1) Microblading eyebrows is the process of using a very small set of needles to make tiny cuts in the skin, in which pigment gets deposited into the skin, mimicking individual hair strokes. Microblading is the more natural of the two procedures and is typically more suitable for those with dry/ combination skin. It can be done on oily skin however it is more likely you will need a touch-up before a year. Note: Microblading can only be done about 4-5 times (depending on skin type) before being recommended to switch to ombre/powder brows.
2) Ombré brows (also called shaded and powder brows) involves using a tattoo machine to shade the brows in creating a look that is most similar to filling brows in with makeup. The look is typically quite soft once healed and takes a lot of time out of your daily routine. Powder brows or ombré brows are typically most suitable for all types of skin including mature skin. This technique could be done more subtle or more dramatic depending on the desired look. Shaded brows are also optimal for those with previous work.
3) Combo brows are a combination of both microblading and ombré brows techniques with the first few strokes being microbladed and the rest of the brow is shaded in with a machine.
4) Blade & Shade brows is another combination of both microblading and powder brow techniques, sometimes called “the ultimate brow treatment” because it combines the best of both styles and creates a natural and defined eyebrow with spot shading between the eyebrow strokes.
Note: the two combo options create a denser brow for those who want more coverage than hair-like strokes.
