If you’ve started researching permanent makeup, you’ve probably come across lots of different names. Microblading. Nano Brows. Powder Brows. Ombre Brows. Combination Brows.
It’s no wonder so many people arrive at their consultation feeling confused.
The good news is that you don’t need to know which technique is right for you before you book.
That’s my job.
Why there are so many different permanent makeup techniques. Permanent makeup has evolved dramatically over the last decade.
Years ago, microblading was one of the most popular treatments available. Since then, newer techniques such as nano brows, powder brows and combination brows have become increasingly popular because they can offer different beneflts depending on the client.
Each technique creates a different flnish and performs differently depending on your skin type, lifestyle and desired look.
There isn’t one technique that’s best for everyone.
Why I don’t ask clients to choose their treatment
One of the questions I’m asked most often is:
“Should I book microblading or nano brows?”
My answer is always the same.
Don’t worry about choosing the treatment. Choose an experienced permanent makeup artist.
With over 12 years of experience in permanent makeup, I assess every client individually before recommending a treatment.
During your consultation I’ll look at:
- Your skin type.
- Your natural eyebrow hair.
- Any previous permanent makeup.
- Your lifestyle.
- How much makeup you normally wear.
- The look you’d like to achieve.
- Your long-term expectations.
Only then do I recommend the technique that I believe will give you the most natural, flattering and long-lasting result.
A quick guide to each technique
Microblading
Microblading uses a handheld tool to create flne hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs.
This can be a beautiful option for the right client, particularly those with suitable skin and a desire for a soft, natural flnish.
Nano Brows
Nano brows use a digital machine to create incredibly flne hairstrokes.
For many clients, nano brows provide excellent healed results and can be suitable for a wider range of skin types while still creating natural-looking eyebrows.
Powder Brows
Powder brows create a soft, shaded makeup effect.
They can be ideal for clients who prefer a more deflned flnish or who wear eyebrow makeup every day.
Combination Brows
Combination brows blend hairstrokes with soft shading to create natural deflnition while adding fullness.
For some clients, this offers the perfect balance between realism and density.
Which permanent makeup treatment is best?
There isn’t one correct answer.
The best treatment is the one that suits your skin, your features and your lifestyle.
Two people sitting next to each other could want exactly the same result but need completely different techniques to achieve it.
That’s why I never believe in a one-size-flts-all approach.
Why experience matters
Permanent makeup isn’t just about creating beautiful brows on the day of your appointment.
It’s about understanding how your skin will heal and choosing the technique that’s most likely to give you beautiful results for years to come.
Over the past 12 years I’ve continued to train in the latest permanent makeup techniques so I can recommend the best option for each individual client rather than limiting everyone to one treatment.
