Why Powder Brows Are A Popular Semi-Permanent Makeup Trend

When it comes to permanent and semi-permanent makeup, you’ve probably heard of powder brows. This semi-permanent makeup technique is used to create fuller, more beautiful eyebrows. That’s why unDONE Salon would like to provide you with the following reasons powder brows are a popular semi-permanent makeup trend.

What Are Powder Brows?

Powder brows are a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates a soft shaded pencil brow look. First developed in Asia, powder brows have grown in popularity throughout the U.S as the method has been improved and perfected. Why? It creates wonderful definition and adds depth to your eyebrows without the need to apply makeup every day. It is particularly good for those with oily to combination skin or anyone tired of filling in their eyebrows regularly with makeup.

Powder Brows Vs. Microblading

The biggest difference between powder brows and microblading is how pigment is deposited into the skin. Microblading is done by using a small sharp tool that applies small cuts into the skin that are repeated into the same spots. On the other hand, powder brows are applied using a handheld wand that disperses extremely fine pigment into and across your skin using an airbrush-shading technique.

Do Powder Brows Hurt?

Everyone’s pain threshold is different. However, powder brows are much less invasive than microblading because there’s minimal pain or bleeding during the procedure. In fact, most of our clients at unDONE report that the procedure feels more like an electric toothbrush being pressed against their skin or rapid tweezing.

How Long Powder Brows Last

Powder brows can last anywhere from 2-5 years, depending on a person’s skin type and individual lifestyle. After a professional touch-up 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment, you will only need to have your eyebrows touched up once a year. Microblading, however, often requires more frequent touch-ups, resulting in long-term wear and tear to the skin, which can cause permanent scarring. That’s why it’s important to choose the less invasive method of powder brows to save your skin’s integrity.

The Main Benefits of Powder Brows?

  • Powder brows are suitable for most skin types.
  • You’ll get fuller, more defined-looking eyebrows.
  • Powder brows last longer than other semi-permanent makeup techniques.
  • Powder brows are less invasive and less painful vs. microblading.

Who Shouldn’t Get Powder Brows?

Powder brows should be avoided or considered by a doctor if you have any of the following pre-existing health conditions:

  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Epilepsy or autoimmune disorders
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Viral infections
  • Skin irritations
  • Vitiligo
  • Heart problems
  • Pregnancy
  • High blood pressure

Powder Brows After-Care

You will be sent home with a list of after-care instructions following a powder brow treatment. It’s also important to avoid the following for at least 1-2 weeks after treatment:

  • Excessive sweating (working out)
  • Makeup around the brows
  • Heavy sun exposure
  • Facial treatments
  • Long, hot showers
  • Overwashing your face

Top Reasons To Get Powder Brows

Have you been considering the semi-permanent makeup solution of powder brows but are still on the fence? While there are always reasons not to do something, you can drive yourself crazy, weighing the pros and cons. That’s why unDONE Salon would like to help you make the best decision by providing you with the top five reasons you should get powder brows!

Your Lifestyle

Maybe you love working out but are sick of looking like your eyebrows are running off your face. Or perhaps your eyebrows are thinner than you’d like them to be. Either way, we all want to look our best – that’s why we wear makeup! However, if you live an active lifestyle, the last thing you have time for is worrying about your eyebrows 24/7. That’s what makes powder brows so amazing. As a semi-permanent makeup solution, you won’t have to worry about your makeup rubbing or melting off, and you won’t have to draw and fill in your eyebrows every day!

You Overplucked

If you grew up in the 90s, you can probably relate to this problem. Millennials today don’t follow the same razor-thin trends we did to look like Gwen Stefani, Pam Anderson, or the Spice Girls. If you over-plucked your eyebrows in your youth, we now have solutions to fix the mistakes of the past. If you are tired of drawing and filling in your eyebrows because they never grew back, powder brows are an excellent option to consider. At unDONE, our trained and certified brow expert can help you create natural-looking eyebrows that complement and balance your features.

Appear More Youthful

EVERYONE looks better with fuller eyebrows. When we reminisce of how we looked in the past, it’s usually a thinner body frame and a fuller browed face. The older we get, the more weight we put on, and our hair naturally starts to thin. When done correctly (following your natural facial structure) powder brows will instantly make you look younger, because you’ll have fuller eyebrows!

A Non-Surgical Eye Lift

Powder brows not only help you look youthful but will make you look more awake, alert, and refreshed without invasive surgery! Like we mentioned above, our trained and certified brow expert can help you create natural-looking eyebrows that accentuate your eyes and balance your features without a surgical eye lift!

Time-Saving Convenience

At unDONE, we’re sure you’re super busy throughout the day, just like us. And once time is gone, it’s gone for good. That’s why, in our opinion, anything you can do to save time is definitely worth it. If you find yourself spending too much time doing your makeup every day or if you struggle trying to draw balanced, symmetrical eyebrows, powder brows are an excellent option to save time and your sanity.

Powder Brows Boise: Look Younger With A Simple Makeup Solution

Powder Brows Boise

As we get older, most of us search for ways to maintain our youthful appearance. However, you don’t have to take drastic measures just to look younger. Instead, a properly shaped brow can help open your entire eye area while working to improve the overall symmetry of your face. In fact, most people in the Treasure Valley don’t realize how much of a boost powder brows will make when it comes to taking years off your look.

How Your Eyebrows Can Age You

Depending on the era you grew up in, overly plucked, thinly waxed or just plain sparse eyebrows can make you look tired and aged. Even worse, the wrong shape of brow can leave you looking angry, mad, surprised, or scared. Your eyebrows can also affect the appearance of your nose, making it look larger when they are placed too far apart. You also don’t want to weigh down the look of your eyes if you draw them in too low. Last but not least, it’s important to keep in mind that your eyebrows change color as you get older to a lighter blonde or gray. Even light colored eyebrows can blend into your face and look sparse – even if they’re not.

What You Should Be Aiming For

What you should be aiming for are eyebrows that make you appear fresh, young, and more attractive. Ideally, your eyebrows should start at the bridge of your nose. From there, your eyebrow should gradually incline toward your arch. Your brow should reach its highest arch about ⅔ of the way out. Keep in mind, you should never attempt a center arch. Doing so will result in rainbow shaped eyebrows and all the surprised and scared expressions that go along with it. Last but not least, the tail should end in a tapered point no lower than where your eyebrow begins.

Choose Semi-Permanent Powder Brows

So what can you do about your eyebrows if they aren’t as thick as you want or you’re tired of dealing with the hassle of drawing and filling them in every day? Kick your eyebrows into high gear with semi-permanent powder brows at unDONE Salon. Our trained and certified powder brow expert, Annie Bradshaw can help you create natural looking eyebrows using an electric pen to lightly to deposit medical-grade color on top of your natural brow shape to provide you with an even and equal look.

While makeup can help you achieve your ideal eyebrow, it gets expensive and takes up too much time in the morning. Furthermore, tattooed eyebrows look unnatural and harsh. With semi-permanent powdered brows, you’ll have more natural looking eyebrows all the time without the worry of smudging or smearing. The best part? After a professional touch up 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment, you will only need to have your eyebrows touched up once a year. At that point, you’ll have the option of redesigning your brows based on any slight change in your appearance.

Semi-permanent powder brows create a unique effect that looks just like your real hair. At unDONE, our powder brow expert will blend your color and apply that color in thin layers into the top layer of your skin. The pigment and method used will emulate the look of real hair and you won’t have any scarring or downtime. With powder brows, you’ll get picture perfect eyebrows just 7-10 days after they fade to a softer, more natural color that will make you look younger and more effortlessly put together.

Powder Brows At unDONE Salon

Powdered brows are the latest trend in Boise, Idaho for semi-permanent makeup. To frame the face with perfectly shaped brows, our trained and certified brow expert will use specially formulated colors to create a natural look with depth and dimension – fading from dark to light. This technique differs from microblading in that it’s a much less invasive option that doesn’t consist of cutting hair like strokes into the skin. Even more, powder brows are long lasting and only require touch-ups once a year.

However, at unDONE, we do realize that the idea of getting a semi-permanent tattoo on your face may be a bit intimidating. But trust us – once you learn more about this service, it be a lot less intimidating. Even more, if the thought of saying goodbye to drawing and filling in your eyebrows every morning is appealing to you, you’ll contact us in a hurry.

The Powdered Brow Process

  • Consultation. You’ll meet with our trained and certified brow expert to discuss your beauty goals and determine the best way to achieve them.
  • Shape. Your brows will then be drawn on temporarily for your approval before the tattooing process.
  • Color. Next, we will help you select the perfect color that you’d like your eyebrows to be.
  • Application. Next, our brow expert will get to work. The process typically takes between 2-2 ½ hours.
  • Touch-Up. Once your brows fade to a softener, more natural color after 7-10 days, we will schedule a professional touch up 4-6 weeks later to ensure we have achieved the right color level. After that, you will only need to have your brows touched up once a year.
