THE ULTIMATE GUIDE
Your eyebrows are one of the most powerful features on your face—they frame your eyes, define your expressions, and bring balance to your overall look. But not everyone is blessed with naturally full, symmetrical brows. That’s where 3D Microblading and Semi-Permanent Makeup come in.
These advanced beauty treatments offer a way to wake up with perfect brows every day—no pencils, powders, or gels required. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process, benefits, and preparation so you can feel confident booking your appointment.
WHAT IS 3D MICROBLADING?
3D Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that creates realistic, hair-like strokes to mimic natural brows. Unlike traditional tattoos, microblading is performed with a manual hand-held blade tool instead of a machine. Pigment is deposited just beneath the surface of the skin, leaving you with natural-looking brows that last 6–12 months.
After your initial session, you’ll only need occasional touch-ups to keep your brows looking fresh and defined.

SEMI- PERMANATE BROWS
Everyone’s brows are different, which is why multiple semi-permanent makeup methods exist. Here are the most popular options:
POWERDER FILLED BROWS: The least invasive method, best for clients who already have a good amount of natural hair. Powder brows create a soft, shaded look and are perfect for filling small gaps from scars or uneven growth.
FETHERING: A technique where strokes are placed closer together to create a dimensional, shaded effect. This works especially well for skin types that may not retain pigment evenly with microblading alone.
NANOBLADING: A newer semi-permanent brow treatment that uses a super fine needle to create hair-like strokes with slightly more density than 3D Microblading. The result is a thicker, fuller appearance while still looking natural.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Semi-permanent makeup is usually completed in two sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart:
INITIAL APPOINTMENT:
Includes mapping your brows, selecting the right pigment, and completing the full procedure.
TOUCH-UP APPOINTMENT:
Perfects your results after healing, ensuring pigment is even and long-lasting.
PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
To ensure the best results, it’s important to prepare properly and review any health considerations. Here’s what to know:
Review contraindications & medications with your artist before booking. Certain health conditions or prescriptions may not be compatible with the procedure.
Avoid products and medications that thin your blood or affect pigment retention in the days leading up to your appointment.
Plan for childcare: Appointments can last up to 2 hours, and children or babies are not allowed during the procedure
Arrive with your makeup on: This helps your artist see your preferences for shape and color.
HOW LONG DO RESULT LAST?
Unlike permanent tattoos, semi-permanent makeup gradually fades over time. Most clients enjoy results that last between 6–12 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Regular touch-ups will keep your brows looking polished and fresh.
IS SEMI-PERMANET MAKEUP RIGHT FOR YOU?
Semi-permanent makeup can be life-changing, but it’s not the right fit for everyone. A consultation is the best way to determine whether microblading, powder brows, feathering, or nano-blading will work for your skin type and beauty goals.
