Product Information

Microblading can last anywhere from one to three years depending on your skin type (oilier skin types tend to fade the fastest), says Aava. In one year, you’ll likely notice some fading, but your microblading probably won’t totally be gone. By three years, though, you can expect your microblading to be nearly untraceable. However, consistent touch-ups every 12-18 months can help your microbladed brows look fresh throughout the years. How much does microblading cost?

Because of the pigment used and the way it’s applied to the skin, microblading produces a semi-permanent “tattoo” that looks soft and subtle, instead of opaque and bright as with traditional tattoos. Over time, the pigment on your brows will also lighten a shade or two from its original color, whereas a tattoo on your body can have a blue-green tint on the edges when it starts to fade. Who is a good candidate for microblading? Microblading is a type of tattoo, but it’s not permanent like a true tattoo. Not only do the two use different “inks”—traditional tattoos use concentrated tattoo ink, while cosmetic tattoos use smaller pigment particles—but they’re also applied differently. With microblading, the pigment is applied superficially to your skin (so your body eventually metabolizes it until it fades away), rather than placed into your skin’s deeper layers (where it becomes permanent).

Microblading can be somewhat painful, but the level of pain you may feel will depend on your own natural pain tolerance. The upside? Your brow artist will slather on a numbing gel before they begin, and may also add an extra layer of gel between each pass. Alixandria Capparelli is a brow artist in Orange County, CA.

Several brands offer tiny, delicate tattoos that are less noticeable at first glance. Some are much larger, which is something to consider if your workplace is a factor, for instance. Sets are great for variety and sharing with friends. How To Care For Your Temporary Tattoo

In my opinion, design is the most important decision to make when considering the best temporary tattoos. Do you think it’s cool? It’s going on your body, so you’d better. If you’re purchasing a tattoo set, you’ll need to like a few to make it worth it. Because some temporary tattoo brands like Inkbox and Momentary Ink offer mostly single designs, you’ve got to really love it before you buy. How long it lasts When I first saw an Inkbox tattoo, I was blown away. It was so intricate and beautiful, which made sense once I learned they’re designed by real artists. You can expect classic designs typically chosen by men, like swords, roses, and animals, but they all have an extra artistic flair. I love that they also have lots of smaller tattoos that are perfect for hands. Custom options are available, too. Typically, you’re not going to get more than a week out of your average temporary tattoo. You can get up to two weeks with Inkbox and Momentary Ink, however. But not everyone wants a temporary tattoo to last. Perhaps you’ve got work or a wedding, and you need it to fade faster. Gentle exfoliation with a washcloth should remove a tattoo like that in a flash. Size But in general, Capparelli (and many others) likens the pain of microblading to a cat scratch, noting that “on a scale of tweezing your brows to getting a bikini wax, microblading is more like tweezing your brows.” Basically, expect the pain to be a little uncomfortable, but not unbearable.

The so-called semi-permanent tattoos, which last for many months or for a few years, involve insertion of the pigments under the skin. The ink inserted in the skin can’t be completely removed, and so such tattoos can’t be called temporary tattoos. However, some specially formulated ink can be much easier to remove, and they last for a period of 3-6 months. Many tattoos known as temporary tattoos, are applied using a tattoo gun which causes discomfort. Practitioners say that these tattoos will fade after a few years, but there is a lot of discrepancy over this. Due to such mixed opinions, these tattoos can’t be completely termed as semi-permanent.

Microblading can be great for those with thin, sparse brows to get some definition and fullness, but Capparelli warns it might not look as natural as someone who does have hair behind the draw-on strokes. But if you’re worried about your microbladed brows looking too drawn-on, your brow artist can add shading behind the hair-like strokes so the empty spaces between the strokes isn’t so noticeable. You’ll also need to skip anything that could have a thinning effect on your blood, so avoid taking aspirin or vitamin E for 48 hours before your appointment, and skip drinking any caffeine or coffee the day of. Not only that, but if you're on antibiotics, you'll need to wait 14 days after your final dose before getting microblading, as antibiotics can make the pigment change color while healing. As for showering, avoid exfoliating the tattoo and surrounding skin. Once you get out of the shower, pat the tattoo dry with a towel, don’t rub. You want to keep the tattoo in as pristine condition as possible. Generally speaking, no, microblading won’t ruin your eyebrows, as long as your artist uses proper techniques—i.e., not tattooing too deep into your skin and creating accidental scar tissue, which “can damage the hair follicle,” says Capparelli, and in rare cases, prevent new hair growth. Dr. Evans also notes that, although very uncommon, it’s also possible to have an allergic reaction to the dye that could cause a rash or an infection, which—if severe enough and left untreated—could affect your hair growth in the future. If you want a break from filling in your brows—or if you want to experience what full brows look like for the first time in your life—microblading might be your savior. Still, it’ll cost ya some cash, at least seven days without the gym, a morning without caffeine, and a week of potential scabbing. But if you’re the right candidate (and you can afford it), you may want to try it out, just so you never have to spend money on brow pencils again.And, unfortunately, microblading can take anywhere from 1-3 years to fade on its own, so if you’re someone who tends to adapt your makeup to current trends, you might want to reconsider microblading, or instead opt for a really soft, natural brow that you can still fill in and change up whenever you want. How painful is eyebrow microblading? If possible, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. This is likely impossible if you’re enjoying a temporary tat for a summer festival or concert, but it’s something to keep in mind if you want your tattoo to last.
