Hi
Has anyone on here had it done and if so, were you happy with the results?
Would you recommend it?

Don't know what microblading is - please explain.

Thanks Bex. I'll stick to using my kohl pencil and mascara brush - I achieve very similar result w/o having to shell out $800+ every 3 years or thereabouts.
Thanks anyway guys
I use a taupe-coloured brow powder. Brow powder is coarser than eyeshadow powder is.
Then I gently shape the brow using a blunt eyebrow pencil in brown.
(This is when I have to go out, BTW!)
HI, I got mine microbladed in October 2015, it cost £230 and I totally love them. My before and after pics are amazing. After you get them done ( it takes roughly 1 and a half hours ) you need to wait 5-6 weeks to get your top up, you will probably hate them after the first week of getting them as your body rejects some of the ink and peels and fades!! But once you have your top up after 5 weeks then the result is great... I like my eyebrows really dark so in January 2016 I got another top up which was £50 and iam going for my 3rd top up next week which will cost £70 ( the longer you leave it the dearer the top up is ) they say it's meant to last up to 18months but like I say I got mine in October and there's no way mine would have lasted that long. Do I regret getting them done? Hell no lol I get so many compliments. Xx
Oh dear pugamo I'll bear that in mind when she draws them up first
I had them done in November, then topped up just before Christmas. Love them!
I would absolutely recommend them to any one following chemo, or if you just have bleh eyebrows with no shape, and you're sick of drawing them in every day.
I get loads of compliments about them and the lady who did mine has had lots of new appointments from people saying they've seen mine and want them doing.
She looked surprised.
ETA - I watched a bit more and see it last 3 years - so not so risky.
Yeah? Don't think so, mate.
Hi, someone at work had this done and it looks great, would never know it was tattoo. It took about an hour and bled a wee bit, but she seems pleased with it.
I don't really understand this modern obsession with perfect eyebrows tbh, A quick tidy up of the stray ones that ruin the overall shape and Bob's your uncle if you ask me.
From what I can see, very few look anything even approaching "perfect". I think the current trend for HD eyebrows is ridiculous and the sooner it does a death, the better. I've seen so many appalling sets of brows that I'm now self-conscious myself because I can't help staring at people who have them. I just can't believe that anyone imagines they look nice with these un-natural cartoon eyebrows.
I think they look great
Well, clearly some people do, otherwise they wouldn't proceed with it... but frankly, it looks bizarre.
I totally agree - they look ridiculous.
Hah - for the past 50 years I've attempted to tame my eyebrows, which, left to their own devices would resemble Denis Healey. Plucking, waxing, threading, every 2 weeks to keep them looking halfway decent. Now they've stopped growing and I'm left with nondescript eyebrows, but the blighters don't give up easily. They've now all migrated to my chin!
The Dennis Healey look is so coming back into fashion - any time now, well within the next few years or decades or centuries I have the reverse problem, mine are sparse and practically invisible but i'm old enough not to care
I feel quite sorry for young people with all the pressure to tow the fashion line. Mind you, I see plenty of women my own age who are fashion / grooming slaves. Why bother?
I wanted them to look natural and this is what I got. They look amazing. People don't realise it's a tattoo until they're told.
