What can I do to feel feminine?

ADVICE REQUEST

I’m currently in the process of detransitioning but I feel stuck. I haven’t came out at work/to friends yet. I still look far too masculine to be comfortable going outside wearing women’s clothing so I only really do so in the house with wigs and makeup etc. Even with wigs and makeup I look like a man.
I’m 25, started testosterone around 16, had top surgery at 17. My last testosterone injection was approx 5 months ago so I know it’s still early days but I just hate who I see in the mirror. I don’t know how to look like a girl again.
I’m growing my hair out and I’ve had 3 sessions of facial laser hair removal which ik is a slow process. I just don’t know how to appear female or what else I can do at this stage. Is there anything anyone can suggest to help in the early stages? I know it comes with time but I’m just so depressed with how I look and how I’m perceived by others.
