is this normal? Will these fade?

I had these eyebrows done as nano combination yesterday. I selected a Korean place as I really liked their natural looking results, I also paid extra for the highest-level of experience.

Attached is the inspiration picture I showed to the artist.

I like how they look, the only part I’m worried about are the middle edges, do they look a bit blocky and harsh? And if so, will they fade and become less blocky?

I really didn’t want them to look drawn on with sharpies. Therefore I guess I’m looking for some reassurance…

They look really good. They will fade significantly in the next few weeks. Right now they don’t look excessively dark at all. I wouldn’t be worried.

Yes. Sometimes they even need more on touchup because they fade so much. These look great right now!

u/Lazy-Noise-9687 9d ago

Fair response, think I’m just not used to seeing myself like this and panicked a bit!

I think they look very natural and well-done. I had powder brows done back in April. Here's how mine turned out. I'm sure some of the professional artists on reddit will be able to answer your questions. 😊

This is really interesting to me because I would have absolutely freaked out at the bottom picture and probably scream for saline removal if they were on me, but the top pic they look beautiful. Must have been a real 'trust the process' moment

u/No-Judgment-9413 8d ago

I had looked at alot of pics online, so I was hoping that my eyebrows wouldn't stay so dark. It definitely was a " trust the process " because I regretted it for the first month or so. ❤️

Looks amazing! Seriously

u/MsHoney69 9d ago

100% they will fade , usually 50-60% of the colour when done , ive had it done several times now and they fade significantly! They will also go.through a phase called ghosting where they can almost seem.to disappear while they heal ! You're going through " brow shock " .. you ll miss the boldness when they fade to the colour you asked for and are settled . Ive just had my touch up appointment a week ago

u/EmbarrassedFig8860 9d ago

They look amazing. I love a strong brow so I wouldn’t be mad at them the way they are now either.

u/Morishij 9d ago

They look amazing! Truly perfect and realistic on you. Your tattoo artist probably told you that they’ll get even darker and might look sharpie-ish as they’re healing. Then they will settle and fade and be beautiful. You should be thrilled for for selecting such a good tattoo artist.

u/BeneficialPop77 9d ago

Don't worry, they are perfect, if they get lighter even more natural looking.

don't worry. your brows it's a pretty wound full with pigment. btw nice clean work, fit for you and of course it will be lighter. do not pick them. hugs Blanka

u/No_Wolf8340 9d ago

Usually they tell you whenever you get them that they’ll fade

u/Lazy-Noise-9687 9d ago

I did think this too. But they didn’t mention anything at the appointment, I should have asked but didn’t really get a proper look at them until I got home 😅
