The Ultimate Brow makeover

Inever leave the house without my eyebrows on. Although it’s not like I have no eyebrows at all, my brow hairs are quite thin and there’s not a whole lot of strands present. I have had microblading done before, but after almost three years since the procedure, I’m still scheduling a retouch.

For those who are hesitant to try microblading because you are afraid of needles, or for those who already have brow hairs but want to groom them more, I recommend the No Strips Ultimate Brow makeover. This is a painless procedure that will give you neater, darker and more defined brows with pretty much no pain or down time.

First, work with the aesthetician to determine your preferred brow shape. This took a while because following the natural shape of my brows makes me look (more) strict, so when I do my brows I lower the arch, and thicken and shorten the tail. Sort of like the Korean brow shape, but not as straight. Fortunately, No Strips was very patient with my preferences.

Next, I tried threading for the very first time. Some people find this painful, but for me it was quite tolerable and it was finished quickly. This is the best way to get a super neat brow shape because it creates a clean line.

My brows were then tinted, which I also tried for the first time. It’s basically dyeing the brow hairs temporarily. The effect lasts around two weeks depending on the thickness of the hair and how much you wash your face around this area. I am pleased with the results because brows still look very natural, just darker. I would recommend this for those who wear no or little makeup but just want to enhance the brows. This would also be great in the summer so you don’t have to worry about having melted or no eyebrows at the beach.

As a finishing touch, the Ultimate Brow treatment includes brow couture. Pomade is applied to further shape and define the brow, then concealer to make the brow even cleaner. The makeup will wash off, but it is recommended to leave the tint unwashed for three days—just be careful washing your face, or use a facial cleansing wipe.

Since there’s no down time, you can definitely get the Ultimate Brow makeover before an event or before going out for that extra wow factor with your brows.

No Strips salon is located in the lower ground floor of Robinsons Galleria Cebu.
