Wake Up with Makeup: 2017 is the Year of the Brow
Have you spent hours scrolling beauty gurus and youtube makeup artists’ instagram pages in envy of their perfect brow? The color, the arch, the positioning on the face all look so perfect. Have you sunk hundreds of dollars in pricey eyebrow palettes at Ulta and Sephora and watched instructional how-to videos, until your eyes were strained from staring at the computer screen too long, only to still be unable to achieve that flawless eyebrow you so desperately want?
Even if you can do your own eyebrows reasonably well with traditional cosmetics, do you wish you could sleep in a little longer in the mornings, and go to sleep a little sooner at night, instead of an endless cycle of applying your eyebrows and then the painstaking task each night of removing them? You know the skin around your eyes in the most delicate on your entire face, so you feel guilty about the constant pull and tug you give your eyes each day as you apply and remove your eyebrow gels, powders, brow mascaras, eyebrow pencils,and pomades.

Invest in Microblading
All the money you are investing in these eyebrow cosmetics (not to mention growth serums) literally washes down the drain at the end of the day. Why not invest in something more permanent? The beauty buzzword of 2017 is microblading. It’s not your grandma’s era semi-permanent “Angry Birds” style stenciled-blocked brows. (We’ve all seen those tattooed eyebrows from a mile away. Their calling card is the unmistakable bluish gray tinge.) Microblading is certainly not that.

Microblading uses a special tool, not a tattoo gun, to deposit pigment into the upper layers of your skin. It looks identical to individual brow hairs. It’s so realistic in appearance, you’ll forget where your brow begins and the microblading ends. Your pigment is carefully selected by microblading experts based on your skin tone, hair color, hair line, and your input on the desired outcome of the procedure. Stencils should not be used as every face is unique; therefore, every brow should be customized to maximize your facial beauty in the most symmetrical way. While it’s true: “eyebrows are sisters not twins,” you don’t want them to look drastically different. Something so revolutionary in the field of semi permanent cosmetics won’t break the bank. High quaility microblading prices az start out as low as $600. That’s a small price to pay for perfect brows 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
Microblading enables you to have Instagram worthy eyebrows no matter how humid the climate is in your state. You won’t sweat them off during your Soul Cycle spin class and they won’t smudge onto your partner’s face during intimate moments. Perfectly groomed eyebrows instantly make you look more put together.
You won’t lose all pigment, but over time, they’ll eventually fade. This is a good thing as you don’t want the same brows at 45 that you had at 25. Small and subtle tweaks over the years can keep you looking youthful, fresh, and never dated.
Choosing a Microblading Facility
You’ll want to choose an artist that has plenty of client testimonials. You’ll also want to see pictures of before and after photos. You want to make sure you see pictures of the healed work as healed microblading, the final result, looks much different than the look immediately after the ink has been inserted into the skin. Choose a hygienic salon. If there are required certifications in your state, make sure your artist is compliant. Don’t be shy to ask around. Chances are if someone has perfect eyebrows every single day, they might be sporting the work of an amazing microblading artist. Review sites like Yelp to help make your decision. At the end of the day, remember it’s your face. If you have a bad feeling or do not like the color or shape the artist has chosen for you, you can always walk away until you find the right artist. Hopefully then you’ll be walking away with perfect brows!
