So I'm in china and decided i wanted to do a mini glow up. Nothing crazy; just nails, skin and brows. For brows especially, i just wanted shaping and maybe bleaching them one shade lighter for a softer look. I couldn't tried myself but I was never really allowed to do they're whole girly salon thing growing up and just wanted a professional.

I don't speak mandarin much but I had a good translator and messaged ahead of time what I wanted. Most shops that did brows around me advertised semi permanent(which I'm assuming is micro blading) but I was clear i want a fan of needles and just wanted some shaping.

Well, my chronic childhood people pleasing and the language barrier led me to get the needles lol. And they look fine. Its the shape I wanted with my natural brows and I know the color will lighten. But now I'm scared I've done irreversible damage and that it'll fade to some hour pink or grey blob disaster. My first time trying to be adult and treat myself and I already messed up 😭

How can I ensure that they'll just fade to nice nothingness in a year? I got my saline and started today. I heard sunscreen after they heal is good too. I'm low key tempted to let some steam hit them though in hopes they dont stick as much.
