SHADING/OMBRE

Ombre brows involve depositing pigment to create a soft, gradient effect from light to darker.  This technique typically involves lighter pigment at the front of the brow and gradually darkening towards the arch and tail, resembling the look of a hair coloring.  

Powder/Shading is a similar technique the Ombre brows, but without the lightening of color towards the bridge of the nose.

OMBRE BROWS TOUCH-UP

An Ombre touch-up is of paramount importance to maintain the desired look and longevity of the brows. It allows for any fading or unevenness in the ombre shading to be addressed and corrected. This touch-up ensures that the brows maintain their desired color intensity and overall shape, resulting in a more polished and refined appearance. 

A powder/shading/Ombre brow treatment typically takes around 1.5 to 3 hours to complete the initial procedure. The length of time for a powder/shading/Ombre brow treatment can vary depending on several factors, including the specific techniques used, the client’s natural brow condition, and the overall condition or age of the clients skin.

Overall, powder, shading, or ombre brows offer a versatile and effective solution for enhancing the appearance of eyebrows, providing defined, natural-looking results that can last for an extended period with proper care and maintenance.

Powder, shading, or ombre brows can be customized to achieve various styles and intensities, ranging from natural and subtle looks to more bold and defined brows. The technique can be tailored to suit the client’s preferences and desired aesthetic so please be sure to communicate fully to your artist

In some cases, the pigment used in powder, shading, or ombre brows may migrate or fade over time, resulting in blurred edges or a change in the eyebrow’s shape. Proper technique and aftercare can help minimize this risk, but touch-up sessions may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance.

FAQS ABOUT SHADING/OMBRE BROWS

CAN I HAVE THIS PROCEDURE DONE WHILE I’M PREGNANT?

Although it is not a Law in Florida, it is generally not recommended to undergo permanent makeup procedures while pregnant. Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy hormones can affect the skin’s sensitivity and healing process. Changes in hormone levels may impact how the body reacts to the pigments used in permanent makeup, potentially leading to unexpected outcomes or complications.

WHO IS NOT IDEAL FOR THIS PROCEDURE?

Recent Eye Surgery or Eye Conditions: Individuals who have had recent eye surgeries or who have certain eye conditions may not be suitable candidates for brow procedures. This includes conditions such as glaucoma, uveitis, or ocular hypertension, where any procedure near the eye area may pose risks to eye health.

Nanoblading (Nano Brows) is a very versatile method of cosmetic tattooing. Any skin type can benefit from it. With the Nano technique even those with oily skin can have a fully hair stroked brow.

HOW LONG DOES SHADING/OMBRE TAKE?

Around 2 to 3 hours to complete. The duration of the procedure may also depend on the complexity of the design, the amount of pigment applied, and the client’s pain tolerance.

IS SHADING/OMBRE PAINFUL?

 Individuals have different pain thresholds, so what one person finds painful may be tolerable or even comfortable for another. We apply a topical numbing cream to the brow area before the procedure. This helps minimize discomfort during the process. The effectiveness of the numbing cream can vary, but it generally helps to reduce pain.

WILL I STILL HAVE TO WAX OR TWEEZE MY BROWS?

When waxing or tweezing around PMU-treated areas, it’s essential to be gentle to avoid disrupting the pigment or causing irritation to the skin. Use caution and avoid applying excessive pressure or pulling on the skin.
