Recommend me a beauty treatment (multiple choice!)

[whizpop]

I've got a voucher for a local beauty salon. I've never had any treatments done, so I want to use it wisely. I'm 45 and would like to look better groomed and 'well' (not dolled up - natural). I'm happy to top up the cost. Options are:

Micro blading eyebrows (currently fair, unplucked, inoffensive

Gel polish manicure (currently neat nails, never painted)

Individual eyelash extension

Eyebrow and Eyelash tinting

Eyeliner tattoo (rarely wear eyeliner)

Dermaplaning *
*
What would beauty regulars recommend for the biggest 'you look well' effect? Many thanks in advance

Two things here: If it were a straight choice I'd say microblading, as it really does make all the difference.

However, I'm not sure I would get it done at a place that also does gels/ manicure etc as I suspect you won't have a dedicated therapist for whom that is their speciality. I would ask first before I committed to anything like that and really do my research, ask to see pictures of their work and recommendations. For context, I paid £300 at a central London clinic so while that is the higher end, I wouldn't be happy with paying less than half that as I would worry about the dyes/pigments used (cheap pigments change colour after a few months).

Eyelash and brow tinting would be my next choice. Seems no point if you never paint your nails to have gels and demaplaning can be done at home for a couple of quid.

This is fantastically helpful, thank you! I'm clueless.
