Microblading questions.
How long does microblading last?
Microblading usually lasts 1 to 3 years or more before it needs a color refresh. It depends on your skin type, lifestyle, metabolism and how closely you follow aftercare.
Will microblading look fake?
It should not. Rachel maps the shape to your bone structure and matches the color to your hair and skin tone, so the result looks like your own brows on a good day.
Can I get microblading if I have oily skin?
Strokes tend to blur on oily skin as they heal. If your skin is oily, Rachel will likely suggest ombré powder or hybrid brows instead.
