Title: Help, Eyebrows!
Post by: Ptarus on May 11, 2016, 01:36:54 PM
So, my friend recently had me dress up with him. I never understood the craze until I just went for it.

Now I'm into it, casually dressing and hanging out, but my problem is my eyebrows
I need a style thats well groomed enough for when I'm dressed up, but not too fem for when I'm dressed regular.

does anyone have any suggestions? please and thank you

these are my brows: http://imgur.com/a/6vzHf

I feel like if I nail these eyebrows I'll be able to pass!

It's hard to tell from the picture but your eyebrows don't look to bad. Possibly thinning a little and cleaning up the strays but there is a woman who has gotten away with heavy eyebrows for years -  Brook Shields (https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/3320833002/297fc2ec5eedc311f805a1622556a9c6_400x400.jpeg).

Yours look good. The best advice i have received on eyebrows is to get them arched a bit by trimming, waxing etc and keep them a bit thinner than you would in male mode.

I agree Robyn,
My wife says that natural looks best and I do have a trimmer where I keep them quite short.
What she does not know and no one else has picked is that I pluck mine to define the brow without making it obvious.
Then when dressing the brow pencil completes the package.

Your eyebrows don't look bad at all - you actually look great!

But if you're worried about your brows, I know this might sound crazy - but just find a strip mall that has a nail salon that looks legit/established...walk in and ask, "can you help me clean up my eyebrows a little bit?"

They'll say "sure!" and likely take you back to a little chair or room in back they use as a waxing station - 10 minutes later they'll have you all fixed up...just taking care of stray hairs...tell them to go easy if you want, but nobody will notice. It'll make you look better in guy mode too.

Another trick, if you're really worried, is to get a haircut right before - everybody will notice the haircut instead of the brows (which they probably won't notice anyway). If anybody ever does, you can always say "oh ya, when I got the haircut the haircut lady insisted that I let her clean up my eyebrows too"

Anyway - hope that gives you some ideas - but you're perfect the way you are too!

This is why I love this place. i wasn't even aware you could pay someone to do eyebrows.
Im probably going to have to look into that. Plus I don't think anyone would question me if they noticed the pampered brow lol

Thankyou for your input! I really appreciate it.
You all are amazing
