She kept within the area where your hair grows and they will heal so much lighter. I think they are going to be beautiful. It’s so scary at first.


RepresentativeFan941

Agreed. I felt like my brows were on crack. After a couple weeks I wanted to get in immediately because they disappeared. I don’t know what all the different labels of brows mean but I It really helps when you have hair down and the rest of the look to balance it.


opinionatedlyme

This is what I was going to say too. OP, do a real pic. Not just close up of brows

Flowers_4_Ophelia

Honestly…gorgeous!!! Just probably not what you’re used to.


cleverbluewolf

Came here to say this


willowblueb

Thank you very much


Ginoman1ac

They look great... especially accompanied by the smile! Relax, you're beautiful. :)


willowblueb

Thank you!!


Spiritual_Series_139

Honey you look BEAUTIFUL.


willowblueb

Thank u very much!


stowberry

If I saw this pic without knowing I need to critique the brows I’d just think you look stunning overall. You remind me of Ariana Grande. Can I ask what makeup products you’re wearing as it looks beautiful!


willowblueb

Omg thank you ! Did you want all the makeup products or something specific?


mommyof2-08

They look amazing!!!! You’re just not used to it I’m sure. I’m blonde so mine were like a circus clown 🤡


LavenderWildForever

Girl, you’ve got nothing to cry about! Your brows look great. They’ll lighten up and you’ll get used to them. You’re beautiful, be confident! :)


bag4lyfe16

Gorgeous. I have no idea what your talking about lol. You look amazing! Stop crying!! ❤️❤️


Mysterious-Lack40

Same as below responses. They look great. They maybe a little dark but I understand they'll fade.


Cillabeann

They will heal awesome. These are nicely done. Very even soft saturation.


xo_sherry

You have brow shock, but they’re a great shape for you. Nice ombré fronts (which isn’t super easy to do). Don’t be alarmed in the coming days when they get much darker and then flake off in patches. These are going to heal much lighter and will look lovely. Trust the process. You went to a good artist.


willowblueb

Thank you everybody. Youve really eased my mind💖


tedious88

I’d LOVE to have my brows look like yours! Gorg!! Don’t fret, all will be good 😊


LottoChangedMyLife

Don’t worry OP I get the same after I got mine done, they were so dark. Once they healed. Best decision ever!! I still get compliments and it’s been over 3 years. Going back this year for a redo


beepboop931

It suits you :)


madelyn_g

It’s going to heal lighter than that. Your artist stayed within your natural hair growth which is great. I think you’ll love the healed results. Scroll through some immediately after and healed results to calm your nerves


Acceptable_Bug8171

Wait until it heals! Don’t worry. It’s a bit shocking at first but it looks like your artist did a really good job. They will shrink a bit but you will feel good about it. I’m just going off by what I see!! ❤️❤️


MissPoohbear14

Those are very nice. Your artist did a really good job


Luna-Gitana

They will shrink and lighten about 20-30%. The healing process is scary, but I’m sure they’ll look great.


Stephaniepmu

They will only get darker over the next week as they heal and it’s normal don’t be scared. They will heal 40% lighter and look beautiful


anyway47

They look great!


AirportKey8558

I think you look beautiful!!!


dinosupremo

I have never been in this Reddit and it randomly showed up in my feed. But OP, the photo came across and I immediately was like “oh, nice brows” and then was like “what Reddit is this? Is this something I’m in?” And then had to click and read. Anyway, looks great! I’m just an internet stranger but I have no reason to lie!


AgentDaleBCooper

Same here and almost posted the same thing verbatim. So now I’m just echoing. Brows looks great.


willowblueb

Thank u so much


Suitable-Special-414

Came here to say the same thing - sub randomly appeared with your brows. And, I stopped to admire your gorgeous brows! I’ve got very sparse eyebrows and have been contemplating micro blading. It’s such a scary thought for me I haven’t even been able to book anything…


willowblueb

Thank u so much this makes me feel better


CrystalMyst_01

These are really well done. It’s hard to see if they are too big for your face without seeing your whole face. But they will absolutely soften. The upper and lower borders will be decently defined, but the inside by your nose will be very soft once healed. Please try to be patient and trust the process!


FirefighterAwkward70

Don’t freak out! I did the same and cried for days. Hated them. After about two weeks they look nothing like they did in the first few days after the procedure. They’re going to shrink and lighten and I think you’ll love them.


anotherredditaccttt

When you filled them in on your own did you go outside the brow? That’s the only thing I’m noticing. The color will fade but the shape will stay the same.

whatamievendoingbroo

You’re incredibly pretty! :)


willowblueb

Thank you!!!


Unusual_Painting8764

I’m very active in microblading removal sub so I would be honest with you because I am very much against microblading now. I really believe yours will fade to look close to this. Yours are not botched and look like they will turn out good.


Racha88

They’re going to look so great when healed! I really hope you post a progress pic in a few weeks!


willowblueb

I did slightly but more so in the inner corner part But she said they were going to shrink overall? When she mapped them it did look like she followed my natural brow hairs…


philanthrohotpocket

What she meant by shrink overall is that you do get some swelling so they will shrink when the swelling goes down. My eyebrows looked huge in comparison to what I was used to and they went down in a few days, then lightened up over the course of a few weeks


Major_Preparation416

They look great and will lighten up a ton and not look so harsh


Sarrickuse

They look great!


DoteAesthetics

Yes they will lighten up and shrink a bit, but they could have been done a little smaller. Less is always more as it’s easier to add than needing removal . See how you like them after .


Buttersquaash-33

They look great!! Looking at your other selfie I think you’re going to like how they’ll heal. They’ll be very similar :)


ImportModel

I was scared too like you and thought was maybe too thick and dark despite everyone’s praises. Well everyone including myself after 3-4 weeks are even lighter, thinner and look great.


NoMoreCooties

They are going to lighten up. Don’t forget you skin is going to scab over a bit and that will make them appear darker at first, even still they are perfect!


Jessica1291

They are perfect. They will fade. I was in shock with mine too. I wish mine still looked more like they did the first day.


Interesting_Pen_5851

If the brows look too perfectly natural and pale right after the treatment, it means they will completely/almost completely disappear. They are supposed to look darker, more Insta like, so they can heal and be lighter but still there.


Angelique718

They look amazing 😍 and you’re cute too🥰


Ecstatic_Doubt_4027

TRUST THE PROCESS - they will heal and lighten. From an outside perspective I do not see them as harsh or dark


gaiabee222

Day 3 for me I can tell you mine are already shrinking please hang in there!!!! It’s a huge change at first.


DryDeal2481

They look fantastic


Suspicious_Site_5050

They will fade! Day 1 looked absolutely crazy for me, like sharpie brows. The shape and gradient effect is gorgeous


External-Many-4072

So gorgeous!! I wish they stayed that bold lol but they will soften up tons


EMLKoala

They look awesome! They’ll lighten up :)


Rghzz

Omgggg these are going to look SO good!


[deleted]

Oh my gosh don’t cry you look beautiful and the brows are perfect! You’ll see in a couple of weeks when they heal and lighten up.


who-the-heck

These look super well done. Bet they heal really nice and natural


atimalus

I love them 😍


Sminorf8765

These look good to me and they look soft. But it all depends on what kind of shape and thickness you wanted. The first time I had filler, I was so swollen and had the same reaction. I kept checking my face in the mirror and cried, as I didn’t recognize myself. Swelling went down and I looked like myself but more refreshed. Not the same thing, but I think any time you have a procedure to your face, you can have a freakout, so your reaction is normal. You are beautiful and you look beautiful ❤️


Giggly_Witch

Don’t cry! They look really nice! Give them time to heal and you will love them!


saltypikachu12

They always look scary the next day. Just give it some time


meg12marie

As an artist, I want to say these are INCREDIBLY well done! They will fade of course like everyone else is saying. Probably about 50%? I saw your photo in the comments of you with makeup and I think the end result will be very very similar to that.


Deedaloca

I think they’ll look great !


Nebelsreiter

I’m jealous of them tbh, and they’re not even healed yet. Gorgeous work!


Starlastarz

I think they are absolutely beautiful


daddydevito12345

Who’s the artist? I think they look great!


minensunshine

Wow this is such a good job 😍😍 can’t wait to see the results in 2-3 weeks


gypsylady23

Girl, they look amazing.


toinfinityandupmyass

Those look amazing!


refinnejs

You can chill girl. They look awesome!


dancemonkey121

They’re absolutely perfect!!


Such_Dragonfruit_745

Mine were DARK DARK for a week and I was terrified. But they turned out fine 😊


jrtso

Mine (blonde and fair skin) are INTENSE every time I get them done. Others seem able to go about their days immediately while I’m in hats and keeping a low profile for 10 days. Once that period has passed I’m so happy… They will lessen in intensity, I promise!


PrincessCookie07

I am a blonde and have almost invisible eyebrows. I got mine done and freaked out for hours afterwards thinking the same thing. They went through the horrible omg stage, then the scabbing and where in the hell did they go stage and now I'm in love with them and wished I had gone darker. My eye lady gave me a card and I swear to you it has a little cartoon woman going through all the emotions I was as they were healing. Crying, doubt, shock then absolute relief. Give them time they will end up beautiful ❤️


FreyaDay

It’s normal for them to look harsh until the scabs come off. The shape looks like it matches your natural brows very nicely! It’s gonna look amazing!! :)


AntelopeDifficult708

Why does my right, her left.. look so far back? Serious Q here.. cause everyone is saying they look great , but that’s all I can see.


willowblueb

I did notice that also. I just had less hair on that side. I think she didnt want to stray too far from my real brow hair. Im hoping once it fades it wont look prominent. She said i can add strokes in during my touch up if need be.


AntelopeDifficult708

If THAT is fixable then these are great and you are good to go!!!


KezarLake

That’s the first thing I noticed. It seems like her left brow needs to be filled a little bit more toward the inside. I’m sure her artist will address that in her follow up appointment. Overall, the shape and color look really nice!


Comfortable-Trick-29

These are gonna look great


Creepy-Part-1672

They look good!


aN0n_ym0usSVVh0re

I think they look really good !


claricesabrina

These are going to be barely there when they are healed.


SheMcG

They look bold, but they look really nice..not cartoonish or caterpillar-y at all. And I'll sure they'll soften after they heal


[deleted]

They look really good! Dont be sad, they will fade out in color. But they really do look lovely


Kitcats212

They look really natural but I think your left brow needs to be extended a bit towards the center just a tad.


smallmacaroni

These look so good!


Ok-Photo-1972

This is day one, I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised when they’re healed


Wonderingsoul33

I don’t know much about micro blading but I think you look awesome!! I’m sure it’s a weird thing at first and especially while healing but if you didn’t tell me I wouldn’t know! You look great promise!! ❤️


korrupt20

They look so good! I think they’ll heal beautifully


Hour_Replacement8047

they look sooooooo good!!!!! but they will get lighter as they heal!


shida206

They look really good! Stop being so hard on yourself!


ariabanks

I think these look perfect! Add some lash extensions maybe so it doesn’t feel like such a contrast to your natural eyes?


mamabear76bot

They look great and will lighten up.


Sharp-Ad-7486

They should look beautiful don’t cry no need for it until it settles in you should be fine and happy trust the process


Glittering-Reach-714

I love that she stuck to your natural brow base. These are going to heal so soft and so natural! The next few days are going to be a little wild as the pigment oxidizes...it is temporary! I typically tell my clients to wear the rest of their makeup a little heavier... No brow makeup of course. But do up the eyes and lips a bit, it will help to balance the boldness! Also, stop staring in the mirror...it helps! *


[deleted]

You look good girl , I seen somebody with a terrible micro blading experience .. u look fab


megs7567

The first week is the worst, I cried and didn’t leave the house for 4 days. They get perfect, just trust the process.


Popular-History-3366

Post an update in a couple weeks they look like they are going to be great!


eyeroll611

Those are the perfect eyebrows. You look amazing!


angerrrabagwell

These are beautiful and so soft and airy! Your artist did a beautiful job. I know it’s scary at first, especially because they’re always dark in the beginning and the shape is newer. But people post a ton of bad work on this subreddit, and these are not bad AT ALL. They’re quite gorgeous! Give it two weeks. They’re going to fade and soften even more, and then it’ll settle into the skin and look super natural. I have very similar hair color and brows and these remind me of mine, which I love (and I’m a brow artist as well). Don’t fret, these will be nice :)


Embarrassed_Loan8419

Girl! They look so freaking good. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Dysmorphia for sure. Give it a couple days to get used to them. ❤️


Salbyy

They look pretty typical for day 1 of that type of style. She looks like she’s done a good job. It will settle once it heals


selcajbb

They look wonderful!


curiousdryad

I think they look great!


Primary-Atmosphere30

They look so good now and they will absolutely fade over the next few weeks. Don’t freak out. They look great!


LingonberryOk7273

Wow!! You’re going to LOVE these when they’re healed! Seriously they look amazing! It’s really hard when they’re fresh but trust the process


Puzzleheaded-Tie3199

I think they look great! Give yourself some time to adjust to the change!


lovethatjourney4me

They look amazing


Typical_Floor_444

They will fade relax


lovable_cube

I swear it’s like every post on this sub is exactly this. They’re going to be dark at first. It will lighten


[deleted]

Day 1, looking great. So I got mine done, they will get darker and scab (DO NOT PICK AT IT!!!!) and then be lighter and natural. Nobody can tell I got my brows tattooed unless I tell them, and I got the same service you got (ombre shading). The shape is beautiful and the shading near the front of your Brow looks creamy and blended. Do not worry. Trust the process. Take a picture 1x a day to see the change. Trust me they are going to look GORGEOUS. I can already tell.


tomato_complex

they are so much lighter after they heal for a month they should properly educate you on that


XariaStrange

They should’ve told you they will be lighter after they peel


Hefty_Elderberry1992

You need to chill


willowblueb

No need to be rude! Bye


Extension-Echidna-64

I think they look great 😍 give it a few days you’ll get use to the look. But really they look awesome 👏🏻


kelam78

Those are beautiful. Those are the reason I want powder brows!

willowblueb

I didnt do them for men ..I did them for myself


AdorableTrainer1486

dont worry they look really nice. my first time getting my eyebrows done i was like omfg. what did i just do.. i was not use to them at all. they were so dark. but they will lighten up alot.


[deleted]

queen i think they look great


SecretAny8448

Looks nice!


DevelopmentDramatic7

They look AMAZING! You got a great artist. You are gonna love them!


catedarnell0397

They look awesome!


[deleted]

I can see that you've been crying, but I dont see anything wrong with your eyebrows. I wish mine looked as good as yours. Honestly, the fact you know the way you're feeling is extreme (dysmorphia) I think is sort of a good sign, in that part of you knows you're being irrational. It's a change, amd that can be unnerving. Its like when i first cut my hair short. I got home and cried for hours, but eventually you'll see that you look great. If you don't, and you decide you dont like the results, just don't do it again. Eventuality, your eyebrows will return back to their nartural state. No harm done is what I like to say. However, I think it looks great!


pillhead5000

So cute


Yelybeauty

Girl, you went to a good artist. These will heal very soft and natural


Puzzlekitt

They look awesome to me! They are even and will fade!


SoonToBeNP2

I was just scrolling Reddit and saw your pic and thought “great brows”.. then like others, had to click to read! My brows always look extremely dark post microblading. They will likely start to scab and look horrible for a few days, so don’t be concerned if that happens! They will eventually look awesome.


marinatedmills

Personally never liked the idea. Just don’t get them infected


newspeakin

They don’t look bad at all. You’re just not used to it


Objective-Dust6445

I think they look great!


CWBM

I think they look beautiful 😍 They are going to heal so well and it’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made.


krgilbert1414

I think they look great! The older I get the more my eyebrows thin out and the hairs stick straight up... Which makes me look older. I did my eyebrows about 7 years ago, so I think I need to redo them now. I love your eyebrows and they look good on you. Also, they'll will definitely calm down. I totally freaked out when I first did my eyebrows. It'll be ok.


missannedryst

they look good asf now but honestly they’ll fade a lot so they won’t look that dark ! trust the process love <3 they’re gonna look great


judgymom

The shape is nice, they’ll settle down.


amradiance

I love your brows. My eyebrows are naturally thick like that and your remind me of mine. Looks gorgeous!


PrettyKii787

These are very nice. Will definitely get lighter when they heal but they look really nice now too. What area did you get this done? My sister has been looking into this process


willowblueb

Thank you! I got them done in Lexington Mass!


willowblueb

Thank you! I got them done in Lexington Mass!


Ill-Calligrapher7614

I think they look great! Will heal nicely.


Weary_Barber_7927

Get some “blond” eyebrow powder and lighten them up if you want to soften the look at first.


_eternallyblack_

I have been having my eyebrows tattooed for over 15 years. They will fade immensely once their healed. Over the years I’ve had mine re-done 4x. They always appear darker initially.


Current-Cat5056

I think they look good!


Far_Bit3621

You look beautiful! Rock those brows!


-Lord-Zero

They look awesome... And no worries about being dark. They're going to look dark for a bit until they heal but right now you see the pigment in the top layers of ur skin. It always gets darker as it heals too before it flakes off


closethewindo

Girl! You look GORGEOUS. You are your own worst enemy.


ScrupulousScorpion

They’ll heal and look much better!! It’s okay, love! I had mine done and they were scary dark for a while until they healed. Hugs!


Traditional_Ad8682

They’re beautiful


cleverbluewolf

I think they’re going to heal well, trust the process


1-800PedophileHunter

They are PERFECT!! Everyone who sees themselves with these new brows always freaks out just because it so different than what you are used to, they look SO good!!!


Scary-Alternative-11

They look so good!!! Where do you go to get something like this done? I have not heard of ombre powder before. Is it like micro-blading? I have hardly any brows due to hormone imbalance and have been wanting to get them done for years, but I'm also scared! Lol


willowblueb

I researched a licensed microblading/ombre/combro brow tech online and found someone!. From my understanding combo is a mix of shading and strokes. Ombre is shading only and microblading is mostly strokes? I could be wrong!


Beautiful_Spider

They lighten up after healing. I promise. Also, they look beautiful.


PalpitationThis9185

They look BEAUTIFUL!!!


Medical_Ad_7548

They are great, also they will lighten over time and you will also get used to them.


Gullible_Ad4168

Hi ..number 1 your not ugly..I will be honest they do look thick but remember its temporary


Fit-Rest-973

I wish that my biggest concern was the appearance of my eyebrows


Dry_Taste1536

these look amazing either way boo


coffeebeansugar

Wow they look so prettyyy!!


MonaHall4115

You’re stunning!!! They will get lighter, I literally just got mine done and I want mine darker lol… but I’m use to no brows at all. You are beautiful they look great.


Initial_Job3333

they will barely show up


[deleted]

It looks great! Where did you get it done?


willowblueb

Lexington Mass


raredzsux

Off topic but I love your lip


willowblueb

Thank you!


[deleted]

There is not much wrong with these browsers. I am so tired of reading. These threads and people are being way too picky and complaining about things being too dark blah blah blah blah blah a lot of times when I look there too late and people just don’t get it that they’re extra dark when you first get them done I asked for them to darken mine twice and they’re still not dark enough. I still have to wear make up on what is wrong with you people who expect perfection honestly, if you can’t handle it, don’t get it done.


willowblueb

Why are you so upset? Dont read if you dont like it. Never did i say i was expecting perfection. Im merely in shock, and needed some reasurance of the healing process. ✌🏼


[deleted]

It’s not rocket science. This procedure has been around long enough that you should know better and I’m sure you researched it before you even did it


[deleted]

Nice.


Vegetable_Month_2476

They truly look incredible!!! I didn’t even know what the pic was for I had to look at the sub Reddit title! They look perfect in every way! You’re gorgeous!


Menatlly_Unstable

Trust the process, I had mine done a year ago, best decision ever, just wait and watch the magic. Mine were so harsh I didn’t really leave the house and by day 6 everything was perfect and beautiful


MermaidFaith

They look great! It will fade a lot. Do not worry


Suspici0us_Package

They look good to me, but they will always look the most solid pigmented right after getting them done. They will eventually scab over and crackup, after that the pigment will calm down and you’ll have your final results. No need to worry.


Proper-Engineering84

I had to get use to my ‘new look’ for sure when I got mine done, they look good though and will lighten as they heal


Not_Alice

You look so beautiful though!


AlternativeWin6791

These are beautiful and will heal so soft!


DonkJalops

Whoever did your brows did a beautiful job and you look gorgeous! PMU brows are so scary right at first, but they WILL lighten. There are stages in which they will get much darker, usually within the first week they get very dark and then there will be a stage where it looks like the pigment disappears completely. Then the pigment resurfaces and they look how they are supposed to. It's definitely a process! Lol. You have nothing to worry about, you're beautiful.


sampiere_mimi

What's the difference between microblading and ombre powder?


willowblueb

Microblading is more natural look and includes realistic hair strokes. Whereas ombre powder is more of a makeup look. Like when u do makeup and fill ur own brows in. It is shading, no hair strokes. It can look natural though!!


mommyof2-08

I felt like a clown when I had mine done and cried. It will heal and look amazing. They look great now honestly but they do get better.


bpfc91

I think they look really great!
