The beauty industry is booming with new and improved techniques to make sure people can enhance their looks with quick treatments that mimic the effects of makeup. One such new fad is getting your eyebrows done to look like they are thicker and fuller. This way you don’t have to fill them in every day when doing your makeup and give you a more naturally beautiful look.
There are two popular ways for people to get their eyebrows enhanced - Microblading and Ombre Brows. Both of these processes have been there for a while and they each come with their own pros and cons, Depending on what kind of a final effect you are looking for, you can pick the process that suits you best.
Microblading - Microblading is a process that adds natural hair-like strokes with a pigment that helps in making the eyebrows fuller in a more organic way.
Ombre Brows - This process focuses on creating small dots of pigment to result in a powder-filled eyebrow, building color and defining the shape.
ombré brows Vs. microblading:
- Ombre brows have longer-lasting results with touch-ups required after 12 to 18 months as opposed to microblading that needs to be touched up every 10 months.
- More fuller and more defined brows that have a gradual build for all skin types when you get ombre brows. Microblading isn’t suitable for combination and oily skin as the results aren’t as good.
- Microblading has a more natural look as it mimics hair strokes, while ombre has a filled-in effect.
- Microblading blends better with existing hair than the ombre brows process does.
- The ombre brows process is less invasive and painful than microblading due to the difference in the technique of applying the pigment on the eyebrows.
At the end of the day, the choice depends on what kind of a look you are going for. While the beauty gurus seem to be leaning more towards Ombre Brows, there are people who still swear by Microblading. The balance lies in finding a good eyebrow technician who can help you in figuring out what is best for you and help you match the right color to your complexion.
Whichever process you choose to pick, make sure to do your research and find a salon or technician who has experience with what they are doing. This is important since there are no particular certifications or industry standards for these, and so you have to take safety in your own hands. There is no nightmare worse than badly done eyebrows
