An Overview Of Powder Brows Process
Powder brows generally are concluded by performing the following six steps. That usually looks like this:
STEP 1: Consulting and cleaning
The first step that one usually undergoes is consulting an artist, discussing the look they desire to gain from the treatment. Next, the artist prepares the area around the brows by cleaning it thoroughly.
Experts at Lash Boutique suggest wearing the usual brow makeup while coming for consultation as this lets them have an idea of your preferences.
STEP 2: Numbing
The subsequent step of power brows is numbing. Here the artist tends to cover the treatment area with topical anesthetic, which is left for about 20 minutes until it kicks in.
STEP 3: Choosing a pigment
Choosing the pigment is another noteworthy step of the powder brows. Here one needs to thoroughly consider the hair and skin color to ensure the final results look great.
STEP 4: Measuring and mapping
The eyebrows area is measured, taking into account face shape, symmetry, facial features, etc. Then, the outline of the arch shape is drawn on, and once you’re happy with it, the actual application starts.
STEP 5: Needling process
Creating fine dots with a specialized device and covering them with pigment is the next step. If there is any pain at this phase, another brief layer of numbing lotion can be added to the area.
STEP 6: Implementing pigment
Implementing pigment is the most important step of the process. Here, after adding the final layer of pigment, the artist tends to clean the area to wipe off the excess smudged pigment.
Pros of Powder Brows
There are numerous advantages to selecting powder brows. First, it employs a more traditional tattooing method, which means the effects last longer.
Second, this method works with all skin kinds, including oily skin, which can be challenging in the case of other eyebrow treatments.
Lastly, the eyebrow appears much more defined and dramatic than the classic microblading method.
Microblading V/S Powder Brows
Although both powder brow and microblading harbor for the same goal, they both are quite different from one another.
Microblading forms separate strokes resembling eyebrow hairs, powder brows, on the other hand, form tiny dots to create a cloudy, powder-filled brow. The result resembles the look of a cosmetic application that encloses a shade beneath the hairs.
Another advantage of choosing powder brow over microblading is their longevity which typically extends around 18 months, without needing touch-ups.
Choosing the treatment you want to undertake solely depends on your personal preference. However, its effective execution relies on the artist’s proficiency you decide to work with.
