Modern girls can afford to be beautiful at any time, under any conditions and even without the regular use of decorative cosmetics. And all thanks to the latest techniques and methods for creating “long-lasting make-up”, which have recently become more and more popular. Numerous offers of beauty salons for permanent makeup of the lips, eyelash extensions and eyebrow shaping are dazzling at almost every step. And one of the popular techniques is eyebrow microblading, which allows you to give the correct shape and natural color.
The peculiarity of the procedure is that a coloring pigment is injected under the skin, which is not washed out and remains on the face for a long time, allowing you to create a beautiful and expressive look. This creates the appearance of natural hairs, which allows you to create the most natural way.
What it is?
Make beautiful makeup without eyebrows impossible. And not all of the fair sex can boast of the correct form of the nature of the eyebrows. As a rule, girls are forced to use decorative cosmetics to create a beautiful image: various pencils and shadows. That is not always convenient, because more time and effort is spent on makeup, and besides, it is usually impossible to make an image natural, finding the right shade and drawing a beautiful shape.
Change the thickness and give the correct shape eyebrow, you can also use paint or simple henna, but this effect will last a short time. And evenly colored areas of the skin will give the eyebrows a coarse and monolithic look.
And besides, maximum naturalness and natural beauty has now become fashionable.
And, it seems, microblading was created specifically for girls who do not want to be late or who love to soak up in the morning for a half an hour more in bed. This procedure relieves its owner from the daily adjustment of eyebrows.
Micropigmentation is a kind of complete eyebrow reconstruction.
In fact, this is a modified permanent tattoo technique. Its second name is biotatuazh. All procedures are performed using microscopic technology. That is, the pigment is injected under the skin with a thin needle. Why the name of the procedure appeared, in translation from English, microblading means “small blade”. And at the same time, every time the skin is touched, the master leaves a small mark that imitates the natural hair on the eyebrow. And thus, each line is drawn individually and individually.
The microblading procedure is suitable for many of the fair sex, as it allows to solve several problems at once.
Special attention to microblading is worth paying:
- to owners of thin and rare eyebrows - if there are partially bare areas without hairs, the master will be able to hide the most poignant zones with drawn strokes that perfectly imitate natural hair;
- in the presence of areas on which hairs grow chaotically or in different directions - such eyebrows are difficult to lay in the correct shape, since changing the direction of hair growth is almost impossible;
- if necessary, hide scars or scars - micropigmentation allows you to paint over small areas and create the effect of natural well-groomed eyebrows;
- if there is a desire to change the shape or appearance of the eyebrows - few women can boast of a perfectly natural shape and thickness of the eyebrows;
- fair-haired girls with soft eyebrows - microblading will allow you to create a beautiful and complete image;
- brunettes whose eyebrows quickly fade in the sun and create a discord with the color of hair.
And most importantly, the procedure of professional eyebrow drawing will allow many women to save themselves from daily makeup application for a long time.
Microblading will be an ideal option for preserving beauty for women who live on the coast or during a trip to the sea. And also it will suit lovers of sports, active lifestyle and travel.
Kinds
Microblading technique is suitable for every girl who does not want to waste time on daily makeup. Modern microblading, which allows you to create eyebrows that are fashionable today, has come to replace the spraying technique. Not so long ago, thin eyebrows with a small and smooth bend were in trend. But today, glossy publications dictate new rules - eyebrows should be thick, wide and as natural as possible.
Using various techniques, it is possible to create pronounced eyebrows by spraying or detailed drawing. Thus, the beauty industry experts offer several techniques of applying “long-lasting” makeup that best suits your individual style.
Techniques
Hair technique - allows you to completely change the shape of the eyebrows. The technology involves the drawing of individual hairs. This technique is suitable if you need to create a beautiful shape of eyebrows, but in some areas the hairs do not grow. The hair technique is divided into two types:
- European method. It is a drawing of all the hairs of the same length, in the same direction and in the same color, which is why this technique received the second name - the hair. With the right color, eyebrows look well-groomed and stressed. The main advantage of European technology is the ability to completely change the shape and position of the eyebrows. As a result, this technique allows you to get wide and thick eyebrows. But on closer examination, artificiality and unnaturalness can be observed. Therefore, the European method is more suitable for adjusting the color of thick eyebrows.
- Eastern or Japanese method - the wizard creates strokes of different lengths, and can also draw hairs in different directions. The particular complexity of this technique is the use of different pigments to create a more natural and natural image. At the same time eyebrows are created with a light volume, which can hardly be called artificial. This technique is great for owners of thin and light hair.
The shadow technique is a slight correction of the color of the eyebrows. The hairs are drawn indistinctly and with a slight shading - as if creating shadows and penumbra from the growing hairs, the master makes strokes. This technique allows you to visually add the thickness, volume and natural shade of the eyebrows. Shadow technique helps to create a natural image for fair-haired girls.
Powder technique creates the effect of decorated eyebrow shadows. During the procedure, the master does not create individual strokes that mimic the hairs, but fills the space between the existing hairs with color.
Powder eyebrows fit blondes.
In the 6D technique, all strokes are as thin as possible and drawn in different directions. But as the masters themselves assure, this is nothing more than a marketing ploy, since this technique is not particularly different from the Japanese one.
The final cost and quality of the procedure depends on the chosen technique. But for each representative of the fair sex a certain technique is suitable, which only the master can advise. With the right approach and compliance with the rules before and after the procedure, you can get natural and well-groomed eyebrows, which even on closer examination can not be distinguished from the natural.
Difference from other techniques
Permanent tattooing has long been known, but its technology is outdated and no longer meets the modern requirements of the fair sex. Microblading is qualitatively different from the tattoo and technique, and the end result. Tattoo is a complete and uniform staining of the skin, which deprives the look of softness and naturalness. Permanent tattooing will last on the skin for about 3-4 years. During this time there is a risk that the eyebrows will change color and the “solid fill” will become pinkish or blue.
During the procedure, the master introduces the pigment into the deeper layers of the epidermis, which creates the impression of a fully tattooed eyebrows. The final result will last for a lifetime, and it will be possible to change the shape or bend only after the monolithic contour is removed by a laser. In addition, the procedure itself is very painful, and the rehabilitation period after the tattoo can be delayed for a month.
During the microblading procedure, the master draws each hair separately, which allows you to make the most natural look.
Each stroke is drawn manually by a special tool - a manipula, which consists of several thin needles, which are fastened together in the form of a scapula. A special tool allows you to get a more accurate form.
Repeating the same movement over and over again, the master applies one color strip to the skin. And he also controls the depth of the cut and the size of the stroke manually, so the hairs appear clearer and more natural. With microblading, the skin layers are less injured, but the pigment resistance also decreases. However, the effect can be maintained an average of 2.5 years.
During this time, the eyebrows will not change color and shape, unlike tattoo or classic coloring.
And besides, the rehabilitation period will be only 1 week. During this time, slight swelling and redness may appear on the treated areas. In this case, both procedures in beauty salons are about the same. But if you choose between tattooing or microblading, you should still choose the second option. In addition, microblading is more suitable for thin and sensitive skin.
Advantages and disadvantages
According to representatives of the beauty industry, microblading is a fashionable trend for today.
The procedure itself has many advantages.
- The most important advantage is convenience. There is no need to correct makeup and draw eyebrows every time.

- The rehabilitation period is only a week - during this time the crusts, which in reality are small films, will painlessly move away from the eyebrows. In this case, the recovery period will not be so noticeable to others. By comparison, after tattooing eyebrows become evenly colored and beautiful only after at least 3 weeks.Therefore, after microblading, you can almost immediately proceed to the usual affairs and work.
- Significantly facilitates the life of a girl, there is no need to apply makeup every morning and allows you to do without pencils, shadows or paint.
- Practically painless procedure and a small amount of side effects - microblading delivers only minor discomfort, because a one-time small blade does not penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, unlike the painful permanent tattoo.

- Microblading, as compared with other technicians, is considered a less painful procedure, therefore it is excellent for particularly sensitive skin.
Even with such a large number of positive characteristics, we should not forget that microbliding is a non-returnable experiment with appearance. It is worth weighing all the pros and cons, to get acquainted with the minuses and contraindications, as well as to assess the potential harm, and to understand whether this procedure is really necessary. If you naturally have beautiful, thick and bright eyebrows, then there is no need to resort to this technique and put at stake the natural beauty, because there is always a risk to get not the effect that you expected.
The disadvantages of the procedure include the following points:
- Failure - in some cases, lasting effect may persist for only six months.
- High cost - the price for the service depends on the professionalism of the master, the status of the salon and the chosen equipment. Therefore, in this case, cheap does not mean good at all.
- Dye pigment can be leached unevenly - it is often associated with the quality of paint and with the individual characteristics of the body.
- The time-consuming search for a good master who will be able to perform the jewelry procedure - it can take a long time to find a professional specialist.
- If you entrust your face to a non-professional specialist, then there is a risk of injury to the blood vessels, which will later lead to leaching of the pigment.
- Frequent correction - the wizard recommends visiting the salon every six months to draw individual strokes and maintain the tint.
The biggest drawback is the lack of professional craftsmen who can make even and identical skin cuts with a firm hand.
Choosing a specialist can take a long time. Do not trust your face to the first oncoming master with a good portfolio. It is important that your ideas about beauty and naturalness coincide. And what is important, before the procedure, first try to get a consultation with the master, and pay attention to the cleanliness in the office and the sterility of the instruments.
How to prepare?
It is possible to shorten and facilitate the recovery period after the procedure, but this requires time to be spent on preparation before microblading. And although the preparation does not seem to be exhausting and long, it will still have to be held. Because it is important to understand, in spite of the fact that microblading is not a full-fledged operation, the procedure still involves intervention and disturbance of the skin.
Preparation will contribute to the rapid healing of tissues and strengthen the blood vessels, as well as help to get the perfect result, which will please for a long time. To do this, you will need at least 7 days, which will require you to limit yourself in some procedures and pleasures.
It is necessary to refuse:
- alcoholic beverages;
- coffee and strong tea;
- tobacco;
- fatty foods;
- sugars, including juices and soda;
- pickled food;
- drugs that contribute to the dilution of blood and vasoconstriction.
During this period, you should also pay attention to food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and refuse fatty and heavy foods. The refusal of certain foods and beverages is due to the fact that they contain substances that contribute to the dilution of blood. So, after the procedure, the recovery period may be delayed due to slow healing. The same applies to taking antibiotics and hormonal drugs. Ultraviolet rays make the skin rougher, which further complicates the patency of the pigment. And also do not use tanning for the face during the preparation.
Within 14 days you can not pull out hair, dye and adjust the eyebrow area, so that the master has a visual idea of the thickness and length of hair.
Before going to the salon, remove the dead cells from the face with a soft peeling - this will improve the effect of microblading. And for best results, it is recommended to drink away a course of vitamins that help strengthen the body.
Contraindications
The microblading procedure is not suitable for everyone, because it has some limitations and contraindications.
Among them it is worth noting:
- individual intolerance to the body and allergy to the coloring pigment;
- general ill health, fever or any cold;
- dermatitis, herpes, eczema, other skin diseases on the face in the acute form, as well as the special sensitivity of the skin;
- oily porous skin;
- presence of moles on the eyebrows;
- diabetes;
- high blood pressure - with hypertension, you should consult with your doctor;
- epilepsy;
- oncology, as well as the recovery period after chemistry or radiation therapy;
- HIV infection, hepatitis;
- poor blood clotting and menstruation period;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding period.
Should I do microblading during pregnancy, each expectant mother can decide for herself. Experts recommend abandoning the procedure for pregnant and lactating mothers. In many ways, it all depends on the anesthetic and the quality of the pigment. Therefore, before the procedure is to consult with the master and your doctor.
Before the procedure, it is imperative that an allergy test be performed to ensure that there are no negative reactions to the pigment that will be used. An allergy test is performed by applying a small amount of paint on the wrist or elbow. If there is no redness or itching on the skin after 15 minutes, it means that there is no allergic reaction, and the pigment can be used on the face. Otherwise, it is worth choosing another paint or abandon the procedure And if you have any features with the perception of certain components or drugs, be sure to inform the master.
Process description
The procedure in the cabin takes from 30 minutes to one and a half hours, depending on the chosen technique and the professionalism of the master. It all depends on each individual case. At the initial stage, the wizard will ask you to tell you exactly what effect you want to achieve. To get the desired result, it is worth preparing a few illustrative examples of what you want to get. And the more you describe the desired result and show the photos, the easier it will be for the expert to understand and create the correct shape, thickness, bend, and also to find the desired shade.
There are a few simple rules that allow you to choose the right shape for the type of appearance.
- The oval shape of the face is considered ideal, so finding the right eyebrow shape is not difficult. Still, soft eyebrows with rounded corners are best.
- Round face - often owners of such appearance try to hide excessive roundness.To do this, it is best to choose a bend in the form of an arch and avoid thin and too curved lines - they will only add roundness.
- Face “heart” - on such a face, the eyebrows are given the task of balancing the high forehead and thin sharp chin. Eyebrows with a low bend in the form of an arch, which smoothly rises from the hairline, are perfect for this type.
- Elongated oval face - for this type, more straight and horizontal eyebrows are most suitable, they help to make the face visually shorter and more expressive.
- Face "square" - to soften the sharp features you need to choose a shape with a bend, while the more pronounced the chin - the sharper the bend should be.
Features of the procedure in the beauty salon
- Before starting the procedure, the master assesses the general condition of the eyebrows, the individual features of the face and facial expressions. After which, the skin is degreased with a special alcohol-based lotion.
- Then an anesthetic gel is applied to the eyebrow area. After 15 minutes, when the agent is absorbed into the skin, the remnants of the gel are removed with a napkin and the skin is wiped with a disinfecting lotion.
- The master combs the hairs on the eyebrows, lays them in the right direction and creates a beautiful and natural shape. Smooth bends are created with a pencil and tweezers.
- Then select a shade for future eyebrows. The palette in beauty salons is very rich, ranging from light gray to copper and dark brown. Black pigment is not used in microblading, because over time it can produce blue. After agreeing on the shape and color with the client, the master goes on to remove hairs that do not fit into the selected shape.
- After that, the master can proceed to the procedure itself. For this purpose, a special tool is used, and depending on the chosen technique, the pigment is shaded or every hair is drawn.
- The master inserts a disposable blade to the depth of no more than 2 mm under the skin with a dotted movement. At this time, the upper layers of the epidermis are stained with pigment.
- After all the strokes are completed, and the procedure is completed, eyebrows are rubbed with a special solution that promotes rapid healing and repair of tissues.
Many girls are interested in the question of how painful the procedure is. Conducting various manipulations with the skin can not be called pleasant, but too painful too. Anesthesia used before the procedure reduces the discomfort and reduces them to a minimum. Compliance with all the rules of preparation for the procedure will also help reduce pain.
And no need to worry if after the procedure the eyebrows seem to be too bright and rough, during the first 3-4 days about half of the pigment will come down. Then eyebrows will get a softer and lighter shade. And besides, it should be understood that over time the pigment will be leached. Therefore, the brighter the eyebrows now, the longer they will retain their color and shape.
Within 2-4 weeks it will be necessary to repeat the microblading procedure and update some of the eyebrow strokes.
The correction will take less time and will not be as painful as the first. If you do not like the shade, shape or size of the drawn hairs, then you can only correct the situation by removing the laser for 3-4 procedures. And if only a small area seems to be problematic, then it will be possible to block the failed hairs with a camouflage pigment during the correction.
Aftercare
Tips and recommendations for care will surely be voiced by the master after the procedure. The recovery period can take about a week. And this is a very important point that will allow you to maintain a lasting effect for a long time. During this period, a small crust will appear on the treated areas of the skin, resembling a more transparent film, which is strictly forbidden to remove on your own. She must retire naturally. Also during this period there will be a liquid.
At this time, you must follow a few rules.
- Do not wet your eyebrows - try to minimize the use of any cosmetic liquid products in the eyebrow area.
- In the first days you can not wash your face with running hot water, you only need to refresh the skin with micellar water or lotion, avoiding the areas around the eyebrows.
- The eyebrow area can be treated only with special disinfectants recommended by a specialist. As a rule, masters advise to use Chlorgeskidin 5 times a day.
- Within a few days, the treated areas will begin to dry out, and a tightening crust will appear. Drawn hairs will get a darker shade. On day 4, more visible crusts will appear, which can cause severe itching. But the emerged scab can not be removed independently, otherwise you can spoil the contours and shape of the eyebrows, which was created by the master. And to reduce itching, you can use the ointment "Bepanten" or "Panthenol." When the crusts are removed in a natural way, the brow tint will be even a couple tones darker.
- During the next 2 weeks it is forbidden to visit the bath, swimming pool, as well as take hot baths.
- Do not overload yourself with grueling exercise for at least the first 5 days.
- You must give up visiting the solarium and the beach for at least a month. And for six months before going out, it is necessary to treat the eyebrow area with sunscreen with an indicator of 30-40 SPF.
- Also, do not take drugs and drugs that accelerate the healing of the skin, because such drugs contribute to the withdrawal of pigment.
- Within a month, you need to more carefully and carefully select decorative and care cosmetics for the face. During this period, you can not use scrubs and do peels.
- On the question of when it will be possible to wet the eyebrows, only a specialist will answer. It depends on the individual characteristics of the skin. Of course, it is possible to wash, but it is better not to wet your eyebrows and use a cotton pad. But as a rule, it is allowed to wash the face with water in 5-7 days after the procedure, when the healed, damaged skin areas no longer cause inconvenience and cause itching.
The recovery period can take about a week. And if the skin heals more slowly, you should not worry, because in some cases it may take longer to recover.
In this case, all processes take place individually, and it all depends on several factors:
- coloring pigment - the quality and individual tolerance of paint;
- the type and structure of the skin - on the skin prone to fatty staining may be held for a short time;
- compliance with recommendations for care after the procedure - at this time it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations and advice of the master.
After 2-3 weeks it is worth strengthening your natural hair with masks and oils.
A great way to quickly restore weakened hairs is burdock oil or chamomile decoction. It is enough to make lotions a couple of times a week so that the hairs retain their strength and beauty.
How long does the result hold?
It is difficult to say how long and lasting effect on the face will last, because everything depends on the individual characteristics, quality of the procedure and professionalism of the master. On average, the pigment keeps on the skin from six months to 3 years.
Although it all depends on many parameters:
- age - after 40 years of microblading effect looks more expressive;
- features of the female body - in adulthood, metabolism slows down, and metabolic processes do not proceed so quickly, so microblading in the young fair sex will last less than in a woman after 30;
- density, elasticity and porosity of the skin - according to these individual characteristics of the structure of the skin, the master will select the appropriate pigment;
- lifestyle;
- the quality of their eyebrows.
To prolong the lasting effect of flawless eyebrows, you need to take care of your skin.The most important rule is to use UV protection cream before going out in sunny weather. Then the pigment will last relatively long.
Further, when the persistent microblading effect starts to diminish, it will be necessary to correct the eyebrows. According to experts, after the first procedure, only half of the pigment remains on the skin, the rest is washed out. Therefore, professionals advise to visit the salon for the correction every six months, then it will be possible to maintain the original appearance for a long time.
Possible consequences
Unfortunately, girls who have not undergone micropigmentation are not always satisfied with the effect. Among the negative aspects can be noted ugly color, rough shape or asymmetry.
Unpleasant surprises may appear not because of the hands of the master, the cause is largely due to the individual characteristics of the skin:
- Hair loss - during the procedure there is a risk of damaging the hair follicles.
- Swelling and inflammation - during the procedure, the master can damage the blood vessels, which will increase the swelling.
- Uneven staining or an ugly color - in this case, not everything depends on the experience and knowledge of the master. It is possible that the disregard of the list of contraindications can lead to severe edema, which is why later the paint under the skin does not evenly distribute. In addition, when choosing a coloring pigment specialist should take into account the individual characteristics of the skin. For example, on dry skin, the color after the procedure may not meet expectations and the eyebrows will not get a rich and bright color.
- Scars and cuts - if the master has a weak hand, then, quite possibly, he will not be able to do all the strokes with the same strength and the same size.
Beautiful examples
The beauty of a woman's face depends on three components: the shape of the face, the color of the skin, and the width of the eyebrows. And it is possible to make beautiful bends in various ways, although it is almost impossible to create flawless eyebrows on your own at home. Therefore it is necessary to turn to professionals who will make the eyebrows perfect for a long time. And microblading is currently considered one of the best ways.
