My Microblading Experience

Hi Bellas,

Your girl finally got her brows micro bladed!  I'm here to share my honest experience - the good, the bad and the ugly.  Check it out!

Check out the video!

As background info, I have known my Nalani for years.  She actually did my makeup for my bridal shower and bachelorette and was a very popular makeup artist before transitioning full time into microblading.  I've been stalking her work for years before I decided to go for it.  You also can't be pregnant or breastfeeding so I booked the service after Bella turned 1 year and was off breastmilk.

This is the before and after the day of the procedure.


This is the day after the Procedure, nothing on my brows.  The brows started to darken already.


This is 5 Days after the Procedure, nothing on my brows


Here is the before, after and 21 days healed.


The Procedure
The process took about 3 hours for me.  This was from discussing and sketching the brow shape and color, to the numbing then shading and microblading.  

Rating the Pain
I wasn't sure how I would react to the painfulness of the "tattoo".  I got the combo method with is ombre micro shading which she does to fill in the shape.  That hurt very little especially with the numbing gel.  The microblading was focused on the front of my brows and that part definitely hurt.  You could feel that it was deeper and felt like longer scrapes.  I think it was overall tolerable though and it wouldn't deter me from doing it again.

Healing Process
The healing process was easy.  It got a little itchy around day 7 and felt a teeny bit tight but otherwise the hardest part was not getting them wet.  I didn't start to peel until after about a week.  I'd say it took about 11 days for everything to peel off.  

Final Look
I think the brows look very natural.  I love how they don't even look like I had something done.  I do notice that the shape is not as crisp and I think there will be some touch up that will need to be done at my next appointment in January.  They recommend you go back after about 4 weeks to a few months in order for the look to last.

I'm excited to show you the pictures after my first touch up in about a month.  Stay tuned!
