Brows are one of the biggest beauty obsessions of the year. There have never been so many products available to groom, fill, primp, color and sculpt your eyebrows to perfection. For those who prefer to have a professional work on them, there are brow bars, shops that offer waxing and salons that provide threading. All of these services are so temporary they usually need to be redone within a few weeks, but what if there was a semi-permanent professional solution to your eyebrow needs?

Microblading is the newest development in brow beauty and is a form of tattooing that semi-permanently fills in and shapes eyebrows. The difference is, a handheld tool is used to manually implant the pigment under the skin instead of the machine used in tattooing. The artist draws individual hair-like strokes to fill in sparse areas on the brows.

The results can last anywhere from one to three years since the pigment doesn’t go as deep as in a traditional tattoo. At first, the color is darker but it will fade some to reach your ideal shade. Because the artists make such tiny lines, the end look is beautifully natural.

For those concerned about pain levels, if you’ve survived threading, waxing and plucking you’ll likely feel the same about Microblading. Most artists offer numbing cream throughout the procedure, and Lena Dunham who recently had hers done and absolutely loved them, describing the feeling as “scratching a sunburn”. Certainly not a good feeling, but one that patients feel is worth it after they see the stunning results. A simple search for before and after pictures will have you convinced this is a must-try beauty treatment.
