The usual semi-permanent makeup for brows that we’ve all heard of is the microblading procedure which uses the tattoo technique to create much fuller and beautiful brows. Since the dawn of this solution, many women around the world have started opting for it. However, microblading may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with larger pores and oily skin as the colour does not show up well, and your brows tend to look much blurry. Hence, if you are dealing with oily skin, then you best opt for Ombre Powder Brows.

What are Ombre Powder Brows?

These ombre powder brows are a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure that gives you a soft shaded brow pencil look. It was first developed in Asia and has now been around for decades, improving its technique over the years. This procedure gives your brows a better definition and dept and it is especially suited for those of you with oily or combination skin.

The main distinguishing different between microblading and Ombre Powder Brows is the way the pigment is deposited into the skin. The microblading technique uses a handheld tool to crave small cuts into your skin like a tattoo. On the other hand, the Ombre Brows are done using a machine that is less invasive compared to Microblading.

Does it hurt?

This actually depends on your individual pain threshold. However, most brow artists use a safe topical anaesthetic cream to make sure that the entire procedure will have you feeling comfortable and experiencing no pain.

How long does it last?

Your Ombre Powder Brows would technically last you anywhere from two to five years. However, that would also depend on a number of factors like sun exposure, skin type, heart condition and much more.
