Ombre Powder Brows FAQs
What is Ombre Powder Brows?
Ombré powder brows is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that creates a soft, shaded look resembling a natural brow filled with makeup. Ombré brows are achieved by depositing tiny dots of pigment into the skin, creating a gradient effect—darker at the tail and lighter at the front. This method is suitable for most skin types and is less invasive, providing a fuller, more defined look that mimics the appearance of powdered or filled-in brows.
How long does it last?
Ombre Powder Brows last 1 - 3 years depending on skin type, after-care, sun exposure and lifestyle.
Does it Hurt?
The pain is minimal to mild. We use a topical anesthetic therefore pain is minimized, however every client is different. More numbing can always be applied if needed.
