Microblading For Blondes – All You Need To Know
Microblading For Blondes – All You Need To Know
Good morning, ladies! I’m super excited to talk about something different today – and that is microblading for blondes. So, if you are like me, you are probably wondering if it’s possible to wake up every morning and see your wonderful eyebrows intact, perfectly shaped, and symmetrical without having to constantly apply makeup and spend lots of dollars on different products.
And the answer is: Oh, yes!
I met up with a friend of mine back from college, whom I really missed, and she had the most perfect natural-looking redhead eyebrows. We grabbed takeaway coffee and walked, catching up, chit-chatting, and at one point, she mentioned she had her eyebrows microbladed. Until then, I thought I was bound to have to do my eyebrows every single day, but then when she explained what microblading is and how the procedure works, I was really curious!
Wouldn’t you be?
So, unlike my friend, I’m a natural blonde, and that comes with the fact that I have to wear makeup to make my thin translucent blonde eyebrows really really pop. And it’s been a problem for me because I could never really fill them to turn out perfect, you know? On several occasions, when I had professional makeup, I was OBSESSED with the way my eyebrows looked.
Microblading for blondes was something I’m totally unfamiliar with, and – I don’t know, it felt exciting! I have been so indecisive about maybe doing it, and after some time, I texted her askingβ¦
Can Blondes Get Microblading?
“Yes, silly!” – she replied.
Microblading is all the buzz now in the semi-permanent makeup world, and it’s becoming more and more trendy in NYC! Microblading for blondes like myself is a great way to just save time and money, while still having the beautiful natural eyebrow look.
I’m pretty happy with the shape of my eyebrows, but some girls would appreciate a more or less concave appearance. And this is where the right makeup artist makes all the difference!
My friend forwarded “Microblading NYC” and Shiraz’s contact, and I was so nervous before calling to schedule an appointment. After all, it is semi-permanent makeup on my face! Shiraz was friendly and professional, and she explained the whole procedure. Microblading for blondes is the same procedure as for redheads, and it somewhat resembles tattooing!
Shiraz uses a similar handheld tool that implants pigment in the desired color to shape the perfect eyebrows. And just like prior to getting a tattoo, before the appointment, I received a list of instructions to follow – no alcohol, Aspirin, that sort of thing. When the call was over, I was so happy! I did it! I will finally get microblading for blondes procedure.
How Does Microblading For Blondes Procedure Look Like?
Thursday, 4 PM. I arrived at Microblading NYC to the most friendly welcome. The saloon and work area are super clean, plus Shiraz and I immediately clicked! She took a good look at my brows and the shade of my hair, and we chatted about which color would be perfect to microblade a blonde like me. We agreed on the ideal brow shape for my face, and she didn’t waste any time and got to work.
Let’s see how this goes!
Shiraz drew lines and reference points to make sure everything was nice and even and just at the right angle. I really appreciated how detail-oriented she is. Once everything was perfectly aligned, the magic of blonde microblading started! Don’t worry, ladies – I expected the procedure to sting a bit, but it felt like some sort of uncomfortable pinprick sensation. Definitely not enjoyable; and with the numbing cream itβs not that scary at all! We talked about how most girls have problems with eyebrow thinning, and how microblading helped them gain confidence and made them feel beautiful and less anxious about their appearance.
Even after doing the first round of brush strokes, my brows looked AMAZING and I was so excited to see the end result! The procedure took some time, maybe two – two and a half hours, and the finished product is: OMG! The subtle sun-kissed shade of my microbladed blonde eyebrows was picture-perfect, just like I wanted! Shiraz nailed it and I love them!
The color of my eyebrows was darker, but it faded as they healed. And speaking of healing, she explained to me that over the next week I shouldn’t go to the gym or sweat in any other way or get them wet. They will also be flaky and scabby during the process, but other than that – I’ll be good to go!
Microblading for blondes can definitely help any girl with making their eyebrows noticeable. If they are super light or thinning, or if you just don’t like the shape – microblading can help!
If you are in the Brooklyn, or NYC area, I highly highly recommend going to Shiraz to get your eyebrows microbladed. I can’t thank my friend enough for introducing me to her. I owe her a coffee! π
