TOUCH OF BROWS

Microblading is a form of cosmetic permanent makeup. This technique is perform using a manual diposable handheld tool, compose of microfine needles, to implant the pigment into the skin. This particular 3D effect creates a natural feathering of hairlike strokes which seamlessly blends with the client's exisiting brows to add color and fullness, resulting in a very natural look.

Microblading is ideal for clients who have light, thin, or uneven eyebrows and would like to bring balance and fullness to their eyebrows with the most natural looking results. However, not everyone is a candidate for this particular method. Microblading is most suitable for clients with normal skin to ensure the best healing results. This method is less effective on oily/combination skin types as oily skin will cause the microblading strokes to expand and blur. Microblading also requires more frequent touchups as oppose to other techniques. At Touch of Brows, we will assess who is an ideal candidate for this particular technique.

Ombre Powder Brow is a soft shading technique that mimics a soft shaded brow pencil look and is suitable for all skin types. Ombre Powder Brow is our most requested technique. This particular technique is perform using a digital machine to implant pigment creating a more gradient effect from the beginning of the brow to tail of the brow. This method is customizable and is use to enhance the client's eyebrows to give the look of makeup.

Hybrid Brows are crafted using a technique of combining microblading strokes with powder brows. This technique is done by adding hairstokes at the head of the brows and subtly fading into powder brows, giving client's brows the softness of Microblading and the fullness of Powder brows.
