The soft-shaded brow technique
Powder brows, also known as ombre or shaded brows, use a digital device to implant pigment in a series of tiny dots, creating a soft, even shading effect across the brow that mimics the look of brow powder or pomade.
The ombre effect is lighter at the front of the brow and gradually deepens towards the tail, creating a polished, defined look that suits virtually every face shape, and is particularly popular with clients who have oily skin or want results that outlast traditional microblading.
Powder brows suit you if you...
- Have oily or combination skin that holds hair-stroke pigment less well
- Love a soft, polished, powder-filled brow look
- Wanting the longest-lasting brow treatment available
- Dealing with sparse or patchy brows needing definition
- Living an active, sporty lifestyle including swimming

Common questions

Yes, powder brows are highly recommended for those with oily skin. The shading technique is more resilient to the effects of excess oil, making it a more suitable and longer-lasting option than microblading for this skin type.
Powder brows create a soft, diffused finish that mimics the look of brow powder or pomade. The ombre effect, lighter at the front and darker at the tail, gives a polished yet natural appearance.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients find powder brows comfortable throughout, reporting only a slight vibration or warmth from the digital device.
Your initial powder brows appointment takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours including consultation, brow mapping, numbing, treatment, and aftercare guidance.
