A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to have my eyebrows microbladed by Kinley of Kinley Kay Beauty Studio. Microblading is a new and updated semi-permanent treatment where, through manual process of inserting pigment into the upper layers of skin, you can create the desired fullness and shape of the eyebrows. Of course, I was a bit nervous when I first heard of this, but the idea of having fuller brows without having to fill in my extremely light eyebrows everyday sounded amazing!
If you are interested in learning more about it, you should definitely check out Kinley Kay’s website because she goes through the process and what to expect. Today’s post, I really wanted you to see my experience with microblading. I can talk about how much I loved it but if I think the photos will show you just how incredible the results are!
I went in for two treatments. The first one is to basically create a base layer then you wait four weeks for your brows to heal. After the healing process had completed, I returned for my second and final treatment where Kinley added more depth and detail to my brows. Microblading is done with a hand-held tool, it reminds me of an X-ACTO knife made out of needles. Each appointment only took about an hour and a half.
Your eyebrow area is numb during the process so you shouldn’t feel it as much. I’m one of the lucky people who does not numb easily. Every time I go to the dentist they have to numb me at least three times! Yeah, not so fun. So I felt every single movement during my mircoblading appointment. To be honest, if didn’t feel pleasant but it wasn’t any pain that you couldn’t handle. Plus the entire microblading process is only about 30 minutes, you can definitely get through it.
Microblading isn’t scary at all and the results are totally natural. Kinley and her team do a fabulous job and made me feel so comfortable. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to actually have eyebrows without having to use makeup every day. My getting ready time in the morning is WAY less and I feel so much more confident!
Take a peak at my microblading journey then head to my Instagram for the Microblading GIVEAWAY Kinley Kay and I are hosting! One lucky winner could win their own microblading treatment!!
Before & During: In the left photo, this is how my eyebrows would usually look. I would have to fill them in everyday because they are basically non-existent. The right photo is during the first microblading treatment (it’s not flattering at all but I wanted you to see what the process looks like.) In the photo, my eyebrow area is numbed before the microblading starts and obviously you look SO good haha.
Right After First Treatment: LOVED the shape of my brows! Already such an improvement. My eyebrow area felt a little sore and my brows had a red tint because my skin turned red underneath from being worked on. Within a day or two the redness was gone.
Left Photo: Two hours after first treatment. During the first week of healing, you have after-care instructions to follow. None of it’s hard to do, basically don’t sweat and stay out of a pool. Right Photo: Two weeks after first treatment. You can see the redness is gone and the color is starting to fade. After your first treatment, your brows will fade about 40-50%. That’s why you go in for your second treatment four weeks later when your brows are healed.
Right After Second (Final) Treatment: SO in love with them! They look like real, thick brows! They did get a little red again but that faded within a day. I’m absolutely obsessed with the result.
Three Weeks After Final Treatment: My brows have faded a little (like they are supposed to) but I still love them SO much. I’m thrilled that Kinley Kay could give me such an amazing experience!
Before & After (8 weeks and two treatments apart): Obliviously you can see the amazing results. Microblading is a trend that I hope stays around for a while. Kinley Kay is SO gifted and I’m thrilled with my new brows!
