MICROSHADING IN BOISE
Soft definition. Beautifully customized brows.
SOFT, BEAUTIFULLY DEFINED BROWS
Microshading is a permanent makeup technique that creates a soft, powdered effect throughout the brows, similar to the look of brow makeup. Rather than creating individual hair-like strokes, pigment is gently shaded into the brow to create definition, fullness and a beautifully polished finish.
At Face Defined, microshading is completely customized to you. Your brow shape, color and level of definition are designed around your facial features, natural brow growth, skin type and personal preference.
Whether you prefer a soft, natural finish or a more defined makeup look, the goal is never to create a one-size-fits-all brow—it’s to create your best brow.
MICROBLADING OR MICROSHADING?
While both techniques enhance the brows, they create different effects. Microblading uses fine, hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs, while microshading creates a soft, powdered finish similar to filled-in brow makeup.
Not sure which technique is right for you? You don't have to figure it out on your own. Your natural brows, skin and desired result can be evaluated to determine which technique will give you the most flattering outcome.
FAQs
What is the difference between Microblading and Microshading?
1
Microblading creates fine, hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural brow hairs, while Microshading creates a soft, powdered effect similar to the look of filled-in brow makeup. Microshading can range from very soft and natural to more defined, depending on your preference. During your appointment, we can determine which technique is best suited for your natural brows, skin and desired result.
How long does Microshading last?
2
Microshading typically lasts 1–3 years, although retention varies from person to person. Your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine and individual pigment retention can all affect how quickly your brows fade. Periodic maintenance appointments can help keep the color and definition looking fresh.
Does Microshading hurt?
3
Most clients find Microshading very tolerable. A topical numbing product is used to help minimize discomfort during the procedure. Everyone's sensitivity is different, but most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching, pressure or vibration rather than significant pain.
Is Microshading good for oily or mature skin?
4
Microshading can be a great option for a variety of skin types, including oily and mature skin. Because the technique creates shading rather than relying solely on fine hair strokes, it may heal and retain differently than Microblading on certain skin types. Your skin, natural brow hair and desired result will be evaluated so we can recommend the technique best suited for you.
