You guys just did micro blading and panicking. I'm trying to decide to trust the process or start dipping salt Solution on my eyebrows to lift some of the pigment. It feels way too thick. Any advice? I have always had light blonde eyebrows so I am quite a shock and all of my friends have told me it's not a good look

I think they look pretty! Don't touch just yet. Give it about a week to see how they turn out. I just got my eyebrows microbladed on Saturday and they have turned darker since then, but from what I have read, that is normal and by the end of this week they should fade out a bit.
July 28, 2017
Great advice. I'm waiting it out and they are already looking a lot better

I just had mine done last Friday and they are as thick as yours but really dark - like a sharpie. I am praying they lighten up. Everything I've read says that they will shrink and get lighter. How are yours today?
July 28, 2017
Hi! I'm only on day five but they are definitely starting to lighten up and I also got a lot thinner thank goodness.
July 28, 2017
Have yours peeled yet ?
July 25, 2017
I am blonde too and had mine done 7 days ago and almost all the color has peeled off and I have nothing left. Dont panic as your will lighten but hopefully not as much as mine did.
July 28, 2017
Okay good to know !! Ty!
July 25, 2017
I think they look great!...and from what I've heard they will fade some. I am getting mine next week.
July 28, 2017
Thanks ! They are lightening up my panic has subsided haha
July 25, 2017
Trust the process, they always look darker at first.

Thank you guys so much for your comments in my moment of panic. The first day was really dark and probably swollen already -by day three it was looking a lot better. Hasn't quite been a week yet but here's the update. I'm sure they will continue to lighten

They will get lighter , then seem to disappear, reappear in 4-5 weeks . They always look too big at first . Don't worry . But think about traditional Permanent brows when they fade . More long lasting, less down time .

Your eyebrows...and you are lovely! Thanks for sharing your journey. I almost cancelled my appointment for later this month, but I feel better about it now :-)

I had my eye brows tattooed on about 3 yes ago now and they have a dark grayish color now to them. I color them in every day. I think the hair doesn't grow on the best because of the tattooing but I'm using Castrol oil now and it's helping them grow. I think your eyebrows look great

Thanks! I know this type of tattooing is just on the upper layer of skin (real tattoos are a lot deeper) so I bet a touch up would do the trick too :-) These are suppose to start fading a lot after a year

Makes me feel better! I feel like I have sharpies on my face!!!

It looks so natural, especially the color. I had mine done Saturday and it was so dark I lost my mind. Texted my tech, cried, everything. Do you know what pigment was used on you? I'm blonde and she put dark brown on. I'm too ashamed to post
August 11, 2017
I'm blonde and got mine done two days ago. They are so dark! I've cried, talked with my tech on the phone also. I'm freaking out. Have yours lightened significantly since you got them done?
September 10, 2017
Hi guys! I cried too, in fact one of those pictures you can see my eyelashes all wet LOL. It looked super super dark, but then lightened up so much so just wait it out!!! I have heard that especially on blondes, we are so pale already that the swelling and color (which is mixed with blood) makes it look a lot different. Just wait it out <3
