Powder Brows

Updated: Mar 25, 2023

Our favourite feature of the face are eyebrows. Designing the perfect brow to suit each unique face can completely change a person’s look. Brows frame the eyes and can make you look more approachable, professional, and overall more pulled together.


Powder Brows

Initial Appointment – $299 3hrs Ombre/Powder Brows fill in the brow using more of a traditional tattoo technique with longer lasting results. Your brows will look fuller and more defined than with microblading. If you fill in your brows regularly, then this method is for you. It heals very soft and natural. Pixelated dots are used to mimic powder and is fully customizable and buildable from lighter brows to darker brows.

Additional Touch Ups – $100 2hrs Most of the time, your brows are completely done after the first touch up. If a third appointment is required, regardless of cause or reason, there will be a $100 fee.

What are Ombre/Powder Brows?

Powder Brows is a semi-permanent technique but uses a traditional tattooing method done with a wireless tattooing pen.


Ombre just means that the eyebrows are lighter in the fronts and darker at the tails. Powder refers to the pixelated dots implanted into the skin that mimic powder. This type of brow is minimally invasive, and heal very soft and natural. It can be buildable from light to dark. This method works best on all skin types, including oily and combination. Powder Brows are defined yet soft, like a powdery makeup finish.


What to expect during a powder ombre eyebrow appointment?

I'll start with an eyebrow consultation. This is where we discuss shape, size, colour and go over any questions you might have before we start to create the eyebrow mapping. The mapping for powder brows takes a little longer than mapping for other techniques. Once that's done, I have you take a look and make any adjustments if needed before moving on to the procedure!

During your powder ombré eyebrow procedure, I create the outline then apply numbing and use a sterile, single-use cartridge and digital machine to fill in. After, the pigment is applied and a brush is used to massage ink into the area, wipe and repeat until process till completed! With powder ombré a lot of the time you don't feel anything the first pass, but I still apply numbing throughout the procedure!


How long does a eyebrow powder ombre appointment take?

It can takes at least 2 hours sometimes even 2.5 depending on facial anatomy and skin type. This includes consultation, eyebrow mapping and the actual procedure itself!



Who is a candidate for powder brows?

Almost anyone can benefit from powder ombre brows, but there are a few factors that might make you a better candidate for this procedure:


  • You prefer shaped eyebrows.

  • You prefer full eyebrows.

  • You have any type of skin (dry, thin, mature, normal, sensitive or oily).

  • You fill in your brows solid with makeup daily.

  • You have thin eyebrows.

  • You have old previous work.

  • You need a colour correction.

  • You are not satisfied with the shape of your natural eyebrows.

  • You have gaps in your brows due to over-plucking or other reasons.

Is numbing used during an powder appointment?

Powder is very gentle and causes the least amount of discomfort. Sometimes clients opt out of numbing because of it's minimal pain level! But yes, I use a strong numbing agent with lidocaine and epinephrine to ensure your procedure is comfortable and almost painless.


How to prepare for powder eyebrow appointment?

The best way to prepare for your eyebrow powder appointment is to avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior. This includes decaf, tea, energy drinks, and exercise supplements. You should also avoid taking ibuprofen tablets 24 hours prior (Advil, Niacin, Aspirin, Robaxacet). Additionally, stop taking fish oils 3 days prior to your appointment. It's also helpful for your skin to be in good health on the procedure area itself and sun exposure-free 1 week prior to your appointment.


Caffeine, alcohol and ibuprofen can cause blood to thin, which increases bleeding and discomfort. Following these instructions will ensure that you have the best eyebrow microblading experience possible.



Can I Remove the Results of the Powder Eyebrow Treatment?

If you’re not happy with the results and don’t want to wait until they fade naturally, there are ways to remove powder eyebrows; although, it can take some time and effort.

e most obvious way is to do all the things that accelerate fading: sunbathe, wash your face often, visit saunas, etc. The alternatives are saline removal and laser removal, which can get expensive and take time.


The best solution seems to be scheduling a correction appointment and trying and fix them. Also, you can try a different artist, if you don’t trust your initial choice anymore.


How Long Do Powder Brows Last?

Powder brows can last for 1 to 3 years, but everything depends on your skin type and aftercare.


A touch up is always required after 6 – 8 weeks after the initial appointment when your artist will assess progress and see if you need to change your aftercare routine.

Bear in mind that clients who choose a softer look and a lighter color, or don’t follow the aftercare instructions carefully may require more touch up appointments.
