Is this treatment right for me?

What this service offers
Soft, Natural Ombré Gradient
Creates an airy, misty front bulb that transitions smoothly into a rich tail, ensuring brows look soft in person and flawless in photos.
Gentle & Less Invasive Technique
Causes significantly less skin trauma than microblading blades, leading to faster healing and long-term color stability without scar tissue.
2 to 3 Years of Low-Maintenance Beauty
Fades gradually and evenly over time, saving hours of daily makeup application while preserving your natural brow shape.
What to expect
Agree shape, colour and placement
Review the proposed brow, lip or eyeliner design before pigment is applied, and discuss how it may change over time.
Check hygiene and consent
Permanent makeup is a tattoo procedure. Confirm clean equipment, pigment information and how infection or an allergic reaction will be managed.
Plan healing and review
Obtain the area-specific cleaning routine and discuss whether and when a review or touch-up is appropriate.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Tell the practitioner about previous permanent makeup, ink reactions and relevant skin conditions.
- For lip work, mention cold sores; for eyeliner, mention eye symptoms and contact lenses so the practitioner can advise.
After your appointment
- Follow the artist’s cleaning instructions and do not pick healing skin or apply unapproved products over it.
- Worsening redness, swelling or discharge needs assessment. Eye pain or vision changes after eyeliner work require prompt medical attention.

FAQs
What is the difference between Powder Pixel Brows and Microblading?
Microblading uses a manual blade to slice micro-cuts into the skin, simulating individual hair strokes. Powder Pixel Brows use a digital machine needle to deposit tiny dots of shade, resulting in a soft, powdered makeup look that lasts longer and works on all skin types (especially oily skin).
Are Powder Pixel Brows painful?
Most clients experience minimal discomfort and compare the feeling to an electric toothbrush vibrating against the skin or a light scratch. We apply medical-grade topical numbing creams before and during the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable throughout.
How long do Powder Pixel Brows last?
Powder Pixel Brows typically last 2 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Annual color boosts are recommended to keep the shade fresh and vibrant.
What is the healing process like for powder brows?
Initial healing takes 7 to 14 days. Brows will appear bolder and darker for the first 3–5 days before light flaking occurs. Once flaking ends, the pigment will temporarily appear lighter before rising back to its soft, final healed tone over 4 to 6 weeks.
Is a touch-up session required after the initial treatment?
Yes, a 6-week perfecting touch-up session is recommended. Permanent makeup is a two-step process: the touch-up allows us to fill any light patches, refine shape symmetry, and adjust shade density once your skin fully heals.
