hi - I came here for the same reason as many of you. I had my eyebrows microbladed and left with thick, heavy "angry bird" eyebrows. My artist assured me that they lightened up but I couldn't imagine going to work with them, so I used the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda past described by another user. Not sure if it's part of the natural lightening process that would have happened anyway, but please see pics for results of leaving the paste on my eyebrows twice for ten minutes two days in a row. I'm feeling better already!
