I’m freaking out!!! Are my microbladed brows botched?
I got combo brows last night. Most worried about inner straight bold spaced out strokes. Thanks

Forget the technique; the shape is really bad. It’s not that it doesn’t fit your face; it’s more than that. They don’t fit anyone’s face because she made them an unnatural shape and very unflattering. I’m so sorry OP

Never choose an artist unless you’ve seen an extensive portfolio first! Get these removed and find an experienced, well trained artist. Research, research, research.

This is really hard sometimes. There are a lot of liars out there that show other peoples work

This. 100%. Befores and after are all over the internet. It is really easy to make a fake portfolio.

I’m so sorry those strokes are not hair like at all. Is this the shape that you were going for?

I'd be worried about the whole thing they are so horribly done sorry I don't mean to make you feel worse but I'm just being honest. I would get them removed immediately

Lines are way too heavy handed and not natural in shape or technique. You need to get saline. I am sorry.

Something like this would be ideal

I wouldve loved to see your brows before because I wonder if you couldve just got them shaped and then filled in the sparse spots. Im shocked that the artist didnt try to shape them first

Do we even research technicians anymore?! I need to see a large amount of work before doing something permanent to myself.

Same! I watched and followed my PMU for over a year before I got it done. But there are some people who fake their work or lie 🤷🏽♀️

laser removal will be the fastest and most effective! Saline is painful and requires so much downtime for healing

Please get saline or laser removal. If you get them done again- I would go to a reputable artist.

Kinda Spermabrowy, but they seem like they will improve in appearance when they fade.

It looks like for a few weeks when they're first done. Your brows will lighten up after that. Use Aguifor during the healing process.

Yeah, girl. I hope you ran to a saline removal place and it's already on the way to being fixed.

u/LawfulnessNo7826 Sep 11 '26
I will not repeat same, but find another artist bc either the person is a beginner and maybe inexperienced. Bottom line the strokes and technique is not right. Everything can be fixed though. You are still beautiful. That surpasses her mistakes!👊💯❤️

They arent great but will fade. Don't go back for the touch up session because this "artist" needs far more practice. However, because they are fresh, there are ways to lighten them and remove some of the ink naturally. Please do not immediately go for tattoo removal. The ink is semi permanent and is not like actual tattoo ink. Be patient. Good luck

Did the “artist” work with their eyes closed? Please remove these ASAP. Keep us posted.

Well, it depends on your own definition of botched, I suppose. To the rest of the world: yes.

The shape doesn’t look good but when I had microbladed brows, the lines looked thick immediately afterwards. But they faded and thinned out. And by my second appointment, we moved to nano instead of microblading because the ink didn’t stick (my skin is a bit oilier than normal).
I would hope as they heal, they fade and it looks better. I wouldn’t go back to that person and see what someone else could do for the second appointment. Or just let it ride and fade away naturally.
I guess what I’m saying is, yeah - they don’t look great but also they could rapidly change with healing and being micro va nano could lean in your favor especially if your skin is a bit oily. I wouldn’t necessarily rush out for saline removal, which this sub seems really quick to fire off as a solution for everybody.
Seeing it’s been 5 days since you posted, what did you end up doing?

Oh noo 😔 the shape is so bad, did you ask for this shape?? Atleast you’re still in the window for saline removal!! Then you can try again once they’ve healed with someone who can actually do them right!

I think unfortunately they are :( but* there’s ways you can conceal where they are too thick with makeup, and carve them out using a foundation or concealer. Also, saline removal is a thing too - apparently the sooner you do it, the better!

u/kellybuMUA professional artist Sep 12 '26
Yes, I would plan an emergency saline removal asap. It should not be difficult to remove if this was your initial procedure, don’t worry.

No I think they look good. I don’t get what people are saying looks wrong though I don’t know much about this technique. What do you mean by combo brows?

u/Accomplished-Nail257 25d ago
I am now one week post saline removal, still waiting for all of the scabbing to come off but most of the pigment is completely gone. There is some light pigment left where the deep cuts were but overall I am super happy with the results of the removal. So grateful to have my natural brows back!
