Eyebrows


What Are Powdered Brows?

A different method of achieving the look of fuller eyebrows is through a technique called powdered brows. Powdered brows, sometimes known as ombre brows or microshading, utilize a somewhat similar procedure to microblading but have some additional advantages. Many people prefer this method due to its soft and natural look and less invasive nature.

With powdered brows, instead of merely using strokes to fill in eyebrow hairs, the needle is used to draw both dashes and dots on the targeted area. The pigment is deposited onto the skin, which causes it to last longer than the ?scratches? of microblading.

The methodology of ombre brows utilizes a technique of ?shaded? brows to give the appearance of fullness, thus giving excellent definition. You can build upon the initial shading to layer the look of your eyebrows. At first, the brows may seem dark, but they quickly fade to a soft, gentle look.

When given the option of microblading vs. powdered brows, many people choose powdered brows for aesthetic purposes. Sometimes, a person may want to have a more solid look for her brow, and by getting powdered brows, you can enjoy looking in a mirror and seeing a complete brow.

Other times, a person may want more density in a certain shade. Using the technique of powdered brows, you can get exactly what you want. Other people choose this method because it is less invasive and therefore, does not cause as much pain.

And, this semi-permanent technique is the suggested and preferred method for those people who have oily skin, since this skin type does not hold the pigment of microblading very well. More mature skin types also respond better to this brow-filling method due to their loss of collagen. Less collagen means the skin is thinner, which means that the microblading technique feels more painful and invasive than when you get ombre brows.

When you get powdered brows, you should return for a touch-up procedure two months after the original procedure. After that, the brows should last between one and three years. This brow-enhancing method has been generally shown to last for a lengthier time than microblading and gives a softer, more-filled in look at the same time.

This longer-lasting duration is essential to many people since one of the reasons people go for semi-permanent eyebrow treatments is to reclaim part of the time-consuming period they spend applying their makeup daily.




How Long Do Powder Brows Take to Heal?

The powder brows healing process usually takes 4-6 weeks.

This varies from person to person and might depend on several factors. Naturally, some people heal faster than others. For example, mature skin takes more time to recover.
