Your eyebrows are like the perfect frame for a beautiful picture—they bring balance and personality to your face.
For anyone on a male-to-female (MTF) journey, shaping and feminizing your eyebrows can make a world of difference in softening your features and expressing your true self. But where do you start?
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about creating feminine eyebrows, from understanding the ideal shape to tips and tricks for achieving that polished, gorgeous look.
Whether you’re a makeup newbie or a beauty pro, this post is here to help you embrace your fabulous femininity, one brow at a time!
Tips For Shaping MTF Eyebrows
Looking at the strikingly shaped eyebrows in Laverne Cox’s photo, it is clear that they add a significant amount of definition and feminine allure to her face. If you want to achieve this look for yourself, here’s how:
1. Comb Your Eyebrows
Before starting to wax or tweeze, it’s important to groom your eyebrows.
Take an eyebrow brush and comb your brow hair upwards.
Then, using grooming scissors, trim any hairs that extend beyond the natural upper edge of your brow. Repeat on each side.
Finally, brush the brow hair downwards and trim any long hairs once again with the grooming scissors.
2. Have your eyebrows professionally shaped
My top tip is to get your eyebrows professionally shaped if you can! An eyebrow artist knows exactly how to shape them to suit your face and bring out your best features.
While waxing is super popular, I actually love eyebrow threading more. It gives a more precise shape, and it’s often more affordable too!
You can usually find eyebrow threading kiosks at the mall or shopping centers, and they’re pretty budget-friendly. Just make sure to check reviews to find the best places with great service.
3. Pluck Or Wax Your Eyebrows
Since you’ve already drawn your brow shape, it’s super easy to spot which hairs need to go! Just focus on removing the ones that fall outside your outline.
Start by washing your face with warm water.
This opens up your pores and makes plucking much easier (and less ouchy!).
Then, carefully tweeze the extra hairs.
Work underneath your brows to clean up the shape and even out the lines.
Once you’re done, apply a little aloe vera to your brows. It’ll help calm any redness, soothe your skin, and keep those hair follicles happy and healthy. Now you’ve got beautifully shaped brows—yay!
If you’re thinking about waxing your eyebrows, make sure to read the instructions carefully before you begin.
When applying the wax, only put it under your brows, never on top.
Once the wax is on, press the strip down gently with your fingers to smooth it out and remove any air bubbles.
After waxing, place a cool cloth over your eyes for a few seconds to help reduce any swelling or discomfort.
Just a little tip—if you go for super-thin brows, they might not look quite right when you’re in “male mode.” But no worries! Fuller brows are totally in style right now, so you’ll be on trend!
4. Determine Eyebrows Shape
When shaping your eyebrows to appear more feminine, it’s important to work with the natural shape of your brows and bone structure.
To determine where your brows should begin, use an eyeliner pencil or brow pencil against the middle of your nostril and align it straight up with your brow.
Mark a small line where it meets the brow; this is the starting point for your eyebrow.
Next, align the pencil from the same starting point to the outside corner of your eye and mark another small line where it meets the brow; this will be the end point of your eyebrow.
Finally, focus on shaping the tail of your brows by aligning the pencil from the starting point to the center of your eye, marking a small line where it meets the brow.
This will be the highest point of your arch.
To make things easier, grab a white eyeliner pencil to mark the key spots and highlight any hairs you want to remove.
Using your pencil, draw a line along the bottom edge of the fullest part of your brow.
Start at the inner corner, angle slightly upward toward the arch, and then curve gently down to the outer end.
This line should follow the shape of a soft, feminine eyebrow with a delicate arch.
A softly curved brow adds such a lovely, gentle vibe to your entire face!
5. Check Other Directions
After you’ve plucked and trimmed your brows, grab your spoolie and give them a good brush.
Start by brushing your brows upwards and outwards—this helps make sure they’re perfectly shaped and lets you catch any stray hairs you might have missed.
Take a moment to check yourself in the mirror from different angles to see if they need any extra grooming.
Finally, finish off with a clear brow gel. Use the angled brush to gently swipe the gel in upward strokes, keeping your brows locked in place all day. You’ll have flawless, pretty brows in no time! 💕
It may be a better idea to visit a salon if it’s your first time grooming.
They will help your eyebrows with professional shaped, and then you can try to maintain the shape yourself with regular tweezin
