So we should all be aware of how important eyebrows are in framing the face and enhancing aesthetic. @Felix97 has an excellent and comprehensive guide and if you haven’t seen it you should check it out:


I wanted to supplement this guide with an additional eyebrow maxxing strategy; particularly for those who have very sparse brows.

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo. It can be used to add volume, fill in areas with little hair and give a more aesthetic shape. A pen-like tool with micro-needles is used to create tiny hair-like strokes, depositing medical-grade pigment beneath the top layer of skin.

Microblading


…I know what you may be thinking here: This sounds dodgy af!! But hold on - please suspend your judgement temporarily. It’s one of the fastest (and dare I say best?) ways to achieve a thicker, natural-looking, long-lasting brow.

We really have come a long way since permanent makeup brow treatment, which tends to look heavy and unnatural. The microblade is much, much thinner than the needles used for tattoos. Compared to hairstroke technique performed with a PMU machine, microblading strokes heal a lot thinner and crisper, they look more natural and do not blur. Similarly, microblading is superior to eyebrow tinting, which tints all of the skin underneath the brow hairs and therefore does not look as natural or hair-like.

Microblading does not penetrate the deeper layers of skin and is not permanent. Depending on your skin type and the products you use microblading should last 12-18 months. If you’re on Retinol (why wouldn't you be?) the advice is to discontinue use at least a week prior and also avoid the eyebrow area after microblading unless you want it to fade. Again from reading posts about retinols and fat loss, it sounds like you should really be avoiding the eye area anyway.

The process

The brows are cleaned and shaped. The area is then numbed with a topical cream. Once the area is numb the needling process begins, with a final layer of pigment added after this, then clean and you’re done. After about 6-8 weeks there's a touch-up/top-up session to fill in any gaps where the pigment hasn't taken or healed properly.

Tips

Get the right colour.
It’s better to go more natural and add depth later at the top up session. If you're white, as a rule of thumb, your eyebrows tend to be 1 or 2 shades lighter than the hair on your head. If your eyebrows are too dark you’ll end up looking weird.

Look with your practitioner at the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Chart, which also takes into account how your skin will change with sun exposure etc., to ensure the correct colour pigment choice.

Importantly, brows may be up to 40% darker in shade for the first 7-10 days during the healing process. You may also get some slight scabbing and flaking but this doesn’t apply to everyone. If you’re high-inhib I guess quarantine for this time?

Get the right shape. One of the pros of microblading is that you get to have the eyebrow shape you want (within reason). This is particularly helpful if your eyebrows are sparse. Consider what we know to be attractive – low set, straight and the tail of the brow extending beyond the eye.

Obviously, it goes without saying but pick a skilled practitioner. Check out their previous work and make sure you’re clear about your needs in the consultation.

Final thoughts – the process is completely reversible. The pigment used leaves no scarring or discolouration, and you can apply a solution to remove microbladed brows. I appreciate this may not be the looksmaxxing technique for everyone, but I suspect that these kinds of soft maxxing techniques are becoming much more normalised for men. Hopefully some of you might consider it and obtain the brows of your dreams!

Its actually a decent method, but make sure to find a male microneedle professional who specializes in working with guys. If you go to 99% of beauty salons, you will get gay looking arched eyebrows since thats the only thing they teach them in beauty schools
