Having groomed and nicely shaped brows are very important because they frame your face. No time to draw them in daily? This is your answer!</p><div><br/></div><p>Wondering what Brow Lamination is? It&#x27;s basically best for people with full brows that need more control over the hair strands. Too bushy or thick? Allow the experts to use carefully-selected formulas to help soften the hairs and shape it the way you want. You can expect about a month and a half of well-behaved, well-shaped brows after this procedure! </p><div><br/></div><p>Microshading is a procedure more suited to those with semi-full brows but could use more pigment to even out the look and fill in sparse areas. After the first session, a touch up is recommended eight weeks later. After the second touch up, your next touch up could go as far as two years depending on your preference. </p><div><br/></div><p>For those who have minimal hairs and could use more hair-like strokes for a fuller effect, microblading is the procedure that could achieve that look. Both microshading and microblading are cosmetic tattoo procedures. </p><div><em><strong>Studios we love:</strong></em></div><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/strokesbeautyph/" target="_blank">Strokes Eye Beauty Studio</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/browhausmanila/" target="_blank">Browhaus Manila</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/browloungeph/" target="_blank">BrowLounge</a></li></ul><br/><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/dermobile-beauty-party-at-home/35875" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Throw a Beauty Party With This Mobile Cosmetic and Wellness Clinic</a></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/057d40c2-3278-469b-b9ba-4bd24ca9aa41_348638590_938895080561507_4384293061109842174_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Eyelash Enhancements </strong></div><p>Eyelashes might only seem like a minute detail of your face, but trust us, doing the right enhancement can make such a difference in lifting and defining the eyes, adding a plus to the overall look! For eyelashes, you can opt for either a lash lift, lash perm, or lash extensions. If you&#x27;re not a fan of wearing false eyelashes, this is for you. </p><div><br/></div><div></div><p>First off are the Lash Lift and Lash Perm. While they&#x27;re called different names, they&#x27;re pretty much the same in the way that they are meant to enhance your natural lashes to look longer and lifted without mascara or extensions. A lash perm can survive for about a month, while a lash lift can stay on for up to eight weeks. The perm curls, while the lift, well, lifts from the base of the lash!</p><div><br/></div><p>If you prefer a more dramatic enhancement to your eyelashes, you can opt for eyelash extensions. In this procedure, faux lashes are attached to your lash-line and blended into your natural lashes for a fuller appearance. With eyelash extensions, most omit eye makeup from their daily routines as this part of their face already looks made up. Yes, not even eyeliner is needed anymore!</p><div><strong><em>Lounges we love:</em></strong></div><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesecretloungeph/" target="_blank">The Secret Lounge</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kiyosa_japanese_total_beauty/" target="_blank">Kiyosa</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ayumi.eyelash/" target="_blank">Ayumi</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/newlounge.ph" target="_blank">New Lounge</a></li></ul><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/new-lounge-ph-lashes-and-lash-serum-launch/35808" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Lounge Just Launched Its Newest Lash Designs and Power Product!</a></div><div><strong>Monthly Facials</strong></div><div></div><p>Our skincare products can only get us so far.
