5 Tips for Microblading

on February 28, 2022
Microblading is a technique that requires dexterity and technique. In this blog I share 5 tips for microblading
 

Tip #1

The omen of the brows

One of the most important parts when drawing the eyebrows is to take your time. Sometimes it takes me 30 to 45 minutes to figure out the right eyebrow placement and shape. I also explain this to my clients and I involve them in this process (as far as possible). I ask what they want or expect, so that the customer has the feeling that her experience and wishes also matter. People are often already nervous before the treatment and in this way you remove the uncertainty.

You can do the omen by means of measuring, string or a template and this often happens while your customer lies with closed eyes. Then I let the customer sit and we look together with our eyes open at, among other things, facial expression and symmetry. The optical sight is very important so see what happens and determine if there is still need for correction. Now is the time to make even minor adjustments (certainly not major changes) that can make all the difference. If you need to correct it, do it now.
To then save the shape, you can mark it off using the . small dots around the contour of your drawing with a surgeon pen so that the shape remains clearly visible during the treatment.


At the end of the treatment I check again whether the shape and symmetry is correct while the client is sitting.

Tip #2

Tense skin

I use the 3-point stretch method during microblading. Tension the skin while applying the strokes. You use your thumb, index finger and the little finger of your free hand for this. This results in a tight crispy stroke!

 

Hint #3

Sign Strokes

When you start with microblades you have practiced the model on latex and it is now in your head. After all, you are not allowed to cross, so that the skin opens up like a wiggle that is lifted.
It can help you to pre-draw the hairs with a pigment brush or your blade with a very small amount of pigment before you really start. So you don't open the skin yet. You can also determine what you are going to do up front and, if necessary, consult with your customer. She will feel involved and it will only take a little extra time. For me it is nice to arrive at the result together with the customer and they are not shocked when they see the end result.
 
Good information about what the customer can expect is super important!
 

Hint #4

The depth of the stroke

In the beginning of my career I was often too deep in the skin. This happens quickly and through experience I know that that is precisely the art of microblading. The 'Sweet Spot' is what it's all about. Just the right skin layer and with the right tension, depth and speed. Bleeding isn't everything. Some clients bleed quickly and others not at all. Be careful and feel what you are doing. Go over the set stroke as many times as necessary until it is filled and just a little thicker than a real hair. The stroke will shrink slightly. As soon as you see a blue glow on the sides of your stroke, you are definitely too deep and it will also be difficult to place other strokes nearby.
 
 

#5

The filling of the stroke

Filling the strokes can be done in different ways, but the most important thing is that you are exactly in the stroke you set when you go through it again.This can be done with a smooth movement or by holding your blade 90 degrees and going very gently up and down the channel. You feel it when you are in it. Repeat this 2 to 3 times if necessary. Put little pigment on your blade and when you are done put a mask of pigment over it, possibly adding some heat to the color. Let this sit for a while but no longer than 5 minutes.
