Powder brows, also known as ombre brows or shaded brows, are a semi-permanent makeup technique designed to create a soft, powdered effect that looks like eyebrow makeup (similar to what you’d achieve with brow pencil or powder). Here's a breakdown of what they are and what to expect:

🔍 What Are Powder Brows?

Technique: A tattooing method using a machine (not a manual tool like in microblading) to insert pigment into the skin with a dotting (pixelating) technique.

Look: The result is a soft, shaded brow with a gradient from lighter at the front of the brow to darker toward the tail—giving a fuller and more defined appearance.

Style: Ideal for a makeup-like finish—natural-looking but more defined than microblading.


🧑‍🦰 Who Are Powder Brows Best For?

People with oily or mature skin (microblading tends to blur or fade unevenly on these skin types). Those who regularly wear brow makeup and want a filled-in look.

People wanting longer-lasting results—typically 2–3 years

Permanent eyeliner (also called eyeliner tattoo or cosmetic eyeliner tattooing) is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that enhances the eyes by adding pigment along the lash line. It gives the appearance of defined, fuller lashes and a polished look—without the need to apply eyeliner daily.


---

👁️ What Is Permanent Eyeliner?

Technique: A digital tattooing machine is used to implant pigment into the skin of the lash line or eyelid.

Styles:

Lash enhancement: Very thin line placed right in the lash line for a natural, fuller lash look.

Classic eyeliner: A defined line along the top lash line, similar to traditional pencil or liquid liner.

Winged eyeliner: More dramatic, with a slight flick or extended tail.

Bottom liner (optional): A softer line along the lower lash line (less common due to sensitivity).




---

✅ Benefits:

Saves time on daily makeup.

Won’t smudge or run—sweat-proof, waterproof.

Suitable for those with makeup allergies or vision impairments.

Key Features:

One extension per natural lash

Enhances length, curl, and slight thickness

Ideal for clients with a good amount of natural lashes

Hybrid eyelash extensions are a blend of classic and volume lash techniques. This style combines single lash extensions (classic) with hand-made volume fans, giving a textured, wispy look that offers the best of both worlds — natural definition with added fullness.

Key Features:

Mix of 1:1 classic lashes and 2D–6D volume fans

Customizable balance between natural and dramatic

Ideal for clients wanting a soft, full lash line without being too bold


Benefits:

Adds definition and fluffiness

Great for clients with uneven lash lines or gaps

Versatile — can be styled to look natural or bold

A popular choice for first-time clients unsure between classic and volume

Hybrid Set

Volume Infill

Volume eyelash extensions are a type of eyelash extension technique where multiple lightweight lash extensions (usually 2 to 6) are hand-made into a fan shape and applied to one natural lash. This method creates a fuller, fluffier, and more dramatic look compared to classic extensions, which use one extension per natural lash.

Key Features:

2D–6D volume fans (2 to 6 lashes per fan)

Ultra-lightweight lashes to avoid damaging the natural lashes

Ideal for sparse or thin natural lashes

Great for clients wanting a glamorous or bold lash look


Benefits:

Adds density and volume without feeling heavy

Can be customized for a natural or dramatic effect

Enhances the shape and definition of the eyes

Long-lasting with proper aftercare
