What is Microshading?

​

Unlike microblading, microshading does not tattoo full strokes along the browline, but rather small points to “shade” in sparse areas. Instead of creating the illusion of individual hairs, microshading fills in the entire brow with light pigmentation through the use of a fine-tipped needle or many needles assorted into a rounded-like shape for shading larger areas.

​

Can microblading and microshading be combined?

​

The two techniques can also be combined to get the best of both worlds. The front of the brow would be microbladed strokes while the remainder of the brow from the bulb area to the tail will be shaded.

​

What are the results?

​

The results will not appear to be individual eyebrow hairs, but rather a shading that more closely resembles penciling or powdering your brows with makeup. Microshading provides more of an airbrushed and powdered brow look.

​

Brows will appear extra bold following the appointment, but “the color will soften approximately 30 percent over the following 14 days. Depending on your skin type, the results can last between one to one and a half years. (Oily skin types may need a touchup sooner than drier skin types.)
