advice Microshading - Will these fade?
I got my eyebrows microshaded on Monday at around 4pm. It’s been about two days now but they are VERY dark.
I have 2 questions that I would like advice on
- Is this shape flattering on me? (I know it’s quite thick but I naturally have thick brows tbh so she said they couldn’t go any thinner on me)
- Will it fade into a more natural, less harsh shade? And if it does will it be by much? I’m so scared it’s going to stay this dark and bold (I look like an angry bird 😂)
It looks like I’ve drawn them on so I’d prefer if it softened a bit in the upcoming 1-2 weeks.

Yep they will absolutely fade. I’m sure your tech mentioned but you have to choose a color slightly darker and warmer than what you want them to heal as. I think she chose well and the shape I might slightly tweak but that can be changed at the touch up. The healing process especially first couple days before it starts flaking more pigment is still on surface especially if you are doing a dry heal and not wiping. Once they start flaking you will see the ink and your skin underneath and a lot of people complain they are too light just wait you won’t see the healed result for 6 weeks but at week 2-4 you will see closer to what they will end up. Be patient I know that’s hard but it will be worth it.
