Thank you Suzanne for this very helpful article. It’s very informative. It’s sad that some folks automatically assume that any mention of a problematic or cautionary issue relating to skin color is “racist.” It’s no more “racist” to mention that people with dark skin may find microblading may not work as well for them than it’s “racist” to note that very fair skin is more susceptible to sunburn. You don’t deserve to be labeled as a “racist” for pointing out that some people may not achieve optimum results.

In reply to Kenzie Boyd. I’m shocked by your Racism aimed at WHITE people, the girl only mention that microbladding may not last as long on Black or oily skin. A lot of black peoples skin Is oily/greasy as is some white peoples skin I just can’t believe how you’ve “pulled the Racist card” regarding black peoples eyebrows Think you need to wise up instead going through life totally blinkered

In reply to maureen vrieze. Thank you Maureen. I'm actually not sure where she did her training but I think it's probably something you can google or ask a technician.

In reply to Kenzie Boyd. The beauty therapist told me that in her training, she was told that research has shown that microblading doesn’t last as long on black skin for some reason. I also watched so many videos before taking the plunge and many black people who had had it done, were disappointed with the results as it just didn’t last as long as they were anticipating. I also have a black friend who had it done and she was disappointed with the results as it faded very quickly. I have no facts and figures, just what my therapist told me but suggest everyone does their own research on this before taking the plunge.

I’m appalled by your ignorance in the first paragraph of this post.
“The truth is, microblading is not successful on all skin types (particularly oily or BLACK SKIN)”
What is it exactly about a darker complexion that makes the microblading process unsuccessful Suzanne? Darker skinned people do have eyebrows, right? Please share the data or facts that brought you to this ridiculous conclusion. I’ve never heard of this in my life. I have Jamaican friends that have had microbladed eyebrows and it looks beautiful.

Very interesting Suzanne, as I didn’t really know anything about this. I’ve lost some of the hair on the outer third of my eyebrows (I think linked to a thyroid condition, and possibly ageing too). I might consider this one day, if I feel brave enough!. Your brows look great though – glad you are pleased with the overall result.xx
