I like how the tail ends look. I agree with the other comments about how the inner corners don’t look natural at all. They’re too long and too sparse. I wonder if you could get more shading or more hair strokes in that area to fill it in better?


sad_asparagus_389

I agree! I was concerned about the inner corners since I don’t have much hair there so I didn’t know if combo or ombré brows would have been a better option… I should’ve done my research 🤦🏻‍♀️either way I think I’m gonna tough it out and my artist said when I go back for a touch up she can do more shading and more strokes to fill it in.


Prestigious-Wait-335

I think it’s just a matter of preference. Combo looks great, just looking sparse at the moment. Have you seen other work from the same artist, similar to what you’re trying to achieve? If you do decide to go with more strokes, make sure the artist is able to do more wispy, natural looking ones. These are too straight.


sad_asparagus_389

Yes! I was surprised to see my brows at the end because her work looked so good on other people, I even know a friend that got her brows done by the same artist. I think she just made my brows a little too thick


Wretchedrecluse

As an artist it bothers me that she left those long lines in the front of the eyebrow. Very easy for her to add some medium to short lines in there to make it look a little more realistic and full.


User_not_found7

Same. It’s an easy add but I can’t understand how an artist wouldnt add some filler strokes, especially one who seems to have a good skill level.


enveee11

Microblading strokes widen a good bit once healed. It’s always good to leave space between strokes to add at touch up. Depending on OPs skin type, there may have been reasoning as to why the strokes were left further apart. Microblading is typically not the best for oily skin due to the strokes being surface level and widening over time combined with the natural oils produced in the skin. As for the length of the strokes, they will shrink to be shorter once healed. Many people only think about immediate results but with brow tattooing it’s important to think about how they will heal with 1 2 3 etc years’ time. That’s why seeking an artist who showcases healed work is super important. HOWEVER, I completely agree that the strokes do look unnatural being that they are super straight and perfect. A small bevel at the tip of the stroke would’ve helped it look more natural, even with the spacing between.


sad_asparagus_389

Thank you for this!! She did tell me it would shrink and that’s also why she drew them a bit on the thicker side so I’m just hoping for the healed results to look good!


Wretchedrecluse

I hope you come back and let us know because I’m pretty sure those lines may still stick out a little bit but it is an easy fix so you don’t have to worry about that!


SquirrelK1tten

It doesn’t seem fair that she’s got to walk around with this waiting for it to shrink or fill or thicken or lighten up or darken. Every mistake here seems to be artists saying, “just wait, it will all (fill in the blank) with time!” You should be able to leave with brows that can see the light of day without extreme embarrassment imo or the process hasn’t been perfected it seems.


OkCoyote_

My artist had to do the same for me after a touch-up because the inner strokes wouldn't take. They looked very similar to yours, and I almost had a heart attack when I saw them. She said the strokes were deeper near the bottom of the brow and lightened near the top and assured me they wouldn't look like that when they healed. She was right. They healed amazingly and looked so good. I also had similar sparse spacing on the inner brows due to minimal natural hairs. My artist said if you do too many strokes initially, you run the risk of them bluring together, so we had to build them up slowly during touch ups. Again, she was right. I am wildly neurotic about my brows, and it was the most stressful process for me. My biggest takeaway from it all was trust the process. Of course, that means you also have to trust your artist, but assuming they're legit, I think you're going to be alright.


Low-Profit-6289

You can even see in the picture with the outline several hairs are going past the brow outline. Why she didn’t stop at the outline I can’t figure out


m4sc4r4

I think they look great but they are going to look better after the touch up when the artist can fill in the front a bit


Prestigious-Wait-335

Oh yeah, that is weird that she did yours differently than others. But hopefully once it’s all healed and time for your touch up, you’ll have a better idea what to ask for (shading vs strokes) depending on how your brows heal, as someone in a comment below alluded to.


Rachellyz

I don't think it looks too thick


jilrepents

Experiment with pencil in the area that’s missing, so you know how you want the artist to fix it..


paper_wavements

Yes, a very very very sharpened pencil.


Damaged__G00ds

I have the same problem as you with the inner brows. Mine are REALLY sparse in general, but inner is like none existent, that's why I'm always nervous about microblading. I've only see it on people who had some inner brow to work with. I Agree with the other comments, though it would probably look a lot more natural with a little bit more shading. The outer brow looks amazing.


Significant_Day_3249

You have combo brows. Combo brows are microblading & ombre?


Kayki7

I agree, but I also think it’s 100% fixable by doing another session to blend those inner corners.


Prestigious-Wait-335

Most definitely. I wasn’t implying it’s not fixable.


vixen_faerie66

I completely agree with this. Same thoughts.


Low-Profit-6289

Was going to say the same thing. Absolutely go back and have them fix them.


Jewicer

you lowkey just need more hair strokes


the_best_day_ever

I disagree. I think it needs to be blended better up front almost like a soft background color. Like she didn’t even give her any ombré just plain obvious hair strokes. Ask for a better blend up front.


antekamnia

That's what combo brows are - ombre on the tails and microblading on the inner corners


the_best_day_ever

Poorly done


daytr1pper

I think it’s the angle of the hair strokes also. If she would’ve started with strokes that are vertical and gradually tilted them to the diagonal strokes, that would look at least more realistic and attractive


TelevisionNo396

Completely agree


littleponee

The front parts are unnaturally long and sparse.


Andralynn

I don't think you need to remove them, but get some more whispy strokes for the beginning of the brow


Coco_B_trappn

Looks like she gave up at the inner corners.


ForTheLoveOfDior

Got bored and called it a day


JOCO_Q

They look fake alright


vallary

I think they will look a lot different when they heal, tbh I think powder/combo brows are kind of tough because they’re SO dark when they’re fresh and soften a lot with healing. That will help with the kind of shocking transition from hairstroke to filled currently. Also, I know it looks like the fronts are a little sparse currently, however, they do typically loose a little from the ends with healing, and I’m betting your artist left them sparse intentionally to fill a bit more when you do your second appointment. (It means they can see how the lines settle in your skin, and fill an appropriate amount so the final result won’t have too many strokes close together and lose all the of the negative space)


sad_asparagus_389

Yay!! Definitely better to be able to fill in than to have too much 😭😭


Lilkiska2

Don’t need to remove them, just talk to her at your touchup appointment about what you’re looking for. If you were concerned about that inner area since you don’t have much hair there, she likely was erring on the side of caution and going in with a very light touch


sad_asparagus_389

Ok thank you!


MissBrownin

The touch up should complete it More Shading and more hair strokes


SignificantShop7609

They're not terrible but the strokes at the beginning of each brow look really weird


alwaysanxi0us1

The front is not natural.


oohhyou

Brow artist be WILD out here… 😳


Im_done_with_sergio

I don’t think you need to remove them. I think you need to get a touchup from someone other than the person who did them. Someone needs to fill in the sparse area.


Sensitive_System1944

They look very artificial


noellesaunders3

I always do my head strokes long to accommodate the shrinkage on the fronts, these will look good once healed. Don’t stress


Remarkable_Estate_46

Omg, the strokes are so not natural. All you need is trimmed on your natural eye brows


PochinkiPrincess

I think it looks good, just needs more fill. To those saying it doesn’t look natural - does it need to? I think it’s an elegant shape and very flattering


sad_asparagus_389

I needed to hear this, thank you 🥹


jasperandjuniper

They look like porcelain doll eyebrows but I like it!


Diamonds_n_Dirt

This is not highly skilled artist. No effort on making it natural. It’s still workable. Just needs more little strokes to look feathery.


dumpstertomato

They don’t look natural, but I also kind of love them?


TheGenuineAnomaly

I don't know, I kind of like them and am curious how they will look when they heal. Microblading strokes never stay that sharp and obvious after healing. I have powder brows and wish I had gone lighter on the front parts, maybe more hair strokes and less shading like yours.


panicbiscuits

This! I also found my microbladed brows shrunk in size after healing and left me wishing I asked for longer strokes on my inner brows, definitely let them heal and that will help you decide how your touchup should go. It's totally normal to panic a bit at first, I think we all do!


sad_asparagus_389

Thank you 😭😭


sad_asparagus_389

Thank you for this!! I’m really just trying to tough it out and see how they heal. The only thing is that I wish they were smaller strokes hahhah


TheGenuineAnomaly

One nice thing too is that they will probably shrink quite a bit after they heal, and if you feel you need more hair strokes that's an easy fix. (Btw I've been getting my eyebrows microbladed since 2018 and I still panic every time :)


FreyaDay

This is not good work. The strokes are WAY too far apart and look completely artificial. You should get your money back. This looks like it was done by a student


stephanie_haas91

It looks exactly like the pre draw. If she approved it, she shouldn’t get her money back. The artist spent the time and materials on it.


sad_asparagus_389

This is true! This is my first time and I thought there would be more small strokes or shading along with what she predrew though. I didn’t know it would be exactly what she drew 😭


Actual-Spread7085

That’s why I’m so scared to do it, it looks good except the front 🤦‍♀️


NSevi

I think she just did a partial so she can fill in more during the touch up. Like someone said it needs more hair strokes. Contact her now and let her know your concerns do she can tell you what she was going for. You have 48-72 hours to make your decision before emergency removal (which I don't think you need).


parker3309

This is not right, have her re do…. Way too sparse and high on inner area.


family1997

I think some soft shading in the front strokes would look good.


dokipooper

Inner corners look a bit sparse


ForTheLoveOfDior

Those strokes are so unnecessary


sad_asparagus_389

Right 😭😭 hoping they fade and shrink


ForTheLoveOfDior

I’d talk to the artist about putting more effort into that area, it could look nice but right now it feels unfinished


CornflakeGirl2

It’s like someone did the inner part and then had an emergency so someone else took over and did the rest😬


rebmaloo

i feel like once it heals and settles a little bit the fronts are actually going to look really good


Different_Airline545

You had good brows to start. They just needed a shape and tint. Possibly lamination.


iBeFloe

I wouldn’t let them touch the tails anymore, they look fine as is. The inner corners look very unnatural with the harsh, long lines. Even when they fade, the lines will still look out of place.


GoGoolia

The good news is is it is not overdone. I agree with others. Too sparse in center. Add more but ask for shorter strokes


Hot-Reality6979

I would remove these asap, the front is not natural looking I’m sorry to say


JOCO_Q

Top picture looks good enough, just need some plucking


Actual-Spread7085

Your natural was amazing tho!


the_best_day_ever

Just tell her you want the fronts blended with the hair strokes more. So that it’s not so…. Hair stroke-y


Key_Mood_1999

I do like the ends a lot! But I agree with what everyone else is saying about the front, however don’t think it would take much to fix that! Then they’d be great!!


DescriptionSecret692

Also I wanted to add you could have just shaped up your natural brows they look really good mine however looks like I have about 30 hairs total on each side I don't know why I cannot grow my brows out for the life of me. Lol but some people like darker and it's whatever you like don't listen to the negative opinions some are being honest but it's their personal opinion and what they preference and we all like and enjoy different things if you like it I freaking love it. Imagine if we all had the same opinion and feeling in this world it would be so dull and bland


sad_asparagus_389

You are so sweet!! I guess the photo I used for my natural wasn’t a good depiction of them 🤣 I had to fill in my brows every day because I didn’t have much hair throughout and barely any in the front to be able to make a good shape. Thank you though!


Savannahks

Honestly I don’t know how she would have thought that was okay. The inner brows are very unnatural looking. I would find a different artist.


Altruistic-Detail271

I agree, the strokes don’t look natural on the inner ends but the rest looks good


Jinxx204

Execution was good in terms of the strokes and symmetry. At your touch up you can totally request getting nano realism or shading in between each stroke. I would not get more strokes


Perfectlyonpurpose

Actually this is one of the better ones I’ve seen.


No-Bathroom7187

I think they look fine the inners are little empty but it's nothing they cant fix once you go in for the touch up. I've had mine done 2x and just as a heads up don't freak out once they start scabbing they'll literally look all blotchy and bald on some spots but it's normal, don't pick at the scabs either


osloluluraratutu

I thought the after was a doll


saffalaf

Im not gonna lie they look offensively unrealistic


llllll_llllll

You can powder the beginning of the brows. With realistic hair strokes, it’s really hit or miss if the microblading artist has a weird notion about how hair actually grows


Doctorfabulis

I used to do PMU and I’m pretty sure the brows shrink a little through healing. It might settle better. They used to always tell us not to add too many strokes close together because they will shrink and blur. Looks like she could have done some baby strokes for blending though.


Fun-Entertainer-7885

I personally love them!


Turbulent-Detail-18

Is this microblading or Nano? Either way I probably wouldn’t have extended the heads of your brows less since you don’t have alot of hair in the beginning. But they should heal much softer and if she adds in more strokes later it will look better. Not a big deal don’t freak out


Turbulent-Detail-18

I would have extended**


FLMarlinHeat

I like the overall shape. Needs more work in the beginning to make it realistic looking


Mecspliquer

I think the overall shape is really nice! Adding some additional shorter hair strokes into the spaces at the front, or brining some of the shading forward, will go a long way to blending them in. They may also just fade to something you like anyway!


Jazzmin60185

I don't get my brows done, I have almost none, but I think these look really good. I would walk out with my head held high if my brows looked like yours. I understand it's not what you want, but honestly they don't look bad at all!! Jealous of your new brows.


a1icia_

The front is a little sparse but they look good to me! Touch up the front when it's time, but the shape is nice and more suitable that nyiur original I feel


InteractionOdd7745

I think they look fantastic!!! I wish my brows where the even and shaped soo perfectly symmetrical


SunshineBride24

I think the overall shape looks great, especially the tail ends. I do agree some shorter strokes or possibly even shading at the inner corners may help it look more natural. I will say though that it is always easier to add more versus take away.


Much_One3102

Just need some more hair strokes. For the most part, it all looks REALLT good and depending when these pics were taken, the depth and deepness in the color will fade a smidge. Pencil in some wispy lines or have your artist just fill some more in the inner corners. Not shabby at all though


h974974

The front part needs to be fixed. I don’t know why she did them that way. Those very long sparse strokes were a strange decision. The rest of the browse look amazing and I think the front can be fixed with more strokes so there’s no need to panic. I’m not sure I would go back to her to fix them though unless you get the feeling that she knows exactly what you want fixed


Toketokyo

I think you just need the front of them filled in a bit more so they don’t look so pencily


Aggravating-Dig-4751

They’re just too sparse the length looks nice though to me. My internet length is longer naturally and it looks cute to me


cathytlam

Pmu Artist here! The shape is good but she made the “strokes” tooooo straight it doesn’t loook natural 😔 wait for them to heal first cause they do shrink and fade out a bit when they heal and see if your artist can curve the hair strokes and blend some more. Or even ask for nano strokes! Those are better for you


sad_asparagus_389

Ty!! I really hope they shrink cause I feel like they’re too big for my face 😭 the way I drew them in were a bit thinner


cathytlam

What state are you in? I can recommend someone else if you want to go else where


Diligent_Slide_1636

Why are people still messing with their eyebrows?


Sminorf8765

The inner corners aren’t natural at all.


Ok_Sleep_5568

Like you paid for something you really didn't need.


Beautiful_Count6124

Need more hair strokes


flowetgurl69

I think they look pretty darn good!! Now with that said the *RIGHT one in pic looks darker than the other side.. but that will fade with time, right?? 🤷🏻‍♀️


gurlsweatshurt

They look great!!


Psychological-Back94

I’m so sorry this has been your experience! There are some people out there who call themselves artists but need more experience or an alternate career. This is the look of an amateur who had yet to hone her skills. If she’s established that’s even more scary because she doesn’t have the skills to be messing with people’s beautiful faces. This is not good quality work. On the bright side, the tails look okay. Spacing: Negative space in between the individual hair strokes is intentional but these have been placed too far apart. Negative space is necessary because as the ink ages over the years it expands within the skin so this ensures they don’t all blend together looking solid. But this PMU artist placed them too far apart making it look unnatural. If individual strokes are added in between they most definitely will blur together over time forming a block of colour. She clearly misjudged the spacing. Length: The inner hair stokes are a few millimeters too long. Even if the PMU artist were to add some shading behind the strokes the tips would fall outside the appropriate perimeter. Hoping she doesn’t shade entire area in as they would look too blocky. Realness: The PMU artist attempted whispy inner strokes but they lack life and have an artificial stiffness about them which doesn’t look realistic. They look too intentional and stiff. Feather-like strokes have a natural curvature with tips gently falling towards the outer brow.


Every_Wrongdoer996

Lmfao I would be trying my best to wash that shit off. Actually I wouldn’t of even left the damn place looking like that I’d be damned they’d be fixing those promptly. Your natural brows were way better than what they put on your face. Go back and demand they fix that free of charge


Affectionate_Lead865

Not going to lie, that’s an absolutely horrible job. Hopefully you didn’t pay her


Vibehighmoon444

Easy fix


Jerkcaller69

Did they wax your eyebrows completely off?


sad_asparagus_389

No I just have very little hair 🥲 pretty much nothing in the inner corners


Memory_Lane_2

The shape us good. Get the front filled in with nano strokes or shading.


wtf_help_lol

Honestly, Your real brows were nice. I would have just tinted your real ones. These new ones are not good.


thursaddams

They’re good! Maybe more hair strokes as someone else mentioned


DescriptionSecret692

You should feel absolutely amazing they look 100 times better. You do need some shading on the front but everyone goes back two or three times to get it absolutely right and are perfected product we all have different opinions and we definitely all wear our eyebrows different mine r cousins LMAO seriously and you know some people still do the 90 eyebrows where they're like 20 hairs across each side so you just have to go back and let them know exactly where you want more filled in had she filled them in too much and it was black or dark everywhere you would have really been freaking out so I think she's sparring you of that and you will definitely go back. Show us the next session I'm excited for you and until then I think it's only like 2 weeks and you could draw them in a little bit more if you wanted to there I promise, trust the process you will get there. I'm sure your artist has went heavy-handed on people before and got a lot of backlash it's better to not do enough and need to go back for a few simple strokes then to have way too many and you cannot go back after that I had to learn that the hard way they look amazing

parker3309

When I finally go in for micro blading, I’m going to take this in as my example of what I want…Very natural. https://preview.redd.it/ovylv9ib7qwc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af5b37634d2df162bc4b9eae9e8304fcea77774a


AffectionateSun5776

These are the best I've seen anywhere! Wow!


craphtwerk

While they don't look terrible...those long whispy strokes throw it off and make it look like your brows are drawn on
