Air Brows stroke technique: spraying air eyebrows in permanent makeup

Each master has his favorite techniques, and even in classical techniques, real professionals bring their own style. How to spray air blood? How to work in the Air Brows stroke technique?

Irina Tkachuk , PM master, head and teacher of the TiLab permanent makeup studio, gives her advice and recommendations.

Very often I am asked what stroke I work with. Now I want to tell you about one technique - the Air Brows stroke technique, with which it is easy to create a spray of air eyebrows in permanent makeup.

Please note that it is recommended to work on a sufficiently large needle reach, somewhere around three millimeters. The paint supply should be good, the pattern should clearly remain on the surface, and we slowly, with light air spraying movements, begin to leave a dot, thereby creating such a three-dimensional pattern.

If you see in the process that something has not been finished painting somewhere, you can locally return to this place. And so, filling, spraying superficially, create a voluminous eyebrow. At the same time, a gap remains between the points, thereby creating precisely this airiness, which is often not enough when we try to paint over everything. By working in this technique, placing these kinds of dots, we can keep the airiness.

The device works for us, i.e. the needle moves up and down. Even if we draw a line, we can clearly see that the needle does not leave a line, but dots. And we can carefully fill in this way those places where we lack color. The main thing is that these movements are not heavy. It is necessary to hold the handle so that they are light and airy.

We move along a spiral or circular path. This does not mean that we have to "stick" into the skin, no. We place points along this trajectory and, accordingly, we see that in the process of work, air and those same gaps remain between the points. Working on a circular path will fill in the places where it is necessary with color, and if we need a more airy spray, then we can slightly increase the diameter of the circle we are walking on. If it is necessary, on the contrary, to compact, then the diameter, respectively, must be reduced. Most often, we compact the middle, and make the sides more sprayed, more airy. It can be both bottom and top, or bottom-top, depending on what effect you want to get.

It is important to observe the speed of the hand and the speed of the machine. And most importantly, remember that you need to lightly cling to the skin: we should not “drive” the pigment into the skin, we should lightly put it on the surface. Slowly moving along the path, we create our drawing.

When working in this technique, you must understand that you need to feel the skin well. If (yet) you can’t feel the skin, practice this technique on the mat, and work in a more familiar one. If the hand is not set, it is simply necessary to work out this movement first on the latex, so as not to make stains. Because it is very easy in this technique, almost chaotically leading the needle, to achieve uneven coloring. When your hand is set, it is not difficult, on the contrary, it speeds up the work to some extent.

The technique of stroke "on itself" seems to me more dense than working with these circular, arcuate trajectories. But even in this technique, you can apply a stroke “on yourself”, then simply rearrange the pen and work diagonally, focusing on the middle: in this way, you will get a compacted middle part, and the edges will remain light and airy. And in the same way in the other direction - across the previous movement.
