What Is Microblading And How Is It Different To Micro-Shading?

The names might sound similar, but Microblading and micro-shading are totally different concepts. Both are forms of semi-permanent make-up for eyebrows but have subtle but important differences. Micro-blading is super precise whereas micro shading has a much softer finish. It is like using a brow pencil compared to a brow powder. Microblading tattoos are hair-like strokes in your existing brows, micro shading tattoos tiny dots on your brows for a less defined finish.

What Are The Types Of Microblading Techniques At Influennz?

At Influennz, we offer 3 different types of techniques:

• Micro-shading: This is the most primitive type of brow tattooing. It is simply filling up your brow, mostly, resulting in the one when you fill your brows using a kohl pencil.
• Microblading: This is the most popular type of brow tattooing. In this hair-like strokes are created using teeny-tiny needles. This gives an impression of fuller brows.
• Ombre or Powder Brows: This is an exclusive form of brow tattooing found only at Influennz. This technique uses both micro-shading and Microblading, to give luscious, dense and natural-looking brows.
