I found the absolute best website on the application of makeup that I have run across. It includes tips on how to make your nose look narrower/wider, how to make your jawline look smoother / less prominent and about a trillion other fantastic tips including some really good tips on concealers.

Oh, one thing the site doesn't really make clear, but should have. Only concentrate on your eyes OR your lips, never both or you'll look like a clown! If you go with exaggerated / fun / risque eye makeup, make your lipstick a shade darker / redder than your natural color and don't use a lip liner. If you go with Lips, then make your eyes subtle with soft 'earthy' shades that are close to your skin tone for eye shadow. Also if you use eyeliner use short, quick, steady strokes to make the line instead of trying to make one long steady line which won't work. Then gently blend it with a Q-Tip.
Anyway, my question was
I know how to pluck my eyebrows, but I am kinda scared to do it. Style! Channel is great for things like that and even when I was hiding who I was, I would still religously watch style. But, if I pluck and shape my eyebrows, I am scared I might make my face too feminine, and then going in to work on monday I might get some awfully strange looks. The eyebrows are so important to your face and greatly enhance your features and work towards feminizing it. When someone plucks them to almost non-existance it very noticably looks horribly unnatural. When someone has horrible bushy, unkempt eyebrows it is very noticable, but when they are a good width, and well arched, it brings out a very feminine appearance that is VERY noticable.
Thoughts? My therapist did make a very good point in that, for most people, something like this is beyond even imagining. I could have FFS done tomorrow and it still would not 'hit' them, I would just get comments like, have you lost weight? or something like that. However, I am not sure I even want to run the risk of that, I need my job.
