Here's What To Expect When You Microblade Your Eyebrows - My Experience

[@christineheikkenen9276]

Your eyebrows look amazing! So very natural and the color is spot on! I'm 65, and a now considering getting this done. Thank you for doing this video :) You've got a new subscriber :)

[@JustDoingMyBest]

You are so welcome! Thank you. I’m so glad you’re here and took the time to say Hello 👋

[@tony636able]

I'm a man, but I still appreciate this detailed information based on your actual experience. Thank you very much for caring and sharing.

[@aprilm3848]

Your eyebrows look beautiful! I’m so glad I found your channel as I’m ‘mature’ and very fair. I don’t want thick, dark, boomerang eyebrows and am starting to research salons that offer the service and what they create. I’m now a new subscriber! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Hi. I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for saying Hi. Definitely scroll through social media of the salons. It’s a great way to see their work. I hope you love the results.

[@mrdarcy9379]

Im at research stage now.. your microbladed eyebrows are exactly 💯% what im looking for if I proceed. I have let my hair go natural Grey and so im looking for someone who does a very natural colour. Nothing dark or over done. Thankyou for all the suggestions here. Extremely helpful. Im early 60's, my eyebrows are all but disappeared. With white hairs. But I have a very shaky hand now and find it so difficult to use eyebrow pencils and eyebrow powder and gels. I wish you were here where i live, i'd ask you to come with me so i can say to the technician "see, just like that"😊👌

[@donnabrown4345]

Very natural looking. I like that they don’t look like perfect stencils. I’ve been debating but I think I’ll do this now. Thank you !

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Definitely find someone who has lots and lots of pictures of their work on line. So many people have stencils. You want someone who will individualize your experience. Hope that helps.

[@marydoyle1721]

I am 76 and have white hair. My eyebrows were so sparse from tweezing and trimming that I finally got my brows done Monday. Today is the 4th day. The new brows make me feel a little self conscious, so I am laying low and wearing hat and sunglasses until they begin to fade a bit. I am feeling positive they will be fine. I am also waiting for new glasses after eye surgery. That's part of the problem is not seeing well. Overall, I think I'll be fine.

[@carlel121]

Yeah I went for microblading for the natural look and I don’t regret it, the lady who did the procedure told me is up of what you are looking for, some women want like more make up look eyebrows, for that you can go with ombré powder.

[@lenorelopez748]

Thank you! Did it several years ago. Bad experience with that specific girl but willing to do it again!!

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I hope you find someone you love. I wish I would have done it sooner!!!

[@lmb4876]

Your brows [ and you } look beautiful

[@dmwilson528]

Absolutely helpful! I'm 8 days since my procedure and starting to really notice the scabing (yea!) which means I'm well on my way to the final outcome. I'm a almost 62 year old African American woman and 😂 looking like Groucho Marx ! Thank goodness I work from home. My technical is great! Knew instinctively that the type of brows that is "in" for the younger women just was not going to cut it. Anxiously waiting for what the brows will look like in a few more days....

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Hi. Make sure you’re keeping them moisturized (vaseline). I know what you mean about working from home and being able to hide a bit while they heal. Lol. I know you’re going to be gorgeous 💕. Thanks for taking the time to say Hi.

[@kimvillasenor3]

Your brows look great! I got henna done and liked how my girl did mine. My sister went in and got different brows that looked great on her. I plan on getting microblading done in the new year.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

That is awesome! I’m so glad I got mine done. It’s a game changer for sure.

[@austinbeckyj]

Soooooo very helpful ... I'm a senior woman and you helped immensely! Thx!!!

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I’m so glad!!!!

[@KarenaCawthon]

So glad to have found your channel. I have been on the fence about micro blading, but after watching your video, I'm going to go for it! Thanks!

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I’m so glad. Just research your artist. Really check out their social media pages and you’ll find a good one!!! Good luck.

[@KarenaCawthon]

@@JustDoingMyBest I see that your video is a year old. Any thoughts now, a year down the line? How has the upkeep been? I've also been looking at nano-blading; any thoughts on that? Thanks!

[@carolynsmith2208]

Great video as I have been contemplating having my brows done🤗

[@JustDoingMyBest]

You'll love the results! But make sure you find a person who has done several and you can see pictures. 💕

[@Chaparrita707]

I got microblading done yesterday. Let me tell you ,I got my brows tattooed about 9 years ago, and this was a completely different experience! There have been big strides in the permanent makeup industry! Totally worth the $ I paid. I found a very reputable artist. I am in my 40s, and I love my beautiful results ❤ My eyebrows in my profile picture is beforehand.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I’m so so so glad you love it. Yes it’s changed so much and it helps to really research the artist as well. Yay!!!!

[@KarenaCawthon]

I'm 68 years old. :) Something you said about only "high maintenance" women would consider MB really resonated with me. Since I'm retired, I hate wearing foundation. When I've done a good job on my brows, I just use tinted sunscreen, lip gloss and mascara. But sketching in my brows is so difficult.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

It is difficult sometimes and as we get older it’s getting more and more difficult.

[@pattyjones3264]

Lots of great info! Now, how to find someone in my area!

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I really hope this helped. I hope you find someone you love 💕

[@sheliamac2]

An excellent account of the procedure. Thank you.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carlel121]

I did micro blading 3 days ago, I was so freaking nervous, I’m here to tell you that there is not reason to be afraid, is not painful if they numb that part, when finished you might feel a little pain, nothing like 2 Advils can’t take way, by the second day not pain whatsoever, I’m happy I did it! My eyebrows looks great, but still in the process of scabbing, is supposed to look better and more natural in time 😊

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I’m so happy you love them. Mine never scabbed. Did they give you an ointment to put on them? If not get some aquaphor (probably spelling that wrong). Keep that on them morning and night for a week. They will heal beautifully and no scabbing. Hope that helps.

[@cafarrar1959]

Very Helpful !

[@cocojo2356]

I would never had thought that you had tattooed eyebrows, they look so natural. I'd love to get mine done but like you, I dread the thought of them being like the young girls eyebrows. You've really encouraged me and now I know where to start looking and what to expect (wish I could just go to your girl for it). Thank you for this excellent video and advice. 🙂

[@JustDoingMyBest]

You’re so welcome. I think if you really find one who shares a ton of pictures you’ll find someone who will create exactly what you want. Best of luck. I can’t wait to hear how it goes!!! 💕

[@FRHumphrey]

hey there.. Nice to meet you. I have considered it. I have a friend who does tattoo and is certified to do eyebrows. still on the fence

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I’m so glad I finally did it. I think you’ll be pleased. Thanks for being here

[@joannanangle4876]

Spot on it's if they listen mmmmm listen ing main problem yeah that in itself a worry

[@daniellebattisti3483]

Your eyebrows look great. I just dont want to spend that much for this procedure. Its a great concept. Very helpful video, thank you.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Glad it was helpful! I absolutely understand what you mean. It’s definitely an investment the first time.

[@LizbethMartinez-km8uy]

Super helpful thanks

[@nanemoon9968]

I had it done two years ago and I would not do it again. Reason why: It looked good the first year but then I noticed the colour changes slightly. Now, especially in artificial light it looks blueish purple, I use powder to make it disappear but that of course is what I didn't want. The fading process is not evenly distributed, some lines are still strong and some are almost gone. Good side: I so have my own template on where to plug. I could have a makeover with fresh colors but of that I'm afraid will lead to more blueish fade in the future. Just my personal experience, of course

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I absolutely understand that. I’ve seen others who have theirs fade different as well. I have not that experience but can see how it could happen. It’s possible also that products have gotten better also.

[@littlebeebs1]

Yours look amazing! Great video! Thank you ❤

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@arlendickson2119]

Thank you soooo much! It was very helpful.❣️

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I’m so glad!!!!! 💕💕

[@PerrySkyePhoenix]

I have no brow hair. I've had many people try to talk me into getting brows tattooed on over the years... I won't do it. I draw on my brows every day. They most likely look like sh** most of the time, but at the end of the day I wipe them off and try again tomorrow. I don't want anything "permanent" on my face. I have a f'ed up tattoo on my forearm that I've had to live with for over a decade. I wear long sleeves year 'round. Someday... hopefully before I die, I can afford a cover up.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

I understand that for sure. I was very ver. Wry hesitant. Permanent makeup can be very scary. I found someone who was very receptive to what I wanted. She did a great job and now I can’t believe I waited to long. You have do what’s comfortable for you! 💕💕

[@TampaVW]

Hi! Great video. Very informative. I’m 61 and I’m considering micro blading. After you get it done do you have to do anything while applying makeup? Like do you have to touch them in or something?

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Yes I do! A little bit not much but you dont have to it on a daily basis if you dont want.

[@ClaudiaGerbino]

Thanks

[@dixielambrecht7009]

What color did you go with? Im really worried about going to dark and looking ridiculous. I have white hair.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

If you get a good tech she will help you. My advice is a light-medium shade. Too dark and they will look harsh. Since I still Color my hair I went for a medium to dark blonde shade. I hope that’s helpful.

[@PondBallet]

Thank you for this video. What color did you choose for your brows? As I understand, there is no taupe, only blonde, browns, black.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Great question. They will blend a color for you. Based on your coloring and your preferences.

[@patteegee9506]

Ladies, don't do it. The brows may look good for a little while, but not indefinitely. You will find stories all over the internet, like on KZbin, about ladies who regretted it and have gone through great lengths to remove it. Do your research about long term outcome.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Mine look great. No problems at all. I could not be happier.

[@sarahscott2496]

It’s really about finding someone who has real integrity and artistic skill.

[@1Hope4All]

I'm also older and I do not wear makeup. But I do have to fill in my eyebrows. I don't consider that makeup. If I don't have eyebrows, I look like I'm a bit angry! 🤣

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Isn’t it amazing what the brows can do for our face? I envy you that don’t wear makeup. It’s all a slippery slope once you start!!! 💕

[@1Hope4All]

@@JustDoingMyBest That's right! When I was in my 20s, I only wore eye makeup. I never wore any foundation on my skin or any blush or even any lipstick. I only wore a little bit of eyeshadow and a little bit of liner pencil. And I definitely needed to curl my eyelashes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see them. 🤣

[@1Hope4All]

@@JustDoingMyBest In my 30s and older, I just needed some concealer under my eyes. In my late 40s is when I started filling in my brows but it was a quick fill in. But now with a lot less hair, it takes a bit longer. So doing either microblading or Ombré would be very helpful and save me a lot of time. I'm leaning more towards Ombré. That's what they're recommending more over the microblading. And I'm talking about the ones who actually do it. They prefer Ombré over the other. And I no longer use concealer. I'm over it! 🤣

[@79Browneyes79]

Next time do powder brows because it will last longer than microblading. Powder brows holds the color longer then microblading.

[@JustDoingMyBest]

Thanks for that.

[@RobertalWilliams]

Please refer to grown adults as women and men. Referring to adults as a "girl" or worse, "My girl" is not the way to value the value of women's work. Women are still paid a significant amount less than men because all women's work is valued by our male society as less valuable than men. Just think, Black men do not allow themselves to be called "boy" or boys. Ask yourself would you refer to a man doing your eyebrows as "my boy"? Lets not let the 60 year fight for equal pay and equal rights for women be forgotten. Please consider not referring to any adults by girls or boys. Try it with a group of men working at a bank, a barber shop, police station. \

Your eyebrows look great but too much for my pocket.
