Microblading: In the front portion of the eyebrows (closer to the nose), the microblading technique is used.
This involves using a manual hand tool with fine needles to create individual, hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of real eyebrow hairs.
Microblading gives a soft and realistic look to the front of the brows.
Powder or Shading: Moving towards the tail end of the eyebrows, a powder or shading technique is applied. Instead of individual strokes, a stippling or shading method is used to fill in the brow area, providing a denser and more defined look.
The combination of microblading and shading in Powder Combo Brows allows for a balanced and natural appearance.
It provides the best of both worlds: the realism of microblading at the front of the brows and the density and definition of shading towards the tail end.
This technique is especially popular among those who want a fuller, well-defined brow look that still appears natural.
Combo Powder Brows is a semi-permanent makeup technique that combines microblading and powder fill. This technique uses microblading to create natural hair-like strokes at the front of the brows and transitions to a powdered effect towards the tails. It offers a fuller, more defined eyebrow appearance that's still natural-looking.
The procedure typically takes about 2-3 hours. This includes consultation, brow mapping, the procedure itself, and aftercare instructions. The duration may vary depending on the complexity of the client's brows and the desired outcome.
Most clients report minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the area before the procedure to reduce pain. Sensitivity varies from person to person, but the discomfort is generally mild.
They typically last between 1-3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Touch-ups are recommended every 12-18 months to maintain their shape and color.
The healing process usually takes about 10-14 days. Initially, brows may appear dark and more pronounced, but they will fade to a more natural color as they heal. It's crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure proper healing and color retention.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours before the procedure. Do not tan or have any facial treatments that may irritate the skin near your brows a week prior. Arrive with your brows in their natural state, without any makeup.
Keep the brow area dry and clean. Avoid direct water contact, saunas, and swimming for at least a week. Do not pick at scabs, scratch, or rub the area. Apply any aftercare ointment provided by your technician as directed.
While most people are suitable candidates, it's not recommended for individuals with certain skin conditions, pregnant or nursing women, and those with specific health conditions. A consultation with your technician will determine your suitability.
