What are powder brows?

Ombre powder brows are a permanent make up treatment that uses either a digital machine or handheld tool to insert tiny dots of pigment into the skin. It creates a more shaded effect, rather than the crisp hair strokes that are often associated with microblading. The result is a more defined, fuller brow, similar to the look you can achieve using cosmetic eyebrow powders or pencils.

How long do powder brows last?

Ombre powder brows last for around 1 – 3 years. As with any permanent make up treatment, the time it lasts can depend on a number of factors, including skin type, your skincare routine and how well you followed the aftercare guidance. After your initial session you will need a follow up/touch up in 6-8 weeks. And it is recommended to have touch ups yearly.

How long do powder brows take to heal?

Ombre brows can take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. The colour will be darker for the first 3 – 4 days. It will then begin to scab over, which is a normal part of the healing process. While microblading tends to scab in smaller patches, you’ll find that ombre brows scab in a larger pieces. Do not pick these scabs or you’ll risk removing some of the pigment. They will naturally fall off and reveal the true, healed colour.

As with any permanent make up treatment, you must always follow the aftercare guidance as given by your technician.
