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.

      I'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie
