Powdered eyebrows can be done in many beauty salons. This procedure is popular among fans of natural make-up – their own shape of eyebrows is emphasized, but at the same time they look as natural as possible. We will figure out how to make powdery eyebrows, what are the features of this tattoo technique and what you need to know before and after the procedure. Our experts will tell you how to properly prepare for it and what to do in order to preserve the effect of eyebrow spray as long as possible.
Features of technology
Powder dusting is a special technique for permanent eyebrow tattooing, which allows you to create the effect of light tint coloring, like when shading with shadows. The procedure is less painful than with other tattoo techniques, since the pigment is injected only into the upper layers of the skin.
A special machine applies many small dots, which merge to create a beautiful silhouette without clearly defined contours. The device sprays the color, giving the eyebrows a properly curved shape and expressiveness.
The most natural effect of powdery tattooing is achieved by spotting the surface of the pigment.
After powdering, the color and shape of the eyebrows are preserved for 2-4 years. The duration depends on the number of layers of paint applied, on the type of skin (on oily pigment it fade faster, on dry it lasts longer). The recovery period takes place in the shortest possible time and does not cause severe pain.
Can I do it at home
Powdery eyebrow tattooing is a procedure that is carried out in a sterile conditions of a beauty salon by a qualified expert using a special machine for point tattooing. You cannot do it yourself at home, even if you have the necessary tools and skills.
An incorrectly performed tattooing procedure using the spraying technique is dangerous with complications and undesirable health consequences.
At home, you can only recreate the effect of powdery eyebrows with a pencil or shadow. But it will hold on for a maximum of one day, and not for several years, as after visiting the salon.
Who is it for
Powder powder is not a lifesaver for women or girls with very thin or sparse eyebrows. In this case, we recommend thinking about the microblading procedure.
Powdery tattoo should be done if the eyebrows:
-
have a clear shape, wide and thick, but I would like to add color to them;
-
lighter than hair;
-
fade in the sun.
Powdery tattoo is suitable if the shape of the eyebrows suits, but you need to achieve a long-lasting effect of light makeup, emphasize their beauty, and make a clearer outline.
Most of all, tattooing in this technique is suitable for owners of blond hair with Celtic or Nordic skin type. But even dark-skinned girls will have powdery eyebrows to the face – due to the optimal choice of pigment and color saturation, they will look spectacular on the skin of any shade.
Who shouldn't make powdery eyebrows
At the initial consultation with a master beautician, it is important to talk about the existing features of the body, chronic diseases. The specialist will not take responsibility for the procedure for the following diseases and conditions:
-
oncology;
-
diabetes mellitus;
-
problems with blood clotting;
-
pregnancy;
-
acute inflammatory process in the body.
The procedure will affect not only the end result, but also the health of the woman who decided to make powdery eyebrows.
How to prepare for the procedure
For permanent eyebrow dyeing to be painless and the recovery period to be as fast as possible, you need to properly prepare for it. The final result of the powdery tattoo will depend a lot on this.
As a rule, the procedure is preceded by a consultation with the master, during which an initial examination is carried out, a skin test for the tolerance of the dye and the choice of the shade of the pigment. The specialist gives recommendations on what can and cannot be done before the correction, sets a date.
We visited beauty salons, where they make powdery eyebrows, and asked beauticians about the correct preparation for the procedure. We learned that the preparatory period lasts a week, during which it is prohibited:
-
tweeze eyebrows;
-
visit the solarium;
-
use fatty creams or oils in the eye area;
-
apply decorative cosmetics to eyebrows;
-
apply peeling to cleanse the skin of the face.
The day before the procedure, you need to limit fluid intake, give up coffee, alcohol and salty foods. These measures will help reduce puffiness after tattooing.
Cosmetologists advise not to take any blood-thinning medications 3 days before the procedure, refrain from eating ginger, tomatoes, garlic, onions. These products have strong anticoagulant properties.
Powder spraying is recommended in the middle of the menstrual cycle, because during this period, the pain threshold is at the highest possible level. If, on the eve or on the day of the procedure, there are health problems (exacerbation of chronic diseases, a sudden rise in temperature, manifestations of ARVI symptoms), then it should be postponed to another date, after recovery.
How to make powder eyebrows
An experienced beautician will make powdery eyebrows in 40-60 minutes. The procedure consists of the following steps.
-
Skin preparation. The area of the browbones is treated with special disinfectants.
-
Shape correction. The master creates the future silhouette of the eyebrows, removing unnecessary hairs with tweezers, drawing the contours with a cosmetic pencil.
-
Anesthesia. Although powder coating is a painless procedure, it is recommended to carry out it under local anesthesia in case of a low pain threshold.
-
Choice of pigment shade. As a rule, a pigment is used for coloring that is 2 tones darker than the native eyebrow color.
-
Filling the space outlined with a pencil with paint. With the help of the device, the master makes the smallest punctures in the upper layers of the skin and injects pigment through them. The end of the brow arch is colored less intensely, and the greatest amount of dye is applied to the break points. This guarantees the most natural result.
-
A dye fixing agent is applied, as well as a cream with regenerating properties.
Side effects after dusting in the salon are extremely rare. The professional skills of the cosmetologist and the use of natural pigments for coloring minimize the risk of complications after the procedure.
Post-tattoo care
Proper care after the procedure affects the durability of the powder stain. It is important to strictly follow all the recommendations of the cosmetologist. These include a number of limitations and treatment with wound-healing ointments.
The goal of home care after tattooing using the powder coating technique is to exclude the penetration of dust and infection into micro-cuts, to protect the formed crust from damage.
Limitations
It is not recommended for three days after the procedure:
-
wet the area of the eyebrows;
-
go to the bathhouse or pool;
-
touch with dirty hands or rub your eyebrows;
-
visit the solarium, go outside without a wide-brimmed hat or sun glasses;
-
use decorative cosmetics for the eyes;
-
cleanse your face using aggressive products (chemical peels, scrubs);
-
apply cosmetic masks.
You should avoid hypothermia of the body and do not engage in heavy physical work. You should also refrain from intensive workouts in the gym for the next 3-5 days.
On the second day after tattooing, a thin crust forms on the surface of the eyebrows. If damaged, it can disrupt the uniformity of the staining performed and facilitate the penetration of infection.
Treatment with ointments
With powder coating, there is a minimal violation of the integrity of the skin. Nevertheless, in order to avoid inflammation after the procedure and to speed up recovery, it is recommended to treat the eyebrow area with dexpanthenol ointments for 5-7 days. This substance contributes to the rapid healing of damaged tissues. It is also advisable to lubricate the eyebrows with petroleum jelly to soften the skin.
Treatment with ointments has an anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect, activates metabolic processes in damaged tissues and accelerates their healing.
We recommend using Bepanten Plus ointment. It contains dexpanthenol, lanolin, and chlorhexidine, a disinfectant. Treatment with an antibacterial agent will protect the skin from the development of infection or eliminate the inflammatory process if it occurs with improper care.
Complete restoration of the skin surface after tattooing using the powder spray technique occurs in 3-4 weeks. The term depends on the correctness of care and the individual characteristics of the woman's body. After healing, it is possible to re-correct the shape of the eyebrows by a beautician, to correct the detected defects.
Having done a powdery tattoo, you can save time and money on makeup. If you want to highlight your eyebrows without radically changing their shape, you should definitely pay attention to this technique.
The professionalism of the master, proper preparation before the procedure and proper care after it guarantee the result: the eyebrows will look spectacular and as natural as possible at any time, under any circumstances.
