POWDER BROWS

All can also be known as cosmetic eyebrow tattooing, semi-permanent makeup, or micropigmentation.

Powder brows is a cosmetic semi-permanent makeup technique designed to create eyebrows with soft powder effect, very similar to powder makeup. Powder effect is done with a shading technique using a tattoo machine.

All services are considered semi-permanent. It will not wash off, but it will gradually fade over time and may require a touch-up every 1-2 years. How often you need a touch-up depends on a number of factors, including:

- The pigment used (lighter colours tend to fade faster)

- Frequency and intensity of sun exposure

- Iron deficiency (if your body is low on iron, it can absorb the iron-oxide pigment faster)

- Facial treatment (chemical peels will fade your eyebrows more quickly)

- Your unique skin type

The need for touch-ups is normal for all cosmetic tattoo procedures. Each new procedure will typically require 2 visits. The first procedure will be followed up by a touch-up appointment approximately 6 weeks later.

Before your eyebrow appointment, you want to make sure your skin is in good shape for the procedure.

Appointment: YOU ARE READY FOR YOUR NEW AND BEAUTIFUL BROWS

It’s okay to wear makeup to your appointment! In fact, if you regularly fill in your brows, seeing how you prefer to wear them can be helpful before designing your new brows, however it is not required!

You will be given instructions about how to care for your microbladed brows at your appointment, but here are a few examples to help you decide if you can keep up with the required aftercare.

- Do not immerse your brows in water for 10-14 days. The aftercare sheet will explain how to gently wash the eyebrow area and how often.

- Do not put any makeup on your brow area 2 weeks. The skin has been broken, so treat it like an open wound.

- Do not pick at the small scabs that may form. Any scabbing will be light, but necessary to properly heal your brows. Picking the scabs can affect your results.

- Do not go swimming or tanning for 2 weeks, and don’t use any harsh face scrubs or chemical peels for a minimum of 2 weeks.
