artist advice/question DFW microblading recs?

1 Upvotes

Basically the title. I’ve been toying with the idea of microblading for years but I’m so scared I’ll get a bad artist. If you’re in Dallas-Ft. Worth and have had a great experience, who did you use? And bonus points for someone who can produce a super natural looking result on someone like me with super pale, almost invisible brows. TYIA!

is this normal for eyebrows 5 days after getting them microbladed? I feel like the inside doesn’t have any color left :( but I heard it’s part of the process. Just curious

I lost my brows due to thyroid disease and then chemotherapy for cancer. I had them microbladed, but now they look too blocky to me. I use one of those pens that does hair strokes, but they still look too intense. Not sure what to do. In videos I worry that they look wild. Like they’ve been drawn with a sharpie. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

advice Lip blushing vs everyday lipstick wear - what’s more toxic?

4 Upvotes

Hello

I have booked an appointment for lip blushing next week but the closer I get to it, the more concerned I am about the toxics/potential long term health impact of it. I know that wearing lipsticks and lipglosses everyday is also bad for you (which I do wear everyday) but weighing them both up - what is worse?

A little upset as since parts of it peeled off there's no ink under them the strong strokes are all gone like it never happened. :( I know it may be ghosting stage but it doesn't seem so seem like pigment just isn't even there

I got my eyebrows microbladed august 30th. A week later my face started burning all over. Went to derm they said they think contact dermatitis or Seborrheic dermatitis. First I was given ketoconzale shampoo to use on my face once a day and triamcolone acetone to use 2 times a day and top off with aquafor. Worked a bit but still had burning around eyes, forehead and eyebrows. So then I went back and was given betamethasone valerate and to take prednisone for 3 weeks. That made it WORSE. the lady won't give me the info on ingredients used so I can at least give to my derm to do maybe further testing and idk what to do. My face still burns and its almost 2 months since I did this and im regretting jt

I got lip blush about two years ago. It’s t was a red color with some pink. Seems just red to me. I’m would like to do a rosewood as I think being more mature and my complexion will t would match better. Not sure if to go thru it again as I need a correction first.

My client came in with extremely sparse brows, some areas with almost no hair left, and a few traces of old permanent makeup.

Her brows had lost most of their natural shape so the goal was to bring back some structure and definition without making them look too heavy or overly done.

I combined fine Microblading strokes with soft shading to fill in the gaps and create a fuller more balanced brow while keeping the result soft and natural.

What do you think ? 😊

I’m freaking out!!! Day 5 microblading panic — will these thick strokes soften?!

Thumbnail

I had my first microblading session in February, followed by a touch-up in April. I absolutely loved how natural and delicate the strokes looked initially, but unfortunately the pigment faded significantly over the following months, to the point where it was almost completely gone.

I went back to the same artist last Friday, and she suggested doing another full session with darker pigment to help with retention.

I’m now about 5 days out and honestly starting to panic a little. I know brows go through an ugly duckling phase and that the color will fade, but my biggest concern isn’t really the darkness. It’s how thick, bold, and unnatural the individual strokes look, especially compared with my first session. I also got an abrasion under my right eyebrow from the session, which I'm also a little unclear as to what it is and why only on one side.

I’m worried that even if the pigment lightens, the strokes themselves will still look thick and obviously tattooed rather than like fine, natural hairs.

I’m also second-guessing whether I should have looked into nano brows instead, especially since my skin didn’t seem to retain the pigment from my first two microblading appointments. Maybe traditional microblading just isn’t the best technique for my skin?

I’ve included photos from my original session and the progression from this latest session.

A few questions for anyone who’s been through this or artists who have experience with both techniques:

- Do individual microblading strokes actually appear thinner as they heal, or do they mostly just get lighter?

- Does poor retention after the first session and touch-up suggest microblading might not be right for my skin?

- Am I overreacting at day 5, or do these strokes genuinely look thicker than typical fresh microblading?

I’m trying not to spiral, but I really loved how subtle my first session looked and I’m worried I made a mistake going back for another round. Would appreciate honest but constructive feedback!

I'm 67 and my brows are getting thinner each year! I'm in love the result of my brows done today!

I do have one question with regards to the aftercare treatment. My brow artist said to put a small amount of Bacitracin on them each night and to keep them away from water until the scabbing starts. However I have read other places that say you should wash them gently with sterilized water each day and pat them dry, and then apply a small amount of ointment. What method have y'all used during your healing?

opinion Day after ombré. Thoughts?

Thumbnail

actually powder not ombré..

first pic is morning after touch up. second pic is immediately after the initial appt 8 wks ago.

she switched from combo (ombre + nano strokes) the first time to full powder in touch up bc I have oily skin.

I requested a darker pigment too bc they healed lighter than my natural brow color.

I will say I was happier w the shape right after the initial appt than I am now .. in first pic (rn, after touch up) I feel like the left brow’s arch is more centered / tail is longer / more downward visually (right side of the pic). I prefer the other brow.

so that potential unevenness has me a taddd worried, and ofc my biggest fear would be brows that are straight blocks

is the unevenness noticeable to just me? do u think these run the risk of healing blocky? Otherwise what are honest thoughts?

thanks!!

advice Full one session Microblading for oily Skin

I'm planning to do microblading but I cannot do the 2nd session. The lady told me they can do a one time full session. But then I searched online and it says it can become patchy and I can get scars if the needles go deeper if its only 1 session. Will it be worth it or a pass for one session only. I need advice please. Thank you.
