Choosing your Eyebrow Colors for Microblading

Will the color of your natural eyebrows, skin and hair affect the results of your microblading experience? Yes!

Choosing the proper color for eyebrow microblading pigmentation is determined on many variables including the warmth (tone) of a client's skin. The three main categories are: pale and rosy, olive and tan, or deep-hued and dark. Depending on the tone of your skin, hair and natural brows, the ideal eyebrow ink color can be determined by a certified and experienced practitioner who is skilled in recognizing the different levels of tone, hue and the natural pigment expressed in the client’s face.

If the client has darker undertones or very light skin, the neutral palettes would be ideal. However, most of the available colors in the neutral palettes have a reddish pigmentation. For clients with medium skin tones, cadmium red or alizarin crimson are the red undertones that blend nicely. On the other hand, the fairest skin tones require a very trained artistic eye to choose the right color in order achieve the most desirable results. 

We also choose color according to the thickness of the eyebrow hair, as well as the client’s desired look. We always ask if the client prefers a more glamorous look or a more natural look since beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In some cases, the color on the palette may require a special blend of a cooler or warmer color to achieve the client’s desired outcome. Before we proceed, we make sure the chosen color feels right to both the client and the practitioner so there are no surprises.

Microblading colors also vary depending on brand, ingredients, and shelf life.
