Ombre powder eyebrows are a new beauty trend that comes from Asia and is also becoming increasingly popular in the Western world.

This effect makes the eyebrows appear very full and thick. So if you don't feel like it anymore, your every morningDefine brows, then ombre powder eyebrows are just right for you!
What exactly are ombre powder eyebrows?
Ombre powder eyebrows, also known as powdered brows, are a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that creates a soft, natural look. The Ombre Brows are created using a small pigmentation machine and the pigment dots are distributed on the skin using a fine shading technique. The beauty trend gives the face a special depth and the airier shading in the upper front area ensures a gentle result. Thanks to the special technique, the eyebrows look like they are powdered and somehow always look lightly made up, even if the rest of the face is not. Since this is permanent make-up, you should seek advice in advance from your trusted cosmetic studio. There you will discuss with the beautician which intensity, shape and color you want.
As the name suggests, two different colors are often used for ombre powder eyebrows to create a slight color gradient. Depending on your personal taste, the ombre effect can be either more intense or more natural. Immediately after the treatment the color is still very noticeable, but the coloring becomes more natural after 2-3 days. There is no single answer to the question of whether the procedure is painful. Finally, pain varies greatly from person to person. Women who pluck their eyebrows regularly will not find the treatment as painful, while women who have never plucked their eyebrows or pluck their eyebrows fairly rarely may experience some degree of pain. But to make the procedure as comfortable and painless as possible, the esthetician first applies a topical anesthetic cream.
How long do ombre powder eyebrows last and how expensive is the treatment?
Although ombre powder eyebrows are a semi-permanent treatment, there are a few factors that determine how long the pigmentation lasts. These include, for example, the condition of the skin, the state of health and behavioral factors such as sunbathing, etc. According to experts, you can expect a shelf life of between 1 and 3 years. However, for optimal results, it is recommended to refresh your eyebrows once a year. As with any other beauty procedure, the cost of ombre powder eyebrows can vary greatly depending on the location and beauty salon. A little tip from us – don’t make your decision based on price alone and make sure you go to an experienced beautician who knows exactly what she’s doing. The first treatment including follow-up work after 6 weeks usually costs between 500 and 700 euros.
