What is Microblading?
Microblading is a Semi Permanent Make-Up (tattoo) that is designed to give the appearance of fuller and natural looking eyebrows in the form of hair strokes. A microblade has several very fine needles that create a blade. The blade passes (with lightweight precision) across the outer layer of skin (Epidermis) creating an opening in the skin (where the Dermis and Epidermis meets) and embeds the pigment into the new hair stroke.
What is Shading?
