Combination Brows

Combination brows are a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that blends the techniques of microblading and powder brows to create a beautifully natural and defined look. This hybrid approach combines the natural, hair-like strokes of microblading with the soft shading effect of powder brows, offering the best of both worlds. The result is fuller, more textured brows with a defined shape that enhances your facial features.

What are Combination Brows?

Combination brows are an advanced semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to deliver beautifully natural and flawlessly defined eyebrows by merging two highly popular techniques: microblading and powder brows. This hybrid approach caters to those seeking fuller, more textured brows while also providing a polished, long-lasting effect.

The benefits of combination brows go beyond aesthetics. They save time spent on daily eyebrow makeup, reduce the hassle of constantly reshaping or filling brows, and enhance the overall symmetry of the face. The blend of natural strokes and shading allows for greater customization, so the brows can be tailored to your unique facial structure, skin type, and personal preferences. Whether you’re after a subtle enhancement or a more striking definition, combination brows are versatile enough to suit your needs.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • 1. Consultation

    Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Anna, who is a skilled Artist. During this session, you’ll discuss your desired brow shape, colour, and overall look. Anna will carefully assess your face shape and natural brow structure to create a design that complements your features.

  • 2. Design and Colour Selection

    Anna will design your brows, mapping out the ideal shape to ensure symmetry and balance. You’ll also choose the pigment colour that best suits your skin tone and eyebrow hair colour, ensuring a natural result.

  • 3. Numbing and Preparation

    On the day of the procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to your brow area to minimise discomfort. The area will also be thoroughly cleaned to ensure the highest hygiene standards.

  • 4. Application

    Anna will start by performing microblading, creating fine, hair-like strokes in the front or sparse areas of the brows. This is followed by a soft shading technique, which adds depth and fullness to the rest of the brow, creating a gradient effect. The entire process usually takes about 3 hours.

  • 5. Aftercare and Healing

    Post-procedure, your brows will appear darker and more intense, but they will soften as they heal. Anna will provide detailed aftercare instructions, which typically include avoiding water, makeup, and sun exposure on the brow area for a few days. It takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the brows to fully heal and reveal their true colour and shape. However, downtime is typically 1 week.

The Benefits of Combination Brows

  • Natural Appearance

    The microblading strokes mimic real brow hairs, while the powder shading adds a soft, fuller look, resulting in brows that appear naturally beautiful.

  • Customisation

    Combination brows can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a more defined, bold look.

  • Long-Lasting Results

    The combination of techniques ensures that your brows maintain their shape and colour for a longer period, typically lasting between 1 to 3 years.

Pain and Discomfort

Pain is a common concern, but most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, thanks to the numbing cream applied beforehand. You may feel a light scratching sensation or pressure, but the process is generally well-tolerated. The level of discomfort can vary depending on individual pain tolerance, but overall, combination brows are not considered painful.

Downtime and Recovery

After the procedure, your brows may be slightly swollen and appear darker than expected. This is completely normal and will subside within a few days. As your brows heal, you may experience some flaking or scabbing, which is part of the natural healing process. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist to ensure the best possible outcome. The full healing process takes about 4 to 6 weeks, during which time the colour and shape of your brows will settle.

Why Choose an Experienced Artist?

Choosing an experienced artist is crucial to achieving beautiful, natural-looking combination brows. A skilled artist understands the nuances of both microblading and powder shading techniques and knows how to blend them seamlessly to create the perfect brows for your face. They will also follow strict hygiene practices to ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
