If I love my first LVL, what other treatments should I consider?

I love the effects of my first lash lift and tint. I don't have to curl my lashes everyday and I can get away without mascara unless I want a more dramatic look.

It got me thinking, what other treatments or procedures could I have that would help to save time and look better with less time and makeup?

For example - not having to fill my brows in; or what about semi permanent make up like eyeliner and lipliner? What are your best recommendations?

I have both tattoo eyebrows and semi permanent eyeliner. Love both, they make a huge difference as I'm otherwise fair and looked like a ghost.

I love my HD Brows. They're very natural, but just a bit darker and more shaped than my natural brows which I was pencilling in every day. I started with brows and had my first LVL a few weeks ago (which I am also v pleased with, especially as they've started to grow). I use an eyelash serum to help with growth as well (UK Lash - recommended by my beautician).

Mircoblading has changed my life, love my brows now. I don't do anything to them and I feel they make me look more 'done' when I'm not wearing make up

Oh and of course depends on what you are currently doing with that make up. I had uneven skin tone, oily forehead, spots and large pores, so spent a lot of time on foundation and powder. But with suitable skin care (acids and retinol mostly, plus face oil instead of drying oily skin creams) I now have great skin and don't need to hide it. Certainly saves time.

@KatharinaRosalie Ok we need a detailed breakdown of your daily skincare regimen pronto, please!

QuestionNumberOne

I have tried different brands, what got me hooked was Paula's Choice BHA exfoliator. I now mostly use Facetheory acids - clarifying cleanser, BHA, Lumizela and Porebright.

Retinol (prescription strength, mine is Retirides that you can get from pharmacies in Spain but you can get it from Skin&Me and other places).
Hauschka Clarifying Oil as day cream, my skin is not dry so that is sufficient.

Thanks! I'm going to research the brows then - micro blading or HD.
