I went to redo my brows today!!!

Actually there is three types of ways to semi permanent/tattoo your brows in chinese and it is called

1)xiu mei秀眉(its like taking an eye brow pencil and drawing on your brows except that it is semi permanent and you have to touch up in about 6 mths...)





2)zhi mei植眉(its about the same as the previous one except that it looks more natural cos of the line line effect that looks like the natural hairs of your brows...)PS:(that's the one i did...but it is more expensive than the xiu mei秀眉 because it has more work to be done and it is supposed to be the "newest" brow tattooing technology...





3)wen mei纹眉...(it means permanent tattoo...you know the kind that those old aunties did when they were younger and becomes blueish??i can't find the pictures of it unfortunately but i guess you should know which kind i am talking about...anyway don't do black eyebrow colour or you will regret..always opt for dark brown... i personally like dark brown as it will fade to a lighter brown colour where as light brown brows becomes slightly orange when it starts to fade...)

It's been a long time since i zhi mei植眉(option no.2) and i am kinda excitied to go back and refill my brow colour as it is fading...well i wonder how much it costs to refill my brows this time round...

So i went down in the afternoon and you know what???it only costs $25SGD to retouch my brows as the first time i had it done for like $280SGD...damn cheap right???so here are the pics of my brows before and after...bare with me as my camera is only 7.3 mega pixel and it is not so clear...

This is me looking all natural and stuff without makeup...so don't judge me ok....

Before








I know my brow looks kinda oily but that is because i put some lotion on it...
(i also never put on make up incase you can't see the comparison that well...)

After






So how do you find the shape of my new brows???i ask the lady to make my brows slighty thicker and it is kinda dark now as i just did it today...but the colour of the brows will fade to become more natural in about a month or so thats why i am not worried at all about my thick bushy brows...hahaha...



well i also got this two shimmer puff at the brow house for only $3SGD each...hehehe cute right???





Tips to get a perfect brow shape...

1. communicate with your artist..take pictures of brows that you fancy or even makeup in and tell her how thick or thin u want them to be.

2. have a mirror in hand, as she is going along and ask the artist to see the brow that you want.....

3. make sure she stencils or draws in the second brow and you approve the new brow...then constantly ask to see the brow as she go along.

If brows come out the way you don't want them to be,lets say uneven or dark:

1.Talk to your artist and ask them how to remove it or lightened them

2.Artist is able to lighten them and use a technique called "fade" to remove minor pigments and even out brows and arches.


3.If all else fails,go see a tattoo removal laser clinic and you should be fine...Remember to always communicate with the artist whatever your concerns are.

So have fun and i hope you like my eyebrow post...
