A popular technique allows you to save time on daily eyebrow makeup. We understand with experts how powder coating is done and its pros and cons.
What is powder coating, how does it look, and how long does it last on the eyebrows?
Eyebrow powdering (ombre brows) is a semi-permanent technique that gives a soft, natural result by subtly filling the gaps between the hairs.
This option is excellent for those with fairly thick eyebrows who want to add expressiveness to the image without the hassle of daily tinting. It is also the preferred method for people with oily skin, as the result of the procedure lasts much longer than microblading.
Eyebrow powdering is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure, but it involves breaking the integrity of the skin with microneedles; as with the classic tattoo technique, only the depth of the puncture changes.
Microblading is done by hand using a blade, filling in cuts with pigment to create natural strokes of paint along the entire length of the eyebrows, filling in the gaps between the hairs. As an alternative to creating powder eyebrows, the master works with a hardware needle through micro-punctures, which allows you to apply soft-colored pixels. This results in a more washed-out look, like you used brow powder in your makeup. Powder coating is a less traumatic option, after which the skin recovers faster.
The high-quality powder coating of eyebrows imitates natural makeup. Eyebrows do not change shape, do not stand out on the face, but harmoniously complement the image. With powder spraying, the needle penetrates to a depth of less than 1 mm, while with classic permanent tattooing – up to 1.5 mm. In the first case, the shades are softer. Permanent makeup lasts longer, but it is more traumatic.
The procedure is chosen by those who have to reapply their eyebrow makeup daily to fill in visible gaps and achieve the desired shape.
A light powder coating lasts six months to a year and a half, it depends on skin, age, and lifestyle. For example, on young skin, the pigment will fade faster than on aged skin due to more active and faster regeneration. To extend the period, I recommend using products with SPF protection and not getting carried away with peeling in the permanent makeup area.
It is better to prepare for the procedure in advance. A few days before going to the salon, you should not drink alcohol and energy drinks (they thin the blood and increase blood pressure, which can slow down the skin’s healing process). Ideally, you need to choose a date for visiting the master, after which you can stay in the usual city mode for several days and not go on vacation to lie on the beach or ride a yacht.
The master in the salon will make powder coating according to the following algorithm.
On average, the procedure takes an hour and a half. After it, it is necessary to carefully treat the skin with disinfectants, which the cosmetologist will advise.
Before deciding on a powder spray, you must familiarize yourself with its pros and cons, foresee possible side effects and consult a specialist.
