Before coating your lashes with mascara, use an eyelash curler to give your fringe the perfect curve. In addition to curling the base of the lashes, use the tool to curl the middle and tips of your lashes too.  Look down as you place the curler at the base of your lashes. Clamp down on your lashes and hold for 8 seconds. Open the curler and move the tool to the middle of your lashes. Clamp down on your lashes for 8 seconds. Open the curler and slide the tool to the tips of your lashes. Clamp down on your fringe for 8 seconds. Open the tool and remove it from your lashes. Repeat on your other set of lashes. Lining the inner rim of your upper eyelids with black eyeliner will make your lash line appear thicker. Place a finger above the corner of your eye and pull up on your lashes. Run a black eyeliner pencil along the upper water rim. Repeat on the other eye.  To enhance this subtle change, you can cover the black eyeliner with a layer of black waterproof gel eyeliner. Dip your eyeliner pencil into the gel and run it along your upper water rim.  This step is optional. Mascara primer is a base coat for your lashes. This product makes it easier for your mascara to stick to your lashes. The additional layer also adds volume and a little length to your lashes.  Mascara primer is applied in the same way as mascara. Use the primer applicator to coat your lashes with the product. Some primers also condition and strengthen your lashes. This step is optional.

Summary: Curl your lashes. Create the illusion of a fuller lash line with eyeliner. Apply mascara primer to your lashes.

A quick Google search will get you started, but you’ll need to more in-depth research than that. Depending on where you live, you may have several different options to compare or you may be making a trek to a technician, so it’s important to do your homework. Check their licenses and certificates. These should be listed on their website, but you can also call and explicitly ask. The best way to guess what your own results would be like is to see the results of previous customers. Look at the technician’s portfolio online, paying special attention to those “before” eyebrow pictures that look most like yours.  Check out reviews on their Yelp page, and Google their name to see if you can find any other customers. Don’t forget, technicians create brows per their client’s preferences. If you don’t like a certain shape or style you see on in their portfolio, that may have simply been the customer’s choice. Microblading is not a cheap investment, and depending on where you are located, it can vary from $300 to $1,000. While comparing prices can be helpful and realistic, remember that microblading is a process that can drastically change your face. If you prefer the work of one technician but it’s a bit pricier, consider the factors that might affect the pricing, such as location or experience.

Summary: Investigate technicians in your area that offer microblading. Look at the portfolio and read reviews. Compare prices.
