Review on πŸ’« Pinkiou Microblading Pen + Needles: Permanent Makeup Machine for Manual Eyebrow Tattooing (Gold) by Clint Blackman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for permanent eyebrows!

First off, the multiple choice questions asked here about this product are ridiculous - it's a tool, not makeup. I am very happy with this microblading pen. I have ordered extra needles for this needle but it comes with multi-needle flat blades and a 3-needle flexible blade that comes sterilized and in secure packaging. This tool was easy to use, you just twist the base to open the slots. Blades in and then twist them the other way to lock them in place. This product does not contain the required pigments, so these must be ordered separately. I ordered a mix of four colors to get the right color for my brows. First, I plucked my eyebrows two days before the microblading (so that there were no additional holes for the pigment to penetrate). The day I did the "procedure". ' First, I drew with a light-colored marker what I want my eyebrows to look like. (This is an extremely important part, you don't need a stupid uniform that lasts 1-3 years). I also prefer a light marker over black. This allows you to see where you need the pigment and also see where you haven't applied it yet. Later I applied a thick layer of 4% lidocaine cream and left it on for 45 minutes. While he was standing, I started mixing the pigments and applying them to my forehead and hairline to match my brows. I then disinfected and prepped the area I would be working in, then washed my hands (I didn't want to wear gloves as you lose precision). I had a large stack of paper towels, clean makeup brushes, three bowls of water...one with a small amount of mild facial cleanser, and two plain water.) I started with my right eyebrow, it didn't hurt, just wanted to scratch. The strangest thing was hearing the incision open. They dip the microblading tool into the pigment before each stroke, trying to follow the hair's natural pattern. After completing one side, I used my makeup brush to apply a thick layer of dye/pigment over the entire area to absorb it. Then I moved on to the next eyebrow. I didn't do much with the second side as the first one started to sting quite badly (I did a dye allergy test a few days ago but I'm still a bit nervous if it's on your face..) after both sides have soaked (in the midst of a burning sensation) I washed my eyebrows with soapy water, then with one of the clear waters, and finally with a second cup of clear water. Then I applied the anesthetic Neosporin. You can't get your eyebrows wet for 2-3 days after the procedure, which is difficult given the Arizona summer because you sweat a lot. But it looks like everything worked out. I didn't have scabs like people say and I'm happy with the results. I wasn't eating as much as I wanted, mostly out of fear of not knowing what I was doing and it would be semi-permanent. But even if you do, they'll be patched up after a few weeks. I'll be doing my second brow treatment next week now that I'm a little more familiar with how it should be. I received a discount on this pen with a request to fully test and try the product and write an honest review. and unbiased evaluation. I had never done microblading before and had hardly heard of it, but I had to tint my eyebrows every day and I hated it. This pen is easy to use and heavy and I'm sure it will last a long time. I'm very happy with the pen and the results I've had with it. Permanent makeup is a huge time saver! As scary as it was to tattoo my own face, it turned out really well and wasn't as scary as I first thought it would be.
