Rest assured that Krystal will discuss the best option with you in the consult portion of the beginning of your appointment. There are 2 main factors to consider: personal preference and skin type…

Preference:

Ombré Powder Brows: This is our most popular and recommended method! It is well-suited to most skin types and typically lasts longer than Microblading. If you typically fill your Brows in daily with makeup, this is the look you will feel most comfortable with. We can make it look as natural or as defined as you want it to! And yes, it still looks very natural on the face even if wearing no other makeup!

1-3 Years before a Color Boost appointment is needed.

Microblading: Microblading alone is going to heal to look like a “naked ” brow (one with no pencil or brow powder makeup on it). It will mimic the look of having more natural hairs in the brow, but will not have the appearance of a brow that has been filled in. If you don’t ever wear Brow makeup or have very full brow naturally and are just looking to fill out a few sparse areas, this can be a good choice. If the existing brow has very little hair left, it is best to go with Ombré Powder brows.

6 month-2 Years before a Color Boost appointment is needed.

Skin Type:

Those with normal to dry skin and smooth texture will heal and maintain crisper looking “hair strokes” for the longest amount of time. They are good candidates for Ombré Powder Brows or Microblading.

Those with oily, textured, or acne-prone skin are not ideal for Microblading as they will not hold very crisp strokes and may see blotchy areas or strokes that blur out over time. A Powder/Ombré brow is ideal for this client.

Clients who use strong topicals such as Rx Retinols, Hydroquinone, get frequent Peels, have lots of sun exposure, etc will see their results fade much faster. A Powder/Ombré brow is ideal for this client.

Previous Tattoo: If you have a previous brow tattoo (not Microblading), you are not a candidate for Microblading as there is too much solid pigment already there for strokes to show. You MAY be a candidate for a Powder/Ombré brow, but will need to book a consult online with Krystal first. In some cases, tattoo removal/lightening sessions may be needed before we can attempt to correct or touch-up past work.
