I'm in the same boat. Has anyone done microblading? I'm interested in that but am also terrified of a fake and too-dark end result. I currently use a powder that I apply with a firm line brush, one that's a little thicker and softer than what you'd normally use for eyeliner out of a pot. That's been working well for me because the softness of the powder keeps a natural look. I haven't tried any of the eyebrow pens or markers, mostly because the people I've seen that use them have a very bold eyebrow look. I have kindof a small face and delicate features, so I think bold eyebrows would look funky. Maybe try a powder first and build on it as you see fit?
