Powdery eyebrows. What is it, photos before and after tattooing, spray technique, how long does it last

A trendy technique that allows you to create the most natural effect - powdery eyebrows. In the photo before and after the procedure, you can notice the difference. After spraying, the lines look more voluminous, thicker and more saturated.

Often, a powdery eyebrow shaping technique is compared to microblading. Before choosing one or another method, it is important to understand the difference between them, the degree of effectiveness of the technique, as well as familiarize yourself with the features of the procedure and care, indications and contraindications.

Powdery eyebrows - what is it and who is it for

Powdery eyebrow dusting is a salon shadow technique, carried out by an experienced tattoo artist. A special way of applying pigment allows you to achieve expressiveness, uniform shade and clarity of lines, creating the effect of natural eyebrows.

After applying the dye, the eyebrows look natural, the effect visually resembles coloring the eyebrows with a soft pencil or shadows with shading. Make-up as a result of powdery dusting turns out to be neat, light, unobtrusive, with an emphasis on the look.

Powdery, or pixelated, method of applying pigment is suitable for:

• owners of light hair, to smooth and harmonize the difference between the shade of the eyebrows and curls;
• eyebrows of insufficient density with "glades" - voids that need additional filling with color;
• those wishing to make a permanent - makeup that does not require daily application or correction;
• accentuation or correction of the natural contour of the eyebrows;
• those whose eyebrows are prone to fading under the influence of UV rays;
• giving the lines well-groomed, if the hairs grow in different directions.

The principle of the pixel technique is the subcutaneous application of pigment. The dye, in contrast to standard tattooing, is not injected so deeply, only into the upper layer of the epidermis. The skin is minimally damaged, so this gentle tattooing method is less painful and is characterized by a short healing time.

The artist applies many small dots that form the general outline of the line to achieve a smooth feathering effect.

As a result, the pigment is sprayed, covering the skin, but does not lie down in a continuous saturated layer. Unlike classic tattooing, the spraying method is completely dependent on natural data, since it can only correct, without drastic changes in color, shape, line location.

The technique is more suitable for owners of the spring-summer color type - with light hair and fair skin.

For girls with dark hair, powder coating is suitable in cases where drastic changes in appearance are not required, but there is a need to place unobtrusive accents, slightly adjust the natural shape, add volume and expressiveness. Powdery tattoo cannot replace eyebrows if there are practically no lines.

Approximate cost in salons

Powdery eyebrows (before and after photos can be seen below) is a new modern technique that is popular.

Spraying price depends on several factors:

• the complexity of the work;
• the qualifications and experience of the master brow artist;
• the category, cost and quality of pigments;
• interior level and quality of equipment;
• the location of the salon.

So, the cost of tattooing in the capital's salons from a qualified brow-master is from 5000 rubles. In the regions, the price of an eyebrow spraying session is slightly lower, from 3500-4000 rubles.

What is eyebrow microblading?

Microblading, or biotattoo, is a modern manual technique. To form a beautiful line and fill voids with pigment, no machines or special devices are required, the success and aesthetics of the result depends entirely on the skill of the brow-master.

The principle of forming a beautiful line with a rich natural shade is to apply shallow cuts to the skin using a special device with micro-blades. Pigment is driven into the micro-cuts, which allows you to achieve the most natural picture with imitation of hairs.

The depth of the micro-cuts must be of a certain value; if applied too superficially, the pigment can migrate, distorting the contours or in a short time be removed along with the dead layer of cells. If the incision is made too deep into the epidermis, scars may remain at the micro-incisions.

To perform microblading, there are 2 main techniques for making incisions with pigment:

• European - the classical technique, with the drawing of the same hairs;
• eastern - a more difficult technique to perform, with the most accurate pattern that mimics the natural growth of hairs.

A distinctive feature of the method, which is sometimes considered a disadvantage, is the high requirements for the qualifications of the master. The work of applying micro-cuts with pigment is jewelry, surgical precision of actions is needed, therefore the hand of the master must be firm.

Subject to the high qualifications of the eyebrowist, as well as the use of high-quality pigments, you can achieve a unique result in the form of natural clear lines without vulgarity, the effect of naturally groomed eyebrows. The guideline for prices for microblading in the salons of the capital is from 8,000 rubles.

Differences between eyebrow spray and microblading

Powdery brows and microblading are somewhat similar, both create a natural effect. In the photo before and after, you can see the difference, since when applying powdery pigment, a light shadow effect is created with shading, and with microblading, more accentuated hair lines are created.

Both methods are effective, modern, and are popular with women of various age categories. In order to determine the most suitable method for yourself, it is important to clearly understand the difference between the methods of applying pigment and the formation of a beautiful eyebrow line.

The main provisions, stages, principles of implementation, effectiveness, the nuances of preparation and care with an analysis of the differences between the two techniques are presented in the table.

When choosing the option of applying pigment to the eyebrow line, it should be understood that powdery application is not suitable for everyone. If you don't like the effect, you have to wait several years. Microblading allows you to create a natural look that is sometimes indistinguishable from natural unpainted brows.

Accurate hair definition is a versatile base that can be tinted slightly by shading a pencil or shadow for a more expressive effect for evening or holiday makeup.

One of the disadvantages of this method is the high cost, which is due to manual jewelry work, as well as the high probability of scarring at the incision sites if the work is performed by an amateur with no experience.

General features

Eyebrow masters in each individual case, after evaluating the initial data and features of appearance, can advise one or another technique. Very often, to achieve the most natural and expressive 6D effect, you can combine techniques, combining powder spraying and microblading.

Both methods, despite several differences, have many similar positive features:

• Naturalness... Both techniques create a beautiful natural effect.
• Individuality... Before each procedure, the brow-master takes into account personal characteristics: the direction of hair growth, their length, density, the presence of voids, volume and shade.
• Longevity... The result obtained by microblading or powdery technique lasts at least 2 years.
• Instant result... Beautiful shape, clarity of lines and brightness of color can be observed immediately after the session.
• Color rendering... The color of the treated hairs does not change dramatically during the entire period, gradually becoming slightly less saturated.
• Palette... For each of the methods, a variety of shades of quality pigments are offered. If necessary, the master can combine colors.
• Training... For each procedure, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory measures, as well as conduct tests for allergies and individual intolerance to drugs.
• Shape selection... Before the procedure, the wizard will perform the entire algorithm of the eyebrow architecture, choosing the most successful shape, thickness, length and bend of the lines.

• Care... Both types of procedures are minimally invasive methods, where the pigment is introduced into the upper layers of the epidermis. For early wound healing and prolongation of the aesthetic effect, simple care is followed.
• The presence of contraindications... Before performing the microblading or pixel spraying procedure, it is important to familiarize yourself with a number of contraindications and, if any of them exist, to postpone the procedure.

The similarity of the two techniques lies in their convenience and versatility.

Microblading and powdering techniques create beautifully defined lines with a soft natural color similar to natural brows.

Each method has its own nuances of applying pigment; both methods do not imply filling with color, as in classic tattooing. The application takes place in fragments, which requires professionalism and accuracy of actions from the masters.

Who are the techniques for?

Powdery eyebrows (photos before and after are presented in the article) allow you to beautifully emphasize the natural shape, slightly give a shade, without radically changing the natural data. Using the microblading method, you can place the necessary accents, slightly adjust the shape, add brightness to the color, while maintaining the natural well-groomed appearance of the lines and hairs.

This or that technique is suitable in different cases:

• The powdery method of spraying is more suitable for girls over 30 years old who want to always look neat and presentable. The lines are smooth, expressive, without a clearly defined border.
• Microblading is chosen by girls under 30 years old who are in search of a new bright image and, if desired, will perform correction.
• If by nature the hairs on the eyebrows are thin, without density, then the two techniques are combined to create volume and an even, naturally intense shade.

• Microblading is chosen in order to create an accent, expressive lines with a well-defined contour, but with the most natural effect of neatly growing hairs.
• The powdery technique allows you to forget about everyday make-up for several years, to create a uniform soft eyebrow color with a slight accent on the eye.
• Microblading is used when it is necessary to correct the asymmetry of the eyebrows.
• Powder dusting is chosen by girls of spring or summer color type with blond hair. With the help of pixel application, you can harmonize the balance of hair and eyebrow color.

When choosing a technique, it is also worth considering the fact that tattooing is more painful, the recovery period after microblading takes less time. It cannot be argued that one method is better or worse than the other, each technique has positive and negative sides, allowing you to solve certain aesthetic problems.

Preparation for the procedure

Powdery eyebrows, before and after photos prove the effectiveness of the technique - this is one of the best modern beauty correction methods. The procedure is quite painful, with the introduction of pigment subcutaneously.

To maintain the result as long as possible and shorten the healing period, you need to prepare for the tattoo session:

• For 10-14 days, exclude any aesthetic procedures for the eyebrows.
• Avoid exposure to the eyebrow area of ​​UV rays, going to the solarium.
• For 2 weeks, start prophylaxis of anti-herpes therapy in order to exclude the development of infection.
• The day before the session, you should not abuse strong coffee, smoking, alcoholic beverages, energy drinks.
• To exclude therapy with blood thinning drugs, from the diet - spicy and salty dishes, so as not to provoke puffiness.

Before the procedure, it is recommended to conduct an allergy test for pigment components, since a negative reaction of the body can lead to undesirable side effects.

Powder spraying technique

The procedure is performed in several stages:

1. Preparation of the working area.The master carries out make-up removal, thoroughly cleansing the skin from impurities and decorative cosmetics.
2. Performing shape modeling and correction with the removal of excess hairs with a thread or tweezers.
3. Preparation of a sketch with drawing out the contours and bending with a cosmetic pencil.
4. Selection of the shade of the pigment.
5. Disinfection of the area and application of primary anesthesia to the sensitive area to reduce the pain of the procedure.
6. Drawing the contour with a vibro-device for tattooing with the introduction of pigment subcutaneously using a handpiece needle.
7. Spot filling of the entire brow line with pigment.
8. Processing with a fixing agent.

With a low pain threshold, secondary anesthesia can be performed at any stage. It is important to distinguish discomfort from pain, as repeated anesthesia has a negative effect on the body. The color is adjusted during the session, the intensity of the shade will depend on the number of layers applied.

Post-procedure care

Powdery eyebrows (before and after photos clearly show the result) require careful maintenance.

To maintain the original brightness of the pigment shade and shorten the rehabilitation period after tattooing, you must follow the rules of care:

• Within 2-3 days after spraying, it is necessary to limit the ingress of moisture to the treated area.
• Do not apply decorative cosmetics to the spray area for 4-5 days.
• Do not use scrubbing, cleaning within 1 month after applying the pigment.
• If peeling and crusting occurs, do not pull them off. Apply petroleum jelly to soften the contour area.
• For 3-4 weeks, exclude visits to saunas, baths, swimming pools.
• When going outside, wear sunglasses that cover your eyebrow line or apply sunscreen.
• When styling or blow-drying your hair, avoid hot air entering the treated area.

After spraying, it is not recommended to carry out aggressive cosmetic procedures, to apply products containing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide.

In daily care, it is necessary to exclude nourishing creams with an alcohol base, they inhibit the healing process. You can moisturize your skin with a cotton swab soaked in almond, olive or peach oil.

Healing process

Even after a gentle spray tattoo, some may feel discomfort. The healing process can take from several days to several weeks. It may be accompanied by slight itching, a feeling of dryness, the formation of crusts, which are strongly discouraged to tear off.

An experienced master with the naked eye will see the areas where the crusts have come off themselves, and where they were forcibly removed... The crusts disappear in 4-5 days, after which the eyebrows acquire a more natural and neat look. Sometimes the tint of the tattoo is too pale.

This may be due to the fact that the upper layer of the epidermis has not completely healed, and particles of paint show through the film of young skin. Final color stabilization can be observed 2-3 weeks after the procedure.

Duration of effect and subsequent correction

The duration of the effect may depend on several factors:

• From age. Up to 25 years, regeneration processes occur faster, so the result will last no more than 1.5-2 years. In women over 40, the pigment may remain the original 3-4 years.
• Activity of metabolic processes... Accelerated metabolism and active sports activities contribute to faster removal of pigment.
• Frequent use of scrubs... Scrubbing leads to the elimination of the stratum corneum, along with it, the pigment is gradually removed.
• The immune system and defense responses... In rare cases, the pigment can be rejected by the body by 50-90%.
• The influence of the sun's rays, visiting the solarium... Frequent tanning will cause the color to fade.

The first tattoo correction is carried out in 1-1.5 months in order to finalize the result to the ideal. Subsequent corrections are carried out 1-2 times a year. If it is not carried out in a timely manner, the base of the pigment will show through, which can give an unexpected shade.

Blue may appear on black pigment, and redness on brown. On average, the duration of the aesthetic effect of powder coating can last 2-3 years, after which correction can be carried out.

Side effects

The following side effects may occur after eyebrow spraying:

• swelling;
• hematomas;
• scarring;
• introduction of infections;
• the appearance of erytherma;
• painful itching, hives;
• allergic reactions.

Sometimes the result can be an unpleasant "surprise" - uneven coloration, bad shape or color. This is the aesthetic risk of the technique. The powdery technique is difficult to correct, a repeated procedure or microblading will help to correct the situation a little, but not earlier than after 2-3 months. A repeated allergy test is required before correction.

To avoid negative manifestations after pixel tattooing, you need to pay attention to the professionalism, experience of the brow-master, compliance with sanitary standards, the quality of equipment and pigments used in the work.

The powder eyebrow technique allows you to achieve a harmonious natural effect with a perfectly blended shade, the results can be seen in the photo before and after the tattoo session. This method of permanent makeup is aesthetic, effective, low-traumatic and durable. It requires high professionalism from the master, adherence to the rules of septic tanks and the use of high-quality pigments.
