Amber and Anna Get Their Eyebrows Microbladed! | 7 Little Johnstons

A few months ago, our foreign exchange student, Yllka, headed back to Finland. So now we’re back to being the seven Johnstons, and our life is as busy as it ever was—busy, hectic, and sometimes crazy.

That’s a little dark. Is there something lighter? Oh my god, we don’t need to go for that look. That’s too dark. Not this look.

So, Mom and I are going to get our eyebrows microbladed. But before we stick a needle on our skin where our eyebrows are, we are going to try at-home brow tints to see which shade works best for us.

What are you all doing up here? Eyebrows. Eyebrows? You want to do this thing? I’m not doing all that now. I wonder if they’re going to put like numbing cream. It’s like a tattoo, is that what it is? Yeah, it’s a tattoo.

Well, I should be able to see on his eyebrows after this. Really, Alex? Microblading is where, essentially, it’s a tattoo.

The tattoo artist mimics the hairs of your eyebrows to fill in areas if you have very thin or non-existent eyebrows, or if your eyebrows are sparse due to previous plucking.

Alright, this is the most natural I can get with this stuff. Yeah, that looks good. Now do your other one. Oh my goodness, I got a message.

Now you’ve got to match it up. Yeah, because it looks weird now. Remember, they’re not twins; they’re sisters. I don’t get it. So your eyebrows are not exactly the same? Really? They’re sisters.

You might as well get a paintbrush and get black paint. For Emma, she’s not doing the microblading, maybe one day, but we wanted to have fun with her.

What the heck? You’re doing yours next. [Laughter] You look like one of those old vintage clowns. When I see Amber and the kids having cosmetology class, I try to stay out of it because every time I go in there, something ends up happening to me. I’m not doing none of this. I’m not doing my eyebrows.

Oh my god, Harry. If I’m in the shower one day, why can’t she just come in and take my razors? I don’t know. Wax her legs. She shouldn’t come by my back.

Can I repeat one moment? No, no, because you probably won’t get it the first time. I wanted to make sure we got both patches of hair. I knew I had to do it at the same time. I learned that with waxing his eyebrows.

No, go this way with the hair. Oh, oh, you didn’t get it all. You don’t know what you’re doing. Oh Jesus. [Music]

So I’m like, “Oh, we’re going to stick both on there. One, two, three, go.” We go. This stuff works. It hurt, but then like two minutes later it hurt worse.

That spot right there is really tender now. Yeah, I know, but I can’t get it. Yes, we can. No, we can’t. Lay back down. No, I’m not doing that.

I wanted mom to do his butt crack because it’s so hairy. I’m good. You know, I’ll wear my pants a little bit higher. Can I please just add a little color? I don’t need any. If you’re not going to play in our eyebrow party, then you need to leave.

Yeah, I value—nope, nope. You’re saying you’re staying. I don’t find it very fair that Dad was able to leave, but yeah, I was forced to stay.

You need eyebrows. I hate ice cream. You save me. No, Alex. Emma’s doing you. You’re on your own for being up here. They’re trying to torture me, I guess.

Wow, I hope you never get your eyebrows like that. Well, we just hope this doesn’t happen. Oh my goodness. In the Johnston household, if we are going to try out something, we are going to have fun with it. [Music]

Holy cow. Hey, this is not what I want. No, no. Maybe we should Google what to do in the event that things go wrong.

I wanted to go last, so I’m going to save the best for last. I could see what I’m working with. Together, if him screws me up, well, I want to do something crazy on Alex’s eyebrows because I just want to try it.

I think it’s really good, and he does only crazy too. Let me get in trouble for this, but I mean, it’s going to be worth it.

Yeah, I should. Oh, this was fun. Please don’t post this. No, wait. Everybody’s like, “Get in here.” Realistically, our goal is we want natural. Hopefully, we don’t come out looking like we used Sharpies. Let’s just not say that we’re going to come out looking good.

No, let’s don’t even say hopefully. No, we’re going to come out looking good. The tattoo artist could slip and fall and draw a male genital on your head. Oh my god.

Hi, hi. We are at the tattoo place. We are getting microblading on our eyebrows. Okay, I’ll go first. You’ll go first? Yeah, that way I can watch, and if anything goes, you know, like terrible, I can be like, “Thank you.”

Oh god. Thank you, Mom. In the past, Anna and I have struggled to see eye to eye at various times. Now that she is an adult and maturing, I feel like we are working towards improving our relationship. It is nice to see that we can do stuff together without bickering, and I hope this is just a work in progress and continues to improve.

Alright, I’m going to get your numbing started. Sure, the more numbing the better. Yeah, I don’t want to say I’m nervous, but I think there is a little, like, I don’t know, hesitation. I don’t know. I mean, you just think about all the things that could go wrong. I can do this.

I absolutely love the tattoo that I got on my foot; however, it was way more painful than I thought. Whoa. I definitely hope that microblading is going to be less painful.

So I want you to make some facial expressions. You’re going to bring your brows in, and then you’re going to lift them up because we want to make sure that they’re symmetrical when you’re being expressive.

I did not need the microblading because microblading is more for adding hairs, and she said I had enough hair, so we skipped the microblading and went to the powdered tattoo. There’s no turning back.

Do you feel anything? Don’t move. She might swell a little bit. Maybe a little redness. The definition of permanent is you can’t take that crap off. So I am not okay with looking like a permanent marker on my face.

When you wipe it, it’s a lot lighter. Yep, we’re all done. I think I’m really excited to see how hers turn out because they’re so light. I think it looks good.

The shapes are my favorite because I knew she could get the color. You’ll wake up in the morning, and you’ll have eyebrows.

I love my eyebrows. I mean, I was kind of scared, but mine looked natural. It looks like I just filled them in. I think it’s a perfect color for her skin tone and her hair.

Alright, so I’m going to start with your microblading first. So that’s the blade. They’re a bunch of little tiny needles bunched together, so when it goes into the skin, it’s like a little paper cut and deposits the pigment into the skin.

Oh god. The cosmetic tattoo artist, Emily, recommends that I have microblading because of the sparse hair in the middle area and then do like the ombre powder on the outer part of my eyebrow. So hopefully, that will give me the exact look that I am looking for.
