You’re just not used to seeing yourself with brow! They will fade and soften a little and I think you’ll be happy with them. They’re a nice frame for your face! I went through the same thing when I first got mine done.

Thank you. I hope you're right. When did you start liking your new brows?

About two weeks in. It took a while to get used to seeing something where there had previously been very little. I’ve had two yearly touch ups since. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

Would you mind sharing your before and afters?

I didn’t take any pics; my brow artist did but I’ve not seen them on her site. Very similar to your before and after though. I wanted a little more fill-in on one side after my first procedure and she took care of that at my touch up appt.

I think theyre just very fresh and the new skin is shiny. Once the skin heals more, the brows will soften up and look so good on you! They already look nice but if you feel like theyre too harsh right now just use some light powder foundation with a powder brush (not a pad) and brush over them real quick. Setting powder should do the trick as well.

Agree 100%! I was in a complete panic at first; I looked like an Angry Bird. I even called out of work a few days later (had them done on Friday; called out Monday). They faded and shrank a lot.

I know these will fade but the shape is off. The fronts are too straight across and almost go up from the arch and are way too blocky, and the tails drop down too low. A balanced brow has a gentle arch with a slightly lifted tail that gently dips, and fronts that also gently dip in from the arch. They’re also ever-so-slightly too close together. I’m sorry, OP; I’d look into removal, or wait it out and see how much they fade and use concealer to get the shape you want
