This technique uses the stroking method to create “little hairs” but also uses a shading technique for more density. This look will still appear natural and but it will be darker and fuller.
Since Microblading alone will never give you the “makeup look”, implementing shading with the strikes, you can say goodbye to that eyebrow pencil.
We keep it soft for every day, so that you can still add makeup to it for a more dramatic look!
Shading typically lasts longer than Microblading (may last up to 2 years) as it uses more pigment throughout the eyebrow. If you are looking for longevity with less touch-ups shading would be the recommended method. It works best with oily skin type since oily skin tends to fade quicker with microblading. Shading technique will help with pigment retention.
However most people are fearful of this method looking too solid or unnatural. Permanent makeup has come a long way and is constantly advancing. This new shading method won’t be solid, dark and saturated like the older permanent makeup we see. Once it is evenly applied and super sharp, it will sit there for about 10 – 20 minutes. When it’s done developing, it is wiped away and your eyebrows are then waxed, threaded, or tweezed to complete a high definition effect.
Maintenance tips
- Recommend getting a “touch-up” of your shaded eyebrows at least once every 1.5 years.
This touch-up will involve adding pigment to the outline of the brows that you have already. - After your skin is fully healed, you’ll want to protect your brows investment by taking care of your skin.
- Applying a sunscreen to the brows area may help prevent fading. Like similar cosmetic treatments — such as eyebrow tattooing — is permanent but will fade. Fading may occur at a faster rate than brow tattooing due to the smaller amount of pigment used.
Two years after your initial procedure, you’ll most likely have to repeat the procedure in its entirety.
