MICROBLADING

In the simplest terms, microblading ( or eyebrow embroidery) is the semipermanent process of tattooing eyebrows onto your skin. But before you say, “No, thanks,” hear us out. Eyebrow tattooing was first popularized in the ’ 80s— remember those thick, solid lines and blue- tinged dyes?— though what we see today is a more natural- looking and refined version. Estheticians and cosmetics artists are now hand- drawing thin hair strokes using finer needles and a light touch, while mixing inks that don’t fade to unnatural shades.
