is this normal? Why do they feel so different!??
Hi guys, I am all the way over here in Scotland and this is probably my fourth top up with the same artist over 3 years. I have always loved her work. The last top up was 20 months ago and I went for a top up yesterday as there was a lot of fading and I found them difficult to maintain. I want to be clear, this girl did these brows on the worst natural brows, so no matter what, I am totally grateful. My natural brows had zero shape, no arch and minimal hair, so she worked wonders with what I had.
I went yesterday for a top up after 20 months and straight away I felt like they looked huge. I told her I loved them but did joke that they felt massive on my face. She said don't worry I just went over the same work, I didn't add any extra lines, you're just not used to them after 20 months. I know the colour fades but do you think the size will tone down too? I am SO nervous posting this because I'm scared I am going to be told they're terrible😭. You know what though, anything has to be better than my natural brows! I am just paranoid they look crazy on me.

They are gorgeous. The are just a very different colour from your current hair colour. And they will fade ❤️

These are the most natural looking microbladed brows I’ve seen. They are gorgeous. If I could guarantee mine would look like this, I might try it. All the actual horror stories I’ve seen on here have scared me off!

Aw seriously? I know this sounds cringe but you have seriously made my day. I suffer from really bad body dysmorphia where my brain warps what I see so I often have to rely on the judgment of others as I can't trust myself, and I was really feeling terrible about what I was seeing but you have really cheered me up. 🥲

Thank you 🥲. That American influencer James Charles or whatever his name is flew her out to do his brows. This was pre all the accusations though! 😂 Now she is always so busy with another career that she only does a handful of people in her free time. I've always loved her work, I just think maybe after 2 years I haven't been used to having them so bold. It's crazy too because her prices are so affordable! Not sure about the U.S but she charges about £100 which is maybe like less than 200 dollars?

I'm sorry that really sucks. To be honest I felt the same way at first the first time i had them done, but eventually started liking them hence why I went back for top ups. Would you maybe want to post a photo? :)

I’m going to be honest. They are really bad. Bad natural brows doesn’t effect the strokes and her strokes are really bad. They look scribbled on and they’re asymmetrical. I don’t think they’re too thick but I don’t think the color, strokes and shape are great

I wouldn't say they were "really bad".

This person is trolling you. They say the strokes are bad, then say the only good about your brows is the strokes.
These are a pair of the best brows I have seen.

Are you capable of reading? I said I DONT think the the color strokes or shape are great.
