r/microblading

the right is how i usually do them with makeup, i don’t mind the asymmetry too much. i showed her my makeup eyebrows as inspo, the left is what she did. i just feel like she made them so thick ): compared to what i asked for in not too sure if its all in my head but i feel like they look humongous on my face. i’ve never been a fan of thick eyebrows on my face so im freaking out because now im stuck with them

Hi All! I got nanobrows done today. I am extremely happy with the line work, I’m delighted to have real looking eyebrows that I don’t need to fiddle with day to day.

I have a top up / follow up booked for 2 months from now during which I think I’ll ask for the ends to be slightly added to for some deeper colour.

What do we think? Im slightly worried now that im home that the shape isn’t exactly matching, even though she did a fantastic job mapping them out - maybe im just scrutinising because I’ve been staring so much in the mirror today 🤔

I just did ombre powder brows 4 days ago. I was instructed not to get my eyebrows wet for 4 days, and to start washing my face day 6 (kinda unclear… so can i technically get them wet at day 5? lol)

It’s definitely starting to scab but when I look at it closer, I see a little bit of yellow crusties. Is this a sign of infection? I want to wash my brows with some light cleanser (cetaphil) but i’m also afraid of deviating from my artist’s instructions.

Any advice?

PMU artist here sharing my work here cause I know you guys will be honest with me 😂
But also sharing that brow tattoos can look natural and realistic!!

I’m always looking to improve and refine my skills so I’m accepting any feedback ❤️ thank you ☺️

My goal is to get my brows looking like the AI edit (yes, it added lashes too. Ignore that, lol) The original are my virgin brows, never plucked or messed with them … that’s just their shape. I was one more text away from going into nano combo brows and thinking my life was going to change, but then I stumbled upon this subreddit. It seems that the overall opinion on long-term microblading and nano brows are negative and that they’ll all eventually turn into a harsh block. Looking older is my bigger fear, so I don’t want my brows to ever age me. I’m only 20 and if anything, I think the AI brows make my brows look even more youthful and healthy, but given my age and aim to keep these new brows for the rest of my life (60+ yrs God willing), it seems like multiple touch ups every few yrs for a large span of time will ultimately leave them looking like blocks and making me look fake ?

Now Im kind of stuck, lol. Any advice ? Are these brows unattainable for me in the long-term? I’m in a sunny climate (LA) if that matters.

I got combo brows done today and I can’t tell if I’m just not used to them yet or if something feels off 😅

The first photo is my new brows right after the appointment. The second photo is a collage showing the new brows, no makeup/natural brow photo, and how I used to fill in my brows before.

I’d really appreciate honest opinions on shape, thickness, symmetry, colour, and whether they suit my face overall.

Do they look better than how I did them before? Too bold? Pretty normal for fresh combo brows? Please be honest!

Didn't have much in the way of eyebrows before chemo and then had nothing! Finally got microblading done today and am super happy with the outcome!

Helloo I actually posted the 1st photo in other account but I lost it 😭 but I really wanted to update abt my process so I created this new one. Also, sorry for the weird looking photos, all of them are zoomed in from selfies since I always forgot abt talking photos of only my eyebrows.

I asked abt advice with the first photo because I literally hated them and cried the full week because of how weird they looked. They were soo dark and boxy, and even though your comments helped me, I still felt bad. I’m a straight eyebrow lover (even though it’s not for everyone) so seeing my eyebrows in that weird shape really hurt me. I even thought I would have to change my everyday makeup style because I felt like I looked awful with my eyebrows like that.
I started loving them in the second week since they looked much more lighter and thinner somehow? And around the month healed I finally fully liked my eyebrows again.
I got a touch up today because I have a small part of the right one slightly lighter than the rest of the eyebrow but now it’s also solved! They look soooo pretty now in person, I swear, the photo really doesn’t make justice to them. The color is also perfect since I like more of a softer look.

I hope my experience can relieve someone who is feeling like I felt before :)

Hi,

I am almost 50 years old (ok, turning 48 this summer, so at the moment 47).
I have always had full lips, but in the past years they have become thinner and the countoure is not really visible any more!
I am scheduled for a lip blush tomorrow morning and i start go wonder if that is really the way to go?
I hate doing make up every morning and i really like my pmi brows i did a couple of months ago.

What do you say?

It's the first day of my microbleading touch-up. Will this dark color fade?

I am almost 7 weeks post saline removal. I have made a few posts asking questions. So if you are stumbling across me again, welcome back. These were originally a combo brow with one touch up. One laser removal session which left red pigment behind. I then got saline removal to, hopefully, remove the biggest remainder of the red pigment. Many wonder why I didn’t do laser again. Truthfully, the closest place to get laser removal done is over 3 hours away. So I decided to give saline a try. Well… they’re so incredibly red. They’re more red than they were before. No pain or swelling, the skin is slightly sensitive if scratched or poked, but overall it is very smooth and painless. This is after a wash and oil, as I do every night. The artist did the saline treatment around my eyebrow hair so when looking at the skin underneath the hair it looks as it did before going in for the treatment and that skin is far less red than the saline treated skin (last picture for reference). I am genuinely wondering if I am still healing or if I caused my brows to be more red than before. My experience with PMU has been absolutely horrendous from day one (bad artist who gave me botched eyebrows from the start). I am seriously hoping that I am still healing. I fully expect to have some scarring and maybe even some red pigment left over, the artist who did the saline treatment seemed very confident that it would remove the remaining pigment but I’m really starting to have doubts. Thanks for reading this far!😊

I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ant at Ellebrow. I was extremely nervous going into the process because I wanted very natural-looking Nano Brows and was scared of ending up too bold or overly “done.” Ant completely understood the assignment from the very beginning.

She took so much time mapping everything out, explaining the process, answering every single question, and making sure I felt comfortable before starting. The attention to detail was unreal. I never felt rushed at any point.

What impressed me most was how natural and customized the final result looks. The shape fits my face perfectly, the strokes healed beautifully, and somehow my brows still look soft and effortless while being so much fuller and more defined.

The whole experience honestly felt luxurious and reassuring from start to finish. Ant was patient, professional, meticulous, and genuinely cared about getting the best result possible.

If anyone is considering Nano Brows and is nervous like I was, I would 1000% recommend Ellebrow and Ant. Best decision ever.

63 years old. Lost all my brows years ago. Never got good at drawing them in and on the rare occasion one (rarely both) came out good, I would catch a raindrop or something Woukd wipe one off! Debated permanent makeup brows for years and years. Today.... I DID IT!!

I got a lipblush 6 days ago and ask for a really natural result. Im done peeling and am left with this. I know its normal for it to be patchy but am panicking about the darkness, especially on the inner top lip and bottom lip outline. Its also really grey which i understand is normal during the ghosting phase but I surely cant be ghosting if it's this dark? It was really dark in the beginning but since i swelled i figure i was also red underneath. Looking for advice because what im seeing online about healing is confusing since everyone's looks so different than mine. The artist I went to is really experienced and is known for natural looking results. My lips were so pale before.

I finally got my eyebrows micro bladed and I LOVE THEM! But it’s day 4 and I’m not scabbing 👀 I’m a wild sleeper and woke up on my side a couple of times. Did I mess something up or am I overthinking? I added pictures of before , the mapping, day one and this morning in that order !

Hi y’all! I got powderbrows done last week but they are so uneven… she told me she could fix this with the touch-up appointment after the 6 week period but I don’t know how she would do that tbh. I know they are supposed to be dark and bold the first few weeks but the shape just seems so off? Please don’t be too harsh on me 🩷
