Girl's about to get her first lash lift and a brow lammy. Look at the before. It's looking rough right now, but I feel like the after's about to hit. Because I feel like I'm looking extra bald right now. I really have been in my natural era. I have not been wearing makeup like that. Also, the girl I'm going to, all of my friends go to. And now it's Montay's turn to be Slay by the Gods because my friends are baddies. They always be on 10. Like, their brows are on point. The lashes are on point. Britney wants to see. Like, this is about a hit. This is, like, part two about maintenance. Nails and hair in the last part. I'm a do waxing later. Let's get into the slayery. Let's no. I like them to be more soft because I feel like I have more masculine features. Okay. It's like not too square. Okay. So you want like we'll pull them to the side and then towards your arch, we'll just slowly dump them. Yeah. I think I like them lifted. Yeah. It's like more feminine. Oh my god. I feel a little crazy. Yo. We tier vibing in here. This album. Shit, y'all. How's it looking? I can't see it. I'm not gonna look yet. Wait. The brows look in sooner. God. That's the best feeling ever. A little softer. When you lift here, it brings back better than leaving your face. I know. It's like I good like I have, like, Botox or something. Yeah. That's exactly what face does. I'm sure. Britney. This is the fucking best my eyebrows have ever looked. This is literally my dream eyebrow. I feel like I done been through that better, the feather brow, the block lamination, like, this is my dream brow. She's structured. I'm shook. I'm so obsessed. And then my lashes, they're so cute. So we did, like, the angel lift, so it's, like, a little more feathered outwards because, like, my eyes are almond sheet. But they're so cute. It's just, like, low key. I feel like a mascara is about a hit. I feel so pretty. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed. Now I can just I'm a wake up so cute tomorrow.
