Which Brow Enhancement Method Is Right For You?
Microblading, Powder Brows or Nano Brows?
By now, you’ve likely heard of Microblading, but what about Ombre Powder Brows or Nano Brows? Also, what’s the difference between these Permanent Makeup Procedures (PMU)? And which technique is best for you? At M Beauty Studio, we’re always glad to walk you through deciding which procedure is right for your beauty goals and lifestyle!
One method isn’t better than the others because it all comes down to personal style, skin type, and coloring. Here’s everything you need to know about Microblading, Powder Brows, and Nano Brows to help you decide which session to book.
One thing is for sure – you’ll wake up every morning with flawless, fluffy brows without having to reach for brow powders, pomades, or pencils.
Method One: Microblading
Microblading replaces sparse individual hairs for a very natural result. This brow technique uses pigment to create hyper-realistic hair-like strokes. The pigment is implanted into the skin manually using a hand-held tool during your brow session. The device is crafted of several tiny needles that add a semi-permanent pigment to the skin. The microblade goes deeper into the skin’s epidermis (upper layers) to help create a natural-looking effect.
Who Is It Best For?
- Likes the look of powder-filled brows
- Wants a soft and natural look
- Has sensitive or more mature skin
- Has oily skin, acne-prone skin, or enlarged pores
- Wants to create a stronger shape to their brows
- Wants to add definition or darken their brows
- Doesn’t want to use makeup to fill in their brows
Method Two: Ombre Powder Brows
Ombre Powder Brows give the look of gradient shaded makeup that can be as subtle or as bold as you prefer. Ombre shading uses a small machine to position very thin dots of pigment into the skin to create a 100% customizable look. Brows look most like powder makeup – hence the name Powder Brows. With this method, the pigment isn’t placed as deep into the epidermis as Microblading, but it creates a more defined, solid look than microblading alone. Ombre Powder Brows can also cover old microblading, semi-permanent makeup, or cosmetic tattooing that has (somewhat) faded.

Method Three: Nano Brows
Nano blading is more similar to Microblading than Ombre Powder Brows. Nano Brows fill in scarce, thin brows for a thicker appearance. Nano Brows use a smaller needle with a hand-held machine to deposit pigment into the epidermis to create natural-looking hair strokes. The super-fine needle creates hair-like tattoo strokes that can thicken the look of the brows and change the overall shape of your brow.
The small needle allows for excellent precision and accuracy to give you natural-looking results.
Who Is It Best For?
- Is looking for natural, crisp results
- Has thicker or more oily skin
- Wants to fill in missing or sparse brow hairs
- Doesn’t want to use makeup to fill in their brows
- Wants to change the shape and thickness of their brows
