It hurt like crazy, I cried, I panicked XDD. I was totally terrified beforehand, but Rachel gave me so much courage. She promised it wouldn't hurt, saying she's invested so much money and time perfecting this skill, so please be assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the result? This microblading experience was absolutely perfect! Not only could I chat madly with Rachel and share my feelings during the procedure, but most importantly\u2014I actually fell asleep twice while chatting! It was completely opposite to the agonizing, battle-like experience I imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting it done, everyone says my complexion looks so much better! You'll see my big transformation during the next livestream class \ud83e\udd23 Especially when eating and drinking\u2014my lip color doesn't get wiped off anymore, and I can look beautiful on dates without constantly reapplying (I've been actively dating lately because I cherish time\u2014who knows what tomorrow brings, so I'm doing things I want to do right now).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I recommend everyone\u2014men and women alike\u2014get microbladed lips. Your complexion will instantly look so much better, and I think your self-affirmation grows noticeably stronger too. For example, telling yourself you're healthy, which makes you eat more mindfully. It's an unexpected benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teacher also does lucky charm microbladed eyebrows and serves both Kaohsiung and Taipei!
