POWDER BROW FAQ
frequently asked questions
WHAT EXACTLY ARE POWDER BROWS?
Powder Brows, also known as ombre or shaded brows, are a semi-permanent makeup technique that involves depositing pigment into the skin using a tattoo machine with a fine needle. This technique creates a soft, powdered makeup look on the eyebrows, giving a filled-in and defined appearance.
HOW LONG DO POWDER BROWS LAST?
Typically, Powder Brows can last between 2 to 4 years before a touch-up is required. However, the longevity can vary based on individual skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare practices.
IS THE PROCESS PAINFUL?
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort during the process. Most clients report minimal pain or discomfort during the Powder Brow procedure.
HOW LONG DOES THE SERVICE TAKE?
The duration of the procedure varies depending on individual factors. On average, a Powder Brow session can take approximately 2 to 3 hours, including consultation, shaping, numbing, and the actual shading process.
WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE AFTER GETTING POWDER BROWS?
After the procedure, there might be some redness and mild swelling, but this typically subsides within a few days. The brows will go through a healing phase, during which the color may appear darker initially but will soften and settle within a few weeks.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POWDER BROW AND MICROBLADING?
Unlike microblading, which involves creating individual hair-like strokes, Powder Brows use a shading technique to achieve a softer, filled-in look. Powder Brows give a more uniform, powdered makeup appearance across the brows, while microblading provides a more detailed and hair-like stroke effect.
