With so many eyebrow tattooing techniques available, it is easy to get confused about which one is right for you. Here I break down the three main methods offered at Brows and Beyond Auckland so you can understand what each involves and which suits your brows best.

Hairstroke Brows (3D Nano Brows)

This technique is also called 3D Hairstroke Brows. It is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that produces the most natural-looking eyebrow result. Colour pigment is implanted using fine hair-like strokes, creating the appearance of real individual hairs. This method suits people with no eyebrows, minimal eyebrows, or those who want the most natural finish. The results are incredibly realistic and many people choose this over other options for that reason.

Powder Filled Brows (Ombre Brows)

This cosmetic tattoo technique produces soft, defined eyebrows that resemble brows that have been filled with conventional eyebrow makeup. Colour pigment is implanted into the skin gradually to build a full brow look. Brows created with this method will look quite dark initially but fade to a beautiful soft powdered finish. This technique lasts longer than hairstroke brows because pigment covers a larger area. Touch-ups are typically needed every 2 to 3 years. Our version of this is The Fade soft ombre brows.

Microblading Eyebrows

Microblading is produced with a manual blade tool to create strokes and colour that mimic natural hairs. Microblading is still a tattoo, however it fades with time and lifestyle factors play a role in its longevity. Eyebrows tattooed using this method tend to last slightly less than powder brows or hairstroke machine brows.
