Powder Brows

Powder brows, also known as Powdered or Ombre brows, are a type of semi-permanent makeup procedure. This technique involves depositing pigment into the skin using a machine with a fine needle to create a soft, powdered makeup look. The result resembles the effect of filled-in eyebrows with makeup powder or a pencil.
The process differs from microblading, which uses a manual blade to create hair-like strokes. With powder brows, the artist typically creates a gradient effect that starts lighter at the front of the brow and gradually becomes darker towards the tail, mimicking the look of softly powdered eyebrows.

FAQ & Information

Pre-existing conditions

Certain pre-existing conditions prohibit you from getting powder brows. If you fall into any of the categories below, it is not safe for you to get the treatment:

  • People with diabetes (only with doctor’s approval)
  • People who are undergoing chemo therapy.
  • People with any bleeding disorders
  • People who take blood thinning medications (consults your doctor and see if you can pause the meds)
  • People who’ve recently had Botox injections or fillers in the area (wait at least 2 weeks before you get your brows tattooed)
  • People with viral infections or diseases
  • People with skin irritations, Rosacea, or
  • Psoriasis near the treated area.
  • People whose skin was tanned recently

30 days prior

  • Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments or microdermabrasion
  • Botox injection and fillers should be performed no less than 4 weeks prior. They can alter the position of your brows and texture of your skin.
  • Must not be on Antibiotics
    absolutely no Anti-aging and/or Anti-acne products
  • No Retin A within 30 days of treatment (No Accutane within one year of treatment)

2 weeks prior

  • Do NOT use a tanning bed 2 weeks prior. If you have a sunburn at the time of the appointment, you will be rescheduled and forfeit your deposit.
  • Avoid waxing or tinting 2 weeks prior to service.

  • No alcohol for 72 hours before treatment.
  • For lip tattoo clients ONLY, take precaution and take anti-viral medication to prevent activation of cold sores. Tattooing in that area can sometimes trigger the virus which can affect color retention.

  • Avoid working out the day before and the day of your appointment. No exceptions.
  • Avoid alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before. No exceptions.

Additional Information

Avoid booking on your menstrual cycle if possible as it can increase your pain.

The skin must be free of all irritations including ingrown hairs, blemishes, eczema, and psoriasis.

You will forfeit your deposit and need to reschedule your appointment if you:

  • Do not follow our Pre Care Guidelines
  • Arrive with skin irritations or a sunburn on your face
  • Arrive to our studio sick with a cold, flu, or viral/bacterial infection

General Aftercare

It is normal for the treated areas to appear darker, larger, and more saturated up to 7 days following your session. Do not pick at or aggressively rub your permanent makeup. Doing so can result in less than desirable results such as loss of pigment, scar tissue, or infection. Avoid tanning of any kind, swimming, saunas, sweating, or exfoliating for 7 days following your service. This is essentially considered an open wound for the first week. Please follow and take seriously the aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and lessen the risk of infection. Please do not use anything on your permanent makeup that was not provided or approved by your technician during the healing process.

Please note: These services are considered tattoos so although numbing is applied throughout each service, discomfort/tenderness, redness, swelling, and sensitivity is a normal part of healing.

Powder Brows Aftercare

What to Expect:

  • For up to 10 days after your session, the treated area will appear darker, more defined, and slightly larger than the final healed result.
  • Over the healing period, your brows will lose 50% of their color and will soften by approximately 50%, resulting in a much more natural and less structured appearance. This is completely normal. If you choose to go darker/ stronger this can be done on your 6 weeks top up.

Aftercare Instructions:

  • Do Not Touch or Pick: Avoid picking, rubbing, or scratching the brows, as this can disrupt healing and cause uneven pigment retention.
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the face away from sunlight or tanning beds for at least two weeks after your treatment.
  • Keep Them Dry: Do not get your brows wet for the first 10 days. Use the provided shower shield to protect your brows when bathing.
  • No Makeup or Skincare Products: Avoid applying makeup, moisturizer, or any other skincare products to the treated area during the healing period.
  • No Saunas, Swimming, or Sweating: Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or expose the brows to heat, steam, or water for the first 10 days.
  • Dry Healing: For the first five days, keep your brows completely dry. After day five, apply the provided cream once a day for the next five days as instructed by your technician.
  • Lymph Removal: Immediately after your service, use the supplied tissue to gently dab your brows every 15–20 minutes for the first three hours. This removes any lymph (please do these even if it’s not visible to the eye)
