What are powder brows?

Powder brows are shading, not drawn hairs: the machine deposits pigment pixel by pixel, in a gradient that starts light at the head of the brow and deepens towards the tail. The result reads as a softly made-up brow that does not rub off or run.

You control the depth: very soft shading that reads as natural, or something more defined if that is what you like.

Why it suits oily skin best

A microblading stroke is a fine incision, and on oily skin the oil pushes pigment out of it, so the edge spreads and the line turns into a shadow.

Powder is a shadow to begin with. There is no fine edge to spread and no line to lose its definition, so the result stays readable even after it loses some density.

In short If your skin is oily and someone tells you hairstrokes will suit you, ask how. Powder brows or micropigmentation are the right answer.

Who it suits

  • Oily and combination skin — its first reason to exist.
  • Anyone who likes a soft made-up look rather than strokes.
  • Very sparse brows that need rebuilding rather than gap filling.
  • Anyone drawing their brows daily with a pencil who wants to stop.

How the session goes

  1. Consultation and agreeing the depth you want: very soft or more defined.
  2. Measuring and mapping on the face; I do not begin before you approve it in the mirror.
  3. Choosing the pigment and the gradient.
  4. Numbing, then building the shading layer by layer.
  5. Written aftercare with the ointment.

Aftercare

  • Seven days: no water directly on the brow.
  • Two weeks: no pool, sea, sauna or hard exercise.
  • Do not pick the flakes.
  • The colour deepens first, then lightens over about two weeks.

Frequently asked

How much do powder brows cost in Amman?
150 Jordanian dinars at the Alaa Al Masri studio in Abdoun, Amman, covering the consultation and the shape design before we begin.
How long do powder brows last?
About a year, varying with skin type, sun exposure and peels.
Are powder brows good for oily skin?
Yes, and they are the first choice for very oily skin. Powder is shading rather than a fine line, so its edges do not spread with oil the way microblading strokes do.
What is the difference between powder brows and microblading?
Microblading is hand-drawn strokes made with a blade and suits normal to dry skin. Powder brows are graduated machine shading that gives a soft made-up look and suits every skin type including oily.
Do powder brows look artificial?
It depends on the depth you agree beforehand: very soft shading reads as natural, deeper shading gives a defined brow. The depth is set with you before we begin.
