@Caaareful Shopper  My brows were always the bane of my existence for the same reasons and I recently had my brows microbladed.  The Best Thing I Have Ever Done.

Virtually cut my makeup routine time down to nothing.  Look so, so natural - waking up looking like this is such a pleasure ~

 

I am not one to spend money foolishly, especially on beauty enhancements, etc. - but this was worth every penny!!!  Highly recommend!!!


@fitfuninformed, how did you know you would get natural looking brows?  What questios to ask?  What things to look into.  I would be so afraid i wouldn't like the result and then I'd be stuck with it.  Would love to have it done though.

@Icegoddess  You definitely have to do your research finding the correct brow artist/tech before going under the knife, so to speak.

I was fortunate enough to have had mine done by my former brow artist who worked at the benefit brow bar in my area who went on to be trained in microblading.  She is a true artist, she would shape and fill in my brows like no other - I trust her implicitly.  When I found out she was trained and had opened her own medi spa I sought her out and went to her.  At least I knew her talent and after being talked through the process, I was completely at ease!

Aside from having the luxury of knowing her beforehand, whomever you choose to go to will explain the process at the consult.  The brow artist/tech will shape and fill the brows to your liking, take pics of same and then explain to you what to expect after the first session, the 4-5 week retouch, etc.  Colors are swatched as well, no stone unturned.  When completed additional pics are taken and you see how you've been transformed!  I was quite impressed, and trust me, that is saying ALOT!  I am very, very, VERY particular - painfully so !!!

Your new brows are suppose to last a year, possibly 18 months.  I had mine done back in March 2018 and they are not even slighlty faded so I'm hopeful I will last to the far end.   

Good Luck!

I think I dislike everything now, LOL.  I guess I dislike taking off makeup since I need to do that almost every night.  At least I can wait a week or two before shaving my legs.

Oh boy so many things!

 

Putting on foundation, eyebrow pencil, eyeshadow & liner, curling lashes plus mascara! (If I didn't have rosacea to cover it would be awesome to skip foundation!)

 

Getting my hair colored and cut!  

 

Shaving my legs (don't have to do under arms...had laser yrs ago)

 

Trimming or using that facial hair thing each week

 

Styling/blow drying my hair (frizzy curly hair)

 

Those 5 are my top ones for sure!

 

Runner ups are:

 

washing my face at night to remove make up....and dirt/oil from the day...lotions and potions.

 

Removing contacts and soaking them over night.

 

Doing my nails each week.

I don't dislike coloring my hair but I dislike how often I have to do root touchups. My hair will color just fine but it won't hold on to the color at the roots and a couple of shampoos will remove a lot of it. So it's weekly root touchups.

Re: What Beauty Routine or Maintenance You Dislike Most To Do?

I would have to say washing my hair, along with getting it cut. I'm SO picky with my haircuts. I cut the front myself, & only allow the stylists to cut the back. However, I'm always terrified they will ****** in the wrong spot. I only wash my hair 1x weekly, unless I use a lot of spray. My hair is short, once it's dried I can fix it in 5 minutes. 

 

**I like doing my make-up & nails.

My nails grow too fast.  I do my own nails and I'm lucky to get a week out of a manicure.  The polish I use (Avon true color) lasts great (no chipping) ... but I have noticeable new growth in about six days.  Nails on my left hand grow faster than right hand.  (Toe nails grow too fast also.)
