Are you considering a lasting solution to perfect brows that frame your face without the fuss of filling them in with an eyebrow pencil? Permanent eyebrow techniques have revolutionized the beauty industry, offering long-lasting solutions that cater to various preferences and skin types, particularly for busy, discerning women. At Makeup by Sherviii in NYC, we specialize in one of the most popular techniques: microshading. Understanding microshading and how it differs from its former competitor - microblading is the first step to achieving the flawless brows you desire.


Microblading: When You Desire Natural Hair Strokes

Microblading, often the buzzword in the beauty sector, involves using a handheld blade to create fine, hair-like strokes that mimic the natural direction and length of your brows. The pigment is implanted into the epidermis layer of the skin, resulting in a natural-looking enhancement. The problem with microblading is that it only suits some skin types. It often causes skin damage if the brow artist isn't careful in navigating the client's skin. With persons who have oily skin, the hair strokes blur over time. And can sometimes look like what we call "blobs."



Microshading: Soft Powder and Ombré

Microshading, sometimes called powder brows, involves using a handheld machine to create a soft, powdered effect that looks like you've just filled in your brows with brow powder. This technique is especially beneficial for individuals with oily skin or those who prefer a fuller and slightly more defined brow appearance.



Choosing Between Microblading and Microshading

The decision between microblading and microshading largely depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and the aesthetic you are aiming for. If you're looking for a hyper-realistic look, microblading might be your go-to. For those who are accustomed to the look of powder-filled brows or have skin that tends to be more oily, microshading is the ideal choice.
