Powder Brows
Soft, powdery color, applied with a tattoo machine.
One technique, many names
“Powder brows,” “ombre brows,” “shading brows,” and “eyebrow powdering” are all names artists use for the same core technique: microshading. It’s applied with a tattoo machine rather than a hand tool, layering tiny dots of pigment to build soft, powdery definition. The result looks like your brows filled in with your favorite pencil or powder, not individual blade-cut hair strokes.
If you’ve researched microblading elsewhere: that technique uses a handheld blade to cut fine hair-stroke lines into the skin. We work exclusively in microshading, which tends to heal more evenly across a much wider range of skin types since it doesn’t rely on the skin holding a crisp cut line.
- Soft, “your-brows-but-better” powder finish
- Predictable healing on all skin types
- Fully customizable from soft wash of color to a defined, makeup-like brow
Who it’s great for
Clients with sparse, over-tweezed, or asymmetrical brows; every skin type, including oily and combination skin; anyone who prefers a softer, more filled-in look over crisp hair strokes; and clients touching up previous PMU work.
What to expect
A design conversation at the start of your appointment, numbing, and a procedure lasting roughly 2–2.5 hours. Brows will appear noticeably darker for several days before softening ~30–40% as they heal. A touch-up at 6–8 weeks is included.
