Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup used to enhance or recreate the natural appearance of eyebrows. It’s especially popular for those who want fuller, more defined brows without the daily effort of filling them in with makeup.
How the Technique Works
The technique involves using a specialized handheld tool fitted with a row of very fine, sterile needles. These needles do not inject pigment deep into the skin like a tattoo machine. Instead, they gently scratch the surface of the skin—just into the upper dermal layer—to create fine, hair-like incisions. Pigment is then deposited into these shallow cuts. The result is realistic, natural-looking brow strokes that blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
Surface-Level Application (Not a Tattoo)
Because the pigment is placed closer to the surface, the results are softer and more natural than permanent tattooing, and they gradually fade over 12–18 months, depending on your client’s skin type, skincare routine, and lifestyle. A touch-up appointment is typically needed 4–6 weeks after the initial procedure, and maintenance sessions are recommended annually to keep the shape and colour fresh.
Microblading is ideal for people who have sparse brows, have lost brow hair, or simply want a more polished, symmetrical look.
What is Microshading?
Microshading is a semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement technique that uses a fine, machine-powered nano-needle system to gently deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin.
Unlike microblading, which creates hair-like strokes, microshading produces a soft, powdery finish—similar to the effect of brow makeup. It’s especially popular among those with oily or sensitive skin, or anyone who prefers a fuller, more defined brow look.
How the Technique Works
You will learn how to use a nano-needle device to create tiny, pixelated dots that gradually build up colour and shape, offering a gradient or ombré effect that looks natural and polished. Because the pigment is applied more evenly and delicately, the results tend to be longer-lasting and gentler on the skin.
Long-Lasting Definition With Flexible Options
Results typically last 1–2 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups help maintain the desired look over time.
Microshading can be done on its own for a soft, filled-in look or combined with microblading to create hybrid brows that offer both defined hair strokes and fuller, shaded depth.
What is Lip Blushing?
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that enhances the natural colour, shape, and symmetry of the lips using micropigmentation techniques. A handheld device with ultra-fine needles deposits pigment into the upper layers of the skin, creating a soft, tinted effect that looks like a natural lip tint or balm stain.
It is an excellent service to:
- Restore or add colour to pale or uneven-toned lips
- Correct asymmetry
- Define the lip border
- Create the illusion of fuller lips without (or in complement to) filler
The process typically requires two sessions—initial pigmentation and a follow-up touch-up about 6–8 weeks later. Results can last 1–3 years, depending on lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare. As the pigment fades gradually over time, maintenance sessions help preserve the look.
Lip blushing is ideal for clients who want to wake up with naturally defined, youthful-looking lips every day—no lipstick required.
What are the technique details?
The technique involves using a specialized handheld device fitted with a sterile, ultra-fine needle. Unlike tattoos that deposit pigment deep into the skin, lip blush works by gently implanting pigment into the upper dermal layer through controlled passes over the lips. The result is a soft, sheer tint that enhances your natural lip colour, defines the shape, and creates a more youthful, even tone.
What if I'm interested in both Microblading & Microshading?
Excellent choice! You can offer each brow style on its own, or combine them to master every technique and create custom looks for every client.
When used together, they form hybrid brows: microblading defines the shape and adds realistic strokes in the front of the brow, while microshading fills in the body and tail for added density and softness.
The result is a full, well-defined brow that looks both natural and polished. This combination is popular among clients with patchy brows or oily skin, and those who want a more makeup-ready finish.
