Natural beauty always attracts the eye and wins hearts. The permanent makeup of the eyebrows in the Ombré technique is performed to place accents. The highlight of the method is the absence of saturated shades that catch the eye. It is a winning option for those who are in love with natural makeup and do not want to radically change the natural shape of their eyebrows.

What is Ombré Eyebrows procedure?

Ombré Eyebrows in CA is a two-step permanent makeup procedure that includes the first session (initial insertion of the pigment) and a touch-up in 6-8 weeks. This technique is performed with a permanent makeup machine making dots of the selected pigment color.

This popular technique uses the shading method to get soft, natural eyebrows with a powder effect. This is a smooth transition from a light shade at the beginning of the eyebrow to a darker one at the end. It lets the artist achieve a beautiful gradient color by darkening it through the tail of the eyebrow.

The most important thing in performing the technique is to shade the pigment and achieve a natural effect properly. The gradient makes the look more mysterious, while the eyebrows retain their natural beauty.

After the procedure, you will see the effect of fresh eyebrow tint.

Microblading vs. Ombré Eyebrows

Ombré Eyebrows is a safer technique that does not leave scars on the skin, has a shorter healing period and has more long-lasting results. The Ombré technique provides a misty, powdery effect that quietly reminds of regular makeup.

Ombré Eyebrows and Microblading are different methods of PMU. Unlike Microblading tattoo, the safer, dot-performed technique will NOT look “blurry” on oily skin. The bottom line here is that the color transition is obtained from light to dark. The tails of the eyebrows will be the darkest. The eyebrows are neatly outlined with a smooth transition in a much safer, painless manner. The Ombré Eyebrows technique has 100% positive reviews.

Prior to Ombré Eyebrows

If you would like to feel more comfortable before, during, and after the Ombré Eyebrows procedure, you can get prepared for it by following simple steps. Those are just our recommendations, not your obligations.

  3. Avoid facial injections for 4 weeks prior to the Ombre Brow procedure.
  4. 48 hours before meeting with the PMU artist and on the day of the procedure, you must not take any blood thinners.
  5. Caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, energy drinks, sodas, and alcohol before the appointment may cause sensitivity.
  6. Avoid exercising on the day of the procedure.
  7. Wash your hair on the day of the procedure as a hot shower is not recommended after the treatment.
  8. Avoid tanning or sunbathing 2 weeks before the procedure.
  9. Avoid Facial Treatments or Chemical peels 2 weeks before the procedure.
  10. Try avoiding waxing, tanning, or tinting the eyebrow area 3 days before the appointment.

What to Expect

It is normal that after the procedure, the eyebrows will appear darker and lighten up to 60% when healing as the pigment may come off due to natural crusting. The healing period after the tattoo procedure will last for about 14 days. Please follow the Aftercare instructions, and the crusting will remind you of nothing more than regular soft peeling.

Considering proper care, the results will last for several years and if you visit touch-ups (at a lower cost), it can be prolonged. During the touch-up procedure, the permanent makeup artist corrects the shape if necessary and adds some more pigment.

Aftercare Instructions

Here, you can find out how to take care of your eyebrows after the Ombré Eyebrows procedure. Aftercare is vital to achieving beautiful & long-lasting results.

Dos

  • On the procedure day, gently wash each brow with gentle soap (Cetaphil, regular Dial, etc.) once every hour.
  • Starting the next day, gently wash brows with gentle soap in the morning & at night.
  • Be sure to apply Coconut oil (provided to you after your appointment) or “Taęoo Goo” to ensure proper healing of your brows. Begin usage on the 3rd day after the procedure.
  • If itching occurs, you can use Bactine, and it will also disinfect the area. Bactine contains lidocaine and benzalkonium chloride to help you deal with any discomfort.
  • Make sure your brows are not greasy, just slightly moist; no residue of oil should appear.

Oil-absorbing sheets such as Clean & Clear blotting sheets are highly recommended.

Don’ts

  • Do not use any makeup on the procedure area for 1 week.
  • Do not scratch, touch, or sleep on your brows for at least 2 weeks.
  • No heavy workouts for 7 days. Avoid sweating.
  • Do not use any other ointments or creams with vitamins or antibiotics on the eyebrows.
  • No sunbathing, or tanning for 4 weeks.
  • No chemical peels, mesotherapy, dermabrasion or any other intense treatments for 4 weeks.
  • Sometimes residual pigment, blood, white blood cells, etc., can arise. If this occurs, you should gently dab this away. Don’t worry if dry patches or scabs appear as this can be taken care of during the second touch-up appointment.
  • Avoid Petroleum Jelly or Vaseline during your healing period. Anything with a petroleum base can cause a reaction, crusting, scabbing, or sweating because the skin is not able to breathe.
