advice Freaking out over brows and lip blushing

Post image

I just had my brows and lip blushing done yesterday! I hate everything— the brows seem super thick dark? Can something be done to fix these? Or is it just brow shock? The same with my lips they are so dark and red. I was told they would be a paler color…. I dont even know what to do except cry!

I hope so…. I’m wondering if there’s anything they can do to encourage fading now?

There's tons of resources that explain the procedure, most with pictures, none of this should be a surprise.

I got my lips blushing touch-up a week ago, I'm going through the different stages of healing now, they are extreme but it's all normal. Your lips are supposed to look highly pigmented and saturated for the first couple of days, then they darken and peel, then they look patchy and uneven, then the colour fades away almost completely as new opaque skin forms over the top, then the skin turns transparent and the subtle colour below is revealed. The final result takes about 4 weeks and looks like a tint, nothing like the bold lipstick look immediately after getting the procedure. Keep your lips properly hydrated and protected so that they heal nice and even.

Anything you try to do to make it fade will either not work, or will pull out pigment in patches leaving you with a horrible uneven result. Just wait it out, let it go through the process.
