OMBRE POWDER BROWS
Ombre powder brows is a method of brow tattoo where dots of pigment are inserted into the skin, building up to create a powdery yet defined shape. The pigment can be controlled with less density for a more natural look or more density for a bolder look.
This technique is suitable for all skin types.

— For your appointment, come in with how you would do your eyebrow makeup on (If you normally do them, otherwise you don't need to!)
The Healing Process
After your appointment, your brows will go through different healing stages and appear darker as they heal. The pigment will settle over time, and the color will soften to its final shade. While your brows may appear a bit darker and slightly discolored, there is no down time during the healing process!
Days 1-10: Your brows will appear 30-50% darker than the final result. Some light peeling may occur as the skin begins to shed.
Days 11-15: More noticeable peeling and flaking will happen during this phase. It's important not to pick at or scratch the brows, as this can affect the healing process and final result. Healing ointment is provided for you in an after care bag.
Days 16-30: The color will continue to soften, and your brows should settle into their final shade. The fading effect will become more evident, with the ombre transition becoming smoother.
Proper aftercare is critical to ensure that the pigment heals correctly. Avoid direct moisture, sun exposure, excessive sweating, and any facial products that might irritate the treated area during the healing period. Additionally, you may need to come back for a touch-up appointment around 4-6 weeks after your initial session to address any areas where the pigment may have faded or shifted during healing.
After Your Appointment
— NO touching, rubbing, or picking at the area. This helps prevent infection.
— NO make up on the brows for the first 7-10 days
— NO saunas, swimming, jacuzzis, animal contact, direct sun exposure, gardening
— NO AHA’s, glycolic / lactic acids, retinol, etc. on the treated area
— NO antibiotics or steroid medication 1 week prior (and cannot be taking any during healing process- 2 weeks)
An aftercare bag will be given to you after your appointment-
— Use aftercare ointment once peeling occurs (if needed) to help with peeling
— Use shower visors provided to help shield your brows of moisture when showering
— You can take an ibuprofen or advil to help with any soreness/discomfort that may occur, but will settle over a few hours.
Touch-Ups & Long-Term Care
Permanent makeup can last 1-3 years, but to maintain the perfect shape and color, a touch-up is generally recommended 6-8 weeks after your initial session. This allows us to refresh the pigment and ensure consistent coverage. Touch-ups are typically quicker than the first session and help keep your brows looking fresh and defined.
If you notice fading or areas where the pigment didn’t take as well, a touch-up is a good idea to maintain the vibrancy and shape.
By following these aftercare instructions, you’ll enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results!
