Microblading: Why It’s Becoming Increasingly Popular

Arched or curved, feathered or bold—eyebrows are one of the most defining facial features. Eyebrows can make or break your entire look. But alas, not everyone is blessed with perfect, on-fleek eyebrows.

If you’re not satisfied with the pair you have, fortunately, there are a number of options you can try to upgrade their appearance. While many use cosmetic products such as brow gels and eyebrow pencils to fill in their eyebrows, it’s natural to want more permanent results. Microblading offers just that.

Microblading, or eyebrow embroidery as it’s so aptly called, has become an emerging popular trend in the beauty business. Microblading is infinitely more natural looking than other options. The process involves embroidering strokes on your brows to give them the appearance of real hair.

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is a treatment of cosmetic tattooing in which an aesthetician uses tiny blades (microblades) to embed pigment under the skin of the eyebrows. It results in defined and fuller looking eyebrows. It can also be used to enhance or alter the shape of your eyebrows.

Microblading is done through manual blading in order to make sharp and precise hair-like strokes. Using a precision hand-held tool, usually a bladed pen, the microblading expert meticulously draws on each stroke of hair. This is why the results look really natural and realistic.

Also referred to as 3D eyebrow tattooing, the results of microblading usually last from 3 to 5 years before it starts fading. A touch up is then required for upkeep.

How Does It Work?

Unlike traditional tattooing, micorblading uses specially created ink that’s inserted into the skin. The pigments are usually mineral-based keeping in mind the safety and sensitivity of facial skin.

Prior to starting the actual microblading procedure, the aesthetician will measure your face and decide what will suit you best, according to your face shape. They will then draw and fill in the brows and embed the pigment within that stencil. The process usually takes between one and a half to two hours, after which a final touch up is required in order to get your desired look.

Why Has It Become So Popular?

Imagine waking up with on-fleek eyebrows every day without putting in any effort. Micorblading helps you achieve that. Making your eyebrows camera-ready at all times, microblading is increasingly becoming popular among people for the ease and convenience it offers.

Microblading also offers amazingly realistic results. The pigment doesn’t look like it’s tattooed onto the skin. It actually gives off a very natural, feathered appearance. Plus, fuller brows are all the rage these days and those who’re not naturally gifted with perfect brows can give microblading a try.

Marriage may not be the end of a fun life, but it is the end of single life. Bachelor and bachelorette parties celebrate a person’s last night as a married man or woman. These parties are also known as the hen, stag-dos in the UK, and Jack and Jill parties in Australia. Thomas Thurnell-Read , a sociologist at Loughborough University, describes these pre-wedding festivities as a rite of passage . When a young person switches from one phase of life to another, it’s an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family. Holding gendered-rituals like bachelorette parties to mark the end of being single has been a tradition since the 17th century . Modern bachelor and bachelorette parties in the 21st century are high-influenced by pop culture; for example, movies like the “The Hangover.” People spend a ton of money on their party arrangements and travel. According to a wedding site, The Knot, the average bachelorette party costs $537 per attendee in 2018. The activities involved in these parties include travel, accommodation, gifts, and food. From skydiving to destination weekends, and from wine tasting to a low-key spa evening , girls now have plenty of options to choose from. But if you’re on a budget and are looking for the perfect girls’ night, here are some creative ideas to get you started.

A body scrub is one of the most popular body care treatments. It is basically a facial for the entire body that hydrates and exfoliates the skin leaving it soft and smooth. The scrub is typically done with an abrasive material such as sugar or sea salt that is mixed with aromatic massage oils. After the scrub, the body is treated with a high-quality cream or lotion to soothe and hydrate the skin. A professional body scrub can only be performed by skilled aestheticians who are licenced and certified to work on the skin and have in-depth knowledge of how different skin types react to different products.  Here are some reasons why body scrubs should be a regular part of your beauty routine:

You don’t have genes of a Greek goddess or a closet full of expensive skincare products to look young and beautiful. If you want skin like J-Lo, Olivia Wilde, Miranda Kerr or any of the celebrities who look airbrushed in reality, you need to have a skin routine. Nothing gives your skin that youthful glow and healthy plumpness than a good night’s sleep. But there’s more to skincare than turning off the lights at 10 every night. Winters may have quit the scene, but the effects of harsh cold and dry winds are still pretty much there on your skin. You don’t want your skin to look scaly, dry, and cracked now, do you? That’s why you need to restore luster to your skin by getting a full body scrub.
