Eyebrows...

It has officially been one week since I got my eyebrows touched up and, I am feeling much better about them this time around. I still need to go back again for another touch-up and I am really hoping that it will be the last time. That being said, they are much better now. The color held and they are darker now. But, I need to have her touch up the inner half of both brows. The outer half of both of them are is great. But, from about the middle of my brows to the inner corners are lighter than the outer half. If my right one looked like my left one, I might not even bother to have them touched up again because that one is more noticeably not quite right. There is a spot on the inner corner that is darker and held well. From there till about the middle of my brow it is quite a bit lighter. Then from the middle of my brow to the outer corner, it is darker and looks great. I don't know how she'll go about evening everything out so that it is all one shade all the way through each brow but, I am hopeful that the 3rd time will be the charm. For now, I just use a really little bit of my brow powder to even things out. It takes probably less than 30 seconds to do my brows in the morning now. That is a far cry from the 3 to 5 minutes it used to take to draw them in and then soften them up with brow powder. Getting closer!

Brows Part II

I had my brow touch-up done yesterday and am pleased thus far but, am cautiously optimistic given how much they lightened up last time and how somewhat disappointed I ended up being. She did them in a darker color this time around and she was positive that they wouldn't lighten up as much as they did the last time. I probably should have taken pictures of how much they lightened up last time to post here so that you could all see that I wasn't exaggerating in the slightest but, I was disheartened by it so, I didn't feel like it. Anyway, I am hopeful that it takes this time and I finally have the brows I should have always had. I will post pictures of them when they have healed and lightened up. Till then, wish me luck!

Brow Update...

This is to update you all on my brows. A few days after my tattooing, the brows flaked and lightened up a lot. I have had to use makeup to darken them to a shade I feel comfortable with and will be going in tomorrow to get a touch up. That was to be expected as they do tend to lighten up after the first time. I just wasn't aware of how much they would lighten up. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed at first but, because the outer corner of my left eyebrow is still fairly dark, I am encouraged by that and have faith that they will turn out exactly how I want them. I just really hope it will happen this time so I don't have to wait another month to go back and get them touched up again.

My understanding is that, at some point, your brows become saturated with only as much color as it can take and, no matter how much more color you keep tattooing on at that one appointment, it just won't take any more.

So, we'll see. Wish me luck. I really would love to be able to set aside my eyebrow powder and brush all together.
