I've finally braced myself for semi permanent eyebrow tattoos!
Let's be real,
I do not know how to draw the perfect brows,
I don't even know how to draw decent looking brows!
I've tried following Youtubers' instructions,
and also tried staying real to my natural eyebrow shape.
But it still looks weird!
I've been using eyebrow powder for about a year,
and usually after a few hours at work,
the end part of my brow would disappear,
which will make the entire thing look weird.
But I still continued using it cause it's faster and lesser space for error.
So during my 2 weeks of free period in Macau,
I've finally made a reservation with Nana Nail 凯泉湾 for a 雾眉 session.
I really don't know the English name for 雾眉,
the closest I could search online is: Eyebrow Microblading
According to Elle.com,
eyebrow microblading is 'a form a tattoo artistry where pigment is implanted under your skin with a manual handheld tool instead of a machine.'

I've chosen 雾眉 wu mei,
as I'm more familiar to having that kind of eyebrow effects.
The process took approximately 1.5 hours.
This includes eyebrow shaping, application of Anesthetic cream, the actual tattooing process and adjustments.
My beautician asked if I would like straight brows or curve brows;
I opted for straight brows.
She then asked if I wanted brown or natural pigmentation.
Brown is slightly lighter than the natural pigment,
so I opted for brown.
Next,
she started shaping my brows,
and every so often passed me a mirror to check on it.
After I'm satisfied with the shape of my brows,
she made me lie down and applied anesthetic cream onto my brow.
10 minutes later,
she came over and did some scraping over my brow,
after that I could feel the poking of a thick needle along my brow.
This continued for some time until I could feel some pain from the needle,
I persevered as I could still take the pain.
After she's done with both brows,
she made me sit straight to evaluate the similarity of my brows.
She did some adjustments on both sides,
and this time I could feel every prick the needle made on my skin.
On a scale of 1 to 10,
that pain rated 3.
When everything is finally done,
she explained the do's and don'ts for the next 4-5 days.
1. Do not let your brows get in contact with water.
2. Apply a thin layer of a mixture of Oligopeptides powder+water for twice a day, for 3 consecutive days. This mixture will help with the scabbing over the brows.
3. The scab will peel off after 5-6 days. After that, your brow will look less pigmented.
4. You can return to the parlor for free color touch up after 1 month. This free touch up is valid for 6 months at the presence of their official receipt.
I paid MOP 2000 for the treatment,
with an additional MOP 138 for the Oligopeptides powder needed for the scab.
In total, I spent MOP 2138.

Before eyebrow tattoo
(I forgot to take a picture before leaving for the treatment, hence I took this 6-months-old picture that I had when I was tracking my acne problem)

Bath Time
This is what I did to prevent my brows from getting in contact in water. I took a piece of plastic wrap and placed it over my brows and eyes.
Whilst washing my face, I avoided soaping my brows and eyes. In order to wash off the foam, I rinse the lower half of my face as usual, and used sponge or hand to wipe my forehead area carefully.

This is the Oligopeptides powder mentioned earlier.
I poured a dash of powder and mix with 1-2 drops of water. I used a cotton swab to apply a thin layer across my brows.
Twice a day. For 3 consecutive days.

Day 5
Scabs are formed all over my eyebrows. My brow area felt uncomfortable whenever I sneezed due to the scab tugging on my eyebrows.
I could not take it any longer, so I manually peeled off parts of the scabs that can be removed.
Please don't follow what I did, cause it looked even uglier with patches of dark and light colored brows.

I LOVED the results!
I no longer need to feel insecure going out without drawing my brows!
I could look decent without make up!
Next up,
double eye lid surgery!
I will look up on that after my trip to Europe.
