As we mature our brows can become more sparse, thin and unruly but there is an answer, as beauty and Aesthetics expert Helen Coates explains
As we mature our faces change as skin loses its elasticity and our eyebrows become sparse and unruly. So how can we revitalise our looks by enhancing our brows so they still look natural?
Eyebrows frame the face, they are an important part to our overall look, but what happens when our brows naturally begin to thin and get more sparce? Just tinting them is no longer an option as this can end up staining the skin, while applying pencil or cosmetics can often be a difficult , time consuming task.
Helen explains why microblading is the ideal treatment: “Microblading is a semi-permanent treatment that gently introduces pigment into the upper dermis to create tiny hair strokes that mimic the natural hair of the brow.
“Carried out professionally, it involves using a disposable hand tool with super fine needles. This treatment can be used to enhance faint eyebrows or to create a perfect fuller brow.”
All customers have an initial consultation to advise on the best brow look and a refresh is only needed every 12-18 months, which is the main reason many women love this treatment!
Helen also explains the ombre technique, which is also known as micropigmentation or permanent make-up: “It’s become really popular and involves building a beautiful brow by the pixelation of tiny dots. The pigment is inserted into the skin much like a traditional tattoo for longer lasting results. It can be used on clients with most skin types, is ideal for people who want a more shaded, softer brow.
Helen’s clients also have the option of the combination brow, as she explains: “For those who can’t decide between microblading and ombre, this may be the preferred choice. It’s a combination between the two, hair strokes and powder fill for a really natural defined brow. No two clients will have the same brow shape and definition, but the combination technique is ideal whatever brows you currently have subject to consultation.”
Helen is an expert in the application of permanent make-up and has seen a rise in clients wanting to have semi-permanent eyeliner and lipliner but the new kid on the block is definitely the introduction of permanent lip blush: “Many women notice as they age that their lips can appear smaller and paler, they lose volume and elasticity and that all important outer edge definition. Lipstick doesn’t last and bleeds into the skin. We can apply pigment to create definition, shape and even the appearance of fullness. You can opt for soft and natural tones although we do have clients who choose more dramatic lip blush colours. The pigment can last up to four years and offers a more youthful, fresh appearance during that time.”
