Powder brows are a semi-permanent makeup treatment for eyebrows that give a filled-in, shaded look to the brows. The procedure involves dotting or pixelization, and it can create different effects, such as ombre or bold brows. The cost of the procedure can range from $600 to $1000, depending on the artist and location. Powder brows are suitable for any skin type, and they can last longer than microblading. However, some pre-existing health conditions, such as diabetes, active cancer, pregnancy, a history of keloids, or hypertrophic scarring, can make the procedure impossible.
The pigments used in powder brows can be organic or inorganic, and they can have different undertones and residual colors. The MSDS sheet or the label of a pigment bottle can provide information about the pigment particle composition and ingredients. Organic particles are bright, quick to implant, and long-lasting, while inorganic particles are more earthy and may require a few layers to achieve the desired color. Brows done with organic-based pigments will require the use of organic-based pigments again for staying power and coverage, while brows done with inorganic/iron oxide pigments can be redone with either organic-based or inorganic/iron oxide-based pigments, depending on the clients goal.
Positive aspects of powder brows include their suitability for any skin type, their longevity, and the fact that they can create different effects. Negative aspects can include the possibility of contraindications due to pre-existing health conditions.
In summary, powder brows are a semi-permanent makeup treatment for eyebrows that can create a filled-in, shaded look. The procedure involves dotting or pixelization, and it can create different effects, such as ombre or bold brows.
