Arti, a renowned brow specialist, Discusses Microblading

"Brows on fleek" would undoubtedly rank among the top five, if not three, obsessions with beauty in the present. That is how important brows are in the modern world. Over the years, brows have seen quite a revolution, going from thin and skinny to bushy and fluffy. One thing is undeniable: filled-in and fuller brows are here to stay, regardless of versions and trends that continue to emerge. Personally, I still have my eyebrow gel on (that adds volume, tint and separates each hair for a bushy look). People frequently choose microblading and nanoblading as an extension of the fuller brow trend.

 

What distinguishes microblading from nanoblading?

Microblading is a method for enhancing your natural brows by adding semi-permanent, hair-like strokes. Despite using a comparable technique, microblading is not regarded as a tattoo because it is done on the upper layer of the skin rather than the second layer, where a tattoo is done. With the majority of clients, it typically lasts 1-2 years. Additionally, unlike a tattoo machine, microblading is done manually with a handheld pen coupled to a sterile blade made of small needles that are delicately scraped on the skin to resemble hairs. The same technique is used for nanoblading, but because the blade is much thinner, the strokes produced are more delicate and wispy.

When and why do people join up for them, in your opinion?

Saves time: Nanoblading offers you that natural improvement instantaneously and is sweat- and smudge-proof, saving you time from filling in your brows in the morning. Therefore, you won't have to be concerned that your eyebrows will wash off at the beach or pool. Additionally, it maintains the form of your brows so you don't have to worry about them getting hurt when you go for your routine threading or waxing treatments.

It might restore your brows: It can be very traumatic to lose your eyebrows due to medical issues, alopecia, or chemotherapy. You can usually restore your brows to their previous shape using nano blading. You won't be able to distinguish between the genuine hair and the nanoblading because it looks so realistic.

People are afraid of the tattoo look because it doesn't give you the full-on tattoo appearance and won't eventually turn strange colours like red or green. The pigments used in nanoblading are organic, devoid of oxide, and designed to maintain their colour over time. Even if they gradually fade over time, it doesn't become apparent.

What kind of brow shape do people most frequently aspire to?

Most folks simply want something that complements their facial shape and what they already have naturally. So when determining the best shape for the client, I evaluate all factors. When fixing a client's brows, a distinct strategy is needed for each one. The most typical forms would be:

 

Straight eyebrows are horizontal lines devoid of any curves; S-shaped (curved) eyebrows are the most challenging to draw and can only be done by a skilled professional. The traditional shape is angled and consists of an ascending smooth line with a significantly thinner outer tip than the head. Their tails are soft, rounded, and rising with a smooth centre arch; they do not bend.

In your opinion, how have brow styles altered throughout time?

In contrast to the pencil-thin brow look that was popular in the 1920s, full, natural brows are a very in-demand style nowadays. Now, instead of plucking your brows to death, you can use growth serums and oils to make them as thick as possible. In the 1920s and 1930s, pencil thin, arched brows with definition and long downward tails were all the rage. Natural and fuller brows became popular in the 1940s and 1960s, embracing your natural brow look while maintaining their definition. In the 1970s, it returned to the extreme brow thinness fad, where you once more plucked the brows to extinction.
