Pluck Pluck β¦ Pluck Pluck
Let me explain … see … those new pictures I posted … of me re-shaping my brows …
Honestly … it looks worse than it actually was …
I’m really not that anal-retentive, over analytical, disturbingly evaluative.
Whatever.
I doubt I’m the only girl who has ever marked up her face with liner as part of her brow shaping activities. It’s just most of the others tend to be in their mid-teens when doing it.
Anyways … in my opinion … eyebrows are the picture frames of the face … they can really enhance your appearance or do a great disservice.
And it’s a totally dangerous thing to attempt on your own … because it’s really easy to dork up your eyebrows.
Now I have mine shaped at a salon … but the last time I had them shaped, the woman doing it thought I was a guy … so though I was able to scam a feminine shape … it wasn’t exactly what I wanted.
Also, my face has started to settle since my ffs and my brows are in a different location than they were … a location with a shape that I didn’t think looked good at all.
So I did some on-line research as to what to do … what would work with my face … tips and suggestions … stuff I had done before … and decided to go at it.
I also mentally prepared myself for the very good possibility I’d totally screw it up !! π
Now … you see … reallly … I am a blonde !!!! And my eyebrows … totally white blonde, you really can’t see them that well. So in order to get a good view as to what I was going to pluck … I applied the shadow that I use on my brows to shade them normally … but I didn’t feel I was getting enough visability for the little ones that needed plucking … so I figured I’d apply a little mascara to see if that helped …
It did, but geezuz, did I ever create a mess.
My hair kept falling in my face, which is how normally I like it, but it didn’t work well for plucking … and it was getting mascara over everything … so I clipped and bobby-pinned it back for that nice, just slept in, hair-do …
And then … plucking hairs with mascara on them … it’s a bit more of a challenge than I would have thought …
Plus with all that shadow and mascara everywhere … it made it a bit more difficult to actually see what the heck I was plucking and the shape for which I was striving … oh, and if you were wondering … in addition to my lashes, I apparently have the ability to clump my mascara on my brows, too !! π
Anyways … after all was said and done … I was surprised I didn’t ph- myself up more than I did … sweet. π And I thought I looked like a total dweeb in those pics, so of course, I had to share them !! π
P.S. Guys who are reading this post … just forget you’ve ever read it or seen the pics. Just move along … nothing to see with this post … move along, move along.
Wooo hooo !! At least I can drive !! π Or were you referring to the magazine? Because I already have a subscriptiooon … hey, I just received my last issue of your present for me last year π … I’m so going to rig it so that you draw my name again !! π
What a hilarious story! I pluck my brows in the car whenever there is good light and I have a free moment…say, at a stop light? You are so 17!
the redistribution of facial hair
is trickier than you had, at first,
imagined?
:p
lol I know, I know … I should have … but it sounded like a fun thing to do at the time … and actually … it was … I totally amused myself for a good hour or so !! π And hey … now I sorta, kinda, maybe know how to shape one’s eyebrows !! π Well, kinda … π
amy Amy Amy…hon! Get thee to a salon post haste and get them professionally done again..this time as a girl..ok?
Once they are shaped PROFESSIONALLY, they will look right for your face, and you can maintain them that way…
OK? ’nuff said…

I plucked my brows into shape gradually over a period of about six months before transition, while I was nominally living as a guy. (For some odd value of “guy”.) People may have noticed, but no one ever commented.
LOL I so need to be under supervision sometimes !! lol π
-shakes head-

but i’m sure that kevin aucoin would approve nonetheless.
