It goes without saying that one of the hottest trends in cosmetology right now is microblading. After all, who doesn’t wish they could wake up with perfect brows?
More people are considering permanent cosmetics as a result of the huge hype around microblading. The need for microblading experts has, of course, increased.
But in order to become a brilliant artist, you must have received the technical training in microblading required for the position.
Needless to say, microblading is not as straightforward as threading or forming clients’ arches. As you probably already know, it takes a lot of effort to obtain the ideal appearance with microblading, which might seem like one of the trickiest techniques to learn. Your outcomes are significantly influenced by the method, abilities, and microblading patterns you select.
It is seen as a surgery requiring specialised knowledge, similar to what plastic surgeons undertake. In addition, much like surgeons, tattoo artists who do microblading must acquire the necessary medical knowledge and proficiency. It is at this point that supervised instruction and practice are essential.
Making superb stretches is without a doubt the most crucial element in getting fantastic strokes. The skin must be flattened in three different directions in order to get a correct stretch. It’s referred to as a 3-point stretch.
The client’s forehead should have the stretched hand (the one without a device) properly positioned along it to hold the skin down and evenly spread it out in brief, tense stretches. These two points make up the third.
To achieve the 3-point stretch, the operating hand’s pinkie must now simultaneously spread in the opposite direction. When you believe the skin cannot become much firmer, you are almost there. Keep in mind that the strokes will be neat when the skin is evenly spread out and flat so there are no creases or bumps on the surface.
In this area, the most common error I observe is committed. Pay special focus to the angle at which the blade touches the skin and penetrates it. It is imperative that the microblading needle enters straight down, not at an inclination.
A high-quality microblading hair stroking has all of the needles in complete contact with the epidermis and enters the skin at a 90-degree angle.
Think about how ineffective it would be to attempt and trim a piece of paper with your scissors at an angle. Similar to this is microblading. Hair strokes will be sketchy if you are not piercing the skin at a perpendicular angle, lowering the clarity, fineness, and freshness of the strokes.
The most frequent query I receive from artists is regarding depth. Depth is important because if you go too shallowly, all you’ll hit is the skin, and the pigment will fade. If you dig too much, you risk leaving scars and the colour healing too grey.
How then do you calculate the ideal depth? The fact of the matter is that it can be quite difficult since every customer has a unique skin type and frequently the skin is much thinner at the end of the eyebrows than the bulb of the eyebrow. You should only microblade to the top skin if you want the pigment to retain.
A paper-cut-like, tiny line, frequently with pinpointed bleeding, indicates that you’ve struck the top skin, or the “hot spot.” Familiarise yourself with the optimal depth for microblading and how it correlates to the thickness of the client’s skin.
Although it is a difficult undertaking, developing, and establishing oneself as an artist will pay off greatly. These are the 3 main things you need to build precision and accuracy for becoming good at microblading techniques.
Practice and Consistency are the secrets to microblading precision.
Don’t get lost in the many tips and tricks out there on the internet. Get your basics right and stick to practice developing muscle memory and viola you get better at it. After 50 sessions clarity, precision and accuracy start to appear in your microblading technique if you stick to practising the basics.
