If you follow her Instagram, then you know she'll try just about any beauty trend or treatment once (the pics of her purple hair are on IG to prove it).

I know, I know; thinking of microblading as a “brow tattoo” sounds a lil scary, but it doesn’t last forever and has a surprisingly easy (and almost painless) healing process when done properly. Another important factor for maintaining optimal results is to make sure you follow the correct aftercare, given to you from your technician. This is the reason clients and celebrities are loving Epibrow, because they have more freedom to change their brow colour, and shape more sooner than that of the machine method.If I had a dollar for every minute spent meticulously filling in my eyebrows in front of the mirror, I would be a v rich—yet still v annoyed—lady. Then you may not be a great candidate at the moment, since microblading will initially cause some inflammation that can exacerbate skin conditions and affect your tattoo’s healing process. But generally, your artist will first take you through a full consultation, chatting through color options and your style preferences (don’t forget to bring inspo images of what you do and don’t want). This all depends on a few factors, as each client holds pigments longer/shorter than the next client.

Capparelli says that the biggest concern her clients have is how brow trends may shift in the future. The geographic origin of microblades is poorly understood, with differing theories posing origins in Southern Siberia, Northern China, or the PHSK (Paleo-Hokkaido-Sakhalin-Kurile) peninsula, with dates ranging from over 30,000 BP to as little as 18,000 BP. Prior to Cosmopolitan, she wrote and edited beauty content as an Editor at The Everygirl for four years. Microblade was the first log saw manufacturer to put a protective plastic edge on each saw before it is packaged.

A lot of clients hear this a lot, and believe their eyebrow hair will have to be removed first before semi permanent pigment can be applied. Not only do the two use different “inks”—traditional tattoos use concentrated tattoo ink, while cosmetic tattoos use smaller pigment particles—but they’re also applied differently. These changes in lithic technology appear to have been adaptations to reduced resource availability due to climate changes during the Last Glacial Maximum and Younger Dryas allowing for more efficient sustenance strategies. Additionally, the light channel can easily be cut to shorter lengths and custom angles to create whichever change in direction you like.
