When it comes to achieving flawless, natural-looking eyebrows, the options can seem overwhelming. At DB Cosmetic Tattooing, we specialize in creating brows that enhance your natural beauty and complement your facial features. Two of the most popular techniques we offer are Microblading and Combination Brows.
But how do these techniques differ, and which one is right for you? In this blog, we’ll dive into the details of Combination Brows, explore how they differ from Microblading, and help you make an informed decision.
What Are Combination Brows?
Combination Brows are a semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing technique that combines the best of both worlds:
Hairlike Strokes: Created using a fine blade, similar to Microblading, to mimic the appearance of natural brow hairs.
Shading: Adds depth and fullness by softly blending pigment into the skin, giving the brows a more defined and polished look.
This technique is ideal for clients who want a fuller, more structured brow while still maintaining a natural appearance. At DB Cosmetic Tattooing, we customize each set of Combination Brows to suit your unique facial structure using the golden ratio method for perfectly balanced results.
How Does Microblading Differ from Combination Brows?
While both techniques are designed to enhance your brows, they cater to different needs and preferences. Here’s a quick comparison:
Feature | Microblading | Combination Brows |
Technique | Uses fine hairlike strokes to mimic natural hairs | Combines hairlike strokes with soft shading |
Ideal for | Clients with normal to dry skin and sparse brows | Clients with oily skin, uneven brows, or those wanting a bolder look |
Appearance | Natural, soft, and subtle | Fuller, more defined, and polished |
Longevity | Lasts 6-18 months, may fade faster on oily skin | Lasts 12-24 months with better retention on oily skin |
Healing Process | Minimal scabbing, soft fading | Slightly more scabbing due to shading |
Who Are Combination Brows Best Suited For?
Combination Brows are perfect for clients who:
Want a bolder, more defined brow.
Have oily skin, where Microblading alone may not last as long.
Need to correct asymmetry or fill in sparse areas while creating a polished look.
Desire the longevity and depth that shading provides.
The Process of Getting Combination Brows
At DB Cosmetic Tattooing, we ensure your experience is comfortable and personalized. Here's what to expect:
Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals, assess your natural brows, and map out the ideal shape using the golden ratio method.
Numbing: A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Application: The hairlike strokes are created first, followed by the shading to add depth and fullness.
Aftercare Instructions: Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results. You’ll receive detailed instructions to follow during the healing process.
Aftercare Tips for Combination Brows
To ensure your Combination Brows heal beautifully and last longer, follow these aftercare tips:
