But before becoming the owner of eyebrows like Cara Delevingne, find out if microblading suits you.

Eyebrow hair tattoo

First, let`s clarify what the microblading technique for eyebrow tattooing is and how it differs from regular permanent makeup.

Permanent makeup is done by making 2 mm deep micro-punctures in the skin. They are minimally traumatic and stimulate the production of your own collagen.

Microblading is making incisions 0.05 mm deep in the upper layer of the skin with a special 0.18 mm thick scalpel, then filling the scars with pigment.

Microblading will suit you

1. If you have sparse eyebrows.
2. Overly thin eyebrows like `threads.`
3. Asymmetrical or incorrect shape.
4. Too light or completely without hairs.
5. Scars on the eyebrows.

Advantages of microblading

1. Immediately after the procedure, the incisions are not noticeable, and the hairs appear thin and neat.
2. Eyebrows heal much faster after microblading than after regular tattooing.
3. During the healing process, there is no post-traumatic swelling, and skin inflammation is less.
4. The risk of introducing infection is lower because the pigment is not introduced deep into the skin.
5. Expressive shape and eyebrow appearance as close to natural as possible.
6. Solves the problem of sparse eyebrows, visually making them thicker.
But, like any cosmetic procedure, microblading has many drawbacks and dangers.

Disadvantages of microblading

1. For light eyebrows, it is very difficult to choose a suitable pigment tone.
2. The result is not long-lasting – from 6 months to a year and a half.
3. The procedure can be hellishly painful, everything depends on the client`s individual sensitivity.

4. Incisions heal leaving scars for life.
5. The depth of the cut is not precisely controlled, so the pigment penetrates unevenly and the hairs color unevenly.
6. Eyebrows after hair tattooing are too dark at first.

7. If the pigment was introduced too superficially, it will come off with dead skin cells within a month.
8. If the pigment is too deep, it will stay in the skin for a very long time, possibly forever.
9. Pigment fading depends on many factors: metabolism, sun, peeling, diet, smoking, hormones, medications…

10. Penetrating deep into the skin, the pigment spreads, becoming blue or gray.
11. Hair follicles are traumatized and afterward hairs may not grow at all, you might end up with bald eyebrows.
12. The procedure should not be repeated because it is unknown how the color will behave on previous scars.

The consequences of unsuccessful microblading can only be corrected with a laser, but scars will remain for life.

In these cases, microblading should not be done

1. Allergy and individual pigment intolerance.
2. Sensitive and bleeding skin.
3. Infectious diseases.
4. Oily facial skin.
5. Dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and other dermatological problems on the face.
6. Poor blood clotting.
7. Oncology.
8. Immune system diseases.
9. Pregnancy.
10. Menstruation.

There are enough examples of unsuccessful microblading where clients end up with uneven eyebrows in an unnatural color, which are very difficult to correct, sometimes impossible.

Listen to common sense and approach the choice of master responsibly.

Trust only professionals with experience and many grateful clients, not quick tattoo artists.
Do not succumb to the temptation from microblading photos on the Internet - these photos are right after the procedure. Therefore, do not hesitate to request an album of the master`s fully healed works.

The goal of eyebrow shaping is to make the face expressive and attractive. But with proper makeup, even a face completely without eyebrows looks harmonious, extravagant, and otherworldly. Respect yourself as you are…

Blondes should not be shy of light eyebrows – they give the appearance an angelic, not of this earth look.

There are no ugly people. Every person is beautiful in their own way.

The fashion for thick eyebrows will pass just like for thin eyebrows like `threads,` but the consequences of unsuccessful experiments with appearance will remain for life.

Always remember that chasing generally accepted beauty standards, you can lose not only individuality but also health.
