Eyebrow advice? (feddit.nl)

Greetings, my fellow gays! Transfem enby here.

I've arrived at the (very early!) point in my transition where I feel like I should do something about my eyebrows. They're comparable to those of the Angry Birds, and I get made fun of because of them when I take off my glasses. They have a thick and dark frame, which follow the shape of my eyebrows and blend in perfectly, which mostly eliminates the finger pointing.

My parents are very supportive of me, thankfully, and offer to get my eyebrows waxed and a new pair of glasses. I've already decided on a frame: big, circular, thin and very gay :3c . However, I'm completely stumped on the style for my eyebrows :(. I'm not sure where I am even meant to start looking for ideas and deciding which one to pick. Might anyone be so kind as to share some advice?

When you're ready to make big changes, definitely look into threading as an alternative to waxing, a lot of folk find it less painful in the long term. (But it still really stings at first! :) )

Having thick/full eyebrows can be an advantage, since you have more to work with. I have the problem that my upper eyebrows are a bit too sparse, which makes them much more difficult to shape.
