Micro blading issue

I had my brows microbladed 10 months ago. From the off I realised (too late) that the shape wasn't right. I love everything about my brows apart from the shape (basically way too thick/rounded at the top inside edge at the beginning of the arc). I hate seeing photos of myself because the shape is so fucking weird and I was FaceTiming my niece tonight and all I could think about was how bizarre my brows look.

Beautician will start badgering me soon to book the anniversary consult and I just don't know how to address the shape issue. I've tried covering the extra bit of the curve with make up but it's tricky plus sort of counter productive if I've still got to spend ages applying make-up (I'm a quick eye liner, mascara, blusher girl). I brush my brows with clear gel every morning to try and brush the real hairs up into the "fake" overly-rounded bit but they still look bizarre. Anyone know if I can fade the wrong shaped bit or do I just need to wait it out?

Terrible picture but I've tried to mark the bits which aren't right it's the top edge of inside of each brow, just too rounded? My natural brows are nothing like this, much straighter! I just don't know where the rounded shape came from, I swear it wasn't like that when she drew them on. Part of me is resigned to it for another 2 years or however long it takes for the bloody things to fade but I really do hate them. They are only ok if I am wearing TONS of make up (and she knew full well what my normal day to day look is)

I'm pretty sure the only way to remove any of the microblading is to have laser treatment.
Does your technician always do brows this shape? (From social media / website pics you should be able to tell). It looks like she added above your natural brows?
Could you see someone else locally who could advise you?

No, not at all. I spent HOURS scouting her pictures and not a single one has this massive curved shape. One of the reasons I was so baffled. Initially I thought it was just me not being used to having fuller brows but nope, the shape is just shit. Sad

In terms of whether she added above my natural brows there is actually hair there but it's pale hair, not dark brow coloured hair.

Slightly less blurry, any tips on what I can do would be gratefully received! I did wonder about getting the pale hairs on the top henna'd but not sure if that would make it worse?

Have you waxed them though? Looks like more hair would be at the beginning and the skin is a bit shiny there.

I’d go to someone else

StayingWithAuntySue · 18/04/2019 11:19

Sunshine will fade them a lot
FWIW I thing they look great as they are

FiremanKing · 18/04/2019 11:21

I agree with you BUT thats because I’m concentrating directly on them.

If I met you in real life I would see the whole of you and not particularly notice.

They seem to have been started too low down but I don’t know the remedy.

Thismummyruns · 18/04/2019 11:30

I wish mine were still apparent that far on. Mine disappeared upon healing so effectively paid a lot of money and put up with the pain for a few weeks worth of brows Hmm

I have got to admit, they are the wrong size and shape. After a lot of research myself, I would not be happy with them and would say this to her so

KateyKube · 18/04/2019 11:33

They are a bit weird and she has gone massively outside your natural brows. I believe you’d have to go for laser removal though. This is exactly why I won’t have microblading - you’re basically trusting some random to do a permanent tattoo on your face.

Oblomov19 · 18/04/2019 12:06

I'm so sorry, I completely disagree with the pp who said she thought they looked fine as they were. I think they look bad. Sorry. I think you should go to different places and get some advice.
And at least email original micro -blader, and tell her you aren't happy.

FleurNancy · 18/04/2019 17:08

Thank you, it is reassuring to know that the shape just isn't right and it's not just me being precious. It's just bizarre as every one she has done before or since has been lovely (which is why I was happy to go to her) and I'm not sure how it went so wrong for me. They haven't been waxed, all I do I pluck any stray hairs outside the brow area and then use clear brow gel to brush my existing brow hairs up a bit (a bit like the do on the Boy Brow ad videos).
