Microblading vs. Ombre Powder Brows

There’s a buzz around two methods of eyebrow tattoos: ombre powder brows vs microblading. They’re both top choices, each with its vibe and finish, so you must weigh your options before settling on one.

Microblading is like having a little artist sketch fine, hair-like strokes on your brows with a unique tool. The magic here is its ability to mimic the real deal: brow hairs. If you’re aiming for that natural but polished look, microblading might be your calling. Plus, with smaller needles doing the work, it usually hurts less than its ombre counterpart – a bonus if you’re not a fan of pain.

We’re talking about a machine laying down pigment in a way that is lighter at the start and darker towards the tail – like your brows graduated from makeup school.
