Eyebrows

[happyinvermont]

What is everyone doing about there big bushy eyebrows. 

[Sally Stone]

Not sure about everyone else, but I keep my eyebrows closely groomed.  I generally maintain an arch but not something I'd classify as overtly feminine; probably sort of gender neutral.

Luckily, mine have never been big nor bushy.  As I've gotten older, they've gotten even more sparse.  So I use an eyebrow pencil every day.  I just wish I knew how to make them match.  😂

Carolyn, when you figure that out, please, please let me know!

I tend to shave mine pretty short a couple of times a week. Matching them is difficult for me too but I can get fairly close holding the pencil between first finger and thumb, resting the side of my little finger nuckle against my face on my cheekbone and swinging a sharp eybrow pencil along the line of my brow. That way it is less arched but at least more equal.

 

For a while now I have been thinking of trying a stencil but have never got round to it.

I have a threading appointment on Tuesday.

I keep mine trimmed and pluck a bit, kind of gender neutral like @Sally Stone.....well, except for that time that I forgot I'd removed the guard from the trimmer and took off half of my left eyebrow before I realized it!!! It's finally growing back in.

I had chicken pox as a kid and have little patches where its just bare, so I use a little pen sized electric shaver thing (if you are in the UK, its a JML item lol) to shape them a bit, and I then pluck with tweezers the odd hairs around the edges and the ones that don't point the same way as the others.

 

As I'm going through electrolysis atm I don't always look very femme, so I just leave them as is on those days but if I'm looking OK or have foundation on than I use an eyebrow pencil.  I've had cis women friends recommend threading and eyebrow tats to me, but I'm not sure about that.

I just did this on Monday! The day I go into the office! Had to do my right eyebrow, not quite so drastic, so they sort of matched!

couldn’t get away with keeping my woolly hat on all day, no one commented at least…

It certainly makes me check the trimmer each time I use it now! 😄

Wow, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has done that 😳

@happyinvermont I also don't have very bushy eyebrows ... but my technique is to trim the longest hairs with scissors across the top - pluck from the bottom to 'raise' my eyebrows and create an arch.  I have some light, fuzzy hairs that grow down the side of my eyes and I usually just shave those.

It's a simple thing, but even just this little bit of care is very affirming for me 🙆‍♀️

Just got eyebrows done

I'm an outlier.  I don't really fool with them myself.  They're part of my Hag Witch Aesthetic.

The brows look very nice @happyinvermont😊
