What are Microshading Brows?

Microshading is the semi-permanent secret to fuller eyebrows that look natural. It creates a fine hair-stroke look with some powdered effect that resembles eyebrow powder with repetitive dots of pigment.

The perfect candidate would have thinning eyebrows with drier skin. The results usually look natural because each stroke blends in seamlessly and imitates your natural hair. Dry to normal skin types tend to heal better producing crisper results.

For a client with a moderate amount of brow hair, the strokes will blend in well. It is not recommended for oily and sensitive skin types because the pigment will not retain well. It fades faster and the strokes tend to heal blurry over time. Always keep in mind that what you see after the procedure will heal lighter. You will lose up to 40% of the pigment.

​

Generally, the hair stroke technique does not last as long as the powder technique, that is why a combination of both treatments is the most beneficial. The reason is that stroking the needle through the skin to create a hair-like tattoo does not implant the pigment as deeply as the powder method. In many cases, it needs to be retouched more frequently, because it fades quickly. If you are looking for longer-lasting results this combo technique gives better results.

*After the procedure, your eyebrows area may be red or scabby, so it is suggested not to schedule any big events for the first week or two.
