Features of eyebrow feathering procedure

Eyebrows are a business card of the person. If they are beautiful and neat, then the appearance becomes much tidier and prettier. Unfortunately, in the conditions of a mad rhythm of life, the beautiful half of humanity has practically no free time for itself. So, in the morning it is not always possible to apply a full makeup. In these cases, modern cosmetology comes to the rescue, offering a procedure such as shading eyebrow feathering.

It's no secret that tattooing is a cosmetic procedure, during which a persistent pigment is injected under the skin, which gives an excellent opportunity not to use cosmetics for a long time. In addition, this procedure allows you to correct deficiencies in appearance. Shadow technique does not imply drawing hairs.

During the shading of the eyebrows, a smooth transition from a dark to a lighter tone is created, and several tones are used simultaneously.. Under the skin of the client, using a sterile needle, the pigment is injected to a depth of no more than 1.5 mm. An outline is created first, and then the main background is plotted. Thanks to this technique, the so-called substrate appears, giving the eyebrows a natural shape and volume.

Shadow feathering from other methods of tattooing is distinguished by its naturalness. The paints are applied as evenly as possible, creating the effect of tinted eyebrows. To become a professional in the field of permanent makeup, in addition to high-quality tools, you need to have experience and excellent taste. The ability to create the perfect eyebrow architecture is especially necessary for those who work with hair technique. Shadow feathering is much easier to reproduce.

The most natural way to design the architecture of the eyebrows is underlining with the help of shadows. They stain the distance between the sparse hairs. The effect of filling the background is taken as the basis of the shadow technique by the masters of tattoo. It is necessary to highlight several types of permanent makeup in the technique of feathering.

• Soft feathering. It is performed by hardware. Masters use this method to visually increase the density of hairs. During the procedure, it is permissible to change the intensity of the application of the coloring pigment. Soft technique is perfect for fair-haired girls. The contour is made richer, and the background is left easier.

• Shooting (dense shading). This type of shading is performed using a typewriter, as well as manually. Shooting allows you to gently feather the pigment, without penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin. The paint is used only natural shades, thereby making the eyebrows organic. No one can guess that any cosmetic manipulations were performed on this part of the face. Another advantage of the dense shading is that it allows you to eliminate the flaws after poor-quality work. It is possible to extend the shape, expand or narrow to the nose.

• 3D effect. It combines shadow feathering and hair technique. The combination of several shades adds volume and underlines the contour line.

The considered type of permanent makeup is beautiful because after the procedure, the face changes as much as possible. As well as the visible benefits should include the following aspects:

• the ability to create clear lines, so there is a chance to change the shape if necessary;
• natural brows;
• makes the eyes mysterious and expressive;
• mature women gives a younger image;
• the need to make a correction;
• smooth contour that does not create the effect of drawn eyebrows;
• almost painless manipulation;
• the absence of scars and scars after the procedure;
• Suitable for all skin types.

Among the shortcomings are the following two important factors:

• there is a risk to get to the unfair master; for this reason it is worth carefully choosing salons and specialist;
• high cost of the procedure.

Real customer reviews are mostly confirmed by the fact that the procedure of shadow tattoo helps to radically change the appearance, if you turn to a professional master. Negative reviews about permanent makeup are extremely rare and are usually associated with the fact that the beautician chose an irregular shape and created asymmetrical eyebrows. It must be remembered that the main thing in choosing the form and type of tattoo is always the client.

Do not hesitate to talk to the master about their preferences, because with the result will have to go more than one month. From the published reviews of the owners of the shadow feathering, you can learn that the look of the eyebrows often changes as the weight of the girls changes.

Literally 3-4 years ago there were cases when the color of the tattoo changed over time and acquired a red-red or blue-green hue. The problem was low-quality dyes. Pigment manufacturers have developed more refined dyes, and now such incidents are virtually eliminated. Numerous reviews of customers who have tried shooting confirm that the effect of the procedure lasts a long time. They are satisfied with the manipulations.

Women who have sparse hairs in this area of ​​the face and do not grow well consider the shadow shading method to be their salvation. Light-brown girls, whose eyebrows are not particularly emphasized and not always of the ideal form, are happy to choose shading.

The shadow method of permanent makeup is ideal in the following situations:

• when it is necessary to create additional volume;
• if there are gray hairs that need to be masked;
• when you need to achieve the most natural appearance.

Feather imitates eyebrow tinting with a pencil. This method is equally suitable for blondes and brunettes. It is necessary to choose a shade of a pigment so that it was a little darker than a hair color. Owners of black and chocolate hair is best to opt for coffee shades. Black dyes are recommended not to use.

If after the shadow technique it is planned to apply tattoo on the eyelid area (arrows), then the eyebrow paint should be chosen a little lighter than the eye. One more important moment - on all girls the pigment is shown individually and gives a different shade on brightness. Here the main role is played by the color of the skin, its ability to accept pigment. Therefore, the desire to make feathering exactly the same color and shape, as, for example, a friend, can not always be crowned with success. And this will not be the guilt of the master, because absolutely the same result can not always be achieved.

Women with oily skin sometimes have problems with permanent makeup. Due to excessive oily skin, the pattern may turn pale and become blurred. Increased activity of the sebaceous glands does not allow the pigment to firmly secure and after a while it is washed out.For girls with this type of facial skin is absolutely contraindicated to choose the hair method of tattoo. For them, the most suitable option would be to use shadow feathering.

Shadow shading procedure is considered hygienic and completely safe. Despite this, the risk remains, because during the manipulation a tool with a dye is injected under the skin. If you are completely healthy, then there is no reason to fear. In some cases, permanent makeup is contraindicated, namely:

• venereal diseases, HIV status, tuberculosis, exacerbation of herpes infection, epilepsy;
• during menstruation, pregnancy and lactation It is forbidden to do a tattoo;
• clients with hemophilia (poor blood coagulability) and elevated blood sugar levels are strongly discouraged the above procedures; in this case, any intervention may be harmful to health.
• if a person has skin and inflammatory infections, nevi, papillomas in the region of brow arcs, the tendency to the appearance of scars, cosmetic manipulations should be postponed.
• allergic dermatitis or angioedema. During the exacerbation of chronic diseases or other painful conditions, it is imperative to consult with the master before proceeding with the procedure so as not to cause serious harm to the body. In addition to medical contraindications, there are seasonal restrictions. For example, in summer it is not recommended to apply shadow feathering due to high air temperature, the active phase of ultraviolet rays and a large number of dust particles. All of these factors will injure healing skin, impede rapid recovery and create the risk of possible infection. Eyebrow feathering can be combined with other cosmetological procedures.
• shadow equipment should be carried out no earlier than 4 weeks after injection procedures. (Botox, hyaluronic acid shots). If beauty injections have already been made, then you should consult a beautician performing the procedure before starting to apply a tattoo.

The execution of the shadow technique consists of several stages. The technology is identical to other methods of tattoo. You should study them step by step.

The first stage is preparation for the procedure. Two days before the scheduled meeting with the master, it is not recommended to use antibiotics and blood thinners. If these drugs are vital for maintaining health, then the procedure should be canceled until complete recovery. It is necessary to try not to use strong coffee and tea on the eve of cosmetological manipulations, as well as to exclude alcoholic beverages. In addition, to visit the solarium and the beach is not recommended, at least a day.

Before visiting the salon you do not need to shave off and pull out the eyebrows. A qualified specialist will never ask for it, but, on the contrary, will offer to remove excess hairs correctly and personally. It is advisable to come to the procedure without a make-up, in particular, it is not necessary to paint eyebrows with a pencil and shadows.

The second stage is a meeting with the master in the cabin. Before proceeding with the application of pigment by the chosen method, the specialist should clearly explain the features of feathering, show the tools, coloring pigments, painkillers and advise ways to further care for this area of ​​the face during the healing period.

The third stage is the choice of form and the application of pigment. The master should listen to the wishes of the client about the desired design of the eyebrows, treat the skin with a disinfectant, and then draw the outline. If the girl is satisfied with the proposed form, proceed to the process itself. If there are disagreements in opinions about the sketch, then the contour is adjusted. Next, application anesthesia is done. For this, the eyebrow area is smeared with anesthetic cream (most often the masters for this face zone choose Emla anesthetic creams), then cover with food film for a quarter of an hour.

After a specified time, you can safely proceed to the main process. Shadow feathering is less painful than other types of tattoo, as the paint is introduced shallowly. The introduction of the pigment takes about 1-1.5 hours. First draw the outline, then the master is required to feather the main background. Painful sensations are practically not felt, the procedure is quite tolerable. Clients with a low pain threshold may occasionally feel a little discomfort and tingling.

The fourth stage is the completion of the procedure. At the final stage after the introduction of the dye, the skin is carefully treated with antiseptic agents (chlorhexidine digluconate or miramistin), then a healing cream is applied. Immediately after the procedure of shading or soft shading, eyebrows look brighter than they will after healing. This is considered a normal reaction and should not be intimidated.

Persistence permanent makeup depends on the technique of its implementation. A number of factors affect how a coloring matter persists - climate, exposure to sunlight, sea water. Individual features of a person play an important role in the persistence of shadow feathering. This could include a woman's age, skin type. For example, a classic tattooing lasts an average of 1.5–2 years, and a little shaking is 1–1.5 years. This happens for the reason that when feathering the pigment is not injected deep into the epidermis.

After the color becomes paler, the client will need a procedure to update the permanent makeup. Paint quality is characterized not only by durability, but primarily by the quality of the components in its composition. Professional materials are known for their hypoallergenic and do not change the color saturation even after prolonged use. Low-quality dyes and paint for tattoos usually give the eyebrows a bluish color.

While the recovery period lasts, eyebrows need careful care. To heal after the procedure lasted faster, it is recommended to apply a healing ointment on this area of ​​the face, for example, “D-panthenol” or “Bepanten”. Each master should inform the client about how to properly care for the eyebrows after the procedure and advise certain preparations. There are the following limitations during the healing period of the tissues, which are valid for the first week after cosmetic procedures:

• do not use decorative cosmetics in the tattoo area;
• not to be in the open sun and in the solarium;
• Do not use the sauna and swimming pool;
• wet it at the dye injection site;
• not to engage in active sports, because excessive sweating adversely affects the damaged areas of the skin;
• Do not apply alcohol-based products to the skin.

Usually the rehabilitation period takes no more than 7 days. But the final result should be assessed only after 2-3 weeks.By the time the brightness of the pigment will decrease, protective peel will descend. On the first day after shading, there is a slight swelling of the epidermis and redness. From the needle-damaged tissue, the nodule appears. A little later, it dries, turning into a protective crust. On the second day, the irritation gradually disappears, but the color of the dye is still very saturated.

By the third day, crusts appear, protecting the epidermis tissue from external stimuli. By the end of the week the crust gradually disappears. There are no painful sensations during this period. To peel off, it is recommended to use the recommended ointment. If you suddenly find that the crusts began to crack, then this is a sure sign of dry skin. Moisturize the epidermis and soften the protective crust will help ointment, as described above.

A common practice after feathering is to make a correction. It is customary to do it due to the fact that after the first application of paint there are cases when eyebrows unevenly stain. Correction allows you to correct the form and add the desired shade in those areas where it is needed. It is recommended to do it in 1.5–2 months after the first tattoo. The duration of the correction varies based on the work ahead. If you need to add a little tone or partially paint over the skin, then the master fits in 30-40 minutes. During shot correction, anesthesia is applied at the request of the client.

Professionals in the field of permanent makeup believe that it is improper care during the rehabilitation period after the shadow method can affect the receipt of unsatisfactory results. Despite the fact that this shading technique practically does not injure the skin, the body reacts to the ongoing intervention in a natural protective way. Therefore, each person who has chosen this process of transformation must be prepared for increased care for the eyebrows in the first days. If an itch occurs, do not be afraid. This feature indicates the rapid healing of skin tissue.

To make the color more vivid, it is recommended to wipe your eyebrows every half hour with chlorhexidine on a cotton pad on the first day. On the second day it is enough to wipe once an hour. If you want a slightly muted color, then the first few days apply only petrolatum. Women who choose the procedure of shadowing eyebrows once will always have the most natural and gentle look. Thanks to this type of permanent makeup, the time for applying a daily make-up is significantly reduced.
