MICROBLADING | POWDER BROW

Microblading, Blading with Shading, Ombre Powder Brows – What are they?

All of the techniques we offer are considered permanent makeup, or tattoos, to help make you look younger, more refreshed, and more put together with NO effort! Specifically, all of our brow permanent makeup techniques involve the insertion of ink into the skin to create a natural looking eyebrow. Because all procedures result in eyebrows that will be on your face for a while, it’s important that you understand exactly how all this works so you can make the right decision. We look forward to earning your trust, and this information packet is the first step!

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

The simple answer is anyone that wants to have full, beautiful brows all day, every day! That would include busy parents or business people who don’t have much time to apply brow makeup, active people who don’t want to worry about sweating off makeup while working out or swimming, or any person who struggles with getting that perfect shape that the celebrities and YouTube makeup artists always seem to have. Other clients include Cancer survivors, those suffering from scarring, Trichotillomania, Alopecia, or other diseases and disorders that have led to natural hair loss.

How are Microblading, Shading and Ombre Powder Brows different from a traditional eyebrow tattoo?

The most common type of traditional eyebrow tattoos involves the use of a lot of pigment and a block style brow, which leaves the client with a dark outlined eyebrow and no depth. These often fade to really unflattering colors. Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery services leave the client with natural looking eyebrows that look real! Careful selection of pigment is chosen to give depth and shape so that the natural brow hairs and permanent makeup blend seamlessly. Note that everything we do looks natural, but all permanent makeup is still a tattoo. There are just dozens of techniques.

What is the difference between the techniques?

MICROBLADING

Microblading: This technique involves making tiny little lines in the skin with a hand tool and ink, resulting in an eyebrow tattoo that looks like hair strokes. This option shows a lot more skin than the other techniques, and for that reason many people think it’s the most subtle.

  • Looks like hair strokes
  • This technique typically fades the fastest
  • More trauma to the skin over time, so touch ups should be minimal and spread over time
  • Best for people with tight skin and small pores
  • Better for people with dry and normal skin
  • Not the best technique for people with extremely oily skin or people who bleed

BLADING WITH SHADING

This technique blends both hair strokes and shading into one blended outcome. First Microblading is done, and then another tool is used to provide a soft diluted version of color to fill the space between strokes. This makes the brow look fuller and slightly more pigmented than can be achieved with just Microblading alone.

  • Looks like hair strokes but with a lot more coverage
  • Lasts longer than Microblading
  • Still some Microblading, however less is needed than with Microblading alone therefore less touch ups needed, thus less trauma to the skin
  • Best option for those with little to no hair, or large holes in their natural brows
  • Better option for people with oily skin
  • Not the best technique for people who bleed

OMBRE POWDER BROWS

This technique is done with a small machine that gently inserts pigment into the skin that looks very soft and misty. No hair strokes are placed, so the brow is fully covered with a light color, and little pigment is placed at the start of the brow for a soft look. This does not look like old traditional block brows! It’s soft and pretty, like a light makeup fill.

  • No hair strokes are created
  • Lasts longer than the other techniques
  • Minimal trauma to the skin
  • Less touch ups required
  • Great for all skin types
  • Best option for people who bleed and who desire the most coverage possible
