It's 2018. Cara Delevingne is the 'It Girl' of the moment... and all everyone can talk about is brows. Specifically, what to do with the thin, over-plucked, horizontal lines sitting on top of their eyes. We all want to know how to make them thicker. Fuller-looking. More defined. More... Cara-ish.
Along with an explosion of brow product launches (pencils! powders! tints! pens!) one specific non-surgical cosmetic treatment has started trending — and it promises lasting results without the fuss.
It's called 'microblading'.
But first, watch Amy Clark's Brow Lamination. Post continues below.
What is microblading, and how does it work?
Touted as the next big thing, the cosmetic tattooing procedure hit a whole other level of popularity. Everyone knew someone who had their brows microbladed — and yes, they loved it. The low-effort, timesaving ease of microbladed brows meant you didn't have to fill them in with brow products and mess around with expensive in-salon tinting — you could quite literally just wake up and go.
The treatment, also known as feather brow tattooing, is the process of cosmetically tattooing on natural-looking eyebrows to bolster (or replace) over-plucked or sparse brows. The semi-permanent results (it can last anywhere from one to four years) combined with the natural-looking results are part of why the treatment became so popular.
