I Tried Eyebrow Microblading | Beauty With Mi | Refinery29

Refinery29's beauty writer Mi-Anne Chan has a major fear of needles but also a total need for some fuller eyebrows. As a person that fills in her eyebrows on the regular, microblading seems like the natural solution to Mi-Anne's dilemma.

To help her get over her fear, Mi-Anne invites Refinery29's fashion marketing editor Alyssa Coscarelli to join her as she faces her fears for fuller eyebrows.

Micro blading seems so much better to me than getting eyebrows tattooed. Eyebrow style trends change so it's nice having something only semi permanent.

mi anne just gets a bunch of free stuff with this series lmao

I did mine 2 years ago and I never had to retouch it or anything! Best thing I've ever done! I never really had eyebrows and now I feel pretty everyday without worrying about my eyebrows. Great investment and it looks super natural ☺️

[therealmissglamBAM]

Alyssa's looked soooo good. So cool to see how she matches the inks on the forehead. I watched the up close video on this and she didn't use numbing cream and it looked so painful so I'm glad other people do use it

I’ve always seriously thought about micro blading my eyebrows. I have naturally blonde/transparent looking eyebrows and dark brunette hair so I’ve always looked like i have no eyebrows. I fill mine in with gel eveeerrrryyydayy and Lordy is it annoying! After seeing this I’m not as nervous to maybe try it

[kateyoung]

[KARIACTY]

I love the techinique the microblading, is the solución for the practical makeup.

[TheJamieharris]

Refinery29 I can't wait to get them done here in my hometown of Chicago! Do you (or anyone) know of any microblading experts here in Chicago? Thanks in advance!

Update: I found a great technician in Chicago and I LOVE my microbladed brows!

[Addleysmom]

Goodness $400 is a meager amt to spend on any Beauty cosmetic treatment esp one that makes such a huge difference as the micro blading. When my times comes bat my brows are sparse it is something I will happily do! I pay $400 for lash extensions that fall off but they make such a huge difference. And Botox lasts but a few months for $500 per area so the value of the brow price is actually excellent !

[jenniferseagraves]

If I had the money I would definitely go for
Both of y'all eyebrows look

[Snakesnarl]

Got mine done two years ago. And have had them touched up twice. I still fill them in every day though because they’re not dark enough or perfectly shaped enough for my personal tastes

[rebecacasso]

I had a really bad experience, it was very painful, the numbing cream didn’t work and the color was not accurate. Would do it again with the right artist.

[cynthialimon]

I am seriously thinking of getting my eyebrows microbladed! I have small brows and spots where I have no hair, so I have to do my eyebrows every single day and it's what takes most of my time while doing my make-up. But if you look at it closely, doesn't it look weird?

[sabinahertzum]

Totally YES!!! I started years ago - with shadowbrows ( where the fill in the entire brow - I also got a fine eyeliner and lips done that day - since then I have gotten my brows micro bladed twice but I'm totally up for another go sooon....
The problem I had was that my natural brows were VERY uneven, and my technician had to slightly lift the tail of one of my brows up over my natural brow to get them to look like sisters - not mother and daughter ;)
But it's really ok... I'm naturally VERY blonde so I have been tinting my brows and lashes for over 20 years, so getting them micro bladed helped a lot, but I really can't totally skip tinting... just push the timing a little...

[rubyn]

I definitely need mines done I got my eyebrows tattooed a while back but now the color has gone away and since I get my eyebrows waxed I barely have any. I need this ASAP

[natalieweems]

I totally would live you get my brows done. They are over teased and thinning!
Do you know anyone in the South Jersey area that does amazing work?

[dangelageason]

i definitely need this i have very thin eyebrows short eyelashes and barley any bottom lash😭😭😭😭😩
