I've always been well-endowed in the brow department (unintentional humble brag), but as I've gotten older, the beginning and tail end of my arches have gotten thinner. Not to mention, I play with my brows when I'm nervous or bored (bad habit, I know!), so I'm sure that hasn't helped matters.

I'm also lazy when it comes to putting on makeup in the morning and don't always want to pencil in my brows and brush them into place with one of the many brow gels I hoard. Cue the vicious cycle of wanting Cara Delevingne-like brows but not wanting to put in the work to get them.

But that cycle all came to a screeching halt when I heard two of my editor friends going on and on about microblading. In case you haven't heard of said procedure, manual microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattoo that involves using tiny needles (instead of a tattoo gun) that make up a small blade to help deposit pigment under your skin. Basically I became obsessed with the idea after my friend Shiona told me she doesn't have to do anything to her brows anymore — WHAT?! I longed to wake up like Lucy Hale, Lily Collins, Cara Delevingne, Brooke ...
... Shields — anyone with eyebrow goals, really — so I immediately called the makeup artist and certified esthetician and cosmetic tattoo specialist

I'm not going to lie, I was kind of nervous about the whole semi-permanent part of this procedure (I'm a Libra, hence I'm indecisive), but at the beginning of my appointment, Piret reassured me that'd she'd draw in my brows first to make sure I was into them. Plus, Shiona's looked amazing, so I knew I was in good hands.

The cool thing about microblading that I learned from Piret is that you can have zero brows, blonde ultra-faint brows, have lost your brows due to alopecia, or just need a little help filling your arches in (me!) — either way, she's got you covered and will create a legit appearance of naturally full brows. She even creates a custom color that matches your natural brow color and uses several shades, so they look multidimensional and natural AF.
