Daily we receive a lot of questions from ladies who’d like to have their brows tattooed. We know how difficult it is to choose an experienced semi-permanent makeup artist and the best technique for your brows. This is why we’ll try to explain all you need to know about eyebrows tattoo methods so you can be confident with your future choice.
Important: There is no best technique. All types of semi-permanent tattoo exist because all clients have different needs and brows condition. We always recommend our clients to come on a free consultation for evaluation and recommendations.
Microblading
Microblading is a type of semi-permanent makeup that looks natural. Gone are the days when trends were tolerating solid tattoos. Most ladies prefer to have their eyebrows done in a way that nobody would suspect that they’ve undergone an aesthetic procedure.
The most important thing for microblading is that it uses strokes which look like real hair. With this method the makeup artist doesn’t draw solid eyebrows. The procedure is done by super fine pen.
How long does it lasts?
Microblading lasts between 8 and 12 months. It depends what is your skin type and how you take care of your brows afterwords.
When the procedure is done you will need to visit your semi-permanent makeup artist for a follow up after a month. Then you can enjoy your new brows up to 12 months.
Downside of microblading
It lasts shorter on oily skin. Women with oily skin need to do more touch ups than usual and it eventually fades away quicker.
Who is it suitable for?
It’s suitable for you if you have normal to dry or dry skin and you would like to have your brows look as natural as possible.
Ombre Powder Brows
This method has been known for years. It’s constantly improving and today it looks much different than when it started blossoming – 1985.
Ombre powder brows use semi-permanent ink and injects thousands of dots into the skin. The brows look much more solid and defined that with microblading. Depending on your needs and preferences your makeup artist can draw your eyebrows more smoky with undefined boundaries or have them look thick and solid.
How long does it lasts?
Powder brows last between 12 and 18 months. The exact duration would depend on how you take care of your brows and how long your skin would let the ink stay.
When the procedure is done you will need to visit your semi-permanent makeup artist for a follow up. Then you can enjoy your new brows up to 18 months.
Downside of Powder Brows
Most ladies are afraid that their brows would look fake. The technique resembles brows which have been drawn by a brow pen. It’s not recommended for ladies that are not used to see their brows so smoky and solid.
Who is it suitable for?
It’s suitable for you if you have oily skin and are used to drawing your brows with pen on a daily basis. This tattoo will save you time – for application and removal. In the same time it will last long enough so you can enjoy it.
Hybrid Brows
This is a combination of microblading and powder brows. As a results of our rich experience in Semi-permanent Makeup (more than 10 years) we can confidently conclude that this is our favourite method.
The reason for that is its beautiful and well-defined look. It gets the best of both methods. How? We still apply strokes that resemble real hair but we also apply powder which gives a natural shadow to the brows.
As a result they look natural and fuller at the same time.
How long does it lasts?
Hybrid brows last between 12 and 18 months. The exact duration would depend on how you take care of your brows and how long your skin would let the ink stay.
When the procedure is done you will need to visit your semi-permanent makeup artist for a follow up. Then you can enjoy your new brows up to 18 months.
Downside of Hybrid Brows
It’s slightly more expensive than the other two techniques. But not much. Feel free to call us and ask for prices.
Who is it suitable for?
It’s suitable for you no matter of your skin type. If you would like to have your brows defined and in the same time would like to have real hair looking strokes – hybrid brows are for you.
