Glow Up

We all have a favourite celebrity, model or online personality who we look to for inspiration. The trouble with wanting to have things exactly like them is not knowing if it’ll work for us. When it comes to faces we all have different shapes, bone structure and hair density. So while it’s good to draw inspiration, keeping an open mind while also being realistic to what works for you is key.

I get a lot of clients who come into their microblading session knowing exactly what they want. The main requests I get are achieving a higher, more defined arch, length - which usually requires elongating the tail, going thicker and building fullness. I also get clients who have no idea what they want or what will look good on them. This is generally true for people that are on the more natural side and don’t wear much makeup, or have been filling in their eyebrows for years, but never getting a shape that they are truly happy with. 

As a microblading technician, the one thing I would like clients to know before coming in is that brows aren’t one size fits all. The goal is never to completely change your face and have you look like someone else by the end of the tattoo session; It’s to enhance what you already have in order to make the rest of your features pop! 

The first thing you should know is how thick you’d like to go. People often confuse thickness with fullness. Thickness is width and fullness is adding depth into the dense (sparse)  areas of your eyebrows. Almost anyone can pull off a thick brow but it’s not always a desired look. Some people prefer to have a thinner brow, and that’s ok too. Going thicker may sometimes mean going outside of where your natural brows grow. In choosing this, your tattoo will be a little more visible as opposed to just adding fullness to the sparse area of your eyebrows.

Your arch and tail are the next couple things that can make or break your look. A high, super defined arch may look great on one person, but if you’d have an intense look to begin with, a brow like this can end up being too harsh. Rounding off the arch will help create softness and is a more versatile, everyday look. Having your tail fall too short can also make your eyebrows look short, which in turn make your eyes look squished. The tail should end where the imaginary line going from the corner of your eye, to the outside corner of your nose is, never before that line, and only a couple millimeters past it, if a longer look is what you want. 

As a client you aren’t expected to be versed in any of this, but it’s always good to have some understanding on how to achieve the brows you want. Appointments with me are on the longer side (3-4 hours for first session), and not because I want to waste your time, but because I see the value in taking the time to measure and draw a shape that’s perfectly suited for your face, while also going back and forth with you until you’re 100% happy with what we created. Also, everything cannot be done in one sitting and that’s what your touch up is for. This appointment (2 hours) gives us room to adjust anything that wasn’t working well, or to further perfect. Hello, dream brows! 😍
