What is The Ombre Brow – The wise actor Jack Black once said that we should never underestimate the power of the eyebrow. He was not wrong. Eyebrows shape and frame our face and are instrumental in conveying our every emotion. Grooming our eyebrows has been central to our beauty regimes for centuries. From the beautifully painted eyebrows of ancient Egyptian princes and princesses, to Marilyn Monroe’s famously arched brow, to the bold eyebrow of the 21st century, the world has always been obsessed with eyebrows. As our interests in eyebrows continue to change and evolve, so too do the methods we use to create them. One of the most popular ways of shaping our brows in today’s world is to use semi-permanent makeup techniques that ensure our brows are always on fleek – even when we’re sleeping! There a number of techniques that SPMU artists use to create the perfect brow. These include microblading and micropigmentation (otherwise known as the Ombre Brow technique). This article is going to focus particularly on the Ombre Brow technique and why it stands out as our favourite SPMU procedure for brows.
So what actually are Ombre Brows?
The Ombre Brow is designed to create a natural and soft looking brow. Rather than using a block colour throughout the entire brow, the Ombre Brow technique uses a soft diluted colour at the front of the brow and then slowly increases the gradient to produce a darker colour at the tail of the brow. The result: a soft, misty and fluffy finish which compliments the natural shape and colour of the brow, giving it great depth and definition. The Ombre Brow technique will heal to reveal very natural results which last up to three years, providing aftercare is carried out correctly. The Ombre Brow is not only the perfect technique for creating a natural looking brow but can be tailored to suit the needs for each individual client.
