    I would say do it. nobody has to know! would there be someone you can ask to do it though?? or do you trust yourself not to go overboard??

    dont go overboard. no shaping or any of that lark. just pluck out the Ones that look really stray. that should do ya. only thing is you'll have to keep it up when they're growing back...

    OP it is not gay!

    Ask a female friend to help. She might laugh but more than likely will get great fun watching you wince! My better half plucks mine to keep them tidy!

    Eyebrows are easy enough to do.

    The first and most important thing you need to do is to comb them in the direction of growth with a brow brush so they lie nice and flat against your face. Don't try to shape them with the brush, just flatten them out.

    You need to decide if you just want to tidy away the stray hairs underneath your brow or to actually shape them a bit.

    If you just want to tidy them, then you get your tweezers (preferably angled because they're just easier to use, any pharmacist will show you a decent one) and pluck one hair at a time. Grasp the hair as close to the skin as you can, and pull quickly in the direction of hair growth. This hurts less than just ripping it out. Only do one hair at a time, and every few, step back, put down the tweezers, brush your brows again to see how things are looking.

    If you want to shape them, I'd nearly suggest going to a pro, get them to do something (not tadpoles, some subtle shaping is all anyone needs) and then you can maintain that yourself.
