My Brows Are Too Red, I'm Freaking Out! 

One of the most frequently asked questions we get when getting microblading is that the brows look more “orange or red” immediately after and during the first few weeks of healing. Powder brows will also appear this way more noticeable due to the coverage area. 

The reason why you may see red/orange present immediately after is because:

• The colors are PRE-MODIFIED to heal true to tone with NO ASHY undertones
• They have a strong presence of WARMTH to ensure perfect healed results
• Skin is irritated and injured, seeing pink/redness in the skin is normal, especially during days 2-12 as the wound is fresh and the scab is just starting to “lift” off. This is more prevalent with thinner skin and more mature clients. 

Help! My Eyebrows Look Too Thick or Wide!

Does this sound familiar:

You saw all of the amazing microblading before and after pictures on the internet so you decided you wanted to get it done. 

You carefully researched the best microblader in your town and you scheduled an appointment. 

You were super excited the whole time but when your artist uncovered your brows to show you them for the first time you...

Were shocked. 

They looked incredibly dark or too thick and you felt like they didn't match your face at all

They may only appear too thick (Like an optical illusion)

The first and most common reason that your brows are too thick is simply because of what I like to call an optical illusion. 

Basically what is happening is that you are seeing your face in a new light, you've been used to seeing your brows, to having control over them and suddenly they have changed and it's a little bit scary. 

This change may be caused by a number of reasons:

The first is simply because of the change in the color or the darkness of your brows. 

Darkness will change the appearance of the brows without actually changing the width. 

Basically your brows may appear to be thicker simply because more attention is drawn to them because of the color. 

This is a very normal and common thing that happens after microblading. 

Often times the brows are made to be darker than normal because your artist knows that they will naturally fade over time and during the healing process. 

Most of the time once the brows lighten up the color fades and your brows will appear more normal. 

Just realize that you've been looking at your face for years and years and you are accustomed to it looking a certain way. 

Once any change occurs it's absolutely natural for you to instinctively reject that change.

Do your best to just hold out and wait for 2 weeks and everything should be ok. 

By the way, this reason accounts for probably 95% of all people who think their brows are too thick.
