieu Ricard: “The smile is the door of the heart opening to others.”

Overall, it was a magical afternoon thanks to the kindness and talent of the artist.

That day, Marie was finally born.

A real heartbreak to have to remove my makeup at the end of the session.

Thank You, Marie!

Seeing Marie leave with a smile on her lips and shining eyes is exactly what motivates me every day.

At Transbeauté, every session is a special moment where we take care of your image but also, and above all, your self-confidence.

Do you want to cross a milestone, try a new look, or simply treat yourself to a moment just for you?
