What is powder eyebrow plastering? Powder eyebrow tattoo is one of the most modern techniques of permanent colouring. First, the master draws the shape of the eyebrows. And here it is essential to watch what he does: a deviation of one millimetre, which will please the master but will not suit you, will embarrass you for a long time if you do not notice it in time. So, control the process.
Then, the pigment is injected point by point between the hairs and gently blended – as if you had applied a pencil or shadow. This allows you to gently correct the shape of your eyebrows and emphasise your natural beauty. You get such light makeup for every day.
How powder spraying differs from microblading
Speaking of permanent makeup and similar procedures, most often remember tattooing and microblading. However, tattooing is gradually losing relevance because of its ‘heavy’ effect on the eyebrows, which look unnatural. However, microblading and powder spraying are more prevalent in the era of fashion for naturalness.
Microblading is an imitation of natural hair: the master makes a micro-incision the size of a hair and fills it with pigment. With powder spraying, the pigment is applied point by point, and the shape is corrected by blending, so you get a more natural effect.
Powder spraying is one of the ‘soft’ versions of permanent colouring, which has peculiarities.
Pros
- It’s painless. The pigment is introduced shallowly in the upper layers of the skin, so the procedure is quite comfortable. But take into account your condition before going to the salon—we wrote about it below.
- Takes care of eyebrows. When spraying, the master works only with the space between the hairs without touching them, ensuring that your eyebrows remain healthy.
- Practical. The result of spraying lasts 1-2 years. During this period, you can slightly adjust your eyebrows: the technician usually schedules another procedure to consolidate the result and see if everything is in order after the first time. Over time, the pigment gradually lightens, not thoroughly washed away.
- It looks natural. Spot application and blending allow you to achieve the most natural effect. In addition, the pigment shades can be mixed to get as close to your eyebrow colour as possible.
- Available. Powder coating appeared not so long ago but has already become popular. It can be done in many professional beauty salons—on average, it costs 5000 rubles for one procedure. Considering how much time you will save afterwards, such a price seems quite understandable.
Minuses
- Moderate correction. Powder spraying neatly emphasises the contour but does not make it as clear as microblading. For strong correction of non-thick eyebrows, we usually choose the second option, sometimes tattooing. However, some masters escape the situation and combine microblading and powder spraying.
- The healing process. Within a few days after the procedure, a thin crust forms on the eyebrows, which will come off for about a week. The eyebrow area fully heals for about a month. During this time, you should be less in the sun (UV is harmful to sensitive skin), carefully use cosmetics, especially with oils, and if possible, avoid contact with water (especially in the first few days).
Who is suitable for powder plumping
The procedure is more suitable for those who want to correct the contour of the eyebrows slightly and who have enough hairs, but they need to be nicely shaped and fill in small voids. Also, powder spraying will help when you need to achieve a uniform shade of hair and eyebrows if they are different.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Viral infections.
- Tendency to allergies.
- Hypersensitivity.
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Severe acne, acne.
Powder spraying is also not recommended during pregnancy, menstruation, or lactation. Before going to the salon, you need to consult your doctor and the master and consider your current condition.
Tips
- Prepare. At least a week before the procedure, stop drinking alcohol and energy. They affect blood pressure, dilate blood vessels, and thin the blood. The speed of skin healing depends on this.
- After the procedure, carefully treat the skin with chlorhexidine and ointment, which the master will advise.
- To sweat less, exclude visits to the gym, saunas, and baths. This may affect the result of the spraying.
Powder spraying is not a ‘radical’ method as microblading or tattooing, but it has many advantages. It is perfect for those who want to save time on daily makeup and emphasise their natural beauty without severe cosmetological interventions. It is only essential to find a good master and decide what result you want to see.
