You can contour them by plucking unwanted hairs.  Always remove from bottom to make a nice arch.  Clear the area between the brows too.  They should start about where your inner corner of the eye is.

Yes it hurts but as you keep it up the hairs get thinner and its easier.

I keep my brows well-groomed in what I would call a semi-feminine arch.  Not too extreme, but enough of an arch that they don't look masculine.  I trim and pluck to keep my brows looking nice.

I usually use a beard trimmer set to about a 4 to keep them from getting too shaggy and then tweeze in between to keep the inside ends where I want them.  Sometimes I get fancy and do the bottoms a bit to build a little bit of arch and keep any hairs off my eyelids (I come from a hairy family :P )

I went with tattoos because I have alopecia and my skill with getting the darn things drawn straight was... appalling. Still, I got to pick a very feminine shape and I don't look quite so freakish.

Choose your style. You don't have to let them get "bushy". I get mine threaded.  I suck at plucking. I use a small batter operated razor like a nose trimmer to keep it looking ok between visits.

mine was alittle diffrent they got singedreal bad so I shaved them. when they came back they were sparse and scraggly so i pulled what I could and shaved the rest and thats the way I keep them now. they are pretty much permanently bald. the few strays I get I pull every once in awhile I will draw them which is seldom. I have been bald so long I wouldnt really look good and way to obvious of a change  as  people are used to seeing me with out.and if I did I would need to get a stencil

Before I invested in that, I'd need to up my skill to the point where I could draw something I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear for two weeks.

I was getting at the part where I'm terrible at applying eyeliner. ?

 

I actually have stencils for eyebrows though. The thing they don't have (or at least mine don't) is an easy way to set them level. I always ended up looking like I was really interested in something. Probably less of an issue if you have actual eyebrows to use as a guide, but I am not so blessed.

If I let mine grow I look like a regular Vladimir! Let’s just say I never needed a headband! I recently prepaid my electrologist for a buy five get one free session, and then Kaiser kicked in before it was used up. She took 15 minutes at the end of one session recently to give me a wax job! WOW! I can’t believe the difference!

ok, this is what i do

firstly i shave them a grade 1, as like most i have brows that seem to grow in days lol

use a pritt stick glue to glue hairs down

use foundation an cover brows, they wont disappear yet

cover in a setting powder, dab concelour over your brows and then use setting powder again, keep on going until you cannot see your brows

i then use a brow shaper stencil that i got from ebay

i use black eye shadow to fill in the eye brow shaper stencil

once your happy with the results lightly spray hair spray over your brows to seal the makeup

dont get to close with the hairspray lol

takes about 20 mins to blott them out and redo, but trust me feminine brows really does change the whole look of your face

I got mine waxed for the first time and I was disappointed. I wanted them to be thinner but she just kept the old shape and ripped out the newer growth. I'm just going to maintain them myself until after my FFS in Jan. They should be higher up then.  I hate the fact that most of mine are actually below the supraorbital ridge. Once they grind that down and shorten the forehead they should be in a nice position. Right now I would have to remove almost all of them to get them "above" my eye socket and they would look razor thin at that point.  I don't use much makeup so going the whole concealer route and penciling them in just isn't for me.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
