Ombre Powder Brows
Are you ready to transform your eyebrows? Ombré Powder Brows is the least invasive method to achieve soft, natural and fuller-looking eyebrows that lasts for more than 12 months. With this technique, the front of the eyebrows is softly shaded lighter, gradually becoming darker towards the ends. This creates a beautiful gradient effect for a natural look.
Ombré Powder Brows fade over time. To maintain the shape and color, we recommend a touch-up session between 1.5 to 2 years.
Powder Brows is the solution to all your brow problems.
ombre powder brows are perfect for you if…
You overplucked your eyebrows in the early 2000s thinking they’d grow back... and they didn’t - yup this was me.
You spend more time trying to make your eyebrows symmetrical than you do eating breakfast in the morning.
You have an active lifestyle and want to look “on fleek” without worrying about smudging or reapplying makeup.
Your brows have thinned out so much with age that they’re practically whispering "remember when?"
You have naturally thin or sparse brows, whether due to genetics, aging, or medical conditions like alopecia.
You simply LOVE the look of powder brows and are ready to treat yourself!

The appointment process
Step 1: Shaping
After discussing your personal preferences and wishes, we’ll start shaping your eyebrows. We’ll measure certain points that will create the best shape for your eyebrows and face. This will also allow us to correct asymmetry and create balance. Your brow shape will largely be determined by your existing brow shape, facial bone and muscle structure. Only after you are fully satisfied with the shape, will we continue onto the next step.
Please, avoid threading, waxing and plucking your eyebrows for at least two weeks before the appointment.
Step 2: Color choice
A variety of pigment colors will be shown and discussed. Together, we will choose a color that will match your hair, skin color and eyebrow hair color best.
Step 3: Shading
With a permanent makeup machine, tiny dots of pigment are applied to create a soft powder effect. The treatment lasts about 2 hours and is almost completely painless. Once done, we will go over the aftercare instructions and products to use.
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a machine tattooing technique in which pigment is deposited into the skin’s first layer. This layer renews itself constantly, which makes the pigment fade with time. The speed in which it fades depends on age, skin type and lifestyle choice but on average we recommend a touchup between 1.5 to 2 years to maintain the desired effect.
Ombré Powder Brows are low maintenance but not maintenance-free. This means that unwanted hairs would still need to be waxed/plucked to maintain the shape of the eyebrows. Tinting is recommended if you have very light/grey eyebrow hairs.
What is (semi) permanent makeup?
Proper aftercare is essential for a beautiful final result. By following the provided aftercare instructions you ensure the best possible healing, and prevent complications such as an infection. After the treatment, you might experience redness and sensitivity on the treated area. This will subside within 24 hours.
Your eyebrows will go through a healing process for about 4-6 weeks. The process is completely normal. Powder Brows are semi permanent and is intended to fade over time. Some skin types fade quicker than others. Ombre Powder Brows can fade up to 70% after the initial treatment.
The first 2-4 days they can appear darker because of dried pigment and scabbing. After the scabs are off, they’ll look lighter and sometimes patchy. At week 3-4 the color starts to come back and at the end of week 4-6 you can see the final result of the first treatment. Sometimes one treatment is enough but oftentimes a second treatment is needed to perfect the shape and color.
All aftercare instructions and products will be given to you at the end of your appointment.

faqs
-
Ombre Powder Brows are suitable for everyone aged 18 and older. This type of permanent makeup (PMU) is suitable for all skin types: normal, oily, dry, sensitive, combination, and mature skin.
-
My main issue with microblading is that it cuts into the skin in order to deposit pigment and that it is not suitable for most skin types. It is simply not suitable for people with sensitive skin and large pores/oily skin, which is the majority of us. In almost all cases that I have seen, the strokes from microblading are cut too deep and become blurred. If you want strokes I would recommend Nano. Powder Brows also looks so much better long term and fade better over time.
-
They are both methods of PMU but the method of how they are applied is very different. Microblading uses a blade to create hair-like strokes. Powder brows uses a needle to create tiny dots (pixels) to create a powdery effect. Just like a regular makeup pencil, except a lot softer.
-
Yes. However, you need to book a free consultation prior. That is because this treatment is a more extensive process. I would need to know the color you would like to achieve and we would therefore need to discuss the process.
-
The lips are a naturally sensitive area, so it is normal to worry whether lip blushing will hurt. Fortunately, I use a very gentle technique. Most clients describe minimal to no pain at all.
-
PMU is safe as long as you do not have any contraindications, which can be found on the permanent makeup information page. Additionally, we follow strict guidelines, and our practice is certified by the Health Department of Northwest Michigan.
-
Not always, but I do recommend to check if it’s needed after 12-18 months.
-
Yes, of course. Permanent makeup is an enhancement of your natural features. PMU makes your daily routine a lot quicker and easier but if you want a bold, colorful look you can still wear regular makeup.
-
Yes, you can. However, there must be at least a 2-week gap between your last Botox or filler treatment and the PMU procedure.
-
Permanent makeup is also referred to as semi-permanent makeup. While PMU has a long-lasting effect, it gradually fades over time. It is not 100% permanent like a traditional tattoo. As the skin exfoliates, the pigment fades gradually. Therefore, it is recommended to schedule an annual touch-up treatment.
