GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

I've been wanting to shape my eyebrows, but I was afraid to do it on my own. But then... I also don't want anyone else to do it either because they could not possibly care about my eyebrows as much as I do.

So anyway, I selected the three vids below to go by in doing my own eyebrows myself. I was concerned with how one is supposed to find the natural shape of their eyebrows. And now I feel confident that I can do it myself without the world ending. Thank goddess for the internet.

If you don't have time to watch all three, the last one, which is in two 6-minute parts, combines techniques of the first two. Well-groomed eyebrows make a difference, even if a subtle one, in how people see you. Especially if your a TG and you've got "bushes" above your eyes. . . .

I'm off to conquer some brows!

Keep it up, you'll get the hang of it Rachel. Letting them go just makes more work. I've maintained my shapes for over 3 years now, but I do use brow pencil because I always keep them a little on the thin side.

You are a treasure trove for finding all the good stuffs.

I had mine tattooed on.

Thank you sooo MUCH, cindy! Of course, what I find starts out as a self-serving search for the best way to do things, which the internet so aptly provides for (I believe that, in a sense, the world is becoming one mind with it), but what I find and deem worthy of sharing I passon to others who might also be drifting in an ocean of uncertainty in the same boat that I am.


Now THAT is TOO cool!

Also, I just got done seriously shaping my eyebrows for the first time, and it took me 2.5 hours, but it was so relaxing doing it and thinking about nothing else. . . .

I've learned that I need to get an "eyebrow shaver," which can be seen in the first vid, to save lots of time. Getting all the little fine hairs with tweezers is meticulous work.

I don't touch them; too much work for dubious results.

If I don't keep up on mine I'll end up looking like an Italian Grandmother. It's like growing a hockey puck above my eyes.

I leave it all up to my Electrologist.

However, you should start at the tip of your nose and draw a straight line from there through the pupil of your eye, looking straight on, through your eyebrow. Where that line intersects the eyebrow is where the arch of the brow should be.

Mine are wider than I'd like but there are parts that are sparse. I just use an eyebrow pencil to make them look the same, as much as possible.

They were too wide for my taste, so I had some electrocuted.

The most painful thing ever. Root canals are more pleasant.

awesome videos thanks a million!!
