Microblading Brows by Emily

Brows created like they always belonged
Hairstrokes to recreate natural volume loss. Hyper realism or nanoblading , will create beautiful hairstrokes that don’t look stamped on.

Long appointments because……. It’s your face after all 💁🏻‍♀️

More hairstrokes were not the answer here.

Look at the before image- the last slide and straight-on.

There was existing asymmetry, which meant simply adding beautiful microbladed strokes wouldn’t automatically create a more balanced result.
This is where understanding when to shade becomes just as important as knowing how to blade.
During this 1:1 Blade & Shade training session, we used hairstrokes for texture and softness, then introduced shading strategically to create density where it was needed and bring the brows into better visual balance.
Because good brow work isn’t just about creating the prettiest stroke pattern.
It’s about looking at the whole canvas.

🧡Shape.
🧡Existing hair.
🧡Density.
🧡Asymmetry.
🧡Skin.

And how both brows read together from a normal viewing distance — not just through a close-up lens.
Sometimes hairstrokes alone are perfect.
Sometimes shading is what takes a set of brows from technically nice to properly considered.

And this is exactly the part of training I love teaching — not just how to perform a technique, but why you would choose it in the first place.

If you’re a microblading artist who wants more education around pattern choice, correction, blade & shade and the actual decision-making behind great healed work, follow along.

No gatekeeping. No technique wars. Just better brows and better education. 🤍

Save this one for the next time you’re tempted to think “I’ll just add more strokes.”

A touch-up isn’t transferable. I’ll say it!

And this might be one of the most misunderstood things I hear as a brow artist.

If another artist originally created your permanent makeup, booking an appointment with me doesn’t make your next appointment a *touch-up*.

Why? Because I’m not simply topping up my own work.

I’m working with somebody else’s shape, pigment choice, colour, depth, technique and previous placement — and I have no way of knowing exactly what was put into the skin before you arrived.

Sometimes existing brows can be worked with beautifully.

Sometimes they need correcting.

And sometimes the best thing I can recommend is removing old permanent makeup first so we can actually create the brows you came to me for.

That isn’t me being difficult or refusing to “just go over them”. It’s because I care about how your brows will look not only when you leave my clinic, but months and years later.

So if you’re looking for a brow artist in Poole, Dorset for microblading, nano brows, hyper realism, machine hairstrokes, combo brows, permanent makeup brows, brow correction or old PMU removal, please don’t worry if you already have previous work.

Send me a clear photo first and I’ll happily advise you on the best next step. 🤍

Clients — save this if you have existing PMU and aren’t sure what you need.
Artists — share it if you’ve had the “can I book a touch-up?” conversation more times than you can count. 😆

EVOLUTION DOESN’T REQUIRE DIVISION

There’s room for more than one technique in this industry.
If a technique doesn’t serve you, your clients or the way you like to work, that’s completely fine.
But that doesn’t automatically make the technique itself poor, outdated or damaging.

Too often we blame the tool when the real issue sits elsewhere.

Poor Education.
Multiple passes.
Over-saturation.
Working too deeply.
Unnecessary yearly “top ups”.
Repeatedly working over pigment that doesn’t need more pigment.
Poor skin selection.
Poor technique.

Those things can compromise healed results whether you’re holding a blade or a machine.
I perform both techniques, and I see value in both. They work differently, they suit different clients and they each require their own level of understanding and control.

And I think this is where our industry could do better: stop trying to elevate one technique by tearing another one down.

If microblading isn’t your field, that’s okay.
If machine hairstrokes aren’t your field, that’s okay too.

But look at the work of somebody who genuinely specialises in that technique. Look at their healed results. Look at how they work, who they treat, when they say no and how conservatively they approach future maintenance.
Because learning from somebody whose work is consistently centred around mastering that particular technique is very different from learning about it from somebody who no longer performs it.

We should absolutely evolve. We should question old habits. We should stop overworking skin, stop automatically booking unnecessary colour boosts and stop treating every faded brow as though it needs filling again.

One technique doesn’t need to be made the villain for another to have value.
Educate on the differences. Respect skilled work in both.

Good brows shouldn’t walk into the room before you do.
They should just make people wonder why you suddenly look so bloody good.
My signature Blade & Shade brows combine fine nanobladed hairstrokes, designed to mimic natural brow hair, with soft shading to add a little extra definition and fullness — without looking heavy or overly “done”.
Because great permanent makeup shouldn’t be the first thing somebody notices.
It should be the reason everything else just looks a little better. 😏
