Mascara helping?

I know, I hate these are the only photos i managed to take of it but it will have to do, mentally throw your tomatoes cause I want advice here people!​

1st photo is mascara and a small amount of brown eyeshadow applied to my mustache (along with other makeup to make me MANLEY)​

2nd is after a day of wear and it's faded a bit.

I tried to use best lighting so you can see clearly, none of my friends or peers have commented on it looking chunky, fake, or weird. But that could be of sheer politeness. Any thoughts, comments, advice, or suggestions?​​

starting minox after 1 yr on T?

hi everyone, i'm one year on T and considering minox. I feel like its kinda too soon to be bashing my facial hair since it takes years to get some cohesive growth, so I'd be taking minox more for the body hair/scalp hair benefits. I do worry about the hormone changes i've heard of. has anyone started minox after a year on T and noticed a negative effect on mental health? specifically the pill form? (i have a cat, heard topical minox is deadly to cats) it's very important to me to stay mentally stable, T has been the only thing that works as a mood stabilizer for me and I can't risk that. but at the same time I want to start minox to save my hairline/get hairier overall. is this possible?

Ignore my dry ass lips lol

Ive been using minox for about a month now and these are the results!

No real hair on the sides of my face and nothing on my chin

Is this good progress? How long until a little bit more starts to happen? 👀​

Which is better: Foam or Liquid?

So i’ve been thinking about buying minoxidil as a 17yr old pre-t guy. I have two dogs but I heard it was toxic towards animals, so I just wanna know which might be better?

Could someone recommend a brand as well? I see a bunch out there, but I don’t know which brand is better so please lmk. Preferably something I could get off of amazon

How to start on minoxidil

I can’t get testosterone medication, but I heard minoxidil can help. But I need some advice on how to start.

I can’t get it anywhere except for a drug store over the counter or amazon. I can’t get a prescription by myself and if I get it from a special store my parents will find out if They check out my card and thats not good for me.

What drugstores sell over the counter minoxidil? I live near a CVS and a Walgreens. If I have a bad chance of getting it there, what kind is good on Amazon? I have a lot of questions about it so list them out.

  1. Is there really a difference between men’s and women‘s minoxidil?
  2. should I get the oil, foam, cream, spray, or pill? I would rather not pill because of trauma related to them that causes extreme emotional reactions, but if it’s the only kind that actually works I’ll take it anyway.
  3. Is there any risk in a cheap minoxidil? Not like normal side effects but like if cheap stuff will damage the skin it’s good to know.
  4. If anyone gets it on Amazon and It works please link it.
