Microblading Eyebrows Before and After
What is microblading eyebrows?
If you have been considering microblading your eyebrows after seeing many flawless brows on Instagram – you are not alone. After continually seeing these Latina eyebrows on fleek, I decided to take the plunge and get my first tattoo. Or permanent eyebrow tattoo rather. About is my video blog #vlog about microblading before and after.
Why Get Long-Lastin Eyebrow Makeup?
Eyebrows are so in right now and it seems like the fuller the better. Only problem is that some of us have some sparse brows and coloring them in everyday is not only an irritating task but it leaves a lot of room for error. At least when I do it.
You gotta try to imagine what the ideal shape of your eyebrow should be, and then fill that area in. Well, if you haven’t tried this… ugh.
Pen or powder? Brush or stick? Thick or thin? And I’m like- I’m just trying to go to the grocery store and this seems like a lot of work.
And then it smears.
The Power of Good Eyebrows
So I’m on insta, and I see this beautiful lady with great eyebrows and I investigate her profile. Turns out, she creates these Instagram brows.
But I was still scared, so I waited. After a few months of seeing consistent microblading before and after , I decided it was time.
How Long Does Microblading Your Eyebrows Last?
Everyone says that these eyebrow tattoos will last anywhere from 1 to 3 years depending on skin type and skin care. For this reason microblading is often called permanent makeup, or semi-permanent. (Though I find the second word irritating as the 2 words negate the other.)
Is Microblading Like A Regular Tattoo?
Even though I continue to joke that I finally got a tattoo there are slight differences between microblading eyebrow makeup and tattooing. First, the microblade doesn’t go anywhere near as deep as a tattoo. Also, tattoos use ink while microblading uses pigment designed to fade.
And speaking of fading, if for some reason you decided that you wanted your fake eyebrows removed, they can be lightened significantly easier than a tattoo with laser treatments.
What Will My Eyebrow Shape Be?
I loved that it looks like physics getting the right shape for my brow. The lines created should follow basic eyebrow shaping rules.
What Do Eyebrow Tattoos Cost?
One of the first things that people always want to know is how much does microblading cost. Well, that definitely depends on where you are located your city and even more importantly the country that you are located.
Here in the Yucatan, Mexico my microblading eyebrows cost 2500 pesos which was a promotion from the 3000 pesos price. This is approximately $150USD based on 20-1 value.
After doing some online research however it looks that prices in the States start closer to $300 may go up as high as $800.
Depending on your personal income this may be a good investment especially when you consider how long the treatment lasts (1-3 years).
Is Microblading Your Eyebrows Painful?
Of course this is relative. I have never had a tattoo so I cannot compare it to that, but I did get a belly ring in college (dumb) and this was nothing compared that pain. There was relatively little pain and I would almost say there was none. More irritating than anything. Renata applied a numbing cream on my eyebrows and let it sit for 20 minutes, so that probably helped also.
Does It Leave Scars?
You can Google horror stories. About anything, right? So, once again this depends on who you ask. I have a close friend that does not recommend microblading because she said it left her with small scars. But then I asked another close friend about her microblading and she said she has no scars at all. And plans to get a touch up soon.
So as you can see, there are two opinions so it definitely pays to do your due diligence in finding the right person. As I mentioned before I saw the company I chose for months before I finally reached out. I will update this blog in a month and perhaps again in a year to let you know of my own personal experience. However, my online research says that if done correctly, microblading eyebrows should not leave a scar.
Does Microblading Encourage Hair Growth?
Nope. Because microblading is essentially just making little cuts into your skin and putting pigment in it, microblading eyebrows should have no effect on hair growth.
Post Care For Brows On Fleek
Now that I have had my treatments It is important that I do not irritate the area for 7 to 10 days. Don’t wash it off, pick the scabs or get my eyebrows wet. I’m not a huge fan of all this after care, but everyone agrees this is the best way to get the best results.
