The major differences between Microstroking, Powder Brows, Ombre Brows & Combo Brows
Perfectly groomed eyebrows have an unmatched ability to enhance our facial features, frame our eyes as well as lift our face. It’s why eyebrow enhancement treatments like microblading, microstroking, ombre brows, ombre powder brows as well as combo brows are such big business today. But with so many brow enhancement treatments available today, choosing the right technique that will give you incredible brows can be confusing and frustrating. We would discuss all of these today which would also mark the differences between all of these methods.
The first and foremost thing that I should mention before discussing all these methods is that none of these methods is better when compared with each other. The method that is ideal for an individual depends on her skin type, personal style preference and coloring.
Method 1: Microstroking
Microstroking is a minimally invasive procedure whereby the pigment is implanted into the skin using a cosmetic tattooing machine with a single needle. This brow enhancement treatment has taken the beauty world by storm and is amazing for clients who have very oily or delicate skin. The microstroked brows appear to be very natural. If this is conducted by an experienced professional, every stroke appears to be like real hair.
The process will not hurt you. Most of the beauty salons apply a numbing cream prior the procedure to ease the pain significantly. The best thing about this treatment is that it is long-lasting. The results of this procedure last around 2-2.5 years on average, depending on your skin type & lifestyle.
Who should opt for this?
You can opt for this treatment if you:
- are not blessed with picture-perfect eyebrows
- want to get fuller, thicker, natural-looking eyebrows.
- want to enjoy physical activities without the fear of pigment sliding down your face.
- don’t want to waste your time trying to fill in your brows in order to make yourself look more attractive.
- don’t want to spend yearly on expensive eyebrow filling products.
Method 2: Powder Brows
Powder Brows, also known as Stardust Brows or Airbrushed brows, is a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that uses a digital machine to implant pigment into the skin and create a soft shaded brow pencil look. This amazing treatment is particularly recommended for women with oily skin or combination skin or anyone who fills in their brows regularly with pencil or shadow. Most of the beauty salons start with a pre-numb to lessen the pain and discomfort.
The general price range of powder brows usually depends on your location and can range anywhere from $500 to $1,000. This eyebrow treatment lasts longer than microstroking.
Who should opt for this?
You can opt for this technique if you:
- have combination or oily skin
- are tired of filling in your eyebrows every day
- want a little extra definition
Method 3: Ombre Brows
Ombre Brows is a is a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that gives a light to dark ombre effect, lighter at the bulb (front) of the eyebrow and going darker towards the tail. This brow style typically lasts a few years and works on most skin type. The retention will depend on your skin type, aftercare, lifestyle as well as internal healing.
Who should opt for this?
You can opt for this technique if you:
- already have thick brows but just want a little extra definition
- have oily skin
Method 4: Combo brows
Combo brows is a fair combination of two forms semi-permanent eyebrow styling techniques: Microstroking and Powder Brows. This is often considered to be the best method as this combines the goodness of both the above-discussed methods.
The right combination of powder fill and microstroked hair strokes gives an incredibly natural-looking eyebrow. This looks more defined as well as filled in.
Who should opt for this?
You can opt for this technique if you:
- have normal to moderately oily skin
- have sparse eyebrows
- have little to no hair
- you simply want to add definition to your eyebrows and arch.
