This wasn’t the first time I had this done, I have
previously had my patch test and all had come up fine.
I had neglected my brows for about 8 weeks, they were uneven
and unloved. I was finding it hard to make my eye make-up look good. Therefore
an appointment was booked in.
On the night the lady tinted my eyebrows first, this took
about 3 minutes, We were just chatting away and the time flow.
Eyelashes: - she put some Vaseline under my eye and a cotton
wool pad folded in half, then asked me to close my eyes (not scrunch) and keep
them closed until asked me to reopen. Then she painted on the dye. (I went for
blue / black). Again we sat and chatted, this time with my eyes closed, for
around 10 minutes. She then wiped away the excess dye and “tickled” my lashes
to separate them all.
Then the eyebrow wax, I always find this uncomfortable. By
no way pain where I would have it done again. But always makes me jump on one
eye more than the other. This time as my brows were so bad she then spent
another few minutes with a tweezer tidy. (This part always reminds me why I
don’t get my legs or other areas waxed)
Then all done, asked me to sit up and check all is ok.

Everything will look darker and bolder than you expected. This is due to the residue of the dyes. Try and leave this overnight if you can
to help your colour last longer. Then wash with a gentle cleanser the next day.
I love the way it makes my face change, I feel like I can
just put minimal foundation on and a lippy and I’m out the door. It doesn't
make me look “made up” but it makes me look groomed. The effects usually last
about 3 weeks for me. Therefore I am planning on booking 4 weekly reoccurring
appointments.
Any other beauty treatments I should be looking into?
