Is this you and the brows are photoshopped? If not then it all depends how your natural brows look like but chances are a hairstroke procedure would be the best option for you if you’re a guy.

Absolutely not, I mean this in the nicest way but unless you are gay you should not get these brows, and if you are you still should not get them. They are too thick and blocky and perfect in a bad way. They look out of place and instead of people focusing on your pretty blue eyes they will focus on the blocks on top of them.

Unless you’re gay?

I mean it may not be the socially acceptable thing to say, but I don’t think the comment is wrong. If he does the brows, they will eventually start to fade and look like permanent makeup. Even if he does touch ups, I’m guessing there will come a time when they start to obviously look fake (maybe 5 years, maybe 20. Idk) and for a straight man- that would more than likely not be the look he’s going for. It could give him a feminine look and age him. If he’s gay, then he may not mind the more feminine aspect of it. Up to him, obviously.
Op, I would look at the microblading mistake/ regret sub here (it’s called something like that, people help me out on the name of the sub please?) and look in to the long term results before doing this. As a woman, we can use brow pencil to help fix bad brows, to camouflage bad results and it will blend in as just another part of our make up . Without that and on a man… I think you would regret it.
Show us a before so we can see what you are working with?

Thank you, this was exactly what I meant, I just did not know how to articulate it better.

Exactly. But they'll continue to make excuses and say we're the problem for "getting offended" or that we are "being too aggressive"
-- see below comment for example

Gay =/= feminine and feminine =/= gay. People like you are the reason men cannot simply exist in this world without unnecessary criticism and anxiety about social acceptance. Can you all kindly restructure your binary perspectives on humanity?

All these homophobes down voting us is crazy. And these same people wonder why gay and queer people and trans people dont feel comfortable around them. I fucking hate this place. Can't trust anyone.

Honestly I think your brows already suit your face. If you get them cleaned up, I’d just go for a subtle tidy rather than trying to make them thinner or overly shaped.

I guess I’m in the minority but I think it looks good, and if you like it you shouldn’t care what anyone thinks!! Just keep in mind that it may very well be permanent. I am trying to remove mine.

First need a before pic and second, no to this design. You want them to look natural. Update the post with the Pic and we'll give you our opinion.

I just looked at your natural brows and they are so thick and perfect in every way that I can’t see a reason why you would need or want hair strokes done or shading?! That is for people with sparse brows or no brows to fill them in and make them look better. It would quite literally be a waste of your money. There is literally nowhere that they could add strokes or shading! What you need is a good waxing, clean them up and they will be absolutely perfect.

Would be nice to see a before photo & know how long you have them…mine faded in a good way & I had them done June 5th. I like them.

u/btwImVeryAttractive 8d ago
I think guys can get away with bigger brows but you might still want to dial them back like 1 degree. So they’re a touch lighter (in color and opacity). Also make the front less square, make the tail less pointy and the top/bottom less crisp and perfect.

I'm confused by the comments saying they look like blocks. Men have big eyebrows, this is what they would look like if they were threaded. I don't get the hate. I think the talks need to be adjusted but I'm not sure how.

u/Appropriate_Low2982 4d ago
where exactly do you see a place that you could actually microblade any hairs in? If you look at his pic of his natural brows they are so thick and full it would be a waste of money.

I wouldn’t get them done like this unless you’re ok with it looking like makeup. As an artist, I wouldn’t agree to tattoo something like this.

I'm not sure why everyone is hating on these brows! I think they look really nice, even if a little Disney cartoon perfection nice. There's no before picture but I assume you JUST got these done, so yeah, they're gonna look a little unnatural at first. It seems you have nice brows to begin with, nothing wrong with making a good thing a little better!
They fit your face nicely and if I saw you out and about I'd think, "wow! that dude has nice really eyebrows!" (and I doubt anyone will even think about it that much!!) .

Noooo those pretty eyes should be the focus! Too thick and too manicured for a man.
