Here, the eyebrows are fuller and more dramatic than in Microblading. If you are looking for a make-up look, then micro-shaded eyebrows should be what you are looking for. Microbladed brows tend to have a more make-up finish, which is ideal for looking glamorous, but may not look natural for everyday activities. The difference between these eyebrow techniques is the tool that is used, with micro-shading a different tool is used which is known as a rotary tool.
This allows the artist to add fuller and more frequent strokes to the eyebrow. As a result, this procedure creates a soft, powdery effect that resembles eyebrow powder, and it is definitely the look that can be seen in the photographs of many influencers.
Microblading
leaves tiny, natural-looking strokes, while micro-shading leaves small pointed spots that create the whole look. In the end, your eyebrows will look denser and thicker.So why go for micro-shading instead of microblading? Experts say it's best for sensitive or oily skin. Like microblading, microshading will last from one to three years. As mentioned above, micro-shading is ideal for people with oily or shiny skin, and for those who sweat more often. It is also more suitable if you have sensitive skin.
Microblading involves creating short, hair-like strokes on the eyebrow, the goal is to mimic the look of eyebrow hair. Microshading, on the other hand, gives a more solid and bold appearance. Microblading may seem more natural because there is space between the hairs and it seems more mixed to the naked eye, while micro-shading may look more like an Instagram eyebrow, Healy explains. They can be combined with shading, and this fusion of microblading and microshading is called hybrid eyebrows by some artists, or is classified as micro-shading by others.
Remember that microblading is considered semi-permanent makeup, so be prepared to touch up three to six months after your initial appointment. Think of micro-shading as the long-lost brother of microblading, while the two have some differences, both use tattoo ink to fill in more sparse areas of the eyebrows. If you want your microblading to last longer (after all, it's expensive) always apply sunscreen and avoid strong anti-aging or anti-pigmentation creams on and around the eyebrows. It is suitable for everyone, but especially good for dark and oily skin, which can respond better than microblading.
It's called shading rather than blading because the process is more like creating a shadow or gradient look with tiny dots of pigment rather than fine hairs like microblading, almost as if you were using an eyebrow powder. Like microblading, micro-shading is a semi-permanent makeup that needs an anesthetic cream and a patch test, however, it is applied with an electronic pen that creates a velvety airbrush effect. If you want to include it as an additional treatment in addition to microblading or microshading, your initial consideration should be whether your skin type is suitable for the main treatment. This is best accentuated when combined with microblading and this technique is called eyebrow blending, which will be discussed later.
Your artist may also recommend micro-shading instead of microblading if you have plucked your eyebrows too much. The magic of different microblading techniques is that there are so many things you can do and combine. Microshading and microblading are effective for faking a fuller eyebrow, but because both are semi-permanent tattoos, be sure to look for a qualified technician to understand which process will work best for you.
