If you want better, sexier eyebrows but you’re on the fence about which technique you want; We promise that by the time you’re done reading this article you’ll be able to make an informed decision on the better option for you. Let’s get started!
Eyebrow Tinting
You can get your eyebrows tinted to give a more dramatic look to your facial features. Let’s start with answering some basic questions.
What is eyebrow tinting?
It’s a treatment that consists of adding more color to your lovely arches to make them darker. Usually, it is done with cream.
How long does it take?
On average, it takes about 5-15 minutes.
How long does it last?
On average, eyebrow tinting lasts about 4-6 weeks.
What can affect the color?
Sun, pool, hair growth, and how often you wash your face will all affect how long your color lasts. Always use sunscreen and a hat when you’re outside, and you’ll get more out of your treatment.
Why is it a good option for me?
For those afraid of commitment (like yours truly), if you don’t love it, it’s an easy fix. If you get tired of it, just wait 4-6 weeks. It’s a lot less permanent than microblading.
Is it for everyone?
Yes! Brow tinting is an excellent option for anyone with any kind of hair color.
Microblading
What is microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow treatment that helps your eyebrows look fuller, naturally. The tool that is used to add the color makes small abrasions to the eyebrow, then fills the skin with a pigment that creates the image of thicker and more filled-in brows. Many people think it’s like getting a tattoo, but this is not the case. A tattoo is made in the dermis (your second layer of skin), while microblading occurs on the very surface of the skin.
How long does it take?
A microblading sesh will take about 1.5-2 hours.
How long does it last?
On average, microblading lasts 1-3 years.
What can affect it?
This depends on skin type, hair growth, sun exposure, and how often you wash your face. Also, you’ll need to stay away from your workouts or any other sweaty activity as you’ll want to avoid getting your eyebrows wet for up to 10 days after your appointment. You’ll also need to avoid wearing make-up for a week, so your brows can heal properly.
