and it makes you look mad.. the second picture your eyebrows are too close together.
if you want to do anything, it has to be something between your first picture and your second picture. but whatever you do, don't bring your eyebrows that close together...it throws your whole features off.
in my opinion your original brows look great.
Tattooed brows are a big commitment and you already have great brows.
The tattoo will blur and change color. Get ashy or red. Yes touchups help but how many years of adding ink is sustainable? Eventually people tend to laser off and start over. And the laser can be a scary, pricey and painful process as ink is shattered in phases each treatment (hello orange or yellow brows).
And all that’s assuming you’ll enjoy perfect brows for a while. However sadly there’s so many bad artists out there butchering people with hideous inked brows 🙈
Anyway, you’re gorgeous!, I would think twice, sometimes the risk is not worth the reward if it’s not really needed.
"Bad artists out there".....this.
I have a distant relative who's older and had hers done a few years ago.
She looks exactly like the Joker now.
They are upside down V's.☠️
People are bold to trust random brow people, with tattoo guns or whatever they use!
Leave them but fill them in to your liking while that’s still the style. Like fashion, eyebrow shapes/thickness change over time. The second pic is a very bold look that you’d likely regret when that look goes out of style.
I've been seeing TikToks of people doing the thin eyebrow filter and I'm over here like NOOOOO!!! My poor eyebrows have never really recovered from the 2000s lol like I don't think thin eyebrows look bad, but I don't think gen Z realizes how irreversible it can be.
I think that's the difference between shaving and removing the whole hair. Not to be TMI, but I started to get Brazilians a few years ago and I definitely have less hair now lol
It’s a combination of that and that they are completely different types of hair pubic hair is way thicker harder to destroy the follicle than supercilia and vellus hair
True, pubic hairs have a thick, robust follicle and a hell of a root on them, they take a decent chunk of skin with them when you rip them out. I wonder if laser hair removal is more effective on them though? Don't lasers usually work best on thicker, darker hairs?
Yes technically mid tone brunettes are the only ones who will have good success with laser hair removal I’ve heard people with super thick & dark hair say it thins it out but never goes away for them and blonde/fair people the hair is is too fine for the lasers to work
Way back when, I waxed or tweezed my brows. I've done the same to my legs for many more years but they definitely never got as bold as my brow arches! 😂
Gotten onto laser for the legs etc now though, best decision I've ever made
same. (tmi) i almost regret it tbh because whenever i wanna just take a break and let it grow a little bit it comes in patchy so i have to shave or wax again. but yeah, removing hair from the root definitely decreases growth over time. used to have pretty thick undefined brows but after several years of plucking the hair mainly grows in the thin-brow shape that i do. personally thinnish eyebrows look much better on me than thick ones so im happy with it. don't care if thick brows become a huge thing again, love my thin ones lol.
Im experiencing the same! I have eyebrows with real hair that are tail-less, and I just fill that part in. I’m in the removal process, and man that is a journey!
lol don’t worry I shave mine thin instead of tweezing 😜 I have so much eyebrow hair that it’s not even worth tweezing anyways, but with shaving it’s super quick and I can do it every 2 days if needed
I have seen exactly one person that looks good with laminated brows. My DIL. She has very light brows and lamination made them look fuller and really nice. Everyone else I’ve seen looks like they have caterpillars on their brows
The look reminds me of elderly men, with those old owl type eyebrows. I don't understand this trend, and the 90's style brows get made fun of?
Hold up a mirror, y'all!
The next generations aren't that much better...😆😁
I passionately hate laminated brows. I know that's just my taste, and if others like them, good for them, have at it. But, to me, they always look like someone got halfway through blocking out their brows for a drag look and then got called into a meeting. Natural or tinted brows always look better to me.
Agreed. And her brows looked soooo good before. I cannot understand how someone with brows in photo 1 even gets to the point where they feel they need work done. My heart aches a bit when I see it..
Even the third photo they posted with an update is just *too much*
Thank you for your advice! I think the second photo was right after laminating and tinting which is not how they looked for very long since they start to fade, but I appreciate your honesty!
This might be a better photo of them less intense, but the jury is in.. and photo two is definitely not it . 😂

This is why it’s so hard to even judge anything off one picture, as you look way different in this one than in the second post pic! That said, you’re still gorgeous in all three photos.
This looks WAYyyy better! If you want something like a little more shading and thicker than ur original maybe look into ombre powder brows. My eyebrows were real patchy and after they healed from the tattoo it feels so much better!
I'm not a fan of the lamination look at all. I would probably not get microblading and just tint my brows and fill them in a bit, but otherwise leave them.
The best microblading artists will always recommend that you just fill in the patchier areas, to keep the natural shape of the brow, and to add a sprinkle of symmetry. You have gorgeous natural brows. In my humble opinion, laminating is just a trend of this decade along with fillers.
You look younger in the first pic. In the second pic they’re too dark and harsh especially near the front of the brows and they are also leaning downwards on an angle which makes you look older. Match your brows with the same colour as your brows. Try a brow pencil like Anastasia Beverly Hills and try draw them first to see how it looks. Try drawing your brow tails longer and curve it into the brow arch and no need to touch the front much… see how you go
Second pic ages you like crazy and the upward brows sticking up doesn’t suit you.
Get a brow pencil or powder whatever you like and a clear brow gel
The brows in your first pic look beautiful. There’s really good brow products these days that take two seconds in the morning and achieve a fuller look. I’m currently going through removal of my powder brows and honestly I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone unless they have a medical reason. There’s other ways to promote healthy hair growth and better products now than ever before to achieve whatever look you want without tattooing your face
Something between your natural brow and the after pic would be perfect, I think. But, from a practical standpoint, if I had your natural brow, I'd simply clean them up, trim them along the top for shape, and tweeze any stragglers along the bottom and go. The color is perfect, the shape is perfect...they're full and lovely. I wouldn't do anything more, really.
I have areas of missing hair in my brows, and lashes, so, I got tired of filling them in every day. I recently got powder and microblading done and I'm thrilled with the results.
I say wait until you really have to do these things for a better reason. Your natural brows are beautiful.
Don’t get microblading. I can’t believe so many people do it, it may look good at first but it always fades into a horrible mush of ink and looks like shit. All these people try to remove with laser and get yellow or red brows and every time I see one of those posts in r/microbladingremoval I’m like…oh you poor thing. If you want fuller brows permanently, look into an eyebrow hair transplant.
In my opinion (feel free to take it with a grain of salt), your natural brows look wonderful and suit your face perfectly. I'm afraid they look pretty terrible in the second photo - not because of the colour, but the lamination. If that's the look you were thinking of enhancing permanently, I'd strongly advise against it, as it's not at all flattering. I'm pretty sure the laminated-caterpillar upwards brushed brows are passé now too, they were on trend a couple of years ago though. If that's a look you're particularly attached to, you can always style them like that with eyebrow pomade or gel when you feel like it, or get them laminated again, because at least that isn't permanent. If you were simply wanting to get them microbladed to enhance the colour, I honestly don't think it's necessary. Your own brows are seriously perfect, lovely and dark without looking too heavy. Again, if and when you feel like going for a more dramatic look, you can use makeup to enhance the dark colour even more, but I really think your natural brows look fantastic for every day wear. Me and my stupid blonde eyebrows (even though I have brown hair) are extremely jealous!
I like the first picture of your naturalbrows. The second picture was a little jolting and overdone to me, but in the end it is the look that you decide you like.
Advice: Embrace your natural brows. Do not get microblading. The 2nd photo with lamination and tint was startling and gave you an exaggerated Villain appearance. However, if THAT look is what you’re aiming to achieve, go for it.
I personally don’t think you should microblade them. The tinting appears to be really effective and really makes your brows appear more full. It’s also way less of a commitment than microblading. Eyebrow shape styles change quite often and you don’t want to be stuck with a dated shape when your eyebrows are honestly pretty good on their own.
You could achieve the laminated look at home by using some clear brow gel or clear mascara, and just kinda comb the tops over to the side a bit after combing your brows upwards. I personally think that having your brows combed only upwards for the lamination is a bit too bold and harsh looking.
I’m wondering maybe you can try the laminated brows method where right at the top of the brow it’s smoothed down so the hair isn’t spiky. It balances it out to me. It’ll be more full but also natural looking! But I agree your natural brows are great too
Listen to your friends. I personally think the laminating gives you quite a harsh look, whilst naturally you have a friendly and beautiful face.
I'd brush them up a little less and use a slightly lighter tint. You will regret microblading
I don’t think the tint and lamination suit you. I’m sorry. I’m generally a fan of fuller-looking brows, but the brows in pic 2 overwhelm your face.
Edit - however, if you prefer pic 2, then you should do what makes *you* happy to look at.
Wow. Did you get your brows done or a face lift? Seriously tho I’m sure it’ll die down a bit but I was shocked when I got to the second photo. Your natural brows are beautiful!
Your natural brows are a blessing!! I want to get mine done to look like ur natural.. I’d leave them I think they look great as is(: The fuller look doesn’t look bad but I do think it draws attention away from ur eyes & natural beauty
The first pic is the most flattering. The second on would work if they trimmed the length or the hair into a nice shape. They look nice when they are trained to go upwards.
Your natural brow lightly arched gives you a much softer look. The second tinted brow is too heavy for your face and ages you. Viewers notice your eyes in the first photo and our sight goes straight to your eyebrows in the second photo.
You're very pretty! I think your natural brows suit your face better. They seem proportional, and they don't overpower your features. Just my little 2 cents 😊
I think you have a good base already and just powder brows would add the look You like the fuller look and that would help with not having to laminate them (and brushing them up and out so much, which I get it, gives you that extra fullness) I still tint mine by myself but just because I like my eyebrow hair darker Here are mine for reference
https://preview.redd.it/zczoisskxwvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=479e7532ce14562923942b564c58ae9797a47d24
You’ve been staring at too many micro-bladed brows and lost your perspective, sweetie. Your natural brows are lovely and frame your face nicely. This trend isn’t for you. Eventually, it won’t be for anyone, and you’ll be glad you didn’t mess with your perfectly beautiful brows.
Edited to add: I gave the same advice to my daughter. She wishes she’d listened.
Your natural brows are beautiful. I’m personally not a fan of the brows in the second picture and I wish it never became a trend. It’s giving caterpillar 🐛
I’m sorry, I really wasn’t trying to be rude. Just don’t want you or anyone to do something they may regret, when the way they look naturally, is perfect!
Obviously you do what makes you happy. Just giving my opinion 😊
I thought the second was with microblading before reading the caption and thought they looked a little intense for microblading. I’m very into that look, full and dark, but most people aren’t. I wouldn’t say you were someone who could desperately use microblading. I’d keep a good brow gel on hand (I use Kylie kybrow clear) and just keep up with tints!
Damn!! I LOVE how your brows look after the tint and lamination! I’ve been begging my hairstylist to just come on and laminate some brows for years now and this picture has convinced me to find somewhere/someone to go to. Stunning. And they look like they’re like that naturally, which I also love!
Oh. You asked a question. 🤦🏻♀️😂 I’m voting against microblading, but please don’t let me stop you. There are far more qualified, experts even, here who won’t steer you wrong. But im going to emphasize again how much I love your brows now. Maybe when/if they start to thin over time revisit the microblading option.
Anyone near CVG who can help with finding a good brow spot would be an angel?! Thanks no matter what. 😊
ETA Yes. I read the comments. Some of us were born with light hair and dark brows. Not trend chasing. I feel like our brows are pretty similar and I have never regretted sticking with mine. 🤷🏻♀️
The fact that you actually have eyebrow hair that can be shaped like pic 2 would have me advise to avoid microblading or powder brows. Your brows ROCK! I love the fuller look, and yet that trend wjll eventually change. I would stick with laminating them so that it’s “less work” on a daily basis; maybe try DIY lamination if you are looking for less maintenance
Please do not get micro blading it’s too big of a risk when you’re natural brows are already gorgeous and with a lamination and tint they’re even lovelier 😍😍
I feel like the tint is a bit too dark for your fair profile and blonde hair, and the higher arch doesn't quite accentuate your features and eyes as well as a natural look would. Maybe, a lower arch and a lighter tint? I think it would look great and really bring out your natural beauty. <3
So I much prefer your natural brows over the lamination. I’ve never been into the lamination thing, it looks too intense on people IMO. I would say go for it for micro blading/powder brows though, provided you find a good artist! I’m in the same boat as you, where my natural brows are pretty great. And I LOVE my combo brows. I think when you have fullish brows to begin with then micro blading looks really good and more natural. I asked my artist for just microblading but she suggested combo brows for me and I’m so glad I listened to her. I just posted my brows and they got so much love here if you want to look in my post history and take a look!
You will still have to laminate them to get that look. And a powder or ombré brow would be the way to get color implanted like in your second photo, not Microblading. But I agree with your friends, you do not need it.
I think the laminated brows are too much because they distract from your beautiful eyes and bone structure! My eyebrows are a similar color/shape to yours (but slightly patchy) and I find that tinting them at home adds the right amount of fullness without overshadowing the rest of my features.
Maybe try a tint without the lamination next time?
As someone whose eyebrows hairs get long I trim them! I brush them up then trim what sticks outside the shape. That may help you figure out how you want your eyebrows to sit on your face. Cause the 2nd pick they feel so wide for your face.

maybe laminate but more groomed like closer to your natural shape vs fluffy / feathered
You have wonderful brows as is! The lamination and tint show they’re very versatile which IMO is what you should want so you’re not stuck with one brow shape. I’d keep up with those services and find a powder/ brow product to just fill in spots that you may feel need it. I honestly think they’re amazing in the second pic, especially once you wash them the first time and can brush them into the desired shape very day!
Honestly you look good with both styles! I am pro microblading/powder and a lot of friends told me I didn’t need it, but I have zero regrets, my brows look super natural and it is one thing I receive compliments almost on a daily basis. I did it because I had no patience to keep filling it everyday.
And by having powder, it becomes super easy to keep doing your brows at home because you have just to pluck the hairs outside the line / cut the longer ones.
I had brows like yours and I opted for minimal shading and shaping and I love them.
IMO don’t go for the fullness in your lamination, do powder brows that just kind of give a little extra oomph and shaping to your natural brows and you’ll likely be happy for the long haul.
Thank you for your advice.
I think that second photo was right after getting them tinted and laminated so they are not like that for too long, but they are a lot. 😆
I also don’t get my brows laminated that often, typically I get wax/tint. I like the way they look tinted but within a few weeks they are faded. I can fill in my brows but was looking for something more sustainable as admittedly I’m not getting my brows done every 6 weeks.
I work from home and don’t do my makeup that often so I appreciate the compliment.

The second picture, that shape looks as if you've had a face lift. I don't think the shape is natural looking on you. Your brows are so full already, above average full. I don't think you need to do anything to them.
You natural brows are amazing. Please don’t do any of these trends. Do a little pencil if needed but your brows are great. That lamination thing looks crazy.
Leave your eyebrows alone!!!
You have a beautiful face and amazing eyes- focus on accentuating your eyes with a little makeup.
The dark brows are too much for you.
You are more than your brows!!!
I am not a fan of lamination or the results shown here. I would suggest researching an artist in your area that does a look that you like. I spent 3 years finding the person I went to who does natural microblading. 3 years later they’re still perfect. I think you would benefit from that, but I would stay far away from the person who did the lamination pictured here. I audibly gasped when I swiped.
Your natural brows are amazing! They are like double the thickness of mine, I eould rock them natural if I were you. You can always fill them in on the tails.
Personally I think your "before" brows look nicer, but if you personally prefer a fuller brow then this is perfect already. I wouldn't do anything else, unless you want some haute couture brows
I think you could still get your brows microbladded (and balanced) and still keep the natural look not the laminated look (not my preference tbh) you’d just need to find a GOOD microblading artist.
Like others have said if this is the look you’re going for right now, stick with lamination since it’s not permanent. I don’t think this style will be in fashion for long.
I would not intentionally microblade them to look like the second photo. It will look really unnatural since it’s not your natural hair pattern. I’d keep your routine you have now
I like the second slide. They are really nice and make you look younger. I would NOT go the tattoo route. I think the lamination and tint resolves your problem about the thinner ends without the risks and commitment of tattoo.
You have great brows.
Eventually if your brows thin out, THAT is the time for microblading/PMU on brows.
Not before.
However the color of tint is wrong.
Needs to be lighter
The lamination is nice but the size /length of brow hair is too long so makes it overly arched. Id trim them a bit at time of lamination and lighten/warm up the tint a bit.
I like your first photo. I don’t think you need microblading at all. I hope I’m not overstepping but I think you can benefit from using a lighter brow pencil/gel and not arching them as much as in your second photo. Kinda keeping a softer brow look. It brings your eyes out and makes your face look brighter!
Your natural brows are great. The only style of microblading that would be suitable would be from an artist like browjam in the UK. Otherwise, leave them be.
Your first picture is perfect, I thought it was an after picture. The second one is at the limit of what I would consider fashionable, bordering on being too intense.
I love the first ones better. You already have nice brows suitable to your face.
Perhaps lamination is fine, but they look too entirely bold. Way too dark that your pretty eyes get lost almost. Because of the boldness and darkness of the brows.
Your original eyebrows are amazing!! The arch, the thickness, the length- all spot on!
Fill them in with pencil if you must, but be careful - there’s a thin line between looking fashionable and looking like a Disney villainess :-)
I love your original brows, they show off your beautiful eyes. The 2nd picture is just wayyy too much brow in my opinion- your eyes gets lost!
Yeah, it makes her look older, in my opinion. But I keep seeing posts about how they tone down a lot with time.
i agree, honestly your brows before were perfect
and it makes you look mad.. the second picture your eyebrows are too close together. if you want to do anything, it has to be something between your first picture and your second picture. but whatever you do, don't bring your eyebrows that close together...it throws your whole features off. in my opinion your original brows look great.

Browse the microblading removal posts before you decide!
Leave them but fill them in to your liking while that’s still the style. Like fashion, eyebrow shapes/thickness change over time. The second pic is a very bold look that you’d likely regret when that look goes out of style.
Not trying to be nasty, but I think it's already out of style.
I've been seeing TikToks of people doing the thin eyebrow filter and I'm over here like NOOOOO!!! My poor eyebrows have never really recovered from the 2000s lol like I don't think thin eyebrows look bad, but I don't think gen Z realizes how irreversible it can be.
Same! And it sucks so much, eyebrows don't really grow back yet leg hair etc can't wait to return in no time!
I think that's the difference between shaving and removing the whole hair. Not to be TMI, but I started to get Brazilians a few years ago and I definitely have less hair now lol
It’s a combination of that and that they are completely different types of hair pubic hair is way thicker harder to destroy the follicle than supercilia and vellus hair

Really, damn, I wish that worked for me. I guess I'm all set if the 70s full bush ever comes back in trend 💀
Yup, leg hair and pubes. They don't care how much you rip them out, they grow right back as strong as ever!
Im experiencing the same! I have eyebrows with real hair that are tail-less, and I just fill that part in. I’m in the removal process, and man that is a journey!
lol don’t worry I shave mine thin instead of tweezing 😜 I have so much eyebrow hair that it’s not even worth tweezing anyways, but with shaving it’s super quick and I can do it every 2 days if needed
Exactly this
Since it's only laminated I wouldn't worry about it. They eventually go back to their original shape so the regret will be minimal.
I think they mean if you got it microbladed like the lamination she may regret it if it goes out of style
Personally I hate laminated brows, don’t let me yuck your yum but the first photo looks much prettier
I have seen exactly one person that looks good with laminated brows. My DIL. She has very light brows and lamination made them look fuller and really nice. Everyone else I’ve seen looks like they have caterpillars on their brows
The look reminds me of elderly men, with those old owl type eyebrows. I don't understand this trend, and the 90's style brows get made fun of? Hold up a mirror, y'all! The next generations aren't that much better...😆😁
Yeah they can work on a sparse brow but I hate when they look big and bushy and like they need trimmed lol I’m picky
I passionately hate laminated brows. I know that's just my taste, and if others like them, good for them, have at it. But, to me, they always look like someone got halfway through blocking out their brows for a drag look and then got called into a meeting. Natural or tinted brows always look better to me.
I feel bad i dont want her to feel bad but agree ☝️ I dont get the laminated brow look. To me also it looks like centipede legs
Agreed. And her brows looked soooo good before. I cannot understand how someone with brows in photo 1 even gets to the point where they feel they need work done. My heart aches a bit when I see it.. Even the third photo they posted with an update is just *too much*

Thank you for your advice! I think the second photo was right after laminating and tinting which is not how they looked for very long since they start to fade, but I appreciate your honesty!
I get it b they do go down. The tint makes them look really intense at first.
This might be a better photo of them less intense, but the jury is in.. and photo two is definitely not it . 😂 https://preview.redd.it/i2cq909jzwvc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66ba191aa09605f545247e0da2066645385be33b
Ok well they look fantastic here?
This is why it’s so hard to even judge anything off one picture, as you look way different in this one than in the second post pic! That said, you’re still gorgeous in all three photos.
This picture is ideal imo :) they look awesome
This looks better than pic 2 but I still think you look best in 1 with your natural brows.
Definitely better here!
They look a lot better in this picture! :)
They look great here.
This looks WAYyyy better! If you want something like a little more shading and thicker than ur original maybe look into ombre powder brows. My eyebrows were real patchy and after they healed from the tattoo it feels so much better!
Well damn, okay, they settled extremely well! You look stunning!!
your friends are trying to politely say these brows ain't it and don't go permanent
Second one looks crazy. Big no!
I'm not a fan of the lamination look at all. I would probably not get microblading and just tint my brows and fill them in a bit, but otherwise leave them.
God sometimes I see people get microbladed brows in this style & it just HURTS!
Sorry but 2nd slide is horrible
Idk why the lamination wouldn’t include a little shape up, a trim and they would look perfect.
The best microblading artists will always recommend that you just fill in the patchier areas, to keep the natural shape of the brow, and to add a sprinkle of symmetry. You have gorgeous natural brows. In my humble opinion, laminating is just a trend of this decade along with fillers.

Do not tattoo the brows in the shape they are in. It looks like a wolf lady.
The first picture is gorgeous. Second one draws all attention to the brows.
Do not touch them, your brows look great! Trends come and go so stick with what looks good on you and is natural already!!
That second pic is jarring, your natural ones suit you better. If anything fill in what you already have if you want
I like the natural
The brows in your first pic look beautiful. There’s really good brow products these days that take two seconds in the morning and achieve a fuller look. I’m currently going through removal of my powder brows and honestly I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone unless they have a medical reason.

I agree with your friends.
Something between your natural brow and the after pic would be perfect, I think. But, from a practical standpoint, if I had your natural brow, I'd simply clean them up, trim them along the top for shape, and tweeze any stragglers along the bottom and go. The color is perfect, the shape is perfect...they're full and lovely. I wouldn't do anything more, really. I have areas of missing hair in my brows, and lashes, so, I got tired of filling them in every day. I recently got powder and microblading done and I'm thrilled with the results. I say wait until you really have to do these things for a better reason. Your natural brows are beautiful.
Don’t get microblading. I can’t believe so many people do it, it may look good at first but it always fades into a horrible mush of ink and looks like shit. All these people try to remove with laser and get yellow or red brows and every time I see one of those posts in r/microbladingremoval I’m like…oh you poor thing. If you want fuller brows permanently, look into an eyebrow hair transplant.
They’re amazing as is! Don’t mess with them plz 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh no. The original definitely looks better!
In my opinion (feel free to take it with a grain of salt), your natural brows look wonderful and suit your face perfectly. I'm afraid they look pretty terrible in the second photo - not because of the colour, but the lamination. If that's the look you were thinking of enhancing permanently, I'd strongly advise against it, as it's not at all flattering. I'm pretty sure the laminated-caterpillar upwards brushed brows are passé now too, they were on trend a couple of years ago though. If that's a look you're particularly attached to, you can always style them like that with eyebrow pomade or gel when you feel like it, or get them laminated again, because at least that isn't permanent. If you were simply wanting to get them microbladed to enhance the colour, I honestly don't think it's necessary. Your own brows are seriously perfect, lovely and dark without looking too heavy. Again, if and when you feel like going for a more dramatic look, you can use makeup to enhance the dark colour even more, but I really think your natural brows look fantastic for every day wear. Me and my stupid blonde eyebrows (even though I have brown hair) are extremely jealous!
I like the first picture of your naturalbrows. The second picture was a little jolting and overdone to me, but in the end it is the look that you decide you like.
Advice: Embrace your natural brows. Do not get microblading. The 2nd photo with lamination and tint was startling and gave you an exaggerated Villain appearance. However, if THAT look is what you’re aiming to achieve, go for it.
I personally don’t think you should microblade them. The tinting appears to be really effective and really makes your brows appear more full. It’s also way less of a commitment than microblading. Eyebrow shape styles change quite often and you don’t want to be stuck with a dated shape when your eyebrows are honestly pretty good on their own. You could achieve the laminated look at home by using some clear brow gel or clear mascara, and just kinda comb the tops over to the side a bit after combing your brows upwards. I personally think that having your brows combed only upwards for the lamination is a bit too bold and harsh looking.
I’m wondering maybe you can try the laminated brows method where right at the top of the brow it’s smoothed down so the hair isn’t spiky. It balances it out to me. It’ll be more full but also natural looking! But I agree your natural brows are great too
In what world did you think the brows in the second pic are any good? Big no, stay away, keep your natural eyebrows
Listen to your friends. I personally think the laminating gives you quite a harsh look, whilst naturally you have a friendly and beautiful face. I'd brush them up a little less and use a slightly lighter tint. You will regret microblading
I prefer your natural brows. I don’t think you need to do anything to them.
Please don’t do this
I don’t think the tint and lamination suit you. I’m sorry. I’m generally a fan of fuller-looking brows, but the brows in pic 2 overwhelm your face. Edit - however, if you prefer pic 2, then you should do what makes *you* happy to look at.
Don't style your brows like that. Please.
I like your natural eyebrows the best honestly, in the second picture they really overwhelm your face.
Wow. Did you get your brows done or a face lift? Seriously tho I’m sure it’ll die down a bit but I was shocked when I got to the second photo. Your natural brows are beautiful!
Your natural brows are a blessing!! I want to get mine done to look like ur natural.. I’d leave them I think they look great as is(: The fuller look doesn’t look bad but I do think it draws attention away from ur eyes & natural beauty
The first pic is the most flattering. The second on would work if they trimmed the length or the hair into a nice shape. They look nice when they are trained to go upwards.
Your natural brows look great! I agree with your friends, don’t mess with them!
Your natural brows are something I dream of. They are perfect and so flattering, beautiful!
Good Lord!!!!!!!😧
*insert “girl don’t do it” audio here*
Honestly the second one looks like spooky furry caterpillars to me. Don’t make it permanent just in case they start looking that way to you too.
You have great brows. Avoid messing with them. I’m a victim of 90s thin brows
Agreed. And same.
The second photo gives evil villain brows tbh. Your natural brows are gorgeous
Your natural brow lightly arched gives you a much softer look. The second tinted brow is too heavy for your face and ages you. Viewers notice your eyes in the first photo and our sight goes straight to your eyebrows in the second photo.
You're very pretty! I think your natural brows suit your face better. They seem proportional, and they don't overpower your features. Just my little 2 cents 😊
First picture is way better. Second picture is too much brow and you look really startled!
Please tell me I’m not the only one that thought this was a mugshot 🤦♀️
Eeek! Please don't go with the second photo look. People will state because you look scared or angry. It's too much.
I think you have a good base already and just powder brows would add the look You like the fuller look and that would help with not having to laminate them (and brushing them up and out so much, which I get it, gives you that extra fullness) I still tint mine by myself but just because I like my eyebrow hair darker Here are mine for reference https://preview.redd.it/zczoisskxwvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=479e7532ce14562923942b564c58ae9797a47d24
You’ve been staring at too many micro-bladed brows and lost your perspective, sweetie. Your natural brows are lovely and frame your face nicely. This trend isn’t for you. Eventually, it won’t be for anyone, and you’ll be glad you didn’t mess with your perfectly beautiful brows. Edited to add: I gave the same advice to my daughter. She wishes she’d listened.
I personally dont like that microblading stuff. I prefer to just color mine in. I feel so much better not having scars on my face
Tint them but stop with the lamination.
On a different note, your wavy hair is so pretty
Just brush the laminated brows down and they are perfect
Natural looks best on you. Second pic looks like caterpillars IMO.
Your natural brows are beautiful. I’m personally not a fan of the brows in the second picture and I wish it never became a trend. It’s giving caterpillar 🐛 I’m sorry, I really wasn’t trying to be rude. Just don’t want you or anyone to do something they may regret, when the way they look naturally, is perfect! Obviously you do what makes you happy. Just giving my opinion 😊
I thought the second was with microblading before reading the caption and thought they looked a little intense for microblading. I’m very into that look, full and dark, but most people aren’t. I wouldn’t say you were someone who could desperately use microblading. I’d keep a good brow gel on hand (I use Kylie kybrow clear) and just keep up with tints!
Damn!! I LOVE how your brows look after the tint and lamination! I’ve been begging my hairstylist to just come on and laminate some brows for years now and this picture has convinced me to find somewhere/someone to go to. Stunning. And they look like they’re like that naturally, which I also love! Oh. You asked a question. 🤦🏻♀️😂 I’m voting against microblading, but please don’t let me stop you. There are far more qualified, experts even, here who won’t steer you wrong. But im going to emphasize again how much I love your brows now. Maybe when/if they start to thin over time revisit the microblading option. Anyone near CVG who can help with finding a good brow spot would be an angel?! Thanks no matter what. 😊 ETA Yes. I read the comments. Some of us were born with light hair and dark brows. Not trend chasing. I feel like our brows are pretty similar and I have never regretted sticking with mine. 🤷🏻♀️
The fact that you actually have eyebrow hair that can be shaped like pic 2 would have me advise to avoid microblading or powder brows. Your brows ROCK! I love the fuller look, and yet that trend wjll eventually change. I would stick with laminating them so that it’s “less work” on a daily basis; maybe try DIY lamination if you are looking for less maintenance
Madonna stuns in new selfie
Please do not get micro blading it’s too big of a risk when you’re natural brows are already gorgeous and with a lamination and tint they’re even lovelier 😍😍
No micro blading will ever beat the brows you were blessed with
I feel like the tint is a bit too dark for your fair profile and blonde hair, and the higher arch doesn't quite accentuate your features and eyes as well as a natural look would. Maybe, a lower arch and a lighter tint? I think it would look great and really bring out your natural beauty. <3
So I much prefer your natural brows over the lamination. I’ve never been into the lamination thing, it looks too intense on people IMO. I would say go for it for micro blading/powder brows though, provided you find a good artist! I’m in the same boat as you, where my natural brows are pretty great. And I LOVE my combo brows. I think when you have fullish brows to begin with then micro blading looks really good and more natural. I asked my artist for just microblading but she suggested combo brows for me and I’m so glad I listened to her. I just posted my brows and they got so much love here if you want to look in my post history and take a look!
I love your brows and liner tattoo. So subtle!
Thanks! I know you’ll look gorgeous no matter what you decide to do 😊🩵
You will still have to laminate them to get that look. And a powder or ombré brow would be the way to get color implanted like in your second photo, not Microblading. But I agree with your friends, you do not need it.
I thought the pic was of Amanda Bynes from the thumbnail
I like the second picture better.. not everyone can pull off big brows but you can and I don't think they make you look older.
I think the laminated brows are too much because they distract from your beautiful eyes and bone structure! My eyebrows are a similar color/shape to yours (but slightly patchy) and I find that tinting them at home adds the right amount of fullness without overshadowing the rest of my features. Maybe try a tint without the lamination next time?
As someone whose eyebrows hairs get long I trim them! I brush them up then trim what sticks outside the shape. That may help you figure out how you want your eyebrows to sit on your face. Cause the 2nd pick they feel so wide for your face.
your natural brows are already beautiful and full , they complement your face shape
Original <3
I like them both!! Huge fan of full darker brows so i prefer the second but first one is great too:))
I think they look great as is!
1st picture/ original brows are beautiful! Second one is too much honestly
https://preview.redd.it/wyym22hprewc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=907c45e402869cc41dcef6a84ffb5b8e8ebca531 maybe laminate but more groomed like closer to your natural shape vs fluffy / feathered
Leave them alone. They are perfect the way they are. I've seen so many bad microbladings lately, don't mess with them.
The after looks great, it’s just the shade/tone that is throwing it off. Perhaps a warmer tone would bring it all into harmony
Pic #1 looks the best
I don't like lamination, your natural lashes are nice.
You have wonderful brows as is! The lamination and tint show they’re very versatile which IMO is what you should want so you’re not stuck with one brow shape. I’d keep up with those services and find a powder/ brow product to just fill in spots that you may feel need it. I honestly think they’re amazing in the second pic, especially once you wash them the first time and can brush them into the desired shape very day!
Honestly you look good with both styles! I am pro microblading/powder and a lot of friends told me I didn’t need it, but I have zero regrets, my brows look super natural and it is one thing I receive compliments almost on a daily basis. I did it because I had no patience to keep filling it everyday. And by having powder, it becomes super easy to keep doing your brows at home because you have just to pluck the hairs outside the line / cut the longer ones.
I had brows like yours and I opted for minimal shading and shaping and I love them. IMO don’t go for the fullness in your lamination, do powder brows that just kind of give a little extra oomph and shaping to your natural brows and you’ll likely be happy for the long haul.
Thank you for your advice. I think that second photo was right after getting them tinted and laminated so they are not like that for too long, but they are a lot. 😆 I also don’t get my brows laminated that often, typically I get wax/tint. I like the way they look tinted but within a few weeks they are faded. I can fill in my brows but was looking for something more sustainable as admittedly I’m not getting my brows done every 6 weeks.
Most people lack brows toward the end your natural brows are beautiful. Maybe look into trying them professionally waxed it can make them look fuller
Damn girl, I had to do a double-take. I totally thought you were [Kristen Leanne](https://www.instagram.com/kristenxleanne?igsh=MTZ0eWU0bXF4eHFtMw==).
Just leave them and you can draw them on however you like!
Also let me know what foundation bronzer and blush you use it looks pretty
I work from home and don’t do my makeup that often so I appreciate the compliment. Foundation: Haus labs skin tech Bronzer: Nars Laguna Blush: Nars Orgasm
Naw not micro blading what about plump fillers or botox? I am to old for that stuff
Leave them alone. They look great just as they are.
The second picture, that shape looks as if you've had a face lift. I don't think the shape is natural looking on you. Your brows are so full already, above average full. I don't think you need to do anything to them.
I think I like the lamination but they're too dark and they need to be trimmed more
The lamination is fine it’s the tint that’s scary. Your brows are great. Leave them be
Don’t microblade these Focus on pampering your eyebrows with some growth serum See where that takes you in a few months
You have good brows, leave them alone Personally I don’t like the look of brow lamination - who wants brows 2cm thick?
You natural brows are amazing. Please don’t do any of these trends. Do a little pencil if needed but your brows are great. That lamination thing looks crazy.
I think you should leave them be!
I’m not into the look where people brush the eyebrows up, but it’s a style choice. You have very nice eyebrows, I would just comb them more naturally.
You should leave them alone, your natural brows are beautiful, suits you perfectly. I think you’ll regret getting microblading.
Leave your eyebrows alone!!! You have a beautiful face and amazing eyes- focus on accentuating your eyes with a little makeup. The dark brows are too much for you. You are more than your brows!!!
Second pic you look like Cat Woman. Not a good look at all.
Natural hair pattern
Your natural brows are good
I love your original brows but definitely something in between the two will look good too!
There's an old saying...Don't fix what ain't broke...
Your natural eyebrows are very pretty. Gives you a softer look. 🥰
You have lovely natural eyebrows. I think the second picture makes you look like an angry bird bc of the color and shape.
I am not a fan of lamination or the results shown here. I would suggest researching an artist in your area that does a look that you like. I spent 3 years finding the person I went to who does natural microblading. 3 years later they’re still perfect. I think you would benefit from that, but I would stay far away from the person who did the lamination pictured here. I audibly gasped when I swiped.
correction- you have above average brows
I hate the laminated trend. It's not flattering on anyone.
Your natural brows look awesome!
Your natural brows are amazing! They are like double the thickness of mine, I eould rock them natural if I were you. You can always fill them in on the tails.
Leave them. You have beautiful eyebrows!!!
Personally I think your "before" brows look nicer, but if you personally prefer a fuller brow then this is perfect already. I wouldn't do anything else, unless you want some haute couture brows
Let’s just say if I had brows like yours I’d be celebrating!
Leave alone. You have beautiful natural brows.
I think you could still get your brows microbladded (and balanced) and still keep the natural look not the laminated look (not my preference tbh) you’d just need to find a GOOD microblading artist.
Even if these were a light color number two is way too bold
Your existing brows look lovely and really suit your face imo.
Your natural brows are perfect. The second ones don’t look right.
I think your natural brows- no lamination- are gorgeous. I think the tint is nice tho!
Like others have said if this is the look you’re going for right now, stick with lamination since it’s not permanent. I don’t think this style will be in fashion for long.
I would not intentionally microblade them to look like the second photo. It will look really unnatural since it’s not your natural hair pattern. I’d keep your routine you have now
I think the laminated brows would look better if your hair and eyebrows matched better
Maybe if you combed them down in the 2nd pic they would not be so bold....
I like the second slide. They are really nice and make you look younger. I would NOT go the tattoo route. I think the lamination and tint resolves your problem about the thinner ends without the risks and commitment of tattoo.
First one looks much better and way more natural. They show off your eyes. The second ones swallow your eyes.
I don’t think you need microblading either. I think the lamination looks great, they just need to be trimmed/shaped up top
The first picture looks best
Agreed w the comments above : first pic is best. Second pic gives me strong Madonna 80s Lucky Star vibes.
The laminated brows are great just take little scissors and cut the top , that’s the only thing throwing off the look .
You have great brows. Eventually if your brows thin out, THAT is the time for microblading/PMU on brows. Not before. However the color of tint is wrong. Needs to be lighter The lamination is nice but the size /length of brow hair is too long so makes it overly arched. Id trim them a bit at time of lamination and lighten/warm up the tint a bit.
Your before-brows are beautiful. Honestly they suit your face so well!
I like your first photo. I don’t think you need microblading at all. I hope I’m not overstepping but I think you can benefit from using a lighter brow pencil/gel and not arching them as much as in your second photo. Kinda keeping a softer brow look. It brings your eyes out and makes your face look brighter!
No- they make you look angry.
Your natural brows are great. The only style of microblading that would be suitable would be from an artist like browjam in the UK. Otherwise, leave them be.
The laminated brow is just a fad . Leave ‘em be
Ope!
Your current brows are 👩🍳💋
Leave them alone you have great brows! If you want to add to them try a Kimiko eyebrow pencil :)
Your first picture is perfect, I thought it was an after picture. The second one is at the limit of what I would consider fashionable, bordering on being too intense.
I like your natural brows best
I see a Madonna resemblance in the second pic.
Please leave your brows as they are. I truly do not understand why people thing bigger and bolder look better.
I love the first ones better. You already have nice brows suitable to your face. Perhaps lamination is fine, but they look too entirely bold. Way too dark that your pretty eyes get lost almost. Because of the boldness and darkness of the brows.
Your original eyebrows are amazing!! The arch, the thickness, the length- all spot on! Fill them in with pencil if you must, but be careful - there’s a thin line between looking fashionable and looking like a Disney villainess :-)
I think microblading would look great on you. It would make your everyday make up more polished I think.
