Shadow eyebrow tattoo

Not all women are naturally endowed with thick, perfectly shaped eyebrows. But the latest cosmetic technologies do not stand still, and every year the beauty industry offers an increasing variety of services. Pencils and eyeliners have been replaced by a fundamentally different type of makeup application - permanent coloring.

Shadow eyebrow tattoo technique

Daily monotonous manipulations with lining and tinting eyebrows take a lot of time. And not all ladies can give them a natural and well-groomed look without certain knowledge and skills. Modern cosmetologists provide a unique opportunity to simplify this task as much as possible with the help of tattooing - introducing a special pigment into the upper layers of the skin, due to which eyebrow color and shape are preserved for several months.

There are 3 types of tattooing techniques.

1. Hair technique is a procedure of applying pigment to each individual hair.
2. Shadow shading gives a natural look to penciled brows.  If a woman’s hair is naturally light and thin, then this option will come in handy.
3. Mixed technique combines the two previous types of coloring.

The shadow technique is the most common type of tattoo; it allows you to smoothly fill the entire eyebrow area with pigment without gaps or clearly defined boundaries. Using the shading technique you can achieve:

• volume and density;
• symmetry and naturalness;
• perfect shape.

Preparation for the procedure involves avoiding alcoholic beverages 2-3 days before the procedure, so as not to provoke an increase in blood pressure. In the process, the master may touch blood vessels, which will lead to bleeding.

The main stages of tattooing.

1. The cosmetologist carefully examines the client’s skin, determines its type, and talks about contraindications and possible consequences.
2. Taking into account the peculiarities of the facial structure, a sketch is drawn with a pencil, while excess hairs extending beyond the boundaries of the contour must be removed.
3. The specialist selects a shade of coloring pigment that will be in harmony with the color of the hair and eyes.
4. Having previously numbed the eyebrow area and treated it with a disinfectant, dye is injected into the upper layers of the skin through microscopic punctures. When working, the artist uses special round or flat needles instead of a tattoo machine.

The shadow technique is characterized by speed of execution, the entire operation lasts from 30 minutes to an hour, in contrast to the hair method, in which coloring takes much longer.

Shadow shot

There are three main types of shadow dyeing techniques:

• hair shading;
• soft shading - dyes are introduced between the hairs and the background of the eyebrows is created;
• dense shading (shotting) - suitable for those ladies whose eyebrows are not thick. The lines are drawn clear, reminiscent of a pencil outline, and the color is rich.

Shotting is considered one of the most labor-intensive techniques for eyebrow correction, so you should take the search for a specialist with the utmost responsibility. A tattoo specialist must not only be competent with the instrument, but also have artistic taste. His responsibilities include maintaining proportions and correct selection of shades of coloring pigment, because from the future shape of the eyebrows and the durability of the coloring depend on this.

Several factors influence the longevity of a tattoo:

• shade of dye;
• skin type;
• client’s age – metabolism slows down over the years, so in older women the pigment is not washed out for 2-3 years;
• external reasons - humidity, air temperature, etc.
