It's All About the Brows

4/1/2019

  You know these days, it seems to be all about the BROWS.  Lashes too yes, but brows are back, baby!

  I have always been blessed with long eyelashes, and at one point, full brows..... 

  But alas, as a teen of the 90's, it was NOT "in" to have bushman eyebrows.

 IN FACT, we paid perfectly good money every month to have our brows waxed into tiny little strips and drew the rest in.

​OH.MY.WORD.
Picture
  By the way, this is Dale and I the first summer we met.  And the rose photo above is the night he told me he loved me for the first time.  I told him I needed to think about it before I said it back!

  Haha,  what can I say?! I wanted to be sure!!  :)

   This is also the summer he sweetly asked to kiss me, and I said nope.  I was waiting until I had a ring on my finger, and he said he thought I was worth waiting for. 

  AWWWWWWWWWWW, how tiny are we?  Like 17-18?   Haha, ah young love.  :)
Picture
  Needless to say, I have spent the better part of my adult life, drawing eyebrows into spaces that literally, no longer grow hair.
Picture
  And when the bigger brows came fully into style, the time to draw them in, also grew.

​  It takes like 15 extra minutes on a "bad eyebrow day", and YES, when you draw them in, that IS a thing!
Picture
   Soooo when my sis in law told me all about her new eyebrows and I got to see them in person, I knew it WAS TIME! It was PAST TIME!

 I needed new brows.   Hers looked SO awesome!!!!

   It was time to go under the blade....

 THE MICROBLADE. 

​  Eeek! Scary!

I made an appointment in Ocala, FL at Michelle's Glam Studio.
Picture
  Michelle was kind and explained what she was doing to this newbie. She was meticulous in making sure I was happy with the shape and fade of my brows and touched up areas several times, until we both agreed, they were just right.

  She did both microblading AND ombre powder, so it looked like real brows, but also had nice dark pigment like makeup covered brows.

  Everyone wants to know if it hurts, right?

  I have never had a tattoo in my life so I found it to be very strange. I could hear the needle scrape (Ewwww!) and the first passes didn't hurt at all, but after an hour of it, then 2 hours, it felt like razor blades and ombre powder pen were scratching and scraping sore, raw hamburger, skin.  

  She numbed it several times though, and that helped immensely!

My before and after on Michele's social media page:
Picture
 The end result was the brows I had only dreamed of being able to draw in, and I get to wake up like this! No more spending 15 minutes trying to shade and draw matching 2 eyebrows in.  I should've done this ages ago!

  You let the first round heal up, follow her directions for cleaning & care, like no swimming, scrubbing, picking scabs etc. before going back for a touch up at one month. 

  I followed her healing directions to the T! Even buying a hat to hide my brows from the sun (they will fade), saying no to hot tub and swimming (hello! we live in Florida, this was hard!), and being extra careful in the shower not to get them wet.
Picture
They dried and flaked and it was GROSS.  I was embarrassed to go out in public for a few days!! No wonder she says don't pick, it's tempting. But if you do, it pulls off pigment, and no one wants that!
Picture
Picture
  Once healed, they looked nice, but see how they are a little pale in the middle-back arch where I have no hair left?

 No worries, because remember, you go back in at the one month mark to refill all that.
Picture
  My sis in law, Lauren, was scared to tell me that her touch up hurt badly, since she knew my first round was painful, but funny story......

 I fell ASLEEP during my touch up, because it was just relaxing and didn't hurt at all! 

  Haha, guess I am opposite?!

 I love the final results and this touch up round, I tried a new method my step-momma, Drea told me about, she said really coat the tattoo, or in this case the brow, with the little healing cream they give you and keep it moist with it at all times, as opposed to waiting a week to start that part per the salon instructions.

 I figured it was worth a shot!
​
  Guess what?

  I had minimal itching and ZERO flaky peeling and it healed up a week faster! I am a believer in the moisture method!

  And here is my end result:

Picture
  If I continue to keep my brows out of the sun, microblading lasts 6 months to a year and ombre powder can last up to 2 years! HALLELUJAH!

  Do you have eyebrows you love?  Or were you a child of the 90's as well?  ;) 

​There is hope for us!

​Hugs, T
