When I see a beautiful woman that has alopecia, that keeps me going. I am newly diagnosed with AU and at this point, I just don't want it to be noticable, I want to cover it up. I'm sure someday I will accept it..and I don't look bad bald. I have seen a bunch of women here that are beautiful and it gives me hope that maybe I can look like me again. In many of your pics, I can't even tell that you have alopecia! Not that I'm saying people should hide it...but for me, right now, I need to. So if anyone has any makeup tips..please share...I need help! I still kinda look like Im closing my eyes in pictures even when I wear lashes..I don't get it...what am I missing? thanks!

You look very pretty in that photo with your wig. I am sure you are even more beautiful bald. There is nothing quite as sexy and beautiful as a pretty bald lady.

Although my eyelashes and eyebrows are sort of coming back now I still find I have to wear make up. I've gone with false lashes in the past but find they take too much time and effort and then your always worried one will fall off or something. I tend to go with dark liners and found a light brown pencil to do my brows with. I got really good at shaping my brows but would still love to get something semi-permanent tattooed on (semi because I bet things would look strange if my real ones grew back in a different shape). I don't think you're missing anything honestly, it just takes time to find what works best for you and become more accepting of your situation. We're all here to help though!! Keep your chin up!

Well,

Learn to be comfortable in your own skin. That is hard because it takes time to get used to this. I have AU so I have not had eyelashes and eyebrows in like 10 years so it is not a shock anymore. LOl... I had my eyebrows permanently done and I am getting my eyeline done as well. Just understand that beauty will come from within and you will see things that you never even knew made you beautiful

Hi Guys, There is a discussion on the site about pencils, semi-permanent and permanent tattoo eyebrows that you may want to look at.

Thanks for the compliments! It's weird because in the mirror and in person, when I use just liner...I look normal, but sometimes, in pics, I look cross eyed or something...I will find one and post it one of these days. Cat I havent tried lower lashes yet. Honestly, I dont think lashes are worth it...maybe just once in awhile...they are SUCH a pain to put on!! No one knows I dont have lashes unless I tell them..its not something u look for unless you DONT have them. BUt hey maybe thats what makes me look weird in pics...I dunno!! Anyways...thanks again for the help!
