Meet microblading’s softer, gentler sister.
If you are familiar with microblading, the semi-permanent tattoo technique used to create the illusion of more lush, natural-looking brows. But unlike microblading, in which strokes are tattooed along the browline to mimic the look of hairs, microshading may be even more discreet—although the process is nearly identical.
Unlike microblading, microshading does not tattoo full strokes along the browline, but rather small points to “shade” in sparse areas. Instead of creating the illusion of individual hairs, microshading fills in the entire brow with light pigmentation through the use of a fine tipped needle
The results will not appear to be individual eyebrow hairs, but rather a shading that more closely resembles penciling or powdering your brows with makeup, who adds that microshading provides for a more airbrushed and powdered brow look. Brows will appear extra bold following the appointment, but “the color will soften approximately 30 percent over the following 14 days. Depending on your skin type, the results can last between one to one and a half years. (Oily skin types may need a touchup sooner than drier skin types.)
