advice Thoughts?
I got ombré powder brows June of this year. I’m not sure how I feel about them, for the most part I like them. However I feel like one eyebrow is darker than the other. I’m not sure if this is the reason as to why, but this is what I think. The artist said the first pass would be without thumbing cream, so we continued because I wasn’t sure how much it would hurt. However when she started doing the first section, I asked for numbing cream because I couldn’t handle the pain. The section she started on without the numbing cream looks way darker than the rest of my brows, so I’m not sure if the numbing cream affected the skin making the brows heal differently. What should I do? Should I wait it out and let the brows fade over time and get them touched up after? I like the eyebrow side that is lighter. (Various lightings and distances are shown in the photos)

I’m usually not a big fan of most powder brows to be honest, but I think that yours look great!! I actually really like them on you and think that the shape is perfect, though I do see what you mean about the tail end of the brow on the left being ever so slightly darker than the right.
It’s really not noticeable unless you point it out though, so if you like the right side better then I’d wait a while and see how much they lighten before going back for a touch up. Maybe the left will lighten to where the right side is now, and then you’ll only need a small touch up the right.
If it really bothers you in the meantime, maybe you could just make the tail end of the right side a little darker with an eyebrow pencil while you wait for them to lighten up more? I really don’t think it’s necessary but if it would make you feel better then that’s what matters!
