Please help me with my eyebrows!

Exactly what the title says really...

I am very fair, with blonde hair and eyebrows (dark blonde head hair but my eyebrows seem a lot lighter?!) and I've had them waxed, plucked and threaded alternately over the years. The result is a rubbish shape but they still have a really thick middle which means when I use a pencil to define them they look horrendous and almost ginger!

Does anyone have any hints or tips - I had a very minor reaction to tinting (patch test behind my ear so didn't actually get to the tinting part) otherwise I think this would be my first port of call. It's making me really self conscious :(

Microblading! You'll never look back! 👌

At the risk of sounding silly, is there a limit as to how many times you can have it done? Ie what happens to your brows in 10 years time?

No limit as far as I am aware, I've had mine done twice in 4 years. I think if you don't want to do them again the lines will gradually fade I imagine?

Use an ash brown shade of pencil then they won’t look ‘ginger’

Is microblading painful?

Try a diffent place for a tint test. It all depends on what tint make they use, and most many not give you an issue, just the one they used before.

Go somewhere else for a patch test.

ComplexSatsuma · 14/04/2025 19:02

No it's not painful, expensive though!

Get yourself to a Benefit counter. They are great with eyebrows with a choice of eyebrow mascara, pomade and pencil. They sorted my blonde eye brows with a pomade which suits my colouring.
