While permanent makeup is often associated with enhancing traditionally feminine features, there are several procedures that can be beneficial for transgender men as well. These procedures focus on creating a more masculine appearance, often by adding definition and structure to the brows: This can be achieved through techniques like eyebrow microblading or powder brows, which create the illusion of fuller, thicker brows.
