Eyebrow microblading

Permanent eyebrow makeup is changing and improving. The procedures themselves become more comfortable, and the result is more natural and of high quality. If earlier eyebrows made in a tattoo parlor were visible from afar, now they can be created so skillfully that they can be distinguished from real ones only upon very close examination. It all depends on the level of the master, technique and quality of the material. For microblading, or the manual method of tattooing that we are talking about, skill and experience play a very important role¹. Let’s talk about this procedure in more detail.

What is eyebrow microblading

Literally translated from English, microblading means “tiny blade”, which explains the essence. Permanent eyebrow makeup in this technique is performed not with a tattoo machine, but with a miniature blade. More precisely, it is a bundle of ultrathin needles. The nozzle with these needles is inserted into the maniple – a small tool resembling a pen for writing. With this “handle” the master makes stroke after stroke of micro-cuts through which the pigment is introduced. The paint penetrates only into the upper layers of the epidermis. An experienced master can create fine hairs of different lengths, and the result is as natural as possible.

Interesting Facts About Eyebrow Microblading

Benefits of microblading eyebrows

With the help of microblading, you can make beautiful eyebrows without painting them completely – when there are gaps in some place or the arcs are not thick enough. That is, locally draw hairs, thicken, even out asymmetry, give them an ideal shape, masking scars, scars and the absence of eyebrows.

Eyebrows look natural. There are many color options. Recovery is fast.

Cons of microblading

The biggest disadvantage is insufficiently experienced craftsmen who immediately take up this technique. Yes, it is more budgetary in terms of equipment, but for a good result it requires a lot of practical experience and knowledge. The pigment should be injected at the same depth, without drops. If you enter too small – the pigment will peel off along with the crust after healing, and too deep, into the lower layers of the dermis – the color will be too dense and dark. Experienced masters who have mastered classic tattooing before microblading have their hands full, and they work smoothly with a maniple. But for beginners who decide to immediately work with microblading, it doesn’t work right away. As a result, uneven coloring is visible, the eyebrows will look unattractive, they may irretrievably lose some of their hairs.

Consequences of microblading

The procedure at first glance is not too traumatic, healing occurs mostly without any problems. But there are long-term consequences that can be food for thought when choosing this tattoo technique:

• When the pigment comes off, thin scars are exposed. If the effect of thick eyebrows is achieved, there may be a lot of scars, and the skin will no longer be perfectly smooth as it was before the procedure.
• During the procedure, the hair follicles can be injured, which will stop the growth of hairs. In some places, voids form on the eyebrows.

Eyebrow microblading reviews

Svetlana Khukhlyndina, master teacher of permanent make-up:

Microblading, or as I also call it, a manual tattoo method, requires great skill and experience. This technique is not suitable for beginners who do not yet feel the skin well enough. But, alas, some are taken, and the result is deplorable: somewhere the pigment came from, somewhere not, there may be spots and even scars. Then you need to clean it all with a laser and block it.

In general, microblading was invented for Asian skin, which is denser than ours. Therefore, on light thin skin, it does not heal so well and does not look so good, the pigment lies deeper than necessary.

At one time, there was a real boom in microblading – and the effect is more natural immediately after the procedure, and the eyebrow is more beautiful, and the manipulator pen is cheaper than a traditional tattoo machine.

Then all the minuses were discovered, and this method began to be treated more carefully. Laying the hair to the hair shallowly, at the same level is more difficult than shading with a machine. Somewhere I pressed harder, somewhere softer – and it turns out that the fresh drawing seems to be beautiful, but the healed eyebrows are not very good.

But in skillful hands, microblading can really achieve a good effect.
