Permanent Powder Eyebrows (alternative to Microblading)
Every day, you stand in front of the mirror, trying to draw on those eyebrows...No matter how hard you try, they and up uneven. What is even more annoying, they smudge just a few hours later! Sounds familiar? Then you definitely need permanent eyebrows!
With permanent eyebrows, also known as cosmetic tattooing (including powder brows, ombre brows, and microbladed eyebrows), you can finally bid farewell to your brow pencil for good. Enjoy smudge-free, waterproof brows that last all day and night!
Permanent makeup on eyebrows is perfect for:
Sparse eyebrow hair (or no brow hair at all) due to over-plucking, Alopecia, or other conditions
If you want to obtain a more defined look
If your brows are unbalanced or different shape
If your brow hair are very light and you would like to have more definition
If you just want perfect brows 24/7 without the hassle of daily brow makeup application
I offer permanent eyebrows right here in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, using the powder effect technique (also known as Ombre brows). This method creates a soft, natural look that mimics the result of brow pencil or powder makeup. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see some stunning examples of my work!
Results typically last 1-2 years or longer, gradually fading. You can opt for a colour boost to keep your eyebrow cosmetic tattoo looking fresh or let it fade further. Honestly, once you've experienced the convenience of perfect brows without the daily fuss and smudging, you won't want to go back.
My approach is all about achieving a natural look, where no one can tell you've had an eyebrow tattoo. This treatment suits all skin colours and brow shades, from light blond to the darkest brown or nearly black.
Each face is unique, and your brows deserve special attention because they frame your face and can provide a visual lift when shaped correctly.
During your appointment, we'll discuss your brow goals and the results you hope to achieve. I'll pre-draw the brow shape based on your unique needs and facial features. We'll choose the perfect color to complement your complexion and hair. I never use stencils – each brow shape is tailored to your specific features.
You'll have the chance to approve the shape before we begin. If there's anything you'd like to adjust, I'll make those tweaks until you're 100% satisfied. Only then will we start the cosmetic tattooing process.
Microblading or powder brows?
If you've been considering microblading in Cambridge, keep in mind that permanent powder brows are a fantastic alternative – suitable for all skin types and just as natural. Scroll down to see some impressive before and after photos.
Powder eyebrows are often confused with microblading, but they involve different techniques and tools. Powder brows are created using a gentle permanent makeup/tattoo machine and a small needle, making them suitable for all skin types.
Microblading, on the other hand, involves a manual tool with a small blade, creating a hair-stroke effect. I don't offer microblading because it's not suitable for many skin types.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding different techniques and styles of permanent makeup, I am always happy to advice what is best for your skin type and the look that you are hoping to achieve.

How long does eyebrows cosmetic tattoo appointment take? The whole treatment, including brow shape predraw, prenumb, and tattooing, takes around 2.5 hours.
Is eyebrow cosmetic tattoo procedure painful? Generally, it is not! For most people it feels a lot less painful than plucking your eyebrow hair. Moreover, I use topical numbing which will minimize any feeling of discomfort. Many of my permanent eyebrows clients fall asleep!
How do you choose the shape of my permanent eyebrows? I will create the brow shape based on your unique facial structure and natural brow hair growth. I never use stencils so your brows will be the brows that will suit You, and not someone else.
Will my eyebrows look natural? Absolutely yes! My style of work in natural looking permanent makeup, and I always aim to create natural looking results. No one will even guess that you had a brow tattoo done (unless you tell them)! If you are extra worried about your eyebrows ending up too dark, I will choose a lighter colour on your first appointment and will go more conservative. Less is more in this case. We can always make brows thicker and darker during the touch up session if needed.
How I will look after my eyebrow cosmetic tattoo? Your new eyebrows will look darker, a little bit thicker, and more defined initially. There might be slight redness that normally subsides in a couple of hours. All in all, you will look completely normal, just like you have applied some extra makeup on your eyebrows.
My eyebrows are very light/ I have very little eyebrow hair. Can I still have powder eyebrows done? Of course! I have a choice of colours ranging from lighter blondes to darkest browns, and can create a very light, natural looking eyebrows for clients with very light brow hair or even with no brow hair at all!
How long permanent eyebrows take to heal? Brows normally heal in about 10-14 days
Is there anything I'm not allowed to do while my permanent eyebrows are healing? You must avoid getting your eyebrows wet, so nothing like swimming, Jacuzzi, steam rooms, saunas, and heavy sweaty exercise until your eyebrows fully heal. You can not apply makeup on and near your brows cosmetic tattoo until it fully heals.
I always hear people talking about microblading. Is it the same as permanent brows? Microblading is a form of permanent eyebrows, which is performed with a help of a fine blade. The treatment that I offer is called permanent powder eyebrows which are created with a fine needle and a permanent makeup device, rather than a blade.
How long my permanent eyebrows will last? Every skin is different, therefore eyebrow cosmetic tattoo will be fading with different speed on different people. Generally, permanent eyebrows last 1-3 years, after this time they will be quite faded and you will need a colour boost in order to make your brows look fresh and defined again. Cosmetic eyebrow tattoo on younger skin, oily skin, skin that has loads of sun exposure will fade quicker. On the other hand, mature skin and dry skin tends to hold onto the pigment for longer.
