Full and thick eyebrows – a dream of many women. With Powder Brows this wish becomes possible! You can find out what the eyebrow trend is all about here.
What are powder brows?
Eyebrows accentuate our eyes and contour our face. Unfortunately, we are not always blessed with full, thick brows: This can be due to plucking errors, deficiency symptoms, hormonal changes, illnesses, medication or hair roots damaged by cosmetics. But often we just want to emphasize our eyebrows a little more. Here you can use the eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder if you don’t necessarily want to undergo microblading. But there is another option for full brows that has sparked a new eyebrow trend for a while: We are talking about the so-called powder brows.
Powder Brows are one of the techniques with permanent make-up. It is an application technique of permanent color that conjures up even and thick eyebrows. A fine nano-needle (similar to a tattoo machine) is used, with the help of which the permanent make-up is stabbed under the eyebrows. As a result, there are no hard lines, but small dots that offer soft shades. The result: eyebrows that look like they were powder used – hence the name Powder Brows. The treatment is offered in good cosmetic studios.
How long do powder brows last?
Powder brows can last up to two years. Some users even report a shelf life of up to three years. Often, however, a follow-up treatment is applied after a while so that the color stays fresh. Basically you have to keep in mind that the durability of the Powder Brows depends on the Regeneration speed and the condition of the skin. The shelf life can be reduced, especially with oily skin and young skin.
