Will powder brows look dark or heavy?

Not when done with Clarissa's restraint. Powder brows build a soft, translucent gradient — lighter at the front and gently deeper through the tail — for the look of a light brow powder, not a solid block of color.

Are powder brows better for oily skin?

Shading can retain more predictably on oily or mature skin than individual hair strokes. Clarissa assesses your skin during consultation and recommends the technique she believes will look most natural for you.

Can I combine powder shading with hair strokes?

Yes — combination brows pair hair strokes at the front with soft shading through the tail. See our Combination Brows page for more.

When can I book a powder brows appointment?

Start by submitting an appointment request. Clarissa will personally review it and explain location and scheduling after reviewing your request.

Powder Brows

A soft, airy shaded finish with no harsh borders

Powder brows build a soft, pixelated wash of color — lighter at the brow head and gently deepening through the tail — for the look of a light, diffused brow powder rather than solid, high-contrast color.

The Technique

What Are Powder Brows?

Powder brows (sometimes called ombre or shaded brows) are a machine-applied permanent makeup technique that builds a translucent gradient of color through pixelated shading. The result is soft and diffused — lighter at the front of the brow and gently deepening toward the tail — resembling a light sweep of brow powder. Because shading can retain differently than individual hair strokes, powder brows can be a strong option for oily or mature skin, or for clients who prefer a soft, everyday filled-in look.
