Let's Talk Eyebrows

I get mine waxed and shaped at a salon.

Comb up and trim, pluck a bit.

I have my brows waxed and shaped at a salon.

First, my eyes have never looked masculine.
Therefore eyebrow tweezers to remove those two or three out of place hairs.
Then I fill in the empty areas using a pencil of the same color as the brows or sometimes black and the brow look is completed.

Amazingly, I don’t have much in the way of eyebrows.  I always had a hard time drawing the brows freehand.  One time I looked at myself in the mirror and I could see Mr Spock from Star Trek.  Not the kind of look that I wanted.  So I read about eyebrow stencils and also about eyebrows and hooded eyes.  I went ahead and ordered the stencil in a kit that I could use with my hooded eyes to actually raise the eyes at the far sides.  I’ve been very happy with the eyebrow stencils and highly recommend them.  The kit comes with various stencils that you might want to consider before deciding on the ones that are best for your face.

Grazié!

I too have hooded eyes and so am interested in the kit you mentioned that raised them in the corners. Would you please give me a lead? PM if you wish to. Best, Marlene.

My eyebrows have always had a feminine arch and they sit high above my orbital bones, as a boy it wasn't obvious as my brows are pale blonde. I use a brow stencil and color them in to match my current hair color. I have to do my brows every morning unless I cheat sometimes and go to bed with them still done, so I have considered getting them done permanently, still looking into the various options. I am a full time woman so I don't have to be concerned about having to present in drab mode.

I do the same, but remember to comb down to, makes them more even.

Luckily, old age means my eye brows are virtually non existent (think guinan, star trek).

I used to free hand draw with eye brow make up, and one eyebrow would look perfect but the other would look demented as it was impossible to draw freehand symmetrical brows.

I discovered eyebrow stencils on amazon.  Most were stencil for one brow, but I found one that was for 2.   The stencil for one would work but then you'd have to line it up perfectly for the other side.  The stencil I got attaches right across the face, so all you have to do is line it up horizontally, which is much easier.

I now have decent looking femme brows when I'm Wendy.   Makes a huge difference then free hand.

I voted for pluck my own eyebrows. But that's really only part of the story. As I've aged, my brows have turned grey mostly. Between grey brows and the thinness of them, when you looked at my face you wouldn't see any brows at all. I was bothered by that.

Then my wife decided to get her brows micro bladed. I went with her to the appointment and asked if there was something that would work for me (guy self). The answer was of course. So I made an appointment for myself. When I went to that first appointment the technician asked what kind of brows I wanted. Deep breath and I explained that I wanted something that looked good in guy mode but would also work when presenting as female. The tech (a guy) had no problem with that.

The tech first drew in a brow with eyebrow pencil. Gave them a nice arch. Showed how it would look without any enhancement. I liked the result and gave the go ahead. It took two sessions but I've now got brows that look just fine on my guy face and, with a little enhancement from an eyebrow pencil, also look good when presenting as female.

I voted Glue stick to conceal brows and draw on free hand, although I have very light and thin natural brows so I really don't have to conceal them with the glue stick. I use a stencil and draw them on.

I have a unibrow if I leave it alone. I have been getting them waxed now for over a year and the unibrow is greatly diminished. As time goes on my tech has been thinning and shaping them for a more feminine look, but they are, at best, pretty gender-neutral at this point.

Just reshaped mine. I pluck and also use an eyebrow razor to trim around the edges after thinning with a comb and trimmer. I don't want those caterpillar looking eyebrows lol
