SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP

Microshading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that enhances the appearance of eyebrows by creating a soft, powdered, and shaded effect. It is often referred to as "powder brows" or "ombre brows" due to the gradient look it produces, resembling the application of brow makeup.

How Microshading Works:

  1. Application:

    • A specialized tool with a fine, vibrating needle deposits pigment into the skin.

    • The technique involves creating tiny dots or pin-like impressions for a shaded, filled-in look.​

  2. Layering:

    • The shading can be applied more densely in specific areas (like the brow tail) and lighter in others (like the inner brow) to create a gradient or ombre effect.​

  3. Final Look:

    • The brows appear fuller, softer, and naturally defined, mimicking the look of powdered makeup.

Who Is Microshading For?

​

Microshading is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have sensitive or oily skin (where microblading may not last as long).

  • Want a makeup-like look rather than the individual hair strokes of microblading.

  • Prefer a low-maintenance brow solution.

  • Have sparse, uneven, or thin eyebrows and desire a fuller, more uniform look.

​

Benefits of Microshading

​

  1. Natural and Polished Look:

    • Provides a soft, powdered appearance that complements different brow shapes and styles.

  2. Long-Lasting:

    • Results last 1–3 years with annual touch-ups.

  3. Low Maintenance:

    • Reduces the need for daily eyebrow makeup application.

  4. Customizable:

    • Can create subtle or bold looks depending on the client's preferences.
