What is eyebrow microblading
Eyebrow microblading is a new term in the cosmetic field. Its essence lies in a special procedure, when using a blade with a handle, the master injects a coloring pigment under the skin to a depth of 1.5 mm.
The peculiarity of this technique is that each hair is drawn by hand, creating clear, thin strokes that repeat the color, bends of natural eyebrows.
When a qualified master is taken to perform the procedure, then even from a short distance it will not be noticeable that they are unnatural. All this makes microblading popular among girls, women of all ages.
Indications for performing microblading
Microblading services are used by women who have such eyebrow problems:
- Irregular shape, bend, thickness.
- Light, sparse hairs.
- Asymmetrical arrangement.
- Bald spots, other defects.
- Lack of hair associated with the presence of a particular disease.
Microblading is a jewelry work that requires high precision, like satin stitch embroidery.
How to choose a shape
The shape is matched to the type of person. A master with extensive experience can easily determine which eyebrows are able to emphasize the dignity, and which ones - to muffle the natural outlines. For example, an elongated oval face can be made wider by stepping back more space between the eyebrows.
Each woman has the right to choose the shape herself, but in order for the eyebrows to look harmonious and emphasize the oval of the face, it will be useful to consult with a specialist.
Correctly chosen shape will add attractiveness to the face. When choosing a shape, the peculiarities of hair growth are taken into account, therefore, it is not advised to pluck the eyebrows before the procedure. The master can independently remove the hairs before proceeding with the correction. Negative reviews about this method are associated with an incorrectly selected form.
Bear in mind that large eyebrows suit few girls. For example, women who have thin lips and small facial features should abandon this idea.
Features of applying the correct markup
The markup is carried out with a special pencil. Facial shape and age should be taken into account, as skin tissue sags with age. In this case, create a reserve of the angle of elevation of the tip of the eyebrow from the outside.
When developing a sketch of eyebrows, the master should strive to create a harmonious image - the eyebrows should not attract attention. In addition, this is a movable part of the face and it takes part in facial expressions.
A simple scheme will facilitate the selection of the correct shape of the eyebrows, according to the individual characteristics of the face.
The rules for developing a sketch are as follows:
- 2/3 of the lines should go up.
- The inside is always wider than the outside.
- The bottom line should remain straight from the beginning to the break point.
- The tail should not fall below the beginning.
To achieve the correct bending angles, follow a simple diagram that allows you to define the points on the basis of which the perfect arc is created with a pencil and the wings of the nose.
After creating the sketch, you will need to correct the shape of the eyebrows with tweezers. Any remaining hairs that go beyond the border of the pattern must be removed.
How to choose a pigment
In the process of shading, to achieve the effect of blurring, partial shade, the paint is diluted with water used for injections. In modern ones, a concentrated pigment is used.
Pigments contain an alcohol-based solvent, a coloring agent with the addition of sorbitol, glycerin. Products with glycerin in the composition have the most intense color.
By themselves, substances for painting are mineral, organic, mixed. The most preferred are dyes, namely chromium oxide, titanium dioxide, manganese and others. Their presence in the pigment can cause allergies and lead to unpredictable results.
Newbie masters start working with 5 shades, which are combined, mixed to achieve the best results.
In order to prevent swelling and irritation, when applied under the skin, the drug has a neutral effect. Acid and alkali in the composition of the product can cause different reactions. Good pigments have additional components that will ensure quick healing and repair of skin cells.
When creating a suitable eyebrow tone, the artist can use from 2 to 6 shades of dye. All colors should be darker than necessary, as the pigment becomes paler after healing. The main sign of a high-quality pigment is that it begins to fade, but at the same time, it does not change its shade.
And here are some examples of correct color matching:
How to avoid blue eyebrows
The main positive feature of microblading is that natural colors are used in the process of work, which do not change their shade over time.
But the result largely depends on how well the master combines the pigments in order to obtain the desired shade. If you use black paint, apply it naturally, the eyebrows are very dark, with a blue tint. To prevent this, a small amount of orange should be added to the black pigment.
In order to get maximum naturalness, it is worth mixing 3-4 shades with each other, creating halftones. When choosing a color scheme, the woman's skin tone and hair color are always taken into account.
If the master has little experience in creating the desired shade, then the best solution would be to resort to light colors, since when correcting the result, it is easier to darken slightly than to lighten.
An example before and after microblading:
Application technology
Having made the decision to get a tattoo, contact a professional in your field. First, a woman should be consulted to avoid any negative consequences. After that, the process of preparation for the procedure begins.
A week before microblading, you should abandon:
- Alcohol and medicines that thin the blood.
- Solarium visits.
- Correction of the shape of the eyebrows on their own.
A few days before the procedure, you should adhere to a diet, excluding fatty, sweet, smoked and salty foods.
On the day of microblading, do not apply makeup near the eyebrows.
The application technology itself is as follows:
- The master chooses the appropriate color, shape of the eyebrows, taking into account the characteristics and personal wishes of each client.
- The beautician carefully draws the shape with a cosmetic pencil, removing the hairs with tweezers.
- The eyebrow area is treated with anesthetic ointments and only after that the specialist begins to work.
- With the help of a special pen with a thin blade, each hair is drawn.
- At the end of the procedure, the master removes the remaining pigment from the skin, combs the eyebrows, applies a soothing agent on them.
The entire procedure takes 1 to 3 hours to complete.
After the procedure, the color may lighten a little, so the master always selects the paint one tone darker.
