Greetings, my fellow gays! Transfem enby here.

I’ve arrived at the (very early!) point in my transition where I feel like I should do something about my eyebrows. They’re comparable to those of the Angry Birds, and I get made fun of because of them when I take off my glasses. They have a thick and dark frame, which follow the shape of my eyebrows and blend in perfectly, which mostly eliminates the finger pointing.

My parents are very supportive of me, thankfully, and offer to get my eyebrows waxed and a new pair of glasses. I’ve already decided on a frame: big, circular, thin and very gay :3c . However, I’m completely stumped on the style for my eyebrows :(. I’m not sure where I am even meant to start looking for ideas and deciding which one to pick. Might anyone be so kind as to share some advice?

    If you can afford it, going to see a professional can be an amazing experience. With eyebrows having nice full brows is actually an advantage, it leaves way more options for shaping them. I definitely recommend looking into threading them. There’s also tinting and laminating, which aren’t necessary but can help a lot.

    With threading, a clearly defined shape will be created, but they will consequently be much narrower, and depending on color and density, it can have a too light appearance. In that case, tinting can be a great option to keep the edges nice and defined. May not be an issue for you, but I think it’s good to know what your options are.

    Brow lamination, not related to paper lamination lol, is a treatment applied to your brows to keep the individual hairs pointing in an upwards direction, as though they have been brushed that way. It’s not something I’d worry about unless you want to save time doing a makeup routine, but it is an option you’ll see offered at a lot of places. If you check out before after pictures, you’ll see the effect it can have.
