I have a busy lifestyle. Between the gym, my boyfriend, work, my best friends – I have so much to do and so little time to do it. One thing that is always high on my priority list but never seems to be totally achievable is the perfect brows. I’ve tried gel, I’ve tried pencils – every old wives tale that you’ve heard of? Oh I’ve tried it. But no matter how in control of my life I got, my brows just were never on board.

Then I met Ainsley and everything changed. When she painted this picture to me of a procedure that could not only transform my brows so that they were Instagram worthy; but also give me brows that needed little to no work I almost thought it was all too good to be true. Where was the catch? What black magic was she using? But after a little bit of research and a little leap of faith I found myself lying down with my eyes closed praying to the cosmetic gods to bless Ainsley with the power to complete the extreme makeover brow addition.

I’ve heard so many horror stories when it comes to brows; but for some reason as I was lying there chatting away to Ainsley I felt so calm and just ready to see the transformation. My initial worries were cliche – would it hurt, what if she gives me a uni-brown, what if I hate it? But of course I was being melodramatic. The pain? I mean I’m not going to lie and tell you that it was painless but I would never describe it as painful.

This is where it’s important that you get work done by the right people. Ladies always do your research! Whether it’s botox or getting highlights it’s always better to be safe than to be sorry. Obviously when it comes to the reality that someone would be coming towards my face with a blade I knew that I would have to find someone who I trusted.

The biggest issues I’ve always had with my brows was that I didn’t have the time or energy to curate brows that I was proud of. They never looked natural when I put product on them and that’s where microblading really becomes the MVP of aesthetic procedures. The single slices into the skin creates single faux hair strokes. It not only fills out your natural eyebrows but can re-shape and and enhance the color and pigment.

The procedure took just over 2 hours and for the first five minutes I was very aware of what was actually happening in terms of the blade, the semi-permanent results – the pain. But then if I’m being honest after that I almost found myself falling asleep. It was so relaxing and the repetitive single strokes was almost therapeutic.

One of my favorite parts of the procedure was getting to watch Ainsley create, get ready for it; a custom pigment to give my brows a color makeover. By darkening the shade of my brows she managed to infuse my brows with this bold, strong lasting affect that really gave my brows a whole new appearance. They looked so full, they looked so structured and I swear it was love at first sight.

The idea of being able to wake up in the morning (yes my alarm is still set for 4am) and go about my routine without having to worry about my brows was something that I never even dreamt was possible. Before microblading I never realised just how important my eyebrows were in terms of structure for my face.

By having (literally) perfect brows without having to reach for any products or make up brushes – I look in the mirror now and I automatically look more awake and I look like I’ve put in effort to my appearance. My confidence has been boosted and it gives me that extra prep in my morning step to take on the world.

Would I recommend microblading? Honestly I’m sitting here trying to think of reasons why NOT to get your brows microbladed and the only thing I can come up with is that if your brows are already perfect you go girl and don’t need it – but other than that the pro’s out weight the cons so dramatically that it’s hard to make this not seem biased.

Microblading has not only changed my appearance but it has given me this spark within myself because I know no matter what situation I’m put in or no matter how quickly someone expects me to get ready for date night or work – I know that my brows are always going to be if it’s possible – PERFECT.

I can’t even begin to thank Ainsley for literally being by my side during the entire thing and for transforming my brows. If any of you are in Buckinghamshire area I can not even begin to recommend her enough. I’ll make sure to leave all of her details down below.
