My Eyebrow and I

The last eyebrow embroidery lasted me for 2 years and it had very much faded. I decided to go back to Beauty Recipe, where I last did my brow. The place wasnt particularly good or bad and I had wanted to try somewhere new. However, I was lazy to look for a new eyebrow place when the one recommended by my colleague was overly booked.

These were my faded brows right before the embrodiery. I had to sometimes draw them in the last few weeks bcos they were so light. I was reminded of how troublesome brow drawing was.
The beautician drew my brow and confirmed that I was happy with them before applying the numbing cream.

Bcos my fringe was in the way, I was made to wear a shower cap and looking hideous when combined with the cream. Lol. Luckily, I was hidden in one corner.
The numbing cream took about 30 mins to get effective and it was totally power. There was no pain at all, only the scary "ziak, ziak, ziak" sound as the beautician worked on my brow.

The last step was to add on more color. I know, I know. Totally 蜡笔小新, 没有形象 already. Lol.
It was all done in an hour. Woohoo! Newly mint brows! They were alot darker in reality.
Which explains why I was with my yellow sunglasse when I rode with the WWF 1 day later. They were still absolutely dark on Saturday and Sunday. Nevertheless, I auntie already and thick skin; I went around business as usual over the weekend, even to Takashimaya.


It wasnt much better on Monday. Fortunately I was clearing leave and didnt have to go back to office until Wednesday. At least I had 2 more days to hide.
By Wednesday, I was at least presentable. I still had a couple of colleagues asking about my brows. Haha.
Finally, after more than one week of suffering. I think I finally looked somewhat normal. Yeah!
I thought that the brow's color is darker than the last round or maybe it is the constrast of my brown hair. Anyway, it will be a good 1.5 to 2 years before I have to go through the same shame again. Hehe.
