Ombre powder brows and Microshading.

Microblading only goes on the surface skin down 2 layers. It fades within 12-18 months. It requires more touches and does have a risk of creating scar tissue. It may also shift the color to an unattractive color if not done on the right skin. Enviromental factors also shift the color such as shampoo and conditioners with sulfate, sun exposure, skincare products etc. After 3 sessions, it will eventually have to be shaded over anyway. Ombre shading/ Shading is considered similar to a tattoo because it goes down 7 surface layers. It lasts longer. It typically is more true to color when applied. Less chance for scarring. It heals more like a makeup fill-in soft powdery finish. Softer and lighter in the front then the middle and back. Both require a 5-8 week touchup however after the touchup is completed, you do not need to get as many “Maintanence “color boost as you would with Blading. Which one is my preference….. Ombre / Shading

We usually tell Caucasian women to come back every 12-18 months and ethnic women every 18-24 months. Why do we say this? Because the skin thickness is different.

For lips… Swelling lasts 24-48hours. Starts to shed after 72 hours in a snakeskin like form. ( 24 hours downtime) For eyebrows… Scabbing usually starts around day 3-5. Lasts typically 1 week.

Could last 24-72 hours
