I got my brows microbladed yesterday & they are to thick, they're close together & look coloured in a lot. At the 6 week top up can they be made smaller, I think the front is too thick compared to my natural eyebrows, or am I stuck with this shape now even after the touch up. Is it normal they are really red aswell, they are supposed to be medium brown, when the redness fades will they look less full? I don’t want the top up if this shape has to be kept I want them smaller, thinner at the front
