What is Ombre brows/ What do they look like?
- Ombré - the term from the French word meaning shading or shaded. A normal ombré effect usually starts dark and gets lighter. For eyebrows it is the reverse. It starts light at the front of the brow and gets darker towards the tail. Ombré browses also known as powder or shaded brows.
- They are smudge proof and waterproof.
- It is a semi-permanent make up procedure and the technique has been been around for decades whilst improving the time. It is a two stage process:
First stage: Using a tattoo machine, pigment is inserted into the top layers of the skin/ epidermis.
Second stage: First stage is repeated. Touch up 4 - 6 weeks later.
- If no top up procedure is done afterwards, over time most ombré brows will fade.
- Factors that can cause your ombré brows to fade faster:
- Sun exposure/ tanning beds
