We’ve heard a lot of buzz around ombré brow shading. While ombré may make us think of the hair trend, it's much subtler on the brow. The
process
is a blending of color using either brow tint or a pencil. Typically, to appear bolder, the brow is made to look darker at the arch. Think of it as the lowlights you get in your hair, but for your brow. It's a subtle color transition that adds depth to otherwise wispy-looking brows. It also looks way more natural than some other trends we’ve fared. When sally hershberger’s resident brow expert robyn cosio mentioned ombré brows on a visit and said they are "the no.
Ombré eyebrows—also known as ombré powder eyebrows—refers to a semi-permanent method of shading the brow to perfect their shape, fill in sparse areas , and create a gradient effect. What’s the difference between microblading and ombré brows? well, while microblading involves hand-carving small lines into the skin to deposit semi-permanent dye and create defined, hair-like strokes, the ombré brows technique uses a machine to create pixelated dots that create a powder-like, shaded brow look that starts light at the front of your brows and transitions to being darker at the ends. Since ombré eyebrows are a newer technique, there is also less vetted information out there about them, whereas there is more you can read up on about microblading to help inform your decision if you’re interested in semi-permanent arches.
Inspired by the ombre hair trend, ombre brows (or ombré eyebrows) have become a huge trend in semi-permanent makeup for eyebrows. Just like the basic powder brows , it’s a procedure that gives you the look of filled-in, shaded brows, but with a special twist – the ombre effect. All semi-permanent makeup procedures imply injecting pigments of natural origin between the upper and the middle layer of the skin , and the same goes for powder ombre brows. The pigment is inserted using a dotting technique called pixelization, giving a 3d, fluffy look to the eyebrows. The procedure is done using a machine specially designed for permanent makeup by a trained and licensed permanent makeup artist and has two steps: the initial pigmentation, and the touch up after 6 to 8 weeks.
Less invasive: ombré powder brows are achieved using a small machine, which disperses extremely fine dots of pigments even into and across the skin in an airbrush or shading technique. Microblading uses a hand-tool that creates incisions or small cuts into the skin. Over time , repeated incisions into the same spots will cause trauma to the skin more quickly. Less pain & bleeding: ombré powder brows are less painful due to the airbrush-like technique we apply, which creates less trauma to the skin vs. The blading technique of microblading. The latter also creates cuts into the skin, thus more bleeding is involved.
Microblading vs. Ombré Shading: What's the Difference?
If you’re as brow obsessed as we are then you know exactly how frustrating the daily brow routine can get. Whether its pencilling, powders, pomade and concealer! this is where cosmetic tattooing can
give
you back that time in the morning.
If you’ve read our previous blog ‘ what is microblading ’ , then you’ll know all about the technique and its many benefits. But it’s not the only technique available! there is also ombre shading & combo brows… so what are they? and what is the difference? below we will detail the techniques so you can decide exactly which one is best for you.
Ombré powdered brows is the newest shading technique. It is 100% customizable and is great for anyone who wants a soft and natural look. This method creates pixilated dots to mimic powder filled brows with no harsh front or outline. This shadow technique is minimally invasive, lasts longer and can be buildable from light to dark. Microblading is creating 3d hair like strokes using microfine needles. This method is suitable for candidates who have plenty of existing hair to blend with the created strokes. Great for those who have darker hair and want more volume. For those who have light and fine hair, it’s not recommended as the strokes will heal to be a bit thicker and may not blend naturally.
Brows. Brows. Brows. If you’re obsessed with brows like us, you know the pain of filling in your arches daily with every product imaginable from pencils to pomade. With that said, you've probably dabbled in or at least heard of microblading -- the semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo that adds hair-like strokes to your brows to help you cut back on time spent on filling them in. The word is there’s a newer technique that’s superior to microblading -- ombré shading. Let me start off by saying that after an entire year of extensive research and mulling over whether to microblade, i finally decided to try a "combo brow" -- a mix of microblading and ombré shading.
Ombré powder eyebrows (also known as ombré shading or microshading) refers to a semi-permanent method of shading the brow to perfect their shape. Similar to microblading , the ombré brows technique uses a machine to create pixelated dots that create an airbrush-like, shaded brow look. To create the ombré effect, the shading starts very lightly at the front of the brow and gradually getting darker through the arch and tail. On average, a single ombré powder eyebrows session can last two to three years.
