Beauty Review_Korea Combo Eyebrow Embroidery Review By Arch Angel Brow

Heya! So I just went to get my brows done last week at Arch Angel Brow and I'm SUPER LOVIN' my new set of brows!! I've done my brows MANY times before and I'm always not 100% satisfied with them but this time I really found a place or should I say Eyebrow Specialist who does my brows so perfectly I'm super pleased with her skills. Hey I'm not picky to the extent that I'll say all the previous beauticians who did my brows were bad. It's just that none of them were this perfect and I'm so excited that I wanna share more with you!

Welcome to Arch Angel Brow. Before I go into details about my experience, let me do a quick intro for them. Arch Angel Brow is a beauty specialist located at 321 Clementi which has been around since 2015 to provide state-of-the-art technology and beauty techniques imported from Korea. They are the first to introduce Korea Combo Eyebrow Embroidery in Singapore which is a unique breakthrough embroidery technique from Korea only exclusive to Arch Angel Brow. This special eyebrow embroidery technique allows you to achieve natural-looking, well-groomed brows immediately with no downtime, no aftercare required and no interruption to your regular beauty regime. Awesome right? I was excited to get my brows done upon hearing that there's no downtime 'cuz I remembered I always couldn't wash my face or let my brows touch water for a week after getting my brows done.

Arch Angel Brow is co-owned by Kelly and Eileen who has the combined experience of 18 years in the beauty industry. They are both very experienced and I can vouch for Kelly, who did my brows that day. She is very meticulous and pays attention to detail. I was very impressed with her professionalism I could feel that she wanted the best for me and was not simply going through the motions just to complete her job.

Before getting to Arch Angel Brow, I was a little confused about the differences between all the types of eyebrow embroidery services & techniques available in the market. Kelly explained that Creative Eyebrow & Korea Embo Natural Brow belong to the 'stroke by stroke' technique which is embroidered deeper into your skin's tissues therefore leaving them semi-permanent. It means that even years later, the eyebrow embroidery would have lightened in colour but will still be visible on the skin. While Korea Combo Eyebrow & Korea Arch Angel Eyebrow are 'powder-like' that is only being embroidered onto the superficial layers of the skin, making them a temporary semi-permanent makeup which lasts between 1.5-2 years with touch ups done. The good thing about it is that you are able to change your brow shape eventually as the years go by and trends in eyebrow shape change. I am super envious for those who get to try out this latest technique now because my brow shape cannot be totally changed anymore as I did the stroke type which cannot be removed unless I undergo laser treatment - bleah.

So this is me and my brows 'before'. You can't really tell the flaws from this picture because the photo has been edited with Meitu so it just looks like natural or lightly drawn brows. However, I didn't draw my brows and the colour was from my previous eyebrow embroidery.

Okay so from the close-up shots you will be able to tell that my brows are not balanced, out of shape and the embroidery colour is quite off as it does't match & my original brow hair.

And this side is obviously longer than the other and super out of shape too because of the 'lobangs' (holes or bare spots) between my brows. Ugh... FYI, my brows were just done less than 2 years ago and the last touch up was done only last year. Yet this is what it looks like now and what I meant by semi-permanent.

After Kelly sat me down and explained to me the process, she started to design my brows according to my desired shape so that I can have a better idea of how it looks like and thus confirm if we were on the same page.

After giving her the green light she then applied numbing cream to my brows before we began the embroidery process. The numbing cream takes about 15 minutes to take effect which is very fast compared to many years back where I remembered I had to wait at least 30-45 minutes just for the cream to take effect. In the midst of the waiting I pumped my breast milk. Hehe. And yes, this is totally safe for breast feeding Mummies in case you're wondering - the colours used by Arch Angel Brow are organic and safe.

The embroidery process was done in a private room. I'm sorry there are no more photos during the session since this special embroidery technique is truly unique to Arch Angel Brow. It is their trade secret so hush-hush.. LOL. The colours used are all organic and you're able to choose from several shades for your eyebrows – my shade was Medium Brown if you're wondering. All I can say is that the technique of the embroidery felt like quick & light pokes on my skin and not the long stroke type from the typical 4D or 6D eyebrow embroidery that feels like a blade slicing on my brows. This is definitely less painful even when the numbing cream wore off. In terms of pain level, I would rate it a 4/10 when the numbing cream wore off but definitely 0/10 when the cream took effect.

And tah-dah... here is my new set of brows.. got chio (gorgeous) or not?? Hahaha..

Let's take a closer look.. the colour now matches my brow hair and flushes everything perfectly.
Instead of strokes of hair, my brows look like they have a layer of eyebrow powder over them. 

What I'm most happy about was that my brows are now balanced in terms shape on both sides. Credit goes to Kelly who noticed that my brows from the previous embroidery were imbalanced and hence did her best to make them as perfect as possible. Previously one of my brows were longer at the ends and the other brow was longer at the front. Now they are all balanced and I'm so happy!! #confessionsofanOCD !!! Hahaha! Wonderful job done! Thanks Kelly!!

After the session, I had to take a mandatory wefie with the pretty and talented Eyebrow Specialist, Kelly!

OMG I look super chio with my new brows, must post another of our photos... Hahaha. Okay last one k.

And before I left, I got a bottle of moisturising gel for my brows which can be used twice a day to maintain the colour of my newly embroidered eyebrows. This is optional though because there aren't any special post-care rules to follow. You can wash your face as per normal and apply your daily makeup as you wish. The only thing to note is that you might want to avoid applying foundation and sun block on your brows as they tend to fade out the colour of the embroidery. Other than that, everything is fine. Oh yea, Kelly advised to do more hydrating masks if possible. It's just to keep the skin hydrated and anyway it is good for my skin, so why not? Just try to avoid whitening mask in the first week or so, just in case any of the agents in the whitening mask cause the eyebrow colour to fade. Yup, just these general tips to share. *wink*

Here's a before & after pic side by side just to show you how nice brows can make a person look more groomed. I look more fresh now and definitely one word to describe, pretty! Hahahaha!! Super thick-skinned of me but yea, its really pretty. I mean the brows okay? 

Overall, I am very very happy with my new brows and the service/skills of Kelly and I HIGHLY recommend her. I would say by far she's the best Eyebrow Specialist I've met and she definitely lives up to my expectations. She's pretty and really professional at what she does so thumbs up up! Haha. I will be back in 4 weeks to get my brows touched up as well as try Hairline Embroidery for the first time. I'm super excited too! Do stay tuned for more updates!
