What Is Microblading :
Microblading eyebrow is a form of permanent makeup that creates natural, beautiful eyebrows with a handheld microblade. It’s perfect for people who have overplucked or those who want to define, darken or reshape their eyebrows.Microblading originated in Asia over 25 years ago and has gone by many names: eyebrow embroidery, feather touch, micro stroking, and even the Japanese Method. By 2015, Microblading became popular in the United States.
Technically, Microblading is a form of eyebrow tattooing. But unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine, Microblading artists apply each hair strokes with a handheld microblade.
This produces a very fine line that resembles real hair. Each individual hair stroke is hand-drawn by the artist and blended in with the client’s existing eyebrow hair. With a strong artist at the helm, the results can be gorgeous and very lifelike.
