Don’t like my microblading

I had microblading done last week and I really am not sure/don’t like it.

I know this is entirely my fault, I should have gone in with lots of pictures.

I asked for a soft arch, but instead I have a kind of straight eyebrow with an almost un noticeable arch.

Its my first time to this and I don’t quite know what to do?

Has anyone been in a similar situation, was your artist able to fix the issue or did you need tattoo removal? 🙁

Wow your eyebrows look amazing (and I'm def on the right pics). Where did you get them done?!

Katapolts · 29/11/2022 17:42

I think yours look fine and very like the ones in the model photos?

Did the artist not pencil the shape in for you to check before she started tattooing?

Sorry, I have to ask, are you all looking at my eyebrows or the screenshots I have taken of the models. 😊
My pictures are only eyebrows.

It’s very obvious which are yours, and that’s certainly what I was referring to. Give yourself time to get used to them.

They look a bit far apart, ask for them to fill them in a bit closer it will make all the difference

I am mystified by the concept of micro blading but I think yours look really good!

Newusername3kidss · 29/11/2022 18:26

Your eyebrows look brilliant, so natural. They should just do a shape that naturally goes in line with your nose and then arch to the edge of your eye. I remember my lady took ages measuring them up before starting.

Go to a permanent makeup correction specialist. I had a shit job done and they did a sort of reverse tattoo using saline to fade it then redid it properly.

I didn't think anything but laser could get rid of it but it worked fine

Mistletow · 29/11/2022 18:30

I see where your coming from, she didn't shape them much to be honest, more so you can see the micro blading on the edges. Id go back to her

Afterfire · 29/11/2022 19:02

Yours look great. It’s more fashionable to have straighter eyebrows so that’s probably why she’s done it like that.

Matildahoney · 29/11/2022 19:04

The thing is they can only work with the existing shape and enhance it, unless you have no brows to start with they can't change the shape as yours would grow around it. Did they not draw on what they were going to do before they started doing it?

Cornelious · 29/11/2022 20:42

Yours don't look microbladed as they look so natural. Maybe that wasn't the look you were after though?

SD1978 · 30/11/2022 00:27

The picture is too close- although understand trying to stay anonymous- can you blur/ scribble out the rest of your face and take one further away? They do have an arch- the ends closest to your nose look a wee bit too straight- but that's a close up and may not be a fair assessment from further away!

Yeah, they just need a smidge more in the middle but otherwise, they look great.

HanSB · 30/11/2022 01:06

They look fantastic but I think the gap between them is a bit too wide, they would look better a bit closer (hard to tell without your eyes in photo). In a month when you have your second appointment she can make adjustments to the shape but this shape is really lovely, soft and natural, not stern as you said and more of an arch would give that sharper, stern effect. I actually had a third appointment to add more hair strokes and adjust the shape but had to pay extra for this, it’s an option though

CourtneeLuv · 30/11/2022 01:21

Maybe see if there is someone else that can do your top up. And remember that they will shrink slightly.

PeloFondo · 30/11/2022 01:21

I sometimes brush my brows up with a bit of brow gel to get the arch stronger
Mine are tattooed, but I use brow gel because the hair is pale IYSWIM
Like this (they need trimming!)

Your eyebrows look fantastic, very natural. I don't know if the photo ones would be as easy to achieve or suit your face, they are longer and more arched than yours.

VaccineSticker · 30/11/2022 06:46

Your eyebrows look lovely. I’m looking at your own pictures not the screenshots you posted.

Overthebow · 30/11/2022 06:53

The eyebrow shape looks great but why are they so far apart? I think that’s what looks strange about it. Can you ask for them to be filled in more at the edges?

RudsyFarmer · 30/11/2022 07:00

My micro bladed eyebrows are still there five years later 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. I only went once. I swear she tattooed me.

Dancingqueenwannabe · 30/11/2022 07:02

When I had my eyebrows I was given this to help me through the stages!! I felt exactly the same when I had mine done but loved them in the end. Yours look fab x
