Light brown microblading eyebrows shapes8/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Don’t plan on any photoshoots or blind dates while this is going on. About 8 days after I had my brows microbladed the scabs started peeling off. Because of that, and I’m not a microblader so I’m just assuming here, but the eyebrow turned into one huge scab. My microblader used a shadowing technique because she’d taken off my entire tail and strokes alone weren’t going to be enough to make my brows look natural. Anyway, it took about 5-6 days before the scabs started falling off… exhibit A I knew it, but I was used to seeing myself a certain way and brows can totally change the way a person looks!! I felt like I didn’t look like me anymore!!! Obviously I was being ridiculous, more on that down below. I have very hooded eyes and my brows grow close to my eyes. I’ll do a comparison further down but my artist actually shaved off my tails and lifted my brow arch so that I had more eyelid to play around with. If we are being totally honest I hated the shape for a handful of weeks. I don’t think she healed any faster but her experience was a lot less painful and there was zero scabbing. She was told to wet her brows several times a day and her artist did not want her brows to scab. *My sisters experience was very different. This picture below is the day after I got them microbladed and the scabs turned jet black. When your strokes turn into scabs your brows are CRAZY dark. So what happens is your artist will cut strokes into your skin with a microblading blade and not everyone bleeds but I sure did! The strokes will scab and it’ll take up to two weeks for them to fall off and heal. Ask your artist whether or not you’re going to be numbed! I would find someone who uses quality pigment and can just numb you right off the bat! How long did it take to heal? My original artist did not numb on the first pass – she claimed it helped with color retention and blood flow? I’m not entirely sure that’s the case (because it started fading a few months later) but it was excruciatingly painful. Did it hurt? LIKE HELL.Īnd I never swear so that’s a big deal ha ha!!! I was not prepared for it! I was told by a friend that she was numbed the entire time and that it didn’t hurt at all. Don’t ever be afraid to walk away and listen to your gut. How are they editing their pictures? Do they show video? Post client reviews? Are their clients happy with their brows a year + later? Ask a lot of questions before committing and don’t be afraid to get a few different consults. Make sure they have a portfolio or Instagram account that showcases their work. I am no longer sharing this information but I will say – do your homework. It can last anywhere from 1-3 years depending on various factors. While it falls under the permanent makeup category it’s much less invasive than getting an actual tattoo and it’s only semi-permanent. It’s basically a tattoo for your eyebrows. I’ve been asked by so many of you though to dish all the details so I thought it’d be easier to just come here and share my experience. Is it worth it? How much does it cost? Does it hurt? In all honesty I wasn’t planning on doing a full blog post about this so I’m sorry that the pictures are mostly random selfies I found on my phone.

Have you had a good experience with the color lasting? I’m just a girl sharing my opinions and personal experience, that in no way makes me an expert. I’ve had 8 laser tattoo removal sessions and 3 microneedling sessions and it still etched into my skin. ![]() You can read my post “How Microblading Changed My Shape & Why I’m Removing It” HERE. I’m unfortunately needing to get laser tattoo removal because microblading IS NOT semi-permanent like I had originally thought. ![]() Because getting my brows done every six months just wasn’t an option for me I decided to find a new artist who could give me a more natural shape and who used a different technique and pigments. It could be poor pigment and technique, poor post-op care, or excess oil production. After digging around I learned there are a few things that cause poor color retention. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. UPDATE!!!! It’s been one year since my first experience with microblading, and boy have I learned a lot!! Do you want the bad news first? My strokes only lasted four months and the shadowing started greying around 6.
