Combo Brows (Microblading+Microshading)

Combo brows are a combination of microblading and ombre brows (microshading). There are microblading hair-like strokes from the beginning to the middle of the brow to give the brow a natural look, which then transitions to a powdered effect to the body and tail of the brow to give the brow more fullness and density.

OMBRE BROWS/MICROSHADING

With Ombre Brows or Microshading we use a small machine to place extremely thin dots of pigment into the skin, creating a soft-shaded brow pencil look.

Microshading is usually combined with microblading – it's added after hair strokes are done, for those who want a little bit of makeup effect, and for people with oily skin.
