Crossdressers & transgenders guide to shaping the perfect eyebrows

Eyebrows are an essential feature in determining how attractive a person is, regardless of whether they are a man or woman. Therefore, you can drastically improve your appearance as a crossdresser/trasgender woman by giving them the perfect shape. Before you get started, you should know that this can take a few tries before you get it right, so please be cautious.

In order to figure out the best eyebrow shape for you, you need to understand the shape of your face. Men have thicker eyebrows than women. If you forget to address them, you will quite easily be spotted in a group of women.

To help you out, we’ve put together a guide that you can follow to be able to get the perfect eyebrows.

Find your face shape

Understanding the shape of your face is the first step in knowing how to shape your eyebrows. The following 5 steps will help you do just that.

Measure your face in 5 steps

You start by getting a measuring tape. Next, measure the length of your forehead just above the eyebrows, going from left to right. Now, measure your cheekbones right under your eyes. The fourth step is to measure your jawline from under your ear to the middle of your chin. Finally, measure the length of your face from your hairline to your chin.

Once you have these measurements, compare them with the following face shapes:

Oval shaped face

To have an oval-shaped face, your forehead measurement should be larger than your jawline, and your face length measurement should be greater than the width of your cheekbones.

This is the most ideal face shape to have. Therefore, if this is you, rejoice because you have the best face shape! Having this shape for your face allows you to experiment with different eyebrow shapes. Aim for rounded eyebrows, proper thickness, and slimmer arches for smaller facial features and thicker eyebrows for big lips, eyes, and more prominent foreheads.

Round shaped face

To have a round-shaped face, the length of your cheekbones and face length should be very similar, and they tend to be greater than the measurements of your jawline and forehead.

Your eyebrow needs to be well-defined with angled arches. The aim with your eyebrows is to make your face appear slimmer and more oval. Try achieving a high arch when shaping your eyebrow.

Rectangle-shaped face

Finally, we have the oblong or rectangular-shaped face. To have this shaped face, all your measurements for your cheekbone, forehead, and jawline will be in close range to each other. For this face shape, aim to create shorter eyebrows with lower arches.

Getting the ideal eyebrow shape

Now, these are to steps you need to follow to get the ideal shape for your eyebrows.

Step 1: prepare

You need to be prepared for the job with the correct tool. These are a mirror, tweezers, and eyebrow brush.

To shape your eyebrows, you need to get rid of any stray hairs. The best way to do this Is by using your tweezers and removing the hairs between the two eyebrows and the extra hairs under the actual eyebrow.

Once you are done tweezing, brush your eyebrow hair upwards. Then you take a pair of angled scissors or a small trimmer and trim your excess hairs.

The key to getting this right is to trim off a little bit and brush the hair down in the direction it naturally sits. If you need to trim it further, keep repeating the steps mentioned above till you are happy with the results.

Step 2: Shape it

Now, you need to get the right overall shape of your eyebrows.

First, use an eyeliner and mark a spot on your eyebrow that is directly above the inner tear duct of your eye. Any hair past that mark towards the other eyebrow needs to be trimmed. You can use a tweezer to do so or a trimmer. A tweezer will be slightly painful, but you have more control. Use aloe vera on your skin after you are done.

Second, you have to locate the arch and end of your eyebrow.

To do this, take a pencil and hold it at the outer corner of your nostril and place it directly across your eye, onto your eyebrow. This is the location of the arch of your eyebrow. For the end of your brow, hold the pencil at the corner of your nostril and lay across the outer edge of your eye. Use a tweezer to pull out excess hair under or over both these spots.

Step 3: Shade it

The last step of this process should be saved for special occasions as it is the most fun and gives you the most defined look. This is the colouring of your eyebrows. You may not always want to colour your eyebrows as that will take away the amazing effect when you do it occasionally.

Take an eyebrow pencil and lightly trace the outer shape of your eyebrow. Once you fill in the gaps with the pencil, take the eyebrow brush and brush the hair down to its natural shape.

Next, use powder and an angled brush to fill in the rest of the eyebrow to give it a more natural look. Take the eyebrow brush and brush the hairs in an upwards and outwards direction so that it blends in with the pencil strokes.

For the finishing touch, trace the outer shape of the eyebrow with a concealer and blend it to make it appear natural.

Conclusion

Following these steps will help you get beautiful eyebrows that anyone would kill for. Make sure to practice and don’t take drastic steps. Instead, take it nice and slow and take confidence in the fact that your eyebrows will grow back, and you can keep trying until you get it right.

Most of all, make sure to have fun with it!
