Powder Brows
In the past, my brows had no shape and I consistently struggled properly shading and shaping my brows. About 3 months ago, I went to see Emily at Inked Beauty Bar for Powder Brows.
What are Powder Brows?
Powder Brows, also known as Ombre Brows, is a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that creates a soft, shaded look while adding natural looking definition and depth to the eyebrows. It is essentially an eyebrow “tattoo”, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy and painless of a process it was for myself!
The Process
Consult & Mapping: Emily immediately made me feel comfortable and patiently worked with me to determine what my eyebrow goals were. After discussing color and depth, she mapped out my future brows! I loved that Emily involved me in the process and ensured I had an understanding of each step. She provided several opportunities for me to view my brows/mapping/etc. and give feedback, which helped me to feel extremely comfortable every step of the way.
Numbing: Emily lightly used a machine on my brows and let me know that there would be a scratching sensation to open up the top layer of skin. I have an extremely low pain tolerance, and it did not hurt me whatsoever! This allows the numbing cream to soak into the skin and be more effective. She then lightly applied numbing cream and waited a few minutes.
Adding color: As I mentioned above, I have what I consider to be a LOW tolerance for pain, and this part of the process did not hurt whatsoever. It honestly flew by, and I remember thinking, “Wow, that was fast!” when she had completed both brows! The entire appointment only took around an hour or so!
After Care
Emily provided me this graphic which was extremely helpful in knowing what to expect. She also gave me a little take home kit of goodies to help me that included a waterproof visor to wear in the shower so that my eyebrows wouldn’t get wet! The recovery time is pretty minimal. You want to make sure to avoid sun and keep brows from getting wet, but I was able to go out in public after with zero down time!
After 40 days, I went back to visit Emily for a follow up appointment to touch up my eyebrows which was included in the initial treatment.
Q & A
How long do powder brows last?
Depending on your skin type, powder brows typically last 1-3 years. I plan on going to an affordable annual touch up to extend the lifetime of my brows!

Overall
Emily is not only extremely talented, but she is very knowledgeable and takes pride in her work and has a clear passion for continually learning. She made me feel so comfortable, and it felt more like I was going to spend the afternoon with a good friend than going to an appointment! I highly recommend taking a look at her list of services and booking her ASAP and in advance!
