If you search the term “microblading” on Instagram, you’ll see more than 80,000 photos of the new trend of semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing pop up. Though it might initially sound like a drastic way to get your eyebrows looking as lush and full as Cara Delevingne’s, microblading’s biggest fans beg to differ.

Here are 10 reasons why microblading is the new black!

#1. It’s a Time-Saver!

There are far more important things to fuss over in the morning – like the best pair of heels or leather jacket to accent your get-up – than perfecting your brows. With microblading, they’re already done. They’re already perfect!

 

#2. No More Smudges

Let’s face it, unless you’re a professional makeup artist, filling in (or drawing in) your brows on your own won’t always go over without a hitch. Remember those inconvenient moments spent retouching your brows and keeping smears and smudges at bay? Microblading eliminates all of that peskiness!

 

#3. No Pain & All of the Brow Gain

Forget all that you’ve heard about microblading and “pain!” The truth is, the process feels no different from standard plucking- just without all of the plucking! And because a good technician will likely choose a good local numbing anesthesia, you can expect even less discomfort and a faster healing time.

 

#4. Natural-Looking Results

Often referred to as “eyebrow embroidery,” microblading employs the use of clean, crisp hair-like strokes to fill in sparse places along your natural brow line. The pigments used are formulated to match your original eyebrow color. The results are natural, flawless, fuller brows that look like, well, YOU!

 

#5. The Process is Faster Than a Makeup Minute

In about the time it takes to pencil in a set of brows in the morning (approx 20-30 minutes on average), you can have gorgeous, ready-to-go eyebrows. Most microblading procedures are done in about two and a half hours.

 

#6. A Perfectly-Timed Recovery

With just three to seven days required for recovery, you can schedule your microblading procedure on a Friday and be ready just in time to attend the big event or take off for vacation the following week!

 

#7. Expert Knowledge You Can Trust

With rigorous education, training, and certification requirements (many have studied under and worked with leading plastic surgeons), cosmetic tattooers represent a community of seasoned experts.

 

#8. It’s Organic!

The future is organic and the future is now! Things are no less true when it comes to semi-permanent makeup! As of very recently, most of the inks used in microblading are composed of biodegradable pigments.

 

#9. Microblading Isn’t Just For the Makeup Fan

While it’s easy to assume that the woman who has the name of a cosmetic tattooer in her smart phone, is the same woman who loves her makeup, it’s not always the case. Fact is: youthful “natural” beauties are some of the biggest fans of tattooed makeup.

 

#10. It’s Long-Lasting

Most microblading results last anywhere from 11 to 18 months. And in most cases, only a single touch-up is needed.
