Do You Pluck Your Eyebrows?

[Deborah J.]

I started plucking my eyebrows about five years ago. At first I just sort of cleaned them up. Now I keep them somewhat thinner with a noticeable feminine arch to them. I also wear a very light coat of mascara most days. Even on the days that I can't dress it helps me fell more feminine. What do you girls do?

[elizabeth_sonya]

I get my eyebrows threaded monthly but not into a womans eyebrow shape. That would not go over well at work!

Hi Deborah,

I keep my eyebrows neat and as thin as I can get away with since I have to switch back and forth. I wear lipstick everyday as kind of a touchstone.

Sigh,

Considering plucking my eyebrows soon, just to generally tidy them up so that they're more feminine but won't look weird in male mode

[whowhatwhen]

I do every few days to disconnect the two since they like to grow into a unibrow.

Every month or so I'd get them cleaned up when I got a haircut, the next time I go I will be asking for more feminine eyebrows.

I usually also wear a light lip gloss too and a little translucent blush. Both hardly noticeable. It makes me feel better about myself. Not to mention underdressing, bra, panties and nylons.

[ChelseaErtel]

Oh yes I pluck. Otherwise Mr. Mono-brow would be staring at you.

I have them as thin and arched as possible. I take the outsides down quite a bit and add the arch with a pencil.

[Beverley Sims]

I always keep my eyebrows trimmed and advance alittle each time I pluck them.

[NatieBe]

Absolutely...A Gurl should be ready at the drop of a hat to look her best...XO's

[Tracii G]

Mine are so thin but I do pluck the lower ones to clean them up a bit.
Really light and hard to see anyway.

[Cassandra Lynn]

i began plucking and shaping about a year ago and did so slowly, a hair here and there, so as not to be too obvious.

I think that i fooled most people, but as i began to feel the urge to let me be me, it got more noticeable. I now get looks all the time from random people, but i think alot of that is because i also darken them with a eyebrow pencil/crayon. I also am a mascara wearer and sometimes when the fog is particularly strong and i know i can get away with it, eye liner as well.

All in all i don't think people really care, the few comments and knowing looks have been favorable and kind if not just curious.

[WandaRae2009]

I pluck and trim the rest of the hairs for a neat look. Not too feminine and no one have ever made a comment. Even my wife who is not all accepting.

[Rogina B]

I get mine waxed every other week no matter where I am. My wife is a plucker and has permanent eyebrows. Anytime she put the tweezers to me,I just started sneezing.The waxing works for me better than threading. "Thin and arched a bit" is how I describe my desires to the waxer.

[Starr]

The lady who does my hair also waxes my eyebrows.. she worked them slowly until now they are very fem.. arched a little and pretty thin... and i just love them..

[Cassandra Lynn]

I'm one of those addictive personality types, and i have to admit i am constantly in the bathroom mirror with my trusty 'Tweezerman' brand tweezers on stray hair patrol.

Sneaky little bastages are always popping up, seems like overnight.

[lingerieLiz]

I started years ago. Eventually I killed all the ones I didn't want. Did the fem thing. Line from the nose to corner of the eye etc. Now my beautician trims them when needed. As a blond mine were light and I only darkened them for out at night.

[drushin703]

deb: the only reason I don't pluck them is because I just don't know where to begin. I do take a single edge blade and try to give them some shape but just
can't seem to get the two to look the same. I guess I'm far too freaked out to go to a professional so I have to make do with being asymmetrical...dana

[laura_09]

If I pluck them how will I get them to braid with my ear hairs? Just kidding of course. I pluck and trim mine but the I still have to retaiin some of the male bushiness for work.

[krissy]

I did a while back and wore masscara but my wife caught me so i had to stop

[Diane Smith]

I get them waxed every four weeks when I have my hair appointments, and tweeze in-between as strays pop up. I had my unibrow removed by electrolysis about ten years ago, but didn't go too far toward shaping them femme at that time. Now, I wear them as thin and arched as I think I can get away with while still being able to pass as a guy once in awhile.

[Cabana Boy Page]

I just started recently. That and shaping / growing my nails a little bit. Not too noticeable but allows me to feel a little feminine when I am at work.

[jaye_cd]

I keep them trimmed up, and patrol the arch lines for strays every few days. They have a natural arch to them already that's always been pretty feminine so I've never shaped them.

[NathalieX66]

A ittle plucking here & there, but my preferred method that I swear by is buying wax strips, cutting them up into one inch ( 2cm) sections that are about 1/4 inch (5mm) wide, putting them in the microwave oven for 30 seconds, then applying on the bottom and top edges of my eyebrows. With the small strips, my aim is good every time. It takes a couple of these small strips to complete the job, but there are two strips with each piece (top & bottom), you separate the two halves.....am I making sense here?

My eyebrows look feminine for about one & half to two weeks , then the stubble starts to grow. But it sure beats the tedious job of tweezers! :cheer:

That's my beauty tip of the week.

[darla_g]

This is easier than its ever been! The current style in women's eyebrows seems to be a more natural look, cleaned up but not totally and artificially thin.

[Sara Jessica]

My eyebrows look feminine for about one & half to two weeks , then the stubble starts to grow.

Good gosh, mine seem like they last about one & a half days until the fastest growing furs on Earth start to re-emerge after a waxing.

Oh yeah, I played around with tweezing them for a while until I had a proper wax and have never looked back. But tweezing in between the waxings is a must.

[Jess Marie]

I get them waxed every 3 weeks with my hair appt. I am looking into permanent removal of my unibrow at this point, but for now, I just get waxed. The girls will often shape my eye brows too. I tell them to meet feminine half way with masculine and the results are quite well.

[donnatracey]

I pluck every so often, as needed. Esp those pesky eyebrow hairs that have turned "gray/white". Not sure what I'll do if they ALL turned that shade....:sad:

Mascara? But of course.....of course, I wear glasses so not as apparent as it might be..... Lipstick? Yes, but a shade that is not too obvious.....:heehee: Sure beats using chapstick!

[Danielle_cder]

Shave my ole unibrow. wife n are are getting some laser hair removal for each other for x mas. Plucking rhymes with f ing hurts...

[Cynthia Anne]

I keep mine neat and thin sometimes and then other times I pay to have it done!

[AllisontheGoddess]

I do =] and I learned all by myself

[bridget thronton]

I get my browse waxed

[sometimes_miss]

As I'm not 'out', I don't pluck my eyebrows. I work in a profession where all males are automaticilly assumed to be gay, so it would make trying to get a date even harder. No reason to fuel the flames.

[Cheryl T]

I tweeze my brows...I pluck chickens....

Been keeping mine thin and arched for years now and wouldn't have it any other way. A little pencil to darken and a touch of mascara and off I go.

[joan47]

waxed every two weeks, pluck in between. Very thin and arched. My wife does not like that they are so thin, but they are very light so I don't think it is to obvious

[Kate Simmons]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on my mood really. Sometimes I just trim them with scissors and fill in with mascara, which is what I learned to do years ago while in the closet.:battingeyelashes::)

[Jan Michell Collins]

I don't have to pluck or tweeze they fell out with the rest of my hair !!! I think it's a good thing

[Kerstin]

I do but not overtly fem. Some weeks back I went too far and made them too fem and I'm sure people definitely noticed, so I let them grow back a bit but keep them tidy. I'm going to gradually work them into a fem shape, with the emphasis on gradually.

[kimdl93]

I do just a bit to keep them under control. I could do a better job of shaping them, but frankly its slow and uncomfortable!

[alisa63]

I pluck a little, just enough to keep under control. I also trim them with a mustache trimmer. Also, on a nearly daily basis I wear a tad of mascara, some foundation, bronzer and a little blush. Also, pink lip gloss (not shimmery). Sometimes I also wear a little beige eyeliner (lids only). I know it sounds like a lot, but I use all natural looking stuff. I am not out and work in an office. No one has ever looked at me funny or said anything.

[stephNE]

Yes, plucked them for thirty years or more. And I guess I always will.

[joank]

Wax them as part of the monthly pedi. In between, trim and light pluck to keep the shape.

[carhill2mn]

My eyebrows are plucked and I use an eyebrow pencil to draw some on in either male or femme mode.

[reb.femme]

Definitely plucking my eyebrows. I end up looking like I've got caterpillars above my eyes if I don't, but then again, I transition into a gorgeous butterfly when dressed. Well that's my opinion anyway :battingeyelashes:.

Not gone for an arch though, as I have to be drab passable in an engineering environment. I make do with painting my toenails and wearing knickers/panties. Looking for pierced ears and laser before too long, so will have to do each one with time in between.

[Heather1129]

I pluck them every couple weeks or when they are getting out of control, fairly thin and I am trying to get an arch going...it takes time.

Heather

[Melissa_59]

Yes, but I'm also at that "wonderful age" where your eyebrows grow those really thick and malformed hairs interspersed with normal ones - I yank them out anyway just because they creep me out, and I swear they are rooted down through my body to my big toe because I really have to YANK to get them out, and my big toe jerks every time I pull on one.

[Ressie]

I trim the long hairs and pluck the gray hairs. No fem shape so far. I'd like to try it if I had the nerve. Eyebrow pencil sounds like an interesting idea.

I'm considering letting the nose hairs grow real long! lol - kidding

[shycheri]

I pluck and trim mine but I am leaning towards getting them threaded >

[STACY B]

Way to lazy for that ,,I go let um wax those babys ,,, Fast an it's all over an done with ,,,,Till next month

[Launa]

I do the waxing method. The last time the lady asked me if I wanted a bit of an arch and I said yes. I didn't tell her I'm a TG or anything cause then I'm sure I would come out of there with thin shaped brows and damn I would never want that!
