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

I DO. I was considering getting my eyeliner done as well, but that needle would be AWFULLY close to my eyeball...

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.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
