What are Powder Brows?
Powder Brows—also known as Ombre Brows—are a modern permanent makeup technique that gives your eyebrows a soft, shaded finish, similar to the look of brow powder or pomade. Instead of creating individual hair strokes like microblading or nano brows, Powder Brows are done using a digital machine that gently implants pigment in layers.
The result: Brows that look fuller, more defined, and makeup-ready, yet still natural and customizable.
- Soft Gradient Effect: Lighter at the front of the brow and gradually darker toward the tail, creating a polished ombré fade.
- Customizable Intensity: From a subtle tint that looks like a light brow powder to a bold, makeup-ready finish.
- Skin-Friendly: Great for all skin types, especially oily or mature skin where hair-stroke techniques may not heal as crisp.
- Long-Lasting: Results typically last 2–3 years with proper care, making it a low-maintenance beauty investment.
Why Choose Ombre / Powder Brows?

- Smudge-Proof: Stay flawless through workouts, rain, and long Boston commutes
