One of the things that we’re extremely satisfied for is the fact that long and super thing eyebrows are long gone. Having good eyebrows is definitely something that many of us have as a number 1 priority, especially when our face is concerned. That’s why we spend many minutes in front of the mirror trying to draw our brows and fill them in, and most importantly pay attention that they completely symmetrical. A trend that is still in the rise and quite popular is called microblading. So what does it mean to have microbladed eyebrows, and what are the most important things that you need to have in mind before opting for this procedure?
1. What is actually microblading?
As eyebrows really define a person (or in the case of Jefree Star no-eyebrows), it’s very important to create yourself a signature look. Microblading is there to save both your life and your time. This can be perceived as the architecture of your face, where the artist creates the perfect shape and color for your face while using small, hair-like strokes to tattoo the eyebrows on your face.
2. How long does it last?
Even though it’s a sort of a tattooing process, there’s a difference between an actual tattoo and microbladed eyebrows. Due to the fact that the artist doesn’t insert the pigment quite deep into your skin, the results of this procedure are semi-permanent. Depending on the aftercare and how well you treat them afterwards (as well as some other factors as well which you can see a bit below in this article), microbladed eyebrows last some time from 12 months to 3 years. They might fade a bit over time, but this only creates a more natural look.
3. Where to do it?
One of the most important things that you need to pay attention to is where to microblade your eyebrows and how to choose the best artist. There’s a sea of artists who perform this procedure, but if you want the best eyebrows possible, you should look for some of the most renowned artists. A good microblading artist will take special care of you, devote his or her time in creating the perfect shape and the best strokes on your face and will make sure that your new brows stay there as long as possible. It’s also very important to look for certified artists; for example all the artists who passed the detailed and quite popular PhiBrows training are excellent for this job. This is not a thing that you need to save your money on – pay as much as you have to but make sure that you have the right guy or girl do the job.
4. Is there someone who cannot have the procedure?
Even though most of people qualify as good candidates for the procedure, there are those who either have to wait or go and have a consultation session to see what their options are. There are certain pre-existing conditions that can interfere with the microblading treatment, such as
- Pregnant women
- Women who breastfeed
- Diabetic people
- Serious diseases such as cancer, epilepsy or autoimmune disorders
- Any bleeding disorders
- People who take blood thinning medications
- People who’ve recently had Botox
5. What do to before and after?
Choosing a good artist is definitely one of the most important things to have in mind, but just know that the preparation for the procedure and the aftercare is also of utmost importance. Following the instructions of your artist step by step can either make or break your final brow look. Make sure to read all the things you need to know and get familiar with them. Also, bear in mind that you really need to stick to these rules if you want the best outcome.
6. What are the benefits?
So, there’s the obvious benefit of having your eyebrows microbladed, which means that your brows and your face will definitely look much more aesthetically pleasing then before, and it will also make you more satisfied. With satisfaction, however, comes self-esteem, which is another benefit of getting your eyebrows microbladed. The general appearance of the person definitely affects our self-esteem, and as soon as you’re not satisfied with one part of yourself, you become much more self-conscious. If microblading is the solution to this problem, you should definitely opt for this step. Finally, microblading saves a lot of time as already mentioned, as people spend a lot of time drawing them and filling them in.
It’s up to you to see if you want to choose and revolutionize yourself. Even though it might sound like an extreme procedure, microblading your eyebrows is becoming more and more common, and popular for that matter. Bearing in mind that it lasts for a couple of years, it’s a great way to give your face a fresh touch.
