Microshading/Powder Brows
Why Choose Highbrow Designs for Microshading/Powder Brows
Microshading, also known as powder brows, is a popular semi-permanent makeup technique that enhances the appearance of eyebrows. Both techniques fall under the umbrella of semi-permanent makeup and are done using a specialized machine or hand tool to implant pigment into the skin.
This involves applying tiny, pin-like dots of pigment that create a powdered, gradient effect—darker at the tail and lighter toward the front. Women often opt for this procedure for several reasons, including convenience, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting results.
Some Benefits of Microshading/Powder Brows are:
- Customizable Results: The procedure is highly versatile. Women can choose the intensity of the shading, ranging from a soft, powdered effect to a bolder, more defined look. This customization allows clients to achieve their desired aesthetic.
- Time-Saving Convenience: With microshading, women can save time on their daily makeup routine. The semi-permanent nature of the procedure eliminates the need to fill in or shape eyebrows every day, making it a practical choice for busy individuals.
- Gentler on the Skin: Compared to microblading, microshading is less invasive and causes less trauma to the skin. This results in a smoother healing process and is often a better option for individuals with sensitive, or oily skin.
Why Women Love This Procedure
Women appreciate microshading for its ability to provide a polished, low-maintenance solution to eyebrow grooming. It offers a confidence boost by enhancing facial features and creating a well-groomed appearance. Additionally, the long-lasting results make it a cost-effective alternative to daily makeup application.
Here’s a simplified overview of how it works:
Consultation and Brow Mapping: Before the procedure begins, a consultation is held to discuss the desired look. Our artist will measure and draw a symmetrical outline of your brows, a process known as brow mapping. This ensures that the final result is tailored to the client’s facial features and preferences
Pigment Application: We use a specialized handheld device equipped with a needle that deposits pigment into the skin. This is done in a gentle, stippling motion, which creates a soft, powdered effect that blends seamlessly with your natural brow hair
Comfort Measures: To ensure a comfortable experience, a topical numbing cream is often applied to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. This helps you feel at ease while working on your brows.
Healing & Touch-Up: Once the pigment is applied our artist will clean the area and provide aftercare instructions. Initial healing takes about 7-14 days, with full results visible in a few weeks. A touch-up session is usually scheduled after 8-10 weeks for final adjustments.
More details about your healing: Your eyebrows will appear darker with minimal redness and swelling. The pigment that was applied sits on the top layer of the skin, causing darkness to the skin because it has not yet settled beneath the epidermis.
You will also experience some scabbing as the skin heals naturally. Avoid swimming or sauna’s because, if your brows are exposed to excessive water, the scabs can soften causing them to come off prematurely with a loss of pigment. Avoid activities that cause sweating, moisture, or increased blood pressure. Even steam from a shower can affect the pigment.
The final results will be a natural-looking enhancement that can last for up to 36 months. Click here to Book your consultation for your procedures now.
