A person who is biologically male, but who presents in a feminine way, for example by wearing feminine clothing, feminine hairstyles and/or make-up.
A femboy is similar to a crossdresser, in that they both present in a feminine way. But to a crossdresser this is seen as a special activity, which he only takes part in in certain situations, while a femboy presents this way as part of his personal style and presents this way in daily life.
The term 'femboy' refers only to an esthetic and not to a gender identity. Most femboys still identify as male, though others identify as genderqueer or even as female. Due to the word 'boy' in the name, it is usually only used for young people, typically under the age of 30.
I've started wearing nail polish. I really like this femboy look.
I saw Flynn wear a dress yesterday. Does he identify as a woman now? - No, he's just a femboy.

Abbreviation of transfeminine.
People who are assigned male at birth, but who identify more with femininity than with masculinity. The term can among others include trans women, non-binary people and genderfluid people. The term is particularly used by people who are not sure yet in which of these categories they fall.
The opposite is transmasculine or transmasc.
I don't know if I would consider myself a trans woman, but I'm definitely transfem.
I would recommend watching make-up tutorials from other transfem people. Tutorials from cis girls are often already too advanced for absolute beginners.

I've felt transmasc for a long time, but lately I've been wondering if I'm a trans guy. Could you start using he/him instead of they/them? I want to know how that would make me feel.
In this video, I will give some tips for transmasc people on how to make their voice sound more masculine.
