Complete Guide To Brow Techniques

If you’ve researched permanent brows recently, you’ve probably encountered a confusing number of names.

Microblading.

Nano Brows.

Powder Brows.

Ombré Brows.

Combination Brows.

So which one do you actually need?

The answer depends less on which technique is currently trending and more on your skin, natural brow hair, previous permanent makeup and the result you want.

Microblading

Microblading creates fine manual hairstrokes designed to resemble natural eyebrow hairs.

Consider the look if you want: natural-looking hairstrokes and additional fullness while maintaining a hair-like appearance.

Nano Brows

Nano Brows also create hairstrokes, but they’re produced using a permanent makeup machine and fine needle rather than a manual microblading tool.

Consider the look if you want: a machine-created hairstroke technique.

Powder Brows

Powder Brows create shading rather than individual hairstrokes.

The intensity can range from subtle to more defined.

Consider the look if you want: greater overall brow definition or the appearance of softly filled-in brows.

Ombré Brows

Ombré is a powder-brow style featuring a gradient in intensity, often beginning softer toward the front and becoming more defined through the body and tail.

Combination Brows

Can’t decide between hairstrokes and shading? Combination Brows incorporate both.

Hairstrokes provide texture while shading can provide additional density and definition.

So Which Is Best?

There isn’t one technique that’s best for everyone. A beautiful brow should be designed around the person wearing it.

That’s why Blink offers multiple brow techniques rather than trying to make every client fit one treatment.

Still not sure? That’s okay. We’ll help determine the appropriate approach for your brows.
