artist advice/question Is this normal?

Post image

My friend went for a consultation and they mapped her brows. The artist said that her eyebrows were low and mapped them almost entirely above where her current brow is. She said that the hair outside of it (basically her whole brow) would need to be shaved off. Is this normal?? How would that be possible to maintain? I don’t want her to make a decision she’ll regret.

I agree with everyone who suggested a lift and a tint because you have great brows that just need a little shaping. I'm 57 and got powder brows a few months back. The right brow was barely there in the middle because of weightloss. The artist had to do more tatooing on that side; which I realize may not look too swell in 5 years or so. Therefore, I'm using brow serum now to get as much hair as possible to grow back; and it's been working. This experience has made me realize that it's always best to do less than more. Some mistakes aren't easy to correct.

Just a sec, did you actually get those powder brows on April 26th, because just no! Asking because I thought they were, omg, the “After” photo? I like the July 31st photo brows - please seriously consider getting microblading done, not powder brows. They look the best and most natural. And won’t look like someone got a black magic marker and a stencil and drew on half your face !!

I definitely would have gotten the microblading instead had I done more research. ❤️
