What Are Powder Brows?

Powder Brows, also known as Ombré Brows, is a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates a soft, powdered look that subtly fills in your brows. The results leave you with a soft makeup look, where the tails of the brows are darker & fade to a softer shading towards the front (similar to the “Instagram Brow” look, but nowhere near as harsh). 

The session begins with Eyebrow Mapping; a shaping technique that uses the golden ratio for facial proportions to help achieve symmetry & sculpt the most flattering shape for your brows. This shape will indicate where the pigments will be inserted. 

From there, we will slowly build up the pigments until your desired fullness is achieved.

Powder Brows are great for people who already have fuller brows & just want a little extra definition. You will leave with a beautiful arch shape that best suits your facial features and brings out your natural beauty.

Pricing & Policies

Disclaimer

Although permanent cosmetic tattooing is effective in most cases, there are biological factors specific to any individual client that are beyond our artist’s control. Every effort will be made to ensure optimal results, however no guarantee can be made that a specific look or outcome will result from the procedure.

During the permanent cosmetics procedure pigment is deposited into the dermal layer of the skin and is a form of tattooing.

All instruments that enter the skin or come in contact with body fluids are sealed and sterilized before use and disposed of after use. Cross contamination and bloodborne pathogen guidelines are strictly adhered to.

Generally, the results are excellent. However, a perfect result is not a realistic expectation after an initial application. It is usual to expect a touch-up after the healing is completed.

We recommend two sessions to achieve optimal desired results. However, in certain cases subsequent sessions may be needed in which case any corresponding fees will apply.

Initially the color will appear much more vibrant and/or darker compared to the end result. Usually, within 5-7 days the color will shrink about 25% in size and the color will soften about 40-50%. The pigment will fade naturally over time and will likely need to be touched-up throughout the years.

POSSIBLE RISKS, HAZARDS, OR COMPLICATIONS

• Pain: There can be pain even after the topical anesthetic has been used. Anesthetics work better on some people than others.

• Infection: Infection is very unusual, but can occur. The areas treated must be kept clean and only freshly cleaned hands should touch the areas.

• Uneven Pigmentation: This can result from poor healing, infection, bleeding or many other causes. The follow up appointment can help correct any uneven appearance.

• Allergic Reaction: If there is any concern for an allergic reaction to pigments, a patch test can be done, however please keep in mind that allergies may show up years later.

• Asymmetry: Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry however, no face is perfectly symmetrical. Our artists are trained to cater specifically to the face & skin of the client. Adjustments may be needed during the follow up session to correct any unevenness.

• Excessive Swelling: Clients with sensitive skin are more prone to swelling. This should dissipate within 24 hours.

• Acne prone: If acne is present on the forehead and/ or brow area, the pigment may not heal correctly.

• Anesthesia: Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Prilocaine, Benzocaine, Tetracaine and Epinephrine in a cream or gel form are typically used. If you are allergic to any of these please inform us now.

• MRI: Because pigments used in permanent cosmetic procedures contain inert oxides, a low level magnet may be required if you need to be scanned by an MRI machine. You must inform your technician of any tattoos or permanent cosmetics.
