Want to get perfect eyebrows and get rid of daily make-up? Then the powder technique will save you. I tell you about the features of micro shading eyebrow tattoo, its differences from microblading and powder brow tattooing, as well as prices for the service in different cities in Australia.

Powder Brows before and after

Consult a doctor

We cannot diagnose, prescribe, advise or forbid you anything. This can only be done by a doctor and only after an individual consultation.

All we can do is tell you the facts, confirmed by medical research.

Powder brow tattoo: what it is?

Powder brows (micro shading, shadow technique) is a method of permanent colouring of eyebrows. Gives a soft effect: the beautician subtly fills the gaps between the hairs with colouring pigment.

Microshading saves from daily tinting with pencil, gel, shadows and other means.

I did powder spraying in 2019 to make the image more expressive. Well, and to not have to wear make-up every day. I have hollows between my hairs and a hateful scar. During the procedure it was painful when the beautician hammered pigment into the scar, but with the other eyebrow no discomfort was not felt.

The method is suitable for those who want to add brightness to the image and get rid of daily make-up. The technique is a good solution for owners of oily skin, because the result lasts longer, if compared to microblading.

They say that beauty requires sacrifice. At least financially. In order to ‘pay back’ for perfect eyebrows not to hit your bank card balance hard, pay for services in instalments with Halva. Issue a card and use borrowed funds. If you pay with your own money, you’ll get cashback back on your card.

Differences from tattooing and microblading

Method of pigment injection	Apparatus used	Depth of needle insertion	Result
Powder colouring (micro shading)	Micro needle	Up to 1 mm	Soft, blurred pattern, as if painted with watercolours.
Microblading	Blade	0.17-0.2 mm	Imitation of natural hairs
Nano Blading	Needle	1,5-2 mm	Classic tattoo

How long the effect of powder coating of eyebrows lasts

On average, the result of micro shading lasts up to two years. To prolong the effect, it is necessary to properly care for the eyebrows and follow the recommendations of a beautician.

Over time, the saturation will decrease due to contact with water, cosmetics, pillow.

If you want to fix the result, go to refresh – correction.

There is another way to even out the shape of eyebrows – lamination. In the article on ‘Halva Media’ told what this procedure is, whether it can be done at home and how much it costs in the salon.

Pros and cons of powder eyebrow plumping

Pros	Minuses
no painful sensations except for overlapping scars (although this depends on your pain threshold and other individual characteristics); long-lasting results; natural contour; cheapness; naturalness; time-saving make-up; fast rehabilitation	is not suitable for people with thin eyebrows, because shadow spraying does not make them clear and voluminous; immediately after the procedure, the colouring looks too bright, there is a slight inflammation around the edges; it should not be wet for several days; pigment may not take root in people with very oily skin and hormonal disorders

How to do it

I advise you to prepare for the procedure in advance. A few days before going to the beautician can not drink energy and alcohol, because they thin the blood and it negatively affects the healing of wounds.

Cleanses the skin from sebum (sebum) and make-up with antiseptic.
Corrects the shape with tweezers or thread.
Draws a sketch with a special white pencil according to the anatomical shape and wishes of the client.
Performs initial anaesthesia with anaesthetic gel or cream.
Selects the pigment suitable in colour.
Applies the colour with a special machine, making small punctures in the skin.
Cleans the skin of excess colour and applies a healing ointment.

It usually takes no more than an hour and a half. Depends on the client’s pain threshold: if it is low, anaesthetise again, wait until the anaesthetic takes effect and continue spraying.

When to make correction

Part of the colour is removed naturally: through sweat, after washing, due to friction, for example, with fringes. Usually a month and a half after the first session, a correction is appointed. The master adds pigment, corrects the shape and density of colouring.

How to care

After the procedure, the beautician gives a list of recommendations. Usually you can not:

carry out water procedures for 2-3 days;
use care cosmetics;
do sports, because with sweat comes out the colour;
go to the sauna, sauna, solarium 2-4 weeks;
picking, scratching, tearing off the crusts until they come off by themselves;
within four days after the procedure to take medications that affect blood clotting.

Contraindications

The procedure itself is safe for the body, provided that the master did everything correctly. But before going to the salon, it is necessary to study contraindications, among which are:

skin diseases in the eyebrow area (for example, dandruff, psoriasis);
problems with blood coagulation;
pregnancy (first 12 weeks);
breastfeeding period;
exacerbation of herpes;
high temperature;
diseases of the endocrine system;
diabetes mellitus;
acne in the sprayed area;
immunodeficiency;
allergy to paint components;
oncological diseases (can be done only with the permission of the attending physician).

How much it costs

I looked at the spread of prices on ‘google services’ to understand how much microsheiding costs in different suburb. We have a look a lot of different salons and might tell that Olha Po (fully licensed and certified artist) in Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne has the best price much $450 for first session and follow up $100 (on 16/05/2024). It’s a good combination of expert authority and trust.

Conclusion

So, cosmetic eyebrow tattoo is an aesthetic design of eyebrows. The master corrects the shape and contour, fills the empty areas between the hairs, covers scars and scars with special pigment. As a result – a bright image and salvation from daily make-up for a couple of years.
