Just had them done today

I'm freaking out. Just had mine done today. Do they look bad?! I know they said they would look darker at first. I'm just afraid I went too thick. I feel like a cartoon character and even my children are freaked out.

Trust me they will change and thin up a bit! I use to not have any eyebrows and when I got them done I thought my looked huge but realized after 3 weeks that they fit my face well. Yours look just fine and they will lighten up a bit and change but they honestly fit your face good!

It is a major shock at first. I loved mine and it was still a shock every time I looked in a mirror. I think yours look great. Give it a couple if weeks and they will be lighter and thinner.

all normal! don't stress out. I had mine done in January and literally was depressed the first 3 days (even with all my research and knowledge on what was going to happen) it's a shock because it's your face and you know your face so when something is off if freaks you out. My whole family called me angry birds because that's exactly what I looked like until the 5th day. They are going to be bold, dark and swollen. Give them some time and I promise if you follow aftercare 100% properly your brows will look amazing by the second and third week! <3 any questions just let me know.

I had my done on May 7, 2017 and was very depressed right after I got them done but they are doing thru all the healing steps everyone told me about. I could not even sleep at night and still on the line if I would get them retouched in 4 weeks or not.

Here is an update of my brows. There are a few bald spots I have penciled in. What do you think?

I like them. Did you get a touch up done at all?

Nevermind I didn't read the caption. I think they are nice, can't really notice the patchy spots.

I had my brows bladed 3 weeks ago now and left feeling totally defeated by dark, too-thick, heavy, mis-placed block brows which looked sharpie status against my pale porcelain skin & delicate features. I became panicked and immediately regretted my decision, as I felt uncomfortable even leaving the house. I've never taken time to post and only recently found RealSelf but after tirelessly reading through tons & tons of these forums on how to fade my brand new brows, I thought I should share my experience with all of you. First of all- if your brows are fresh- THERE IS HOPE! Do not lose your cool. First of all, timing is KEY. It's important not to attempt scrubbing away your new additions before they have had a chance to seal, otherwise you will only further scrape, scratch, and irritate the skin- plus you risk transferring the ink and creating a "shadow" effect. Wait until your brows have begun to show signs of peeling and scabbing over, then act quickly! I found great success in using a simple combination- 1. hydrogen peroxide, 2. baking soda, 3. a sterile brow brush. Blend the H202 + baking soda into a paste. I like to make sure my pores (and superficial incisions on the brow) are open are ready for action, right after a hot shower or bath. Apply the paste with a brow brush (mascara wand) and follow the direction of the strokes / your natural hair. It may sting the first few applications. Allow this a few minutes to find it's way into the affected area, then rinse with warm water & cotton balls. I have followed this simple regimen twice daily and even extended to leave a tiny dabble of H202 to work it's magic overnight. Be warned: I'm not sure how this solution could change the color of your pigment, although it worked wonders with simply fading mine (deep chocolate turned soft auburn). The brow brush & solution will likely pick away scabbing and may cause patchiness / inconsistent brows over the healing period. Please be aware of any signs of infection and always wash your hands & tools before handling. Obviously this DIY method is imperfect but I had to share because it has given me my confidence & (mostly) my natural back. Please let me know how this works for you all and best of luck! x
No, they don't look bad at all, they are a nice shape and color. Keep us posted on how you're feeling -- I'm confident you are just in shock and need to get used to your new brows. :)
