Features of the technique of powder coating of eyebrows

Powder eyebrows are the choice of those clients who do not like bright cosmetics and prefer to always look natural and natural. Eyebrows made by a professional are no different from real ones. The shading technique offers options: to tattoo the eyebrows more tightly or paint over softly, but with the most natural result. Having studied customer reviews, the masters note that the most popular option is soft shading, with a light haze effect. This tattoo option is suitable for almost everyone.

As in other eyebrow tattooing techniques, this requires painstaking work by a specialist in phased application, as well as careful selection of the correct shades of pigments. The master, at his own discretion and according to the indications for each particular client, can work out more intensively individual sections of the eyebrows, using a slightly darker shade, and other areas less sharply, using a light pigment.

Tasks that the shading technique solves:

• correction of the natural shape of the eyebrow, its underlining;
• creating a new bend (if necessary);
• cardinal change of form;
• creating the effect of thicker eyebrows (in case of uneven growth of their hairs or they are too thin);
• creating the effect of the presence of eyebrows (in the absence of full or partial hairline on the eyebrows);
• camouflage of aesthetic defects, for example, scars;
• color your eyebrows.

Working in the shadow technique, the master can more clearly express the beginning of the eyebrow, visually raise the eyebrow, create the effect of "open" eyes, lengthen the short tail of the eyebrow. The shadow technique is also used to correct and correct previously unsuccessful eyebrow tattooing, if the shade was chosen incorrectly, the shape of the eyebrow was not suitable, or the pigment changed color or faded.

This means that the recovery will be fast enough. The powder technique of permanent makeup does not give an artificial look to the eyebrows. The procedure lasts only 1-1.5 hours, is comfortable and painless. In the absence of further correction, powdery eyebrows will simply disappear without a trace (subject to all the rules and norms of color).

Powder eyebrows: disadvantages

With the help of powder technique, you can only emphasize the eyebrows, make them more expressive. This technique does not allow a radical change in shape. If the client needs to radically change the shape, the masters recommend combining this technique with the hair technique. Many people think that powder eyebrows are only suitable for fair-haired and fair-skinned women, as they are not bright.
