Microblading (or eyebrow embroidery) is a relatively new, manual method which does not use a normal permanent makeup machine. Manual Microstroking, sometimes referred to as Microblading, Brow Micropigmentation, Manual Technique, Hand Method Eyebrow Permanent Makeup, Feather Brows, 3D-6D Brows, Cosmetic Tattooing and Eyebrow Embroidery, originated in Asia and has become very popular in in the last few years all across the world.
Microblading is done by using a unique hand instrument with a small row of very fine needles that deposit pigment into the dermis with slicing, feathering strokes. The pigment is implanted in the basal membrane, which divides the epidermis from the Dermis layer of the skin. This creates very crisp, fine hair strokes that don’t blur after healing like you would experience with a traditional permanent makeup machine.
OMBRÉ / POWDER BROWS
Ombré, otherwise known as Powder Brows are a more recent technique that uses a permanent makeup machine to implant pigment into the basale layer of the skin. Although a machine is used, this form of design is extremely gentle on the skin and slightly less invasive than the Microblading technique.
Ombré Brows give the illusion of a subtle, powder-filled brow. Ombré Brows are ideal for all skin types and is especially ideal for clients who have oily or sensitive skin as well as those with an active lifestyle or not much natural hair. This technique tends to last slightly longer than Microblading, with an average span of 2 years.
