Ombre Brows, Powder Brows, Shading — all are different names for essentially the same process. It is the process of creating a ‘filled in’ or ‘penciled in’ look for the eyebrows.
Powder/Ombre Brows is a semi-permanent makeup procedure where it incorporates pigment to the top layer of skin through a single-needle application to ensure that your look is most natural. While it’s a similar process to getting a tattoo, the result is much more natural looking. The ink that is used is far less concentrated than that of a regular tattoo and is specifically formulated for permanent makeup.
Well-shaped eyebrows will help you look younger and fresher and balance overall shape of your face.
Wake up every morning with natural looking perfectly shaped eyebrows!
24 hours prior to your appointment, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or CAFFEINE, DO NOT TAKE ADVIL or other blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Niacin or Vitamin E unless medically necessary.
Botox should be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the procedure.
No waxing/tinting (for eyebrows) or tanning 3 days before.
For lips, if you have ever had or are prone to cold sores, you must take Valtrex for 5 days before procedure. Also be prepared to see the color stronger than what you expect right after the procedure. They will fade in color 30-50%.
For eyeliners, be prepared to see them a little bigger/thicker than what you expect. It’s just the swelling. It will get smaller once healed.
Avoid booking during your menstrual cycle as it can increase your pain.
How to prepare for permanent makeup appointment?
We recommend powder brows for individuals with oily skin, mature skin and for those wanting a soft makeup look. The soft makeup look means that the tails of the brows are darker and fade to a lighter at the start of the brows, giving them a subtle look.
The ideal candidates for powder brows are those who have hair, but still like to fill in with makeup. At the same time, it is actually amazing for those who don’t have a lot of natural brow hair as well.
It is a 2 step process - your initial procedure and a touch up, usually 4-6 weeks apart. It is important to complete both the initial procedure and touch up.
STEP 1: The initial procedure takes approximately 2-3 hours. During this time, a consultation is done where we discuss your desired look, choose a color tone and draw the initial outline of the procedure area for your approval. Once you are satisfied with the basic shape and symmetry, the area is then traced over and semi-permanent pigment is applied.
For eyebrows permanent makeup procedure: Though our faces are NOT perfectly symmetrical (one side is usually flatter than the other), we do our very best to create as much symmetry as possible! As we like to say BROWS ARE SISTERS, NOT TWINS.
STEP 2: The second stage of the treatment is a touch up appointment. The touch up that takes approximately 1-1,5 hours. Touch ups are done in 4-6 weeks of your initial procedure. It is IMPORTANT you complete the touch up treatment. Without it, the results will not be optimal. Color will fade significantly within 2 weeks as the skin heals, peels and fades. In 4 weeks after 1st procedure you will see the final color. It is time to come for touch-up. The touch up corrects any irregularities, unevenness, color tones and finishes the process.
