Thin eyebrows? Is white hair already showing? Microshading is for you. It is a semi-permanent makeup technique that uses either an electric hand or a manual tool, creating a soft, powdered effect that resembles eyebrow powder. Instead of hair strokes, microshading uses a stippling method that uses repetitive dots of pigment. Like microshading, the initial touch-up is usually between 4-8 weeks. After the initial touch-up, microshading can last anywhere from 12 months to three years, depending on the client.
