Jee Kim, Permanent Makeup Artist Microblading can give you beautiful, natural-looking brows — but sometimes the healed results appear too light or even grey . If this has happened to you, there are several common reasons why your microbladed brows may not heal as you expected. Microbladed brows heal too light Common Reasons Why Microblading Heals Too Light Pigment Choice Too Light Your artist may have selected a pigment shade that was too light for your skin tone.

When tattooing Permanent Eyeliner , some clients have small white bumps on or near their eyes. Milia are small white bumps that form around the eyes and eyelids. They can form anywhere on the face, but the eye area is the most noticeable. What are they and what can I do to remove them? And most importantly, how do I prevent new ones?

After the tattoo has healed, topical makeup such as eyeshadow or brow pencil can be used to alter or enhance the shape and color. Keep ...
