Powder Ombré Brows
Powder Ombré is a cosmetic tattoo technique that uses natural pigments to create a soft, gradient effect on your brows. This technique offers a range from soft to bold results, allowing you to enjoy manicured, full brows without the daily hassle of makeup application. The result is similar to brow henna or hybrid tint but lasts significantly longer and is more effective in filling in sparse areas.

Powder Ombré can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. For optimal results, touch-ups are recommended every 6 months to 3 years. If you have oily skin, sweat frequently, or are often in the sun, you may require touch-ups sooner. To preserve your brow colour and prevent it from turning cool over time, it’s recommended to apply sunscreen to your brows after the procedure. Prior to booking an appointment, please carefully read all information & policies below.

To ensure proper healing and optimal results, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions below. Failure to do so may impact the outcome of your procedure.
Day 1:
• Gently wash the brow area with a mild cleanser and pat dry (no rubbing).
Day 2 - 14:
• Once a day, lightly wipe or pat the brows with a damp cotton pad or cotton ball to remove debris, oils, and makeup.
For the duration of healing:
• Avoid excessive water exposure on the brows.
• No makeup on the brows.
• Avoid sun tanning, swimming, sauna, hot yoga, or excessive sweating.
• Do not use soap, exfoliants, makeup, creams, or sunscreen on the brow area.
• Do not rub or pick at dry, flaky skin or scabs.
• Avoid sleeping on your face during the scabbing process.
Day 4 onward:
• If the brows feel itchy, dry, or flaky, you may apply a thin layer of Cetaphil, Aquaphor, or Vitamin E—no more than 2x a day.
Important:
• Do not get the brow area wet for the next 1 - 14 days as it heals. A minor splash of water is fine, but prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. If they get wet, gently pat the area dry (do not rub)
What to Expect in the First 1 - 14 Days:
• Swelling and redness for the first 1 - 3 days is normal and will subside. Ice packs can help reduce swelling.
• A slight tender sensation is normal. The tattooed area will start to form scabs, which will appear darker and thicker (2 - 3 shades).
• From Day 4 - 7, scabs will start to fall off in pieces, and the brows may appear patchy. Flaking or crusting of the skin is also normal.
• Patience is key: When the scabs fall off, the colour will lighten by 30 - 50%, which is completely normal. The colour will gradually darken over the next 2 - 3 weeks and be fully developed by Week 5. At this point, the colour will be final. Any adjustments can be made during your touch-up session.
