transgender makeup tips
Locating critical brow boundaries: Place a TgCosmetics.com eye pencil at the outer edge of the nose. Keep the base of the pencil fixed at the nose and rotate it to find key brow dimension points. Vertically it aligns where the brow should generally start. Allow the inner part of the brow to begin a little bit inward beyond the vertical line. Aligning with the center of the pupil of the eye, it locates the high point of the arch.
Aligned with the outer lower edge of the eye, it locates the point where the brow should end. The beginning and end of brow should be at the same height. Tweeze from below the brow, not above.
Shaping and tweezing brows
Brows that are well shaped can make the most dramatic impact of any facial feature to create a beautiful look.
Tg Cosmetics's best advice is to relax and take it slow. Pay the most attention to the shape of the arch and inner corner of the brow. Go slow and re-check your progress often. A mistake can take 3-6 months to grow back. You don’t have to do it all in one day. Stop if you feel unsure.
General TgCosmtics tips:
• Never try to change the shape of your natural brow arch with tweezing, it simply ruins the shape of the brow. You should rather enhance your natural arch when tweezing hairs.
• Tweeze brows after a shower or bath when skin is softer and pores are more open or place a warm wash cloth over your brows for five to ten minutes before tweezing.
• A topical anesthetic is good if you have a low threshold for skin sensitivity.
• Tweezing hairs does not make them grow back thicker, repeated plucking of the same hair may cause hair to stop growing over time.
• Expect total re-growth to take as long as 3-6 months.
• Always use natural light.
• To preview how you want brows to look place a light concealer on brows with a small tipped brush to "white out" hairs you plan to tweeze.
• As brows hairs grow keep brows brushed into place with brow fix, brow gel or hairspray.
Tweezing:
• Pull skin taut and remove hairs one by one by pulling them in the direction of the hair growth.
• When tweezing grab hair close to the root and then pull gently.
Shaping:• Get rid of obvious renegade hairs like those near the eyelid, between eyes or past the outer end of the brow.
• Define the inner corners, pluck hair by hair until the brow’s inner edge is generally in line with the eyes inner corner. Don’t over do it, leave some hairs just beyond the inner eye corner area to avoid the inner part of the brow from looking too defined or exact.
• No two eyebrows are alike, go for balance rather than perfection. Stick with the natural line, don’t pluck on top, it will distort the shape
• Work from the inner corner to the outer corner on the underside of the brow, thin out over thick area by removing one hair at a time until all hairs in that row are gone.
• Don’t over pluck hairs. Leave hairs that fall slightly above that row to get a softer effect and avoid leaving gaps. Brush brows back into place, in the direction the hair grows, often as you tweeze.
• 
If you are unsure about removing a certain hair, leave it alone. Leaving is always better than plucking it. You can always decide to pluck it later.
Styling:
Use an eyebrow pencil that is close to the color of your natural brows with a non-greasy, fine point to fill in brows with fine hair-like strokes to the shape you want them to be.
Eyebrow pencils: Generally Taupe colored pencils work for blonde, strawberry blonde, auburn, and red hair. Cocoa works for brown hair and white hair. Black or Silverstone works for black hair. Silverstone works for Afro-American skin. Silverstone works for gray hair.
