4 Reasons To Consider Microblading
Lisa Marie, Browista, October 15, 2021
Microblading is a technique for creating semi-permanent, light, wispy hair strokes on your eyebrow ridge to supplement your natural eyebrows. It can be considered a form of eyebrow tattoo, though unlike most tattoos, it is almost undetectable when done right. And when properly done, microbladed eyebrows can maintain their appearance for up to three years in some cases.New Paragraph
GET YOUR TIME BACK
Microblading gives you natural-looking, enhanced looking eyebrows instantly. You won’t have to spend ten to fifteen minutes each morning perfecting your eye makeup. You won’t have to choose between running late and finishing your makeup anymore.
You also won’t have to touch them up throughout the day since microbladed eyebrows retain their size and shape. You’ll only have to dedicate a few hours every 1-3 years to have your eyebrows redone in most cases. If you’re tired of having to reapply your makeup after swimming or sitting in the sauna, you’ll also love microblading. The results won’t smudge on exposure to sweat, water or rubbing.
Also, you’ll finally be able to achieve a consistent look and won’t damage your eyebrows with constant retouching. If too much is threaded, plucked or waxed away, keeping your original eyebrow shape becomes difficult. Since microbladed eyebrows are semi-permanent, minor maintenance mistakes become much less apparent as the microbladed template will stay in place. And if you want to try a new eyebrow trend at some point, the fact that they’re not completely permanent gives you the chance to change the template accordingly during your next session.
SAVE TIME + MONEY
If you’re doing eyebrow makeup every day, you’re spending money on eyebrow filling products. You’re spending money on brushes and fixers as well as devoting hours each week to the task. While you will have to be prepared to pay for a microblading session, it will still be a bargain since you won’t have to spend as much on eyebrow fillers and assorted tools.
Repeated, the eyebrow microblading process will save you time during the reapplication process too since there’s already a customized blueprint for the new technician to follow. (It normally takes between 2-2.5 hours.)
LITTLE TO NO RECOVERY
Perhaps the best part of the microblading process is the fact that the end result can be shown off immediately, so there’s no worry about having to wear bandages over swollen skin or have inflamed “new” eyebrows until things heal. You could walk out of the office sporting new brows you’ll be proud of. And if for some reason you aren’t thrilled with the result, the result isn’t something you have to literally live with.
The procedure itself is virtually painless as well. If you happen to have a fear of needles, you don’t have to be afraid to go in for a microblading session. Your professional will start by applying a numbing topical ointment around the area. The ointment used will make the procedure more comfortable and some have reported that the procedure was so relaxing they were even able to fall asleep, so there’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
GET BACK YOUR BROWS (+CONFIDENCE)
Some people lose their eyebrows due to medical conditions. Hair loss, including loss of the eyebrows, is a common consequence of chemotherapy. For others, it is the result of another health problem like alopecia for instance. If you go in for microblading, you come out with natural looking eyebrows in a matter of hours. A good microblading artist will give you back your original look, and no one will be able to tell the difference between their work and what you were born with. Microblading is a good option for those with naturally wispy eyebrows, as well.
Microblading is a great alternative to eyebrow makeup that is growing in popularity for a number of reasons. If you feel like it’s something you’d like to try, we suggest you schedule an appointment with a microblading artist to see if that’s something that would work for you.
