Ombre Brows
Ombre Brows
We’ve heard a lot of buzz around ombré brow shading. While ombré may make us think of the hair trend, it’s much subtler on the brow. The process is a blending of color using either brow tint or a pencil. Typically, to appear bolder, the brow is made to look darker at the arch. Think of it as the lowlights you get in your hair, but for your brow. It’s a subtle color transition that adds depth to otherwise wimpy-looking brows. It also looks way more natural than some other trends we’ve fared.
When Sally Hershberger’s resident brow expert Robyn Cosio mentioned ombré brows on a visit and said they are “the No. 1 technique she applies to her A-list clients,” we paused. Wouldn’t we all notice a drastic gradient effect on the bulk of Hollywood’s brows? Turns out the answer is no. So we spoke to Joey Healy to learn more about this trend.
What Is Ombré Shading?
Ombré shading is a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that uses a small machine to place extremely thin dots of pigment into the skin, creating a soft-shaded brow pencil look.
