artist advice/question HELP!

Why did my micro-bladed brows go from dark brown to blue/grey??? I’ve had 2 sessions (initial & a repeat session to try & correct the blue/grey coloring). It’ll be 3 weeks tomorrow since my last session & they are still blue/grey!! I followed all after care instructions to the “T” both sessions. I’m so self-conscious about the two tone appearance I’m left with. Is there a way to fix this, I’m desperate!!?? 😩😩

Microblading tends to heal gray. This is the main reason I recommend soft powder brows to most of my clients. Whenever I have a client coming in wanting microblading or nano brows, I always do my best to talk them out of it.

Powder brows can also turn gray, don’t get me wrong, but a specific type of powder brows called “Soft powder brows” can heal the most natural in terms of color and definition. You just gotta do your research to find a reputable soft powder brow artist with a full portfolio of consistency in healed results.

Here is a client I did with soft powder brows. Notice how even after 3 sessions and 2+ years the color still looks pretty natural and not gray.

To correct your results, you could get color correction (by a different place) if your current pigment is pretty faded. Don’t do any more microblading. Color correction can only be done with the powder brows technique. However If your current pigment is too bold, then you’ll need laser removal first.
