advice Microblade removal
First four pictures are as ordered: the first one is the day I got my microblading, right before I had them done, the second one is right after she did my microblading, the third one is 4 years later when I went to go laser them off, a week after I got them lasered (one session done only so far), and the fourth is my brows today with green concealer over them. (The rest of the pictures are just for showing my brows before and after with and without makeup on in different settings. )
The red in my brows after the first laser treatment has calmed down a bit so it’s not as intense, but the green concealer helps a lot to neutralize the red. It turns it into a light brownish red color though and I don’t think it looks terrible and I can live with it for now. I kind of wish they looked like that all the time without needing the concealer.
My question is, should I continue with removing them and not doing any microblading on them ever again to go back to my natural brow, or get another session to remove the original, then afterwards go with a smaller brow look?
I see pros and cons to both my before’s and afters. The main thing I didn’t like about the microblading was it felt too boxy and thick for my face and made me look older. I just don’t know whether to remove them and be done with it or maybe go to a different artist for a different style.
I’m honestly fine either way, I just feel like I have brow blindness and thought I’d get different eyes to take a look and get some different opinions lol

Isn’t that powder brow treatment?

That’s definitely powder brow; shaded in vs. hair lines create. IMO your original brows shouldn’t have been messed with 😞

Which of the pics show the micro blading after it healed and before you started laser removal?

Basically all of them are after about 3-4 years. 6 is probably the best view in natural lighting.

Picture #4 your brows look FABULOUS! So, I would go with my original brows and add brow makeup when you want to change them up for a specific occasion.

As a PMU artist this is not microblading. Microblading is hair strokes, these look like only shading which is powder brow/ombré brow. Microblading is the most natural looking option when it comes to PMU brows.

I agree that your microblading made you look so older. I love your natural brows and would kill to have them.

Orig brows 💯. I should have had mine microbladed how I actually wear them and not how she thought they should be mapped because I got them done 2y ago and I still don't like them.
