WHAT IS OMBRE BROWS?

Ombre brows is a semi-permanent powdered brows technique for clients who prefer fuller result than hairstrokes but still very soft. The tails of the brow are darker and fade into a light beginning to the brow, giving a perfect ombre makeup affect. The effects will be waterproof, smudge-proof and completely natural.

WHAT DOES OMBRÉ BROW LOOK LIKE? 

• The tails of the brow are darker, and as you move towards the front of the brow it starts to fade
• The effects will be waterproof and smudge-proof
• It lasts longer than Microblading, typically around 2 years on average
• Results are not determined until touch-up application is completed

HOW LONG DOES OMBRÉ BROW LAST? 

• Ombré Brow can last for 1-3 years
• A touch up is required 6-8 weeks after the initial appointment
• Clients that choose a soft look, light color shade or did not follow the after care instructions may require more touch up appointments

Factors that will cause your semi-permanent brow tattoo to fade faster: 

1. Tanning bed / sun exposure
2. Exfoliating
3. Oily skin
4. Medical conditions
