Powder / Ombré Brows in Newport Beach

What powder brows are

Powder brows, also called ombré brows, give you the look of softly filled-in brows every day, with no makeup. With a machine, we build a gentle gradient: lighter at the front, gradually deeper toward the tail. Every set starts with custom brow mapping that you approve before we begin.

Who it’s for

• You like a defined, polished brow
• Oily or combination skin, where powder holds well and microblading often fades fast
• Sparse, thin or asymmetrical brows
• You want to stop filling in your brows every morning

Please check with us before booking if you are pregnant or nursing, have an active skin condition in the area, have used Accutane recently, have a blood-clotting condition, or use retinoid skincare (keep retinol/tretinoin off the procedure area for at least two months beforehand). If you take prescription retinoids, please consult your doctor before stopping.

The appointment

1. Consultation and brow mapping: we design your shape and you approve it.
2. Numbing cream is applied for comfort.
3. Shading goes on in soft, buildable layers, checking density and symmetry throughout.

It’s a single appointment and you can go about your day afterward. Skip intense workouts for the rest of the day.

Healing timeline

• Days 1–2: brows look darker and more defined than the final result. This is normal.
• Days 3–7: light scabbing or flaking.
• Days 7–14: color may look faded. This “ghosting” stage passes.
• Weeks 4–6: color settles.

A touch-up 6–8 weeks after your first session refines and evens out the result.

Aftercare

• Keep brows dry for 7–14 days.
• Don’t pick or scratch at flakes.
• Apply the aftercare ointment exactly as directed.
• Once healed, wear sunscreen on the area and keep acids and retinoids off your brows.

Pricing

Powder / ombré brows are $499 for your first visit. Touch-ups within 6 months are $199; later touch-ups are priced higher, so ask us for current rates. Powder brows typically last around 1–3 years.

Results vary with skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Your artist will talk you through what to expect for your skin.
