Glasses to hide your caveman brow ridge?


ShawnaLeigh

Recommended Posts

So I was looking at my eyes, eye lashes and tweezing my brows last night and my eyes are definitely sunken down under a fairly good brow ridge.  My eye lashes literally sit under and shelf.  LOL

I wear glasses on occasion, to read and see a tad more clearly at distance but not needing them to legally drive.   I could get away with wearing them full time if need be.  

I was wondering if this is something others do to sort of hide that caveman brow ridge?  Or is it pointless to try this?  Im not looking to get facial surgery any time soon either.

I would love to see some pics of those who have female glasses styles and how they look on you.  I realize I could just look up pics online too but Id love to hear from you too.

Thanks in advance.

Lot of Love

Shawna

Eyeglasses can hide a vast array of shortcomings, and I confess here...especially the bags that appear after an evening having cocktails.

Still dressed for the gym, but these are my walking around glasses (they're trifocals).

These are my working glasses (single lens, mid-range)

I have a glorious pair of rose-gold sunglasses in the car, but it's cold and I'm wearing a racerback. Maybe later once I've warmed up.

I actually kinda like my brow. But I wear plastic frames to frame my face, and for that sexy librarian look o.~

I have deep set eyes and do wear glasses, although I have also learned some make-up tricks to distract from the brow-ridges.  One ethnic heritage shows itself in my eyes and cheekbones, but I have a good assortment of friends that share that heritage and it is really not a "thing" to worry about after a while.  The link is to one of my gallery pictures which is actually a "head shot" for my Chorus that we put out on Trans Day of Visibility two years ago.

Just a quick reminder on pictures, if you want "The World" to see them, go ahead and post them directly in the responses, but if you want some privacy and only show them to members, put them in your gallery and link they here.

Having very sparse, light eyebrows I once tried applying eyebrow pencil, but being visually challenged felt a need to wear glasses while doing it, which was an impossibility. One TG woman suggested buying two sets of cheap readers and remove the lense on opposite sides of each to facilitate applying eyebrow pencil. Good plan for us blind bats because it really does work well. Turns out that the upper rim of the frames coincided perfectly with the arch of my brows so I was able to trace that for starters. Thought this might be usefull info for others.

Thank you for your replies and pics.  It helps to just see how well frames do take away from the brow.

Im going to need some help learning how to do this here.  I have pics but have not set up a gallery yet.

 

I have been trying to figure out the whole shape of the face vs frame style thing you see online. How do you determine shape of the face?  I'm not really seeing my shape fitting anywhere yet.

I was having this issue trying to pluck my eye brows with glasses on.  I have some cheapy readers stashed here and there.  Guys versions and thin but still was in the way.  I'm like how the heck does someone who cant see things up close do this?!?!?!?

I wear glasses, but they’re boxy masculine frames. They at least somewhat cover up the dark circles I’ve inherited from my mom. Can’t wait until I feel brave enough and my insurance is ready to pay for another pair, this time a more feminine pair. 
 

As for hiding the brow, maybe some wispy bangs?  It’ll break up the forehead and brow somewhat. 
 

Using makeup and lash curlers, you can also really open up your eyes. With big beautiful open eyes, you might not even get people looking at your brow.

Not sure if this will ever be me unless I go to a wig.  

My hair is growing in thicker everywhere but not where I need it to. Which would be nn top and my bangs.   LOL

I still have hope that once I am on HRT and the continued regiment I am doing now will help get results.  The wig is Plan B.  

I too have male styled glasses but not heavy frames.  The half top side has a thin frame and the bottom and sides of each lens is a clear strand like a heavy fishing line.  They still do not say "female" to me but not to bad.  I too will go to a more feminine frame once its time for an upgrade...

I wear thin framed unisex glasses all the time, but I have been blessed with pretty small fair brows.

 

I will want to shape them slightly, but at the moment I usually just darken slightly over what is already there as any shaping or plucking would be instantly noticed by the women around me, but I really like the stick on temporary natural lashes, with very little eye liner or eye shadow and a little mascara they will make a huge difference to your eyes. ?

Hello all, I find glasses do conceal my brow slightly as bangs arent much of an option for my style. I find i cannot shape my eyebrows to save my life... that is without them resembling Nike signs... First photo is of reading glasses 2nd are large circular ones i bought from wish.

Both sets of glasses look very good on you.  I like the top set (the heavier square-ish ones) with your facial structure a little better. They both feminize you’re face quite well.

 @Miseria, both of those glasses suit you well!  I couldn't say if I liked one pair over the other, but I may be slightly biased toward the round frames, possibly because I wear round frames... ?

Me too! It helps round your face out. They're really, really hard to find around here though. I feel fortunate that I managed to scrounge up what I did.

 

Hugs!

      Aww, shucks! Thank you, @Ashley0616 and @Timi! I find taking a picture of myself so difficult.

      You're pretty! It's nice to see a face.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
