This technique is suitable for all skin types.

HOW LONG WILL OMBRE POWDER BROWS LAST?
This micro shading technique can last an average of between 1-3 years. Over time, the tattoo will fade lighter and shrink around the edges. How fast it fades depends on your skin type, lifestyle, age, and how often you go back for touch-ups.
TOUCH UP
The freshly tattooed brows will heal 30-40% lighter, therefore a touch-up is recommended around the 6-8 week timeframe after the initial appointment. All clientsâ skin takes in permanent makeup differently therefore, this âperfectingâ session can darken or thicken the shape if necessary.
After the perfecting session, clients may come back for touch-ups as needed. It is not necessary to get a touch-up annually if the brows are still intact. Preserving the integrity of the skin is better in the long run. Usually, clients come in at the 1-2 year mark.Â

AFTERCARE
For 7 days following application of permanent cosmetics:
— Do not touch, rub or pick the pigmented area while it's healing with your fingers, they may have bacteria on them and create an infection.
— Apply your vitamin A&D ointment if brows are itchy starting from the 3rd day. Always use a clean cotton swab and not your fingertips.

— Use a “total sun block” after the procedure area has healed to prevent future fading of pigment color.
— Do not use products that contain AHA’s on the procedure area.
Ex: Glycolic, Lactic Acids. Always check your product labeling - it will fade your pigment color.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in pigment color loss! All permanent make-up procedures are a two-step process.
