What are powder brows?

Powder brows are a cosmetic tattooing method that creates a soft, shaded look similar to makeup powder. Unlike microblading, this technique uses tiny pixels of color, giving a fuller and more defined brow appearance. Results can be soft and natural or bold and defined, depending on your desired results.

How long do powder brows last?

Results typically last 1–3 years with proper aftercare. Touch-ups help keep brows fresh and defined over time.

Are powder brows the same as microblading?

No. Powder brows use a gentle shading technique that implants tiny pixels of color into the skin. This method is less invasive and causes less trauma than microblading, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily or mature skin.

Microblading, on the other hand, uses a handheld blade to create hair-like strokes. While it can look very natural initially, it is a more aggressive treatment that cuts into the skin, which can lead to more trauma, scarring, or uneven fading over time.

Does the procedure hurt?

Discomfort is usually minimal. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort during the session.

What is the healing process like?

Your brows will appear darker for the first few days, then soften as they heal. Mild flaking and dryness is expected as they heal. Full healing takes 7–14 days, with a touch-up session recommended after 6–8 weeks. Aftercare products and instructions are provided and must be followed precisely.

Who is a good candidate for powder brows?

Powder brows are ideal for clients with sparse brows, uneven brow shape, or those wanting a more defined look without daily makeup. This technique works well for all skin types — including oily or mature skin — and is especially beneficial for anyone who prefers a softer, shaded look.
