What is a powdered brow and how does it work?
In today’s day and age, it has become increasingly difficult to find the time for beauty upkeep. Powder brows are a great way of getting fuller eyebrows without having to spend hours at home trying out different shapes or styles with your makeup! Powdered brows give a softer, more natural look. It’s more defined than microblading and is ideal for creating depth and adding colour.

POWDER BROWS VS MICROBLADING
The microblading trend has been growing in popularity for over a decade and now it seems to be taking the cosmetics world by storm. While there are many similarities between powder brows and microblading, they offer distinct benefits that make them unique in their own right.
Microblading, for example, is the process of using a handheld device to create shallow incisions in the skin and then injecting ink into these slits to create lines that look like natural hairs. It’s ideal for filling-out existing brows and creating volume. Microblading also requires numbing cream or anesthetic before application so as not to experience any pain during treatment.
On the other hand, powder brows are a type of semi-permanent makeup technique, similar to microblading. Using a specialized machine, hundreds of tiny dots of pigment are placed under the skin. The effect is a soft yet full finish that looks like you’ve filled in your brows with powder and can last anywhere. But you don’t actually have to choose. Both methods can be combined called Combo Brows to create a custom look, fill in gaps, and add volume.
How To Get Powder Brows?
The procedure itself is pretty simple but the whole process can take up to two hours. Shaping your brows starts with an assessment. Our resident Brow specialist will sit down and personally assess your face shape to understand the best look for you.
Before your treatment, we’ll apply an anesthetic to the area to numb the skin before marking out the brow shape to make sure you’re totally happy with the placement and look. After this, we will begin a process of applying pigment to your eyebrows. You can lie back with the knowledge that our expert technicians are handling everything for you while making sure it all looks good.
After powder brows are applied, the skin is allowed to heal for up to three months. The treatment requires a touch-up procedure every six months until you’ve got your perfect shape and color.
What You Should Know Before Your Appointment
To make your appointment a happy one, it is best to take care of your skin in the weeks prior. You should avoid excessive sunlight or tanning beds and some types of treatments. Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before and any medication that might dry out the skin such as Accutane, Retin-A (Renova), Risperdal/Rispapinellum (Zytiga) etc.
After your treatment, you’ll have to carefully follow the aftercare instructions so that you can get natural-looking brows. This includes avoiding getting them wet for two weeks to ensure a lasting result! This might sound difficult, but your technician will give you tips so you can still shower and clean your face while keeping your brows dry.

How Long Will My Powder Brows Last?
Yes, a lot of maintenance and work goes into getting perfect brows. But the payoff is that they last for an extended period! Another perk with this technique is you can go in at any time to get your eyebrows touched up without having to worry about feeling self-conscious or wasting too much time removing makeup.
As opposed to microblading, because a pigment is placed deeper in the skin you can expect it will last much longer. In fact this type of brow technique could last up to three years (yes years) before needing an annual touch-up! All that’s needed for your powder eyebrows is one or two sessions every year and they’ll look just as amazing – if not better than ever with no need for any makeup application whatsoever!
It takes some effort but once all those hard hours are done – there’s nothing like waking up looking completely flawless every day no matter what mood you’re in Brows On Fleek!
