If you love the look of softly filled-in brows without the daily pencil, microshading (also called powder brows or ombré brows) is for you. At Luxe Moment Permanent Beauty in Kennesaw, GA, we create a misty, makeup-like finish that looks natural in person and flawless in photos. Our clients visit from Marietta, Acworth, Dallas, Hiram, and across Cobb County for results that are polished, smudge-proof, and tailored to their features.

What Is Microshading (Powder/Ombré Brows)?

Microshading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that places ultra-fine “pixels” (tiny dots) of pigment into the brow to build a soft gradient—lighter at the front, deeper toward the tail. Unlike hair-stroke methods, microshading delivers a powdery, makeup effect that heals beautifully on most skin types, especially normal to oily skin.

Great for you if you want:

A filled-in look that still reads natural
Crisp edges with a soft interior gradient
Better performance on oily or combo skin
Minimal daily effort with long-wear results

Microshading vs. Microblading

Microshading: Soft, pixelated shading; ideal for oily skin and makeup lovers; lowest maintenance finish.
Microblading: Hair-stroke look; best on normal–dry skin and those wanting ultra-feathery strokes.
Combo Brows: Hair strokes in the front + shading through the body/tail for the best of both.

The Luxe Moment Process

Consultation & Mapping – We discuss goals, assess skin type, and map a brow design that fits your bone structure and muscle movement.
Color Selection – Using pro pigments, we match undertone (cool/warm/neutral) and natural hair shade for a believable finish.
Numbing & Shading – A topical anesthetic keeps you comfortable while we layer delicate pixels to build a smooth gradient.
Reveal & Aftercare – We review your home-care routine and schedule a perfecting touch-up at 30–45 days.

Healing Timeline (What to Expect)

Days 1–2: Brows look bolder and crisper—totally normal.
Days 3–7: Light flaking. Do not pick. Keep them lightly moisturized per your aftercare.
Days 8–14: Color softens 30–50% to a natural finish.
Day 30–45: Touch-up perfects symmetry, saturation, and detail.

Aftercare Essentials

Keep brows clean and dry—no heavy sweating, saunas, steam, or swimming until healed.
Avoid makeup, retinoids/acids on brows during healing.
Sleep slightly elevated for the first night and don’t rub or scratch.
Once healed, SPF helps preserve color in Georgia’s sunny climate.

How Long Does It Last?

Most clients enjoy 1.5–3 years before a color boost. Longevity depends on skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Oily skin and very active lifestyles may need more frequent refreshers.

FAQs

Does microshading hurt?Discomfort is mild to moderate; we use topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable.

Will it look too dark?Expect it to look bold for 48 hours, then it softens significantly as it heals.

Is it good for sparse or uneven brows?Yes—microshading is excellent for gaps, asymmetry, and thin tails, creating a consistent, polished shape.

Can I get microshading if I tried microblading before?Absolutely. Many clients convert to powder/ombré for a softer, longer-wear finish—especially on oily skin.
