Everything You Need to Know About Ombré Powder Brows
LV Aesthetic does its utmost to be at the forefront of developments in aesthetics, so we can help you out with everything you need to know about ombré powder brows in Oakland. It’s just one of the brow-shaping procedures we offer at LV Aesthetic.
What Are Ombré Brows?
Ombré eyebrows are a semi-permanent method of filling in brows in order to perfect their shape. Skilled technicians can fill in the brows, creating a gradient effect. They use a machine to insert dots of pigment which create the appearance of a powder-like, shaded brow. The gradient starts light at the front of your brows and grows darker (more opaque) towards the ends. However, the opacity can vary according to the personal preference of the recipient. Styles can range from natural, soft and powdery to a full “makeup-look”.
The initial appointment for ombre/powder brows typically lasts anywhere from 3.5-4 hours. In the beginning of the appointment, all the measuring, mapping, pre-drawing and discussion is done prior to the actual treatment. Brows take an average of 4-6 weeks to heal. At the six week mark, you’ll come back in for your touch-up or perfecting session. This treatment lasts 1-1.5 hours on average. After you complete the two-part process, your ombre brows should last anywhere from 1-3 years. LV Aesthetic recommends that you come for an annual touch-up (yearly) to preserve the integrity of the shape and color. Brows may fade faster due to skin type and lifestyle.
Why Does Oakland Love Ombré Brows?
Oakland has a growing and deserved reputation for being fashion-forward. Our aesthetic trends influence the rest of the country and beyond. Why are so many Oakland residents choosing ombré brows?
Unlike microblading, ombré brows are a suitable option for oily or sensitive skin, meaning they’re more accessible to more people.
Fewer touch-up appointments are needed to help ombré brows bed in and last.
People seeking fuller, defined brows love the texture and look of ombré brows.
Differences Between Microbladed, Ombré, and Hybrid Brows
So what’s the difference between microblading, ombré, and hybrid brows?
Microblading requires the use of a manual tool that includes a precise configuration of needles at the end which make tattooed hairstrokes.
The ombré technique uses a rotary pen, also known as a cosmetic tattoo machine.
Hybrid brows, as you might expect, use both microblading and the powder technique. These are fully customizable, as with the ombré brows. They are the most popular option chosen at LV Aesthetic, and represent the best of both worlds. They’re suitable for practically every combination of skin type and tone.
