Ombre powder brows is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that gives the look of filled-in, shaded brows with a unique ombre effect. The average cost of the procedure is around $600, but it can go up to $1000 or higher. The ombre effect is achieved by dotting in a specific pattern, gradually increasing the dot saturation towards the tail, resulting in a more dramatic look compared to microblading. Before the procedure, it is recommended to avoid blood thinners, waxing, tanning, tinting, facials, peels, and facial injections for specific periods.
The aftercare ointment for ombre powder brows is crucial for providing moisturization and easing uncomfortable symptoms of healing. Good ingredients in the aftercare ointment include natural plant extracts, which provide deep hydration and soothe the skin. On the other hand, bad ingredients that could harm freshly done brows should be avoided.
Ombre brows offer several benefits, such as a more defined and polished look, making them ideal for individuals with active lifestyles or those who struggle to apply makeup. The procedure is also low maintenance, with touch-ups needed only once a year.
When it comes to brow pigments, there is a distinction between organic and inorganic pigments. Brows done with inorganic pigments can fade by 50-70% and leave behind a residual undertone of red/orange as the pigment breaks down. The choice of pigment type for touch-ups depends on the clients goal, with organic-based pigments offering more longevity and inorganic/iron oxide pigments providing more flexibility and fading.
