Powder Brows

A Gentle Shading Technique

Powder Brows offer a gentle and effective shading technique to enhance your eyebrows, providing a soft, airbrushed effect that accentuates your natural beauty. Unlike microblading, which involves creating incisions in the skin, powder brows utilize a machine to gently disperse pigment onto the epidermis layer of the skin. This method is particularly beneficial for clients with oily or mature skin as it does not involve any cuts or incisions.

During the treatment, we tailor the application to each client's preferences, adjusting the depth of shading to achieve the desired look. While powder brows may initially appear more saturated and bold immediately after the treatment, they typically fade & shrink by up to 30%, resulting in a soft, polished finish.

The longevity of powder brows varies depending on factors such as skin type and lifestyle, with results typically lasting between 1 to 3 years. This makes powder brows a convenient and long-lasting solution for achieving beautifully defined eyebrows.

Healing Process:

The healing process typically completes within four weeks, with a mandatory top-up appointment scheduled approximately six weeks after the initial session. During this session, any lost pigment is replenished, or adjustments are made to perfect the brows. Depending on the client's skin type and other factors, additional top-up sessions may be recommended.

Pain Management:

Pain during the treatment is subjective, varying from client to client. While some may experience stronger sensations, others compare it to the discomfort of plucking eyebrows. Mild topical anesthetics can be used to minimize or eliminate pain during the procedure, ensuring a comfortable experience for all clients.

Factors Affecting Success:

The success of Powder Brows treatment depends on various factors, including skin quality, post-treatment care, and exposure to external elements. While these factors are beyond the artist's control, thorough consultation and aftercare instructions are provided to maximise results. Due to the unpredictable nature of these variables, guarantees for the treatment cannot be provided.

Additionally, powder brows are suitable for all skin types, whereas Phi/Boldbrows are best suited for normal to dry skin types due to potential issues with oiliness affecting the healing process.

How should I choose the right brow style?

The brow style is chosen by looking at skin type and hair growth pattern, and ensuring a natural and flattering finish. We can provide personalised recommendations based on your individual features and skin type.

What happens if my natural brow colour is a lot lighter than my hair colour?

The brows cannot be a completely different colour to your natural brow colour as we want them to seamlessly blend, however if your brows are completely blonde etc and you have dyed your hair we will look at root colour/ skin colour etc to find a colour that works overall with your hair colour & natural brow hair.

How do you pick a colour? Will they be very dark?

Usually at the initial appointment I match the brows to the natural brow colour & then they will fade 30%. They might be too lighten when you come back but we can always build the colour. If you want them a little darker we can do so at the top up appointment. We still have to work within the boundaries of your natural colourings. Example: I will never do black eyebrows on someone who is blonde.

Can I have this done if I have an underlying illness or if I am pregnant?

Yes, powder brows can be tailored to each client's preferences, with the depth of shading adjusted to achieve the desired look. They are designed to be extremely natural so extra top ups are needed for a more intense brow.
