Eye Brows, Eye Lashes and Make Up

In my early 30's I had a furnace burn my face when I lit it up and it caused 3rd degree burns and singed my eye brows. In the photo you see what I have to work with. Of course I would love to have higher arching feminine eye brows but with what I have do you have any suggestions how to enhance my brows? I saw any other lady say she adds a touch of (of all things) Just For Men to dye them a little. I think trimming the long guys and maybe some type of dye might help. Any ideas?

 

On my eyes....I've tried mascara (not too bad) but eyeliner trials haven't been too successful and I'm trying to get the hang of eye shadow - sadly my attempts make me look kind of slutty and I just want to add a little femininity to the look.

 

With masks - that is about the only area available to work on for public consumption..?

Trim the long ones. If you want to shape them, pluck from bottom only to work on the arch.  Get an eyebrow pencil and lightly darken the area.

After the trimming @Jani mentioned above, I actually use a Cinnamon colored blush powder on a 1/4 inch wide stiff flat makeup brush, either angled or straight across the tip.  Hold the brush in the" | "position at the nose end of your brow and rotate it to  "___"  at the outside of the eye.  The color you will want to use should be just a bit darker than your hair color but the powder is cheap with the brush last forever, and you have a softer look than pencils do.  You can use a narrower brush if you want a thinner look, or just use it in the "___" direction.

To add to the trimming, the trick is to use a brush like a spoolie to brush up and identify the ones that need a trim with some brow scissors. Then you can use a brow pencil or liquid brow pen, you can even use some brow mascara if there's enough hair, but is fair and just hard to see.

Agreed with @jani. I always do my pluck/shave from the bottom part of brows to get the arch!

Hi Heather Shay!

From your photo on this post it looks like you are fortunate that you don't have a heavy male brow line.  That should make it easier to use the tips you were given to get some really nice eyebrows. 
Drop us a new photo when you get it the way you like.  Would love to see❣️

      Well, I'll mention a few generalities from web-land that are not necessarily specific to this forum.   Here's some things that can possibly happen:  Disagree with somebody's policy and you just get silenced and eventually disappeared.  Stuff you write vanishes into thin air (and it ain't AI). Threads get shut down for not being "on topic" (a catch-all for when no other rule can be quoted and somebody with power just doesn't agree with you.)  Or if you have a disagreement with somebody (or a few somebodies), they get to mostly say whatever they want, but you get censored.  When it happens over and over again, it has the effect of eventually turning forums into echo chambers.  Some really good forums on the web have withered and vanished over the years because of this.  I have also noticed that the American portion of the internet is increasingly bifurcated, as each partisan side attempts greater control of their own turf.   Given that we're all humans, nobody will have the "absolute" answer to this stuff.  Only more questions, and plenty of philosophy.  I think that one way to measure the health of a forum is to see how acceptable it is to ask questions about policies and their enforcement.  Publicly.  And regarding specific instances as they occur, rather than generalities with specifics kept in the shadows.

      Hi @Madelyn Rain - nice to meet you and Welcome!   To answer your question, when I first talked to my Dr about HRT I was in 'boy-mode" - partly because I was not socially out to anybody yet and was not dressing publicly. But my Dr was very accepting and understanding.  He knew I had been in gender therapy for a couple of years and this was likely the next step.  He noted my preferred name, and my gender pronouns (she/her).  He updated my records to indicate this and referred to me as she/her in my medical records. My experience was very positive and I hope yours is also.  Congratulations on your decision to start HRT. Deep breaths .. One step at a time

      That's a truly inspirational story ... I love the focus of Zaya's mission - "The question was presented to her as, 'If you have one thing that you want to see change in this community, what would it be?'" Wade recalled. "And for her, it goes right to parents. It goes right to the adults. It goes right to us. It's not the kids. It's us."

      I have two bags, both UNIQLO bags just different colors. I’ve become a bit of a shoe girl, though. My willpower and my tenuous employment situation has kept me from buying more though.

      I try to avoid shopping until I drop, but my weaknesses are purses, I would have to be dragged out of the stores while still clinging onto the purse rack lol

      Yes. I appreciate y'all mods and what you do for us - including reining me in when I'm heading in a bad direction.

      I could not agree more or be more appreciative of this. As one who has come out to only a few people, here I can truly be myself with little fear of inadvertent exposure. Having that ability has helped me to find myself and to gain confidence in expressing my true self. It has helped me to love myself, something I could never do before.
    • Vidanjali
      I appreciate this so much and it's one of the reasons why this community feels like home - a rare treasure among the world wide web.

      As far as things being lost on the Web, accidents happen, Just here alone, I have 20,825 posts showing in my number count, but probably only 19K of them are still actually here to view.  There was a change to a new server a number of years ago, and a segment of the data base they were in became locked and could not be transferred to the new drive in the servers we use now.  Why or how that segment of the data base became locked has not been figured out in the time since but at least we know what happened and it was not intentional or aimed at a single element of behavior here.  Data accidents happen with not one single person really responsible for them or for that matter even the computer itself.  Frustrating as all get out when it happens, but it does happen.  Some other electronics I work on as a hobby had their similar problems here a couple days ago because of the Solar Flares, and power outages or dips in voltage can make electronic life miserable.

      This is very true, Jani.  The original owner of this site, Laura, and her chief assistants, developed our community rules more than 15 years ago.  They have been modified many times, to take into account changing tastes, mores, technical issues and legal issues.  Sites such as TikTok and X didn't exist then.  Our naughty word filter, as just one example, has been modified many, many times.   On this site, as on most private sites, in order to become a member one must agree to the T's & C's and abide by, in our case, the "Community Rules."  If you seriously violate those rules your membership can be terminated.  So, yes, freedom of speech here is restricted.  Some sites are lax about enforcement, but that has never been the case here.  We guard the safety of members, and your emotional comfort, zealously.  We aren't perfect and sometimes let things get out of hand, or we go too far with restrictions, but those instances are uncommon (IMO).   Every site has different standards.  Luckily, for every interest there are numerous sites and it's usually easy to find one that fits your needs and temperament.  When it comes to the Internet, one size does not fit all.   Thanks for your question, @Ladypcnj.   Carolyn Marie
