1. Microblading
If you’re aiming for a fuller, deeper brow look that has a more noticeable change, consider microblading.
This brow technique is all about creating the best shape for your face, with up to 12 tiny needles that can tattoo the skin with medical-grade pigments. The area is cleaned, numbed with a topical ointment, threaded, and prepared for treatment. After the needling strokes and overall procedure, you’ll need to return every 6-8 weeks to top up any gaps that the pigment hasn’t reached.
Micro-blading will last 12-18 months typically, but it really depends on your skin type. Don’t stress, this isn’t a painful process and you’ll look fabulous!
2. Micro-feathering
Do you adore a more natural brow look? Micro-feathering is a microblading brow technique that can help fill out full brows if you’re looking for more definition. As a softer and more subtle form of brow tattooing, tiny incisions are made with safe semi-permanent pigments to add minimal natural hair to your own.
But we have bad news for our girls with oily skin, as sometimes these pigments can get rejected, so you’ll need follow-up appointments to make sure everything is in place. Likewise, if you have sensitive skin, keep in mind you could experience redness, irritation, dermatitis, and a higher chance of skin taking longer to heal.
Whichever your skin type may be, consult a micro feathering professional for advice regarding post-treatment and proper beauty care.
3. Plucking
Plucking individual brow hairs is a technique used by many, but it’s important to know how to do it properly. As it’s more time-consuming than other brow techniques, so you need to be more careful.
Choose a pair of tweezers that won’t slide or break the hair, decide on the shape of your brows, and cleanse your face to help with the plucking process.
Start by tweezing the arches of your brow, pulling in the direction of the hair growth, and removing the darker hairs first. Pluck out hairs in between both of your brows, and with the remaining top hairs, only take fine hair outside your desired shape. It’s quick and easy.
4. Waxing
Waxing is the most common way to remove hair from brows. Whether you want to use a home waxing kit or seek a beautician, waxing can stunt hair growth a lot longer than plucking.
With a pre-wax cleanser, wax warmer, applicators or strips, aftercare lotion, and cream wax, you’ll have everything you need to achieve salon-quality eyebrows from the comfort of your home.
Simply prep the brows by cleansing them, heat the wax to a honey-like consistency, apply the wax with a wooden stick to your brow as desired, pull the skin tight, then rip in the direction of the hair. Remove any residue of wax with face oil.
5. Sugaring
Want to delve into the more traditional route of hair removal and prefer natural ingredients? Sugaring takes hair from the roots, just like waxing, but it is a paste made from sugar, water, and lemon.
Not only is sugaring great for exfoliating away dead skin cells, but it’s also a great option if you have sensitive skin. This process can also soften the skin instead of irritating it, so if you’re planning a wedding, consider sugaring the day before for your makeup to apply smoothly.
6. Combination Brows
Desiring to add definition to your brows for your next gathering with friends? Try out the micro blading and shading techniques.
If you have an oilier skin type, this technique can help your brows look greater for longer. You can also create the illusion of eyebrow hairs, the choice of an ombre effect, and an overall mimic soft makeup look. In this case, two techniques are better than one.
7. Tinting
Love your eyebrows the way they are and just want to enhance them? Tinting involves a semi-permanent dye to help darken fine hairs, increasing their width.
Better yet, it lasts up to 12 weeks, so this is a fast and easy way to achieve a gorgeous effect before your spontaneous holiday.
Choose a Brow Technique To Suit You
Whether you want your brows sharp, straight, rounded, or flat, you can find a brow technique that complements your face shape. Go for a brow opposite your face shape, and you’ll be on your way to beating the next brow trend.
