Eyebrow microblading: All you need to know about this new beauty service!! When you’ve tried every eyebrow pencil, gel, cream, stencil and pigment available at the makeup counter and your brows still are not up to the mark as you want them to be, there’s this service known as eyebrow microblading. What is eyebrow microblading? Microblading is mainly a permanent eyebrow technique where a hand tool is used for creating wispy and light hair strokes. A regular visit to the salon for an eyebrow wax will probably give you a temporary result, not to mention the pain and discomfort you feel every time, but with the use of eyebrow microblading technique, you will get a permanent solution that will last for a long time. Unlike a permanent tattoo, brows microblading is a form of tattoo artistry where some sorts of pigments are implanted under your skin with a manual hand tool instead of a machine. Forms of microblading There are mainly two forms of eyebrow microblading. - Micro-feathering: this popular beauty service is a form of microblading with a lighter touch focused on implanting just a little to the brow’s existing shape and size. - Microshading or ombre: this service provides the look of brow makeup with a little more filled-in look instead of hair strokes. Things to avoid before getting microbladed There are several things that you need to avoid before getting your brows microbladed, namely all the things that will thin your blood. If you drink regularly, or use retinol and take aspirin, make sure you stop one week before your treatment. All these products will make your skin thin and chances are that you’ll bleed a little more. Profuse bleeding during the treatment can push out the implanted pigment and create issues in the entire treatment.
