Powder & Ombré Brows
in Buffalo, NY
Soft. Defined. Completely Customized.
Not everyone wants hairstrokes.
Powder Brows create soft shading throughout the eyebrow to add fullness, shape and definition.
The intensity can be customized depending on the look you want—from soft and understated to more polished and defined.
What Are Powder Brows?
Powder Brows are created using a permanent makeup machine to deposit pigment in a shaded pattern throughout the brow.
Instead of mimicking individual hairs, the technique creates the appearance of soft brow color.
Think of the difference as:
Microblading/Nano = hairstrokes
Powder = shading
Neither effect is inherently better. They’re simply different looks.
What Are Ombré Brows?
Ombré describes a powder-brow style in which the front of the brow can remain softer while the body and tail gradually become more defined.
The finished result is customized to the client’s natural brows and desired intensity.
Powder Brows vs. Microblading
Choose based on the result—not which technique happens to be trending. Microblading creates individual manual hairstrokes. Powder Brows create shading.
Some clients love the extremely natural texture of hairstrokes. Others prefer the polished definition of powder. And some want both.
Combination Brows
Combination Brows incorporate hairstrokes with shading.
This can provide the texture of hairstrokes with additional fullness and definition.

OMBRÉ POWDER BROW FAQs
What are Powder Brows?
Powder Brows are a permanent makeup technique that uses soft shading to create fullness and definition throughout the eyebrows.
What’s the difference between Powder Brows and Ombré Brows?
Both use shading. Ombré generally refers to a gradient effect in which the front of the brow is softer and definition increases through the body and tail.
Are Powder Brows good for oily skin?
Powder techniques may be considered for clients whose skin characteristics aren’t ideally suited to traditional microblading, but suitability varies by individual.
Do Powder Brows look unnatural?
They don’t have to. The intensity is customizable. A Powder Brow can be soft and subtle or more defined depending on the client’s preference.
How long do Powder Brows last?
Pigment gradually fades. Retention varies according to skin characteristics, lifestyle, skincare, sun exposure, aftercare and other individual factors.
Can Powder Brows and hairstrokes be combined?
Yes. Combining hairstrokes and shading can create additional texture and definition and is commonly referred to as a Combination Brow.
BEFORE OMBRÉ POWDER BROW Tattoo TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Please follow this list of guidelines prior to your scheduled appointment:
OMBRÉ POWDER BROW AFTERCARE
For optimal healing results, we advise keeping the treatment area continually moisturized for the entire duration of the 10 days after the procedure. During the healing process, we recommend washing the tattooed area with a very gentle touch using only your fingertips, once in the morning and evening, with lukewarm water and a small amount of unscented Dial soap or a gentle cleanser. Gently with only the fingertips, smooth over the tattooed area with water to ensure soap residues are removed. Pat dry with a clean tissue. Once dry, reapply aftercare moisturizer. Appropriate skin moisturizers for this healing protocol are Vaseline or castor oil. Keeping the wound moisturized will prevent scabbing which can pull out pigment from the skin and cause undesirable results and pigment loss.
The following is a list of guidelines that must be practiced daily for the 10 days post procedure:
-No direct water on eyebrows. Wash around brows before showering, reapply moisturizer before entering shower to protect from getting wet. Keep face opposite of stream of water.
– No swimming or jacuzzis
-No gym, workouts, hot baths, saunas, or excessive sweating
-No makeup on brows until healed after 10 days
-To keep from drying out at night, place two small pieces of saran wrap over each eyebrow
-Do not pick at any scabs that form or itch. Picking scabs can cause scarring and premature loss of pigment
-Avoid prolonged and direct sun exposure as well as UV Tanning. After 10 days wear SPF 30 if in the sun
– Avoid sleeping face down
– No tweezing or tinting
– No laser treatments, chemical peels, Retin-A creams or Glycolic acid on the face or neck
While the skin is healing in the 4 to 6 week period it may appear that the pigment is disappearing. The skin is growing new skin cells and the pigment will resurface. Some scabs may form and give eyebrows a patchy appearance during the healing process. Any spots that do not take the pigment will be corrected at the touch-up appointment 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure.
