Help!! Bad shape and extremely blocky (am I seeing things)

I just got my eyebrows done and I’m a bit nervous about the color, shape, length and arch!
I’d like GENUINE critique if they’re as bad as I believe they are. I’m worried that the fading won’t address the intensity of them. If you want the story read below! But other than that please be honest but not too harsh. I’m willing to be patient and wait it out of course! Not freaking out quite yet ;)Procedure time:Measuring, cleaning up(tweezing and cutting), and choosing color - 1 hour Microblading - 1 hour My natural brow style is a straight brow. My brows were uneven, short, and the hairs on each separate brow grow in one direction or th other. When choosing the shape she reccomended I get an arch due to my face shape. I was extremely nervous about it and told her as long as it isn’t intense and natural. When she drew them out she told me they wouldn’t look as intense since the pigment is light. She took her time and seemed very thourough with the measurements. The microblading itself was uncomfortable but it was bearable and I was more uncomfortable with the noise the blade made. After it was finished she showed me and I felt happy, despite the shape not really feeling like myself. I trusted she knew what suited my face. But when I took a photo in natural lighting I freaked! They seem HUGE and uneven! And I feel as if I look angry! So far, on the second day, they felt stiff but they look the same, no dryness or scabbing or fading.

I’m sorry

What do you mean by this? I just want some feedback (: I personally think that I overreacted tbh

It looks quite harsh and boxy as you described. I’m sure it’ll fade a lot softer. The strokes are just so noticeable IMO.

Let’s sure hope it does! After looking at some photos of others, I saw some pretty dramatic fading, so I’m hopeful. And yeah I think it was to make up for my sparseness

During your touch up I’m sure your technician will perfect it. I had my brows microbladed two weeks ago and it’s completely gone. I miss the dark bold color.
June 19, 2018
Yeah, I’ve already started to like them a bit more each day. I just have to be more patient. That sucks /: hopefully when she retouches you can get some of the color back.

They do look a bit blocky, large and sparse.
June 18, 2018
She did say she preferred to make them a bit light and would touch that section up! But I actually noted some fading today! So here’s hoping. — thank you!

I had mine done a few weeks ago and thought mine were too big and dark too. But mine have scabbed over and flaked off and are much lighter now. But I love the shape and have had lots of compliments. I think yours will look awesome once they fade a little. She did a nice job and you got a great price. I paid 3 times that.

I’m glad yours turned out well! I’ve been growing to like them more and more so I’m starting to worry less, her portfolio was good. Thanks for the reassurance.

I think they look great. Better than mine. Who did you go to? I had mine done by a person who does celebrities. But I see whoever did yours was very skilled in what she does.

I went to a really lovely woman named Jessica. She works out of a studio and her home in Edison. The experience was really positive and she had a 175 dollar off special going on this month.

It took at least 2 weeks for mine to scab over and flake off.
June 19, 2018
And oh really?! I’ll def be more patient!

Mine were super dark and blocky at first and now they’re very natural looking. (Check out my review.) I think you are going to look great!

That’s great to hear! Glad to know yours went well.

Update ! Day 9

Hey! So I was freaking out in the beginning, but now I’ve adjusted to the color/shape a bit more.
During my touch up she said she would address the one brows shape, fill in missing pigment, and add some hairs.
Overall I’m calming down and feeling way more confident (:

It took my brows two weeks! And I started loving them after that. I was freaking out too but they faded DRAMATICALLY.

After Touch Up

ghostiegirl
Wow, I’m so happy. After freaking out when I initially got them done, I watched them heal completely and they have retained a nice shade after the touch up and I’m in LOVE with their shape.

Being patient is absolutely the hardest part of microblading, but if you have sparse brows I think it’s absolutely worth doing.

The first two photos are no makeup and the last photo is with makeup, only lightly filled in!
