Different techniques of permanent eyebrow tattoo in Ware Hertfordshire

Permanent eyebrow makeup can be done by using different tools and different techniques. Some clients may be overwhelmed, not knowing what style to choose or what kind of brows would suit them and be appropriate for their skin type.
When we hear semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow tattoo and think of how they were performed 20 years ago, we may get a little afraid.

Blunt shapes, block and strong lines, square brow fronts – this is what a lot of people see when they hear permanent makeup or permanent brows.

You can still see plenty of these brows “walking around”. Yes, we all have seen someone who had “permanent marker” brows.
But the world of semi-permanent make-up has evolved greatly, very dark, blue and blunt marker-type brows are left in the past.
Here at Beauty Bar in Ware Hertfordshire we create nice, soft and delicate, very natural-looking permanent makeup, that is almost undetectable once healed.

How do you know what technique is good for you, or which style?

There are so many to choose from.

We focus on the three most popular permanent eyebrow makeup techniques, each of these styles look very natural. The most popular, which is also our favourite – is the soft powder technique, then hair stroke method or otherwise known as the digital microblading, and for those who like a little stronger makeup effect – ombre brow technique.

Hair stroke eyebrows.

Hair strokes or digital microblading – this method of permanent eyebrow makeup is not for everyone. It is only suitable for those with normal or dry skin types, oily or combination skin isn’t suitable for this technique.

In oily and combination skin – strokes will blur when healed and no longer resemble the real hairs. They look wishy washy and thicker, and eventually the strokes will blend into each other.
We always advise during the consultation that clients with combination or oily skin to opt for a different type of eyebrows, as they won’t achieve nice results from hairstrokes. Digital microblading (machine method) when compared to classic microblading (manual technique) lasts longer. If it’s done on the appropriate skin type (normal or dry), it will last 2-5 years, compared to the classic microblading that only lasts approximately 6-12months.
This method gives the look of natural hair strokes, or how some call it the brush strokes. This technique will look most natural when created on clients with existing brow hairs that are quite fine. It can be nicely blended in together. If a client doesn’t have any own brow hairs, we suggest combining this technique with powder shading, as the soft powder can add the subtle “shadow” that is usually cast by the natural hairs, giving it the 3d look. If you think of it, the added shadow tattoo will make the brows look more realistic. The combination technique is still not available for oily or combination skin.

The way we create hair strokes at Beauty Bar Ware Hertfordshire are very natural, each hair is of different length, flows and fits in with the natural hairs. If you are looking for blunt and square, uniformed brows that look unnatural, then I’m afraid we would not be able to meet your expectations.

Powder eyebrows.

Powder method – I must say it is the most popular type of semi-permanent eyebrows. Beautifully natural, this is suitable for most skin types, even oily skin. This method can create such natural and delicate brows that everyone will just keep guessing if these are naturally yours or not. The density of powder can be as soft or as strong as you wish, depending on your expectations, your hair density and colour. The fronts of the brows can be slanted, rounded, or gradually fading, to create a softer and more natural look. Powder brows also last between 2-5 years.
We are often asked by blonde clients if we can give them natural-looking blonde brows. Of course, we mix the colour of the pigment individually for each client, the colour perfectly matches the colour of their hairs. That applies to every technique of eyebrows regardless.

Ombre eyebrows.

Ombre semi-permanent makeup – this technique gives the look of make-up; the brows are gradually softer at the front of the brow and then get stronger and sharper as it gets to the body and tail of the brows. We recommend this technique to younger clients or those who wear full makeup on daily basis. The colour again is perfectly matched to the client’s natural hair for a perfect blend, and this technique also lasts 2-5 years. This method is suitable for all skin types.

Semi-permanent makeup and conventional makeup will have one main difference. Where with the normal makeup you can choose any colour, even very dark, we would never pick pigment colour that is too dark for your eyebrow hair or skin tone, This pigment would very quickly turn ashy after healing. You have probably seen someone with bluish-looking brows, this can happen when pigment is implanted too deep, or the colour is too dark for a client’s tones.

What do you need to know

Every new set of brows will look darker and bolder for the first couple of days, as the pigment oxidizes. This is completely normal, and there is nothing to worry about. The colour will start to lighten as the brows are healing, and the final result will be seen at 4-6 weeks after the procedure. At Beauty Bar in Ware Hertfordshire we work very light and gentle without using too much pressure or causing bleeding. Because of this we cause no scabbing at all during the healing process. Your eyebrows will only gently flake off.
