Permanent Makeup For Brows

  • Selecting a Style.

    There are many factors to consider when selecting the most flattering brow for you.  A great place for me to start is to understand what you would like to achieve and don't worry if you aren’t sure, you relax as you are in safe hands. I have plenty of clients say “you are the expert, you tell me what you think” and I enjoy getting the chance to share my knowledge. So what aspects do I consider?

  • Symmetry and Adjustment.

    Looking at your brows holistically is a great place for me to start. I look at what would be the best colour and shape for you. I note what is your hair growth pattern and if there are any sparse areas. I carefully measure to understand the symmetry between your brows and what needs adjusting. Sometimes a dramatic difference can be achieved just by improving how and where brow starts and ends, it helps to avoid having either a sad or angry expression.

  • Style and Lifestyle.

    It is also key to consider other contributing factors. I into account taking your lifestyle, your own personal style, your colouring and level of contrast and importantly how your features work together on your face.  Brows frame your eyes but also your overall face.

A detailed consultation helps my clients to select the best brow treatment for them.

Brow Treatments

  • Powder brows

    Powder brows are a very popular permanent makeup technique created by using the tattoo machine to layer soft pixels of colour into the skin. Powder brows are a beautiful and flexible type of tattooing and in the right hands can be adapted to create a variety of effects.

    As required, powder brows can improve the overall shape of the brow, add fullness, add depth of colour and also increase the length. Here are some examples of what can be achieved.

    I can apply the powder effect very delicately and subtly. This works particularly well on my blonde clients and those with silver, red or white hair, or darker haired clients who suit a very natural result.

    In contrast, I can add further shading to create a block brow which is a more defined brow. This is perfect for those who suit a more dramatic effect.

    It can also suit clients to have an ombre effect, so the front of the brow is lighter and more subtle compared to the body and tail of the brow.

    Powder brows can be used in combination with microblading, often referred to as “combination brows” or “blade and shade”. Some clients will better suit having both effects, I will be able to advise. Combination brows provides clients with the benefit of both the soft powdered pixels as well as the realistic microbladed hair strokes.

    Powder brows are £250 which includes the initial treatment session and top up session 6 weeks later where any refinements are made.

  • Microblading

    Microblading remains to be one one of the most popular permanent makeup treatments available and with good reason. It is achieved using a hand-held tool which is used to create very realistic hair-like strokes. These strokes can be so realistic, it can be very hard to tell which are real hairs and which ones are in fact microbladed. In the right hands, it should be a reasonably comfortable and relaxing treatment.

    Like with powder brows, I can use the microblade to achieve different results and as required can improve the overall shape of the brow, add fullness, add depth of colour and also increase the length.

    Microblading can be perfect for someone who has no brow hair at all, or has sparse or patchy brows helping those of us who want to return our brows back to their former glory.

    It is important to note that not all skin types are suitable for microblading, e.g. the hair strokes placed into oilier skin do not heal as crisply or last as long. It can help to combine microblading with the powder brow treatment so you still can benefit from the textured look of real hairs that the microblading still can provide and any lack of crispness is concealed by the powdered effect. I will be able to advise you at your free consultation.

    Microblading is £250 which includes the initial treatment session and top up session 6 weeks later where any refinements are made.

  • Combination brows

    Combination brows, also referred to as “blade and shade”, are created using a combination of both microblading and the powder technique. Both modalities implant pigment into the skin but microblading is achieved using a handheld tool and the powder brow technique is done by implanting tiny pixels of pigment to create a shaded effect.

    Combination brows are a popular treatment and can be delivered by permanent artists who are trained in both the microblading and machine shading. I can use the microblade and machine together to achieve a variety of different effects and as required can improve the overall shape of the brow, add fullness, add depth of colour and also increase the length.

    Combination brows are a lovely option and very popular with my clients. Combination brows are particularly suited to a client who has no brow hair at all, has sparse or patchy brows or oilier skin.

    Combination brows are £300 which includes the initial treatment session and top up session 6 weeks later where any refinements are made.

What brows might suit me?

Some client scenarios

  • Powder brows

    Do your brows need more shape? Do your brows have sparse areas? Would you like more definition and for your brows to better frame your eyes? Powder brows can work wonders for all of these needs. My client wanted her brows to be a little more defined and to address some sparse areas. I used the machine to create a soft powdered effect and she was delighted with the result. Powder brows suit all skin types and ages and are flattering for all. I will be able to advise you what will be most flattering and effective at your free consultation.

  • Microblading

    Are your eyebrows non-existent, thin or very sparse? Or do you want fuller and thicker brows and enjoy the look of realistic hair strokes? Microblading is a beautiful modality achieved using a handheld tool and can achieve a number of effects. This client wanted a slim and subtle brow and to return them to how they previously looked. She wanted a very subtle colour that suited her hair tone and complexion. The outcome was very natural and subtle and just what she had asked for. Her immediate reaction when I revealed them was “This is how they used to look!”. Microblading on it’s own is not suited to oily skin types and powder or combination brows are a better option. I can best advise you at your free consultation.

  • Combination brows

    Do you have brows with large sparse gaps? Combination brows are perfect for adding the missing depth, definition and filling out the shape. I will bespoke your combination brows to most flatter you, whether it be a light and airy effect or something more dramatic. For this client I thickened the tail and the body of her brow using the machine to create a powdered effect. I microbladed fine hair strokes at the front of the brow and added powder shading on top to make her brows appear closer together for a more flattering effect. She was delighted with the way her brows framed her eyes. Combination brows suit most skin types and I will be able to advise you what will suit you best at your free consultation.
