Enhancing Brows

Brows Frame the Face
There are a variety of ways to enhance brows

Debbie specializes in the powder look, also known as the ombre technique, for eyebrows, allowing for a natural or made-up appearance based on her clients preferences. This method creates a soft, shaded effect that enhances the brows fullness and definition. With over 30 years of experience exploring various artistic approaches to brow procedures, she has found that her clients consistently prefer the powder look application.
In contrast to other techniques, which may produce a sparser appearance once healed, the powder brow technique tends to last longer than the hair stroke style. This method provides greater definition and color to the brows.

The powder look can be shaded in lighter or darker tones adding an element of glamour. The front of
the brows can be styled with no color, lightly tinted, or enhanced with hair strokes (microblading) for a
more natural artistic finish. This brow semi-permanent procedure results in a fuller and more defined brow look, which may require refreshing up in 1 to 3 years.

When picking out the color for brows it is very important to consider the undertone of each client. It is always color plus undertone that equals the healed color result. People have warm, cool or natural undertones. It never changes. Cool people usually look better in pinks, blues, white and black colors, silver jewelry and do not tan easily. In general a person that has warm undertones looks better in brown, beige, red brown and coral colors, gold jewelry and tan each. Below Debbie has added pages from her permanent makeup manual that shows good examples of who would be a warm or cool undertone.

What to expect during the healing process for the color?

Initially, the area from your procedure may appear darker, but you can expect lightening of the color by 20% to 50% as it heals.
