GENERAL
1. What is PMU over all?
Permanent Makeup (PMU) is also called permanent cosmetics tattoo or micropigmentation. It is a cosmetic technique which employs pigments & ink as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyebrow and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the lips, eyeliner, scalp etc.
2. What is Microshading & Microblading?
The microblading technique involves the artist creating hair-like strokes and using pigments that penetrate your brow skin—thus leaving nice strokes that look like real hair. It requires the use of microblades or thin needles with machine that help place the pigment into skin.
The microshading technique will use a stippling method (instead of hair-like strokes) and repetitive doses of pigment to create a soft, powdered effect that resembles eyebrow powder—and it is definitely the look that you might see on photographs of many influencers.
When it comes down to choosing between microshading or microblading, it all depends on your preferences and your skin type. In many cases, we combine both techniques to get the best of both worlds.
