Microblading vs Ombre Brows

Microblading and ombre brows use different techniques to achieve similar, but different results. Individual hair-like strokes are used during microblading while ombre brows give a powdered effect with a color gradient.

What are Ombre Brows?

Ombre brows are a semi-permanent eyebrow makeup technique and create a soft, powdered effect on the eyebrows. This technique uses a rotary tattoo machine to give a gradient effect, fading the pigment from light to dark. The result is a more filled-in and "makeup" look compared to microblading, which focuses on creating individual hair-like strokes. Ombre brows are a popular option for those looking to enhance their eyebrows and achieve a more defined and filled-in look.
