POWDER BROWS

Is a form of semi-permanent makeup that involves shading eyebrows by making fine, minute dots along the brow area using a single, sterile needle attached to an electronic tattoo device. A numbing cream is applied to lessen the pain and the procedure can last between 1-2 hours. This technique uses the application of fine dots, gradually building up color and a defined outline eventually giving a shaded look. It has more of a powdery, soft, drawn outlook. Powder brows is sometimes referred to as Shading brows, Ombre brows or Microshading.

It creates a powdery, misty look similar to a made-up brow. Its defined look adds a glam effect to it, probably why it is informally referred to as Instagram brows. Here, brows are fuller and dramatic than in Microblading. If you’re looking for a made-up look, then Powder brows should be it for you.
