What is the difference between the Simply Chic, the Perfectly Powdered, & the Sian Louisa Signature Brows?"All three brows are created using a handheld tool but using different needles and different techniques, completely difefrent styles are created. The Simply Chic Brow is a style of microblading, where we mimic the hairstrokes. This is usually a very soft, natural look that is undetectable. The Perfectly Powdered Brow, also known as 'ombre', is a shading technique using a special tool that creates tiny little pixels. This style mimics powder or pencil makeup instead of hairstrokes, giving a deeper more defined look. The Sian Louisa Signature Brow is a combination of both techniques. Using hairstrokes to create the body of the brow and then adding shading through out the brow for more depth and definition.
