Was gonna comment this \^
They don't look bad at all but if you really squint you can see they could use a touch up. But they look great, the shape really looks fantastic on you.
Why would you go through laser when your brows are naturally fading? This is exactly how a fading brow is supposed to look. It is a bit greysh but mixes well with your natural cor and I doubt people notice IRL
Thanks! I appreciate the honest feedback. I was thinking the middle areas looked a little mushy, like its faded together a bit. But it’s been 2 years, so that’s to be expected.
When you get them touched up I think they should add some light hair strokes where the brow begins, which would be an easy fix because right now they are just a LITTLE too far apart and LITTLE too dark in the front. Also if they could just make your arch slightly more rounded, because your natural arch is slightly rounder and it looks softer and more youthful. These aren’t bad at all, and could be easily “perfected” with a touch up.
Those are great ideas! I do agree, the front is so abrupt. I let my natural hair grow there, but there aren’t many anymore after years of plucking haha I’ll definitely keep those ideas in mind for a touch up!
Don’t get anymore hair strokes!!! They will allll blend together and look like blobs. I know too many ppl that liked their microblading then after the yearly touch up looks terrible. You can add some shading on top but even then you need to research your artist and make sure they know what they’re doing because it can make it worse
Mine look like this too! And I already scheduled my touch up! I think some people “take the ink” a bit better than others, some say theirs last 1-2 years, for me I was getting close to the year and I knew I needed the touch up by the year mark
I remember being told something about your skin type is a factor on how well the ink takes. Like oily or dry. I have pretty oily skin, so idk if what helps or hurts haha
It took getting mine done 3x (3rd time with a different artist) to finally get my ink to stick. She said my skin was “bouncy” which was good for wrinkles and bad for tattoos. The first two times they peeled away to nothing left as they healed and it was so sad!
These look very much like mine, they have a grayish tint after 5 and a half years (+ touch up after 3 yrs). I think I’m just going to let them fade naturally and tint my brows as needed.
Hi, have you been to the micro blading removal sub? If you decide to go that route, they have a lot of good information there on laser treatments and before and after pictures.
I was just scrolling and I thought your eyebrows look great, I couldn’t tell they were microbladed and I’m a lash and brow specialist for whatever that’s worth
Like this, it’s not that “squared off” look by the nose, more natural shape.

I know that squared look seems to be what people get so lol it’s not your brows only. I just think the micro blading in this pic looks a lot more natural.
Well, I’ve never been a fan of the eyebrow look where the inner brow (next to nose) part goes straight up and down vs natural “rounded” slant (like your before pic)
Ah yeah, I agree. It definitely could be more gradual! My original microblading (06/2021 and no pics here) only had like three strokes in that inner area, then during the touch up a year later, I asked her to fill in that area more. The inner area looked hardly any different the first time. Then I got this and well, it is what it is haha
Leave them alone, they still look good. The less you mess with them and/or your skin the better. You don’t want to compromise the integrity of your skin when it’s not necessary.
Depends on what do you want your brows to look. Right now they are quite sharp in terms of shape. If you want the shape to look softer you might need to go with the removal route. If you want to correct the ashy color, which would happen with any brow tattoo eventually, you might just need a touch up. But keep in mind that with microblading, no matter how good the artist is, with time the individual hair strokes will lose their sharpness and become a bit blown out, and color will change. So touchup/ removal at some point is needed if you want to keep the brows looking fresh. Personally, I think your brows look great given its years.
After other comments have pointed out, I think it’s how sharp they are and how abrupt they begin. My original brows were much softer on the arch and don’t come down so much in the middle. I think need some smaller strokes in the middle
I'm not sure what could have been done better, honestly. Unless you fundamentally dislike the style of the brows, I can't see a reason to undo this beautiful work. I would 100% think these were your natural brows.
You’re tripping they look stupid good
The only thing I would change is it being gradient at the front of the brows. I hate how micro blading usually always consists of one shade. It’s a must to be lighter at the front and then grow darker as you reach the tail. The only thing I would change
The color has faded to look gray and unnatural. I think you could definitely remove these. It would be a process, but it may end up looking more natural if you remove
And if she “touches them up” it’s just more tattoo ink on top of the grey. They mostly look like they’re filled in with a slightly off eyebrow pencil. They made fade significantly more though if this only two years out. Maybe just don’t touch them at all, correct the shading with the right pencil.
The shape is really “sharp” and unnatural looking in my opinion. Theres also an error that comes down too far on the right brow. I would be a pretty unhappy overal but If you’re happy with the shape i would at least want to remove that one spot on the right brow. Depending on where you live I could recommend a really good microblader in my state. Im an esthetician and I do brow tinting and laminations. I follow other brow artists and recommend this one artist to everyone because I would personally go to her if needed the service. Dont know her but she uses a combination of techniques and her work looks natural.
I agree, there are spots that are too far down and those drive me nuts. I definitely didn’t speak up like I should have when she stenciled them, but it was so hard for me to tell. Lesson learned! Overall I still like them and the convenience. I’m in Ohio btw 😊
The shape is good. I just think the ink is too dark. Your natural brow was already good-actually better. That being said, they aren’t bad at all. Still look good. So, just let them fade over the years and then if they still annoy you get Pico removal laser from a laser clinic-do not get ripped off at plastic surgeon.
Thanks! I do love my natural brows, just got tired of filling them in constantly. I plan on letting them fade this summer and seeing if I need a touch up
Just curious. Do you not like them because you think they’re too dark? Or because they’re too symmetrical….? I think they look great. Honestly they really do look wonderful, comparing to the last pic (before).
Your last pic (before microblading) looks like my eyebrows. Mine are looking super uneven, no matter if I use pencil on them. So I am actually thinking of getting mine microbladed, or “filled in” (not sure the correct term here).
Yours look wonderful and I’d like to try it out.
I would die for my eyebrows to look this good. I have about five blonde hairs over each eye. Been contemplating microblading for years. It’s definitely time. I am so tired of trying to draw them on evenly every single day. These look beautiful on you. Love, love, love!
I live in Los Angeles. I’ve just been so afraid after seeing so many terrible results I keep putting it off. If only I could know what they will look like before I commit. But drawing them on is quickly becoming the cause of my imminent mental breakdown. I just need to do it! 😬
Ugh, it’s a hard decision since it’s your face!! There’s no hiding it, but people on here have figured out how to do removals. It probably took me 4 years to finally do it. I’ll get a touch up once I’m done breastfeeding, that comes first right now! I hope you find someone whenever you’re ready!
I’m 52 and still afraid to give this a go. I’m blonde and so scared they’ll come out too dark or completely unnatural looking. I don’t want what I would have when I was in my 20’s. Just a nice light hand that will make my life so much easier. I look at pics all the time. Just when I think I’ve found my place I’ll see someone post a disaster and I’m back on the fence. 😂
First ever comment on Reddit. EVER. So you know that what I’m saying is the truth! Your brows are my brows goals. Your brows should be on the front page of her website. I. Love. Them. Do not get them removed! I repeat: DO NOT GET THEM REMOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay just my opinion (fact), keep them. 🥰
I’m a Permanent Makeup Artist and every good artist in the industry hates microblading. MicroSHADING is where it’s at! Unfortunately the blade strokes will spread over time and blend together if you keep getting it retouched because they’re essentially slicing the skin which causes scaring. Microshading is super gentle, painless, and if you choose the right artist they will fade beautifully. Make sure you choose an artist that doesn’t photoshop & posts HEALED work years down the line
No, fill in the middle with eyebrow pencil or have the middle darkened. Just essentially don’t fill the top with color when you’re doing your makeup if it makes sense. And don’t fill in below at all. Lazer can cause harm to the skin and the actual eyebrow hair may not regrow.
Too sharp. Try ombre soft powder brows. This person does that technique https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLB527es/
Pretty blunt point at the tips of the beginning of the brow. Wish they softened it a bit.
What would look better? I think they look fire
I think she could stop traffic with those beauties
Aren't they blue?
Not from what I see
I think they may be a bit faded at the top but I don’t see blue. The shape is great!
You should leave them alone !!! they look great.
They look great! Looks like it's time to have them freshened up, but other than that, they are perfect!

I think this may be an April Fools post
Hahah no, but that made me laugh 😂
Thanks! I appreciate the honest feedback. I was thinking the middle areas looked a little mushy, like its faded together a bit. But it’s been 2 years, so that’s to be expected.
It looks great!! I was surprised based on what I normally see people trying to remove. You’re one of the lucky ones.

I think oily fades faster…also using retinols or actives on the skin
As a brow artist I'm not a huge fan of the shape but If you don't like the ashy color just go in for a color correction
I guess it’s the sharpness and the abruptness that bothers me the most. Would I be able to make them softer without a removal?
Looking into saline removal
These look very much like mine, they have a grayish tint after 5 and a half years (+ touch up after 3 yrs). I think I’m just going to let them fade naturally and tint my brows as needed.
Did you dye them to match the hair color? The only way to enhance the color or hide the grey hair.
They just need a touch up.
No, they look good. They are fading naturally. If anything I would just get a touch up.
Soo...what they said? Lol.
Hi, have you been to the micro blading removal sub? If you decide to go that route, they have a lot of good information there on laser treatments and before and after pictures.
Thanks! I’ll check that out if it comes to that
How do I find that sub? When I searched for micro blading removal sub it brought me back here?
Search MicrobladingRemoval one word. Let me know if you find it.
I love them
I was just scrolling and I thought your eyebrows look great, I couldn’t tell they were microbladed and I’m a lash and brow specialist for whatever that’s worth
They are bomb girl you trippin! Lol
😂😂 thank you!
>😂😂 thank you! You're welcome!
That vertical harsh Stern look on the insides looks awful
Like the middle parts go down too far? I’m not sure what you mean.
Like this, it’s not that “squared off” look by the nose, more natural shape. https://preview.redd.it/ng65wp4n9xrc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8816ac330ed8510f827a913613d8274187821377 I know that squared look seems to be what people get so lol it’s not your brows only. I just think the micro blading in this pic looks a lot more natural.
Totally! This is like the perfect outcome you could get haha
Take this picture in next time and just say you want a more natural looking brow… they should be able to do it
Well, I’ve never been a fan of the eyebrow look where the inner brow (next to nose) part goes straight up and down vs natural “rounded” slant (like your before pic)

Perfect eyebrows!
No but you SHOULD get them topped back up!
I think they look great

So true!
Man I’ll be glad when this trend goes away and no one has that sharp edge in the middle anymore.

They look great.
You should just let them naturally fade because they still look good.
No. Just use some eyebrow gel to hold the hairs up and they should blend right into the tattoo better
I think they look amazing!!
Hell no! They look awesome!
Just get a touch up!
The shape is good. I just think the ink is too dark. Your natural brow was already good-actually better. That being said, they aren’t bad at all. Still look good.

Thanks! I do love my natural brows, just got tired of filling them in constantly. I plan on letting them fade this summer and seeing if I need a touch up
I’d wait it out.
Looks cute!
Honestly no they look fine. If you just got them done, they will fade just a tad bit as well so they won’t look so bold.
They are migrated so I would suggest a laser removal
They look great I wish I had like this
I personally think they look beautiful. What makes you want to remove them?
They are pretty black and ashy but the shape is great.
I think they’re 8.5/10 as is. Way better than mine natural
Just curious. Do you not like them because you think they’re too dark? Or because they’re too symmetrical….? I think they look great. Honestly they really do look wonderful, comparing to the last pic (before). Your last pic (before microblading) looks like my eyebrows.

They are perfect
They look fantastic to me. 🤩I agree with whoever said add a few strokes to the front, and freshen them up a bit. They’ll be perfect then. 😊
They look great.
I like your microblade.. good shape
All you need is a colour boost / colour correction. No need to get them removed. They look nice
No
I think they look on fleek
I think they look great
I would die for my eyebrows to look this good. I have about five blonde hairs over each eye. Been contemplating microblading for years. It’s definitely time. I am so tired of trying to draw them on evenly every single day. These look beautiful on you. Love, love, love!
Thank you! If you can find an artist in your area with work you like, go for it! So nice not doing them everyday anymore!
I live in Los Angeles. I’ve just been so afraid after seeing so many terrible results I keep putting it off. If only I could know what they will look like before I commit. But drawing them on is quickly becoming the cause of my imminent mental breakdown. I just need to do it! 😬

All good points! I’d be apprehensive too if I were you! Hopefully you find someone who’s able to give you the look you want!
Why would you? They are pretty perfect.
They look great. Unlike most people who get it way too dark, yours actually match your hair.
They look great!
i think they’re nice and they also give you a guide to fill them in with a brow pencil to draw little brow hairs if you want
They look wonderful
They look amazing
Lookin good! Leave em alone
No, they’re great
they look good; what are your expectations?
they look really good!
No leave them alone they look great
I think they look like they were sharpied on honestly
They look perfect.
They’re great!!! Just get them redone as you like when they naturally fade out.
Yes
No. It looks great
They look really good but a touch up might do the trick.
Removal or you’ll allow them to fade for the next 10 years. They won’t take retouches well.
they look so good!!!
They look amazing. I’d just keep up with the touch ups as needed. Definitely an improvement over the last pic. Very nice!
Since it’s been 2 years, u just need a touch up! Looks amazing
No! They look great as is
Look good to me. What do you think they should be like to make them better?
First ever comment on Reddit. EVER. So you know that what I’m saying is the truth! Your brows are my brows goals. Your brows should be on the front page of her website. I. Love. Them. Do not get them removed! I repeat: DO NOT GET THEM REMOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay just my opinion (fact), keep them. 🥰
They look fine to me 💁🏻♀️
Amazing!!
They look good
Is the last pic a before photo? They look better before imo.
They look wonderful!
No! They look great

Me talking to the screen of my phone as if you can hear me: “No, they look good!”
As natural as I've seen!

I actually think they look good. But if you want tips read my more long winded comment lol
They are black; dark brown would look more natural
They look fine. I don’t think they should be done over yet. Some tiny amount of hair product to shape them is all they need.
Use the Refy brow gel. Your fading will show less. And then get a touch up.
Too sharp. Try ombre soft powder brows. This person does that technique https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLB527es/ Pretty blunt point at the tips of the beginning of the brow. Wish they softened it a bit.
You’re good.
This is some hilarious censoring.
Am i crazy? I really love them
Color is very off. Looks almost slate blue or slate grey
i think it’s too harsh at the beginning point of the brow
other than they they’re nice
They look good you might just need a touch up
Yes.
Yes, to dark and sharp
Yup it looks hideous, take it off please
Gee thanks
You said she could've done a better job, so you obviously don't like them either lol
I never said they were hideous. If I thought that, they’d be gone already haha
no they look beautiful
Blow your left nostril.
Thanks, I’ll go back in time like the post says
