 I'd like to try doing my eyebrows. If anyone has any suggestions I'm very grateful for them. I have no idea even where to start ???

Hmm...on second thought, if you dye your hair bright colors, like blue or neon green...I'm not really qualified to say if that would look good or freaky. Or good and freaky.

Of course, it all depends on the effect you want.

LOL, I apparently modified my own post!! I wondered why it had quoted your other post...

Thank goodness for the "back" button!

My original post:

Either service costs about $10-15USD (give 'em a $2 tip), and most places I've been in don't even blink when requesting "I want my brows shaped like a woman's", or "Can you make me brows look more feminine?"

Only one place said she had no clue what I was talking about (English was not her first language), but she did have posters on the wall, so I just pointed out what I wanted. It turned out pretty good.

First take good care of your skin. With bad skin, makeup will look horrible. Second, skip the tinted moisturizer and go to foundation. Get medium coverage. If your dry skin get liquid if your oily get powder. Then focus on eyes. Use neutral colors

Happy skin feels so good it should be for all genders, and skincare is basically the same for everyone (folks say that T makes you oily and acne-prone; I'm all natural, normal T, dry skin, go figure.  ::))

I wash with oil (google "oil cleansing skin") which sounds weird but works well for most people once you find the right oil.  Coconut and olive cause pimples for a lot of people, castor oil will dry you and needs to be diluted; safflower, grapeseed, sweet almond are frequently recommended.  I'm trying avocado, but it's still too early to comment.

And shaving?  Kiss My Face shaving cream.  Comes in a pump-bottle, like a moisturizing lotion, apply to oiled damp skin and it's crazy slick. 

Just what works for me.  You'll have to experiment for yourself.
