Hello! My name is Alena Pat and I am an experienced permanent makeup specialist. Today I want to tell you about how to choose a shape for permanent makeup Powder Brows.

The first thing to consider when choosing an eyebrow shape is the shape of your face. For every face type, there is a certain eyebrow shape that suits best. For example, for a heart-shaped face, eyebrows with a small arch are most suitable, and for an oval-shaped face, smoother and rounded eyebrows are most suitable.

It is also important to consider the natural shape of your eyebrows. Permanent makeup should look natural and harmonious with your natural eyebrows. Therefore, if you already have a good shape of your eyebrows, then you can opt for permanent makeup, which will help emphasize their natural beauty.

Hair color also matters when choosing the shape of the eyebrows for permanent makeup. The color of the eyebrows should match the color of the hair to create a natural and harmonious look. If you are not sure which color to choose, then an experienced permanent makeup specialist will help you choose the perfect one.

Another factor to consider when choosing an eyebrow shape is your individual style. If you often play sports or swim, then it is better to choose a more stable brow shape that will not wear off when in contact with water.

Finally, do not forget that choosing a form for permanent makeup is a long-term decision. Therefore, it is important to think carefully about your choice and contact a permanent makeup specialist who will help you choose the best option and offer sketches so that you can imagine how your eyebrows will look after the procedure.

If you have eyebrow asymmetry, do not despair. I, as an experienced permanent makeup specialist, know how to solve this problem. During the procedure, I pay attention to the smallest details in order to create a symmetrical shape of the eyebrows. To do this, I use various methods, such as measuring points on the face and using special tools to create the correct shape of the eyebrows.

However, before the procedure, I always check with the client what shape of eyebrows he wants to receive. Ultimately, the choice of the shape of the eyebrows remains with the client, but I try to offer options that will equalize the asymmetry and make the eyebrows more symmetrical.

In addition to offering sketches, I also consult with the client to understand what type of eyebrow is best for him. It is important to understand that each person is unique and has their own individual eyebrow shape. Therefore, I always try to take into account the characteristics of each client when choosing the shape of the eyebrows.

As a result, when carrying out permanent makeup, I always try to achieve the best result, taking into account the individual characteristics of the client and his wishes, but also do not forget about the limitations associated with the correction of asymmetry.

1. Skin conditions: People with certain skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, may need to avoid powered brows as they can exacerbate the condition and cause discomfort.

2. Blood-thinning medication: People who are taking blood-thinning medication may need to avoid powered brows as they may bleed more during the procedure, which can affect the final result.

3. Pregnancy or breastfeeding: Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may need to postpone getting powered brows until after they have finished nursing, as the ink can potentially be harmful to the baby.

4. Allergies: People who have allergies to ink or other cosmetic products may need to avoid powered brows, as they can cause allergic reactions.

5. Healing issues: People with a history of healing issues, such as keloid scarring, may need to avoid powered brows as the healing process may be more difficult and the results may not be as expected.

It's important to consult with a licensed professional and discuss any health concerns or conditions you may have before getting powered brows.  I can assess your individual situation and make recommendations for the best course of action

Like any cosmetic procedure, permanent eyebrow makeup comes with some risks. These risks include:

1. Infection: This risk can be minimized because I use sterile disposable needles and equipment and practice good hygiene.

2. Allergic Reactions: Some people may be allergic to the pigments or dyes used in permanent eyebrow tattooing, which may cause an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and may include itching, swelling, and redness. In this case, you need to contact your doctor.

3. Scars: Some people may be prone to scarring and develop keloid or hypertrophic scars. But I use surface application of coloring pigment in Powder eyebrows (I do) and this risk is minimal, unlike eyebrow tattoos (which I do not), where the dyes are placed deep into the skin or Microblading (I do not do microblading), where the skin is cut with a blade and then scars form.

4. Color change. The color of Powder Brows can fade or change over time, especially if the person is exposed to the sun or uses certain skin care products. Therefore, I recommend using a sunscreen with SPF +50 on the permanent makeup area and it will look better for longer. Therefore, when you change the color, you come to the correction, and I supplement the formula to the remaining color in the eyebrows.

5. Uneven Appearance: If the client has facial asymmetry, permanent makeup can make it more visible. Therefore, we analyze the natural asymmetry of the client, and making a sketch, I strive to correct and bring to harmonious forms individually for each client.

6. Regret. Finally, it is important to remember that permanent brow makeup is exactly what remains for a short time (if it is minerals) or a long time (if organics, inorganics or hybrids have been added). If a person changes their mind or no longer likes the look of permanent makeup, removing it completely may be difficult or impossible. In some cases, the pigment may completely come out of the skin.

7. One of the most common risks faced by Permanent Makeup Artists in the USA is that the master introduces a lot of White in the pigment composition and after that the Titanium Dioxide never comes out of the skin on its own. I never take formulations in Eyebrows that contain White - Titanium Dioxide. I use some of the safest pigment formulations and carefully check every name in every Pigment formulation. I guarantee that White will never hit your eyebrows. In the photo you can see how the white dissolves in the water and you can know exactly what happens in the browns where the white is contained. That's why I never take white pigments for Powder Brows for my clients. I use the safest brow pigments.

To minimize risks, follow the recommendations

Powder brows and Ombre brows are two popular types of permanent makeup for eyebrows. The healing process for these types of eyebrow tattoos can vary slightly, but generally follows a similar pattern.

Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will appear darker and more intense than the final result. This is because the pigment needs time to settle into the skin and some of the color will naturally fade during the healing process.

In the first few days after the procedure, the eyebrows may feel tender, slightly swollen, and may appear red. This is a normal reaction to the trauma caused by the needles used during the procedure. The technician may advise you to apply a cold compress (not ice) to help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Around the second day, scabbing and flaking may occur as the skin begins to heal. It's important to avoid scratching or picking at the scabs as this can cause the pigment to be pulled out of the skin and result in patchy or uneven healing.

Over the next few weeks, the pigment will continue to settle into the skin and the color will soften and lighten. The final result of the Powder or Ombre Brow may take up to six weeks to fully reveal itself.

During the healing process, it's important to avoid excessive sweating, swimming, and exposure to sunlight as these factors can cause the color to fade prematurely. It's also important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the technician to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of infection or complications.

Overall, with proper aftercare and patience, the healed result of Powder brows or Ombre brows can be a natural-looking, long-lasting solution for enhancing the appearance of eyebrows.
