I wanted to share one of my recent microblading results.
The goal wasn't to completely change her brows, but to create an ultra-natural result that suits her facial features. By subtly refining the shape and adding realistic hair strokes where needed, we were able to lift the eyes and bring more balance to the face without it looking "done."
What do you think ?
One of my latest Microblading clients. 😊
She felt her brows were too sparse towards the tails, lacked a bit of definition, and were slightly asymmetrical. The goal wasn't to completely change her brows, but simply to enhance what she already had while keeping the result as natural as possible.
The second photo is the before, and the third one is result after the procedure. 😊
What do you think? 🤍
Loved working on this beautiful client! 🤎 I always enjoy creating soft, natural-looking brows that enhance the face without looking overdone. Really happy with how this Microblading turned out! What do you think? 😊
One of my recent Microblading clients.
She already had a beautiful natural brow shape, we simply added a little more definition and fullness in a few areas while keeping the result as natural as possible.
Would you have gone any bolder, or do you prefer this softer result? 🤍
I know this is a bit of a controversial topic because a lot of people say mature skin should never be microbladed.
Personally, I don't think it's that simple. Not every mature client is a good candidate, of course. But when they are, and you adapt your technique and pressure to the skin, beautiful and natural results are absolutely possible.
Curious to hear your thoughts. 😊

Unpopular opinion: the biggest investment you can make in Microblading isn't a new blade or a new pigment...
It's latex.
Hours of it.
People often ask me how I got my hair strokes to look the way they do today.
The answer is honestly pretty boring 😂
I've been doing Microblading for over 10 years and latex is still part of my routine.
You don't stop practicing because you've become experienced. If anything, experience teaches you why practice matters so much.Every clean hair stroke I do today is built on thousands of strokes nobody will ever see.
I don't think practice is something you graduate from. The best artists I know never stop practicing.
Am I the only one who still practices on latex after all these years ?
Maybe an unpopular opinion:
The most impressive PMU results are often the ones that don't look impressive at first glance.
No huge transformation.
No dramatic shape change.
Just small adjustments that make the entire face look more balanced.
I think the best work is when people notice that someone looks better... without immediately realizing why.
Here's a recent example.
If this was your face, would you have asked for more density, or would you leave it exactly like this?
Just wanted to share a recent Microblading result on a male client 😍
I absolutely love working on men's brows ❤️
The challenge is completely different: keeping everything natural, subtle and masculine while still creating more balance and structure.
For me, the best compliment is when nobody can tell any work was done... they just think he looks better 😄
What do you think of this one?
Would you have accepted this client?
She came in with a 5-year-old PMU that had faded significantly over the years.
The option of removal was discussed, of course, but it wasn't something she was particularly interested in pursuing.
After assessing the remaining pigment, its color, saturation, and the available space to work with, I felt that a correction was a reasonable option in this case.
So we went ahead with a new Microblading procedure.
Here's the result.
Would you have accepted this case, or would you still have recommended removal first?
I'd be curious to hear both artists' and clients' opinions. 😊
I got the chance to work on an upper spine brow pattern last week.
For most people, that probably doesn't sound very exciting... but for a brow artist, it's a bit like finding a rare Pokémon 😂
An upper spine is a brow pattern characterized by an upwards flow of the hairs, creating a very specific movement.
They require a completely different stroke flow than what most artists are used to. If the pattern isn't adapted correctly, the healed result can quickly look unnatural.
I always enjoy working on these kinds of cases because they force you to think differently and really follow the client's natural growth pattern rather than relying on your usual habits.
What do you think of the result? And for the artists here, which spine pattern do you find the most challenging to work with?
Why did this client choose powder brows instead of microblading?
I love both techniques, and I don't believe there is one perfect solution for everyone.
This client has visibly oily skin, so during our consultation we discussed both microblading and powder brows.
After reviewing the pros and cons of each option, she ultimately chose powder brows.
On oily skin, powder brows generally offer better retention and a more predictable healed result over time, which is why I felt it was the most suitable option in her case.
The result? She still walked away with exactly what she was looking for: a natural-looking enhancement that adds definition, fills sparse areas, helps correct asymmetry, and creates a more lifted appearance to the eyes.
I know many clients automatically ask for microblading because they associate it with a more natural result, but skin type should always be part of the conversation.
For clients: if you originally wanted microblading but were advised to get powder brows instead, were you happy with the decision?
I want to encourage every artist who's just starting out.
Recently, someone shared one of my old microblading results from 2018 in an attempt to criticize my work.
And honestly?
I don't mind at all.
In fact, I have absolutely no shame in showing it.
I'm proud of the tremendous progress I've made over the last 8 years.
The photos at the top show my work in 2018, shortly after I completed my training.
The photos at the bottom show my work today, after 8 years of practice, thousands of procedures, and countless hours of training.
Looking back, I can immediately see several things I would do differently: better stroke flow, better spacing, more natural patterns, better overall structure, and a much better understanding of how strokes heal over time.
If there's one thing that allowed me to improve, it wasn't talent.
It was practice.
And I'll never say it enough: latex practice.
You have to live it, eat it, breathe it.
Thousands and thousands of strokes.
Most beginners underestimate how much practice it takes to develop muscle memory, consistency, and control.
Every hour spent practicing on latex pays off later on real clients.
I'm curious:
If you were reviewing this 2018 work today, what would you identify as the biggest mistakes?
And for the artists here, what helped you improve the most over the years?
Also, if enough people are interested, I'd be happy to share some of the latex exercises and training methods that helped me improve over the years.
Microblading isn't the problem. Bad microblading is.
Over the last few years, I've seen more and more people claim that microblading is outdated, damages the skin, or inevitably ages badly.
I disagree.
What ages badly is poor technique.
When strokes are placed too close together, implanted too deep, or touch-ups are performed year after year without properly assessing the healed result, the brows eventually become blurry and oversaturated.
And then people blame the technique itself.
Another important point: microblading is absolutely not a permanent technique. That's probably one of the biggest misconceptions in this industry.
A good microblading result is actually supposed to be temporary. That's one of the main reasons why so many clients are attracted to it in the first place.
After a few months, the pigment gradually fades. This is especially true after a first procedure, since the skin is receiving pigment for the very first time.
A well-executed microblading should heal with visible, separated hair strokes and maintain a natural appearance throughout its lifespan. Then it should gradually fade, allowing for a new treatment or adjustments if needed.
The problem is that most people only see fresh results on social media. Very few artists consistently show healed work.
So maybe the real question isn't:
"Does microblading age badly?"
Maybe the real question is:
"How much bad microblading have we normalized in this industry?"
Curious to hear both artists' and clients' opinions on this.
One of the biggest misconceptions in PMU is thinking that blurry healed microblading is “normal.”
It’s not.
When microblading is done properly, healed hair strokes are supposed to remain visible, separated, and natural over time. Of course the result will look softer than day one, but you should still be able to distinguish each individual stroke.
So why do some brows end up turning into a blurry block after 1 year?
Usually, it comes from a combination of factors:
One of the most common mistakes I see is artists trying to create more density by packing too many strokes together. Fresh, the result may look impressive, but once healed, the strokes slightly expand in the skin and begin blending together.
That’s when the hair stroke effect disappears.
Beautiful microblading is all about spacing, flow, depth, and control. Sometimes doing less actually creates a much more realistic healed result.
A beautiful healed result should still feel airy.
Not turn into one solid block.
Photo 1: an example of poorly healed microblading after some time. The strokes were placed too close together and have gradually blended into one another, creating a blurry and oversaturated result.
Photo 2: my own healed work several months later. You can still clearly see separated hair strokes because the spacing, depth, and pressure were properly controlled during the procedure.
This is why healed results matter more than fresh photos.
