Pixel, Powder, Airy Brows

It has many names.

It’s a style of brows that’s growing in popularity, and we’ll discuss why that’s the case today. Here are some notable traits about this style of brow:

1. It employs the machine (not manual, aka Microblading)

2. It’s a powder look (not stroke-focused, like the Microblading trend of the last few years)

3. It’s transparent. The point of this style is that you “see-through” the brow. It’s not opaque.

Here is a list of why it’s so appealing:

1. It’s good for any type of skin. Oily, combo, weak, thick, fickle skin.

2. It looks soft, but lasts long. It doesn’t need to be a harsh-looking brow. this used to have to be a trade-off for longevity, but that’s not the case anymore.

3. It’s easy to correct down the road. Because of its transparent nature, it leaves room for error and is more forgiving, as opposed to super opaque, old-school styles of PMU (permanent makeup).

The technique is what allows the needle to “skip” along the skin, depositing pigment in a “pixel”-like form, allowing space between the dots. This produces a soft effect and outcome.

By controlling

the areas of concentration, this technique allows for an even brow while still appearing soft. You can cover holes and patchy brows, intensify the tail and soften the front of the brows.

This technique is also great for color correction, as you can effectively mask old tints (pink and ashy hues) without making the brows feel heavy.

Good news.

The healing process also tends to be less dramatic with this technique because of the minimal trauma compared to the other techniques.

As usual, cleaning the skin of the lymphatic fluids the first day, then keeping the area moist for wet healing is ideal, unless advised otherwise.

This Moon Lamp has been bringing me life (and deep sleep) as of late. It was such a delightful, unexpected gift that I received that I love more than I anticipated.

Here are some interesting facts about the Moon:

  • There is gold on the moon.

  • The Full Moon has a different name every month. In January, it’s called the “Wolf Moon” after howling wolves in the dead of winter.

  • There are moonquakes.

  • You don’t need to diet on the moon. You weight 1/6th your earth weight.

  • The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth meaning the same side is always facing the Earth.

See you next Tuesday, friends. I’ll try not to be late next time. >.< -Renee
