Brow Shape Selection: How to Choose the Right Shape for Your Face
You’re considering permanent makeup for your brows. You’ve researched microblading and nano brows. You understand the techniques. You’re ready to book a consultation. But there’s one question still bothering you: what shape should you actually ask for? Most online brow shape guides offer the same generic advice — round face needs an arch, square face […]
Combination Brows: When Hair Strokes Plus Shading Is the Right Choice
If you’ve researched permanent makeup for brows, you’ve probably encountered three options: microblading, nano brows, and “combination brows.” The first two are well-explained online. The third is often mentioned in passing without much detail — sometimes as “the best of both worlds,” sometimes as if it’s a marketing label rather than a distinct technique. Combination […]
Brows for Oily Skin: Why Microblading Often Fails and What to Choose Instead
You have oily skin. You’ve been thinking about microblading. You’ve researched it, found a studio, possibly even had a consultation. And somewhere along the way, you’ve encountered the same message repeatedly: microblading doesn’t work well on oily skin. The message is true. It’s also incomplete. Oily-skinned clients have excellent PMU brow options — they just […]
Microblading Correction: Fixing Old, Faded, or Botched Brows
If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking at your brows in the mirror with regret. Maybe they’re blocky and grey. Maybe one is higher than the other.

Microblading Aftercare: The Complete Day-by-Day Healing Guide
Half of your microblading result depends on what happens in the chair. The other half depends on what happens during the four weeks of healing that follow. We’ve seen flawlessly executed microblading sessions ruined by poor aftercare — and we’ve seen modest first-session results transformed into beautiful brows because the client followed every aftercare instruction […]
Eyebrow Mapping: The Foundation of Perfect Permanent Brows
Before a single needle touches your skin during any brow PMU procedure, your artist will spend 20 to 30 minutes doing something that doesn’t look glamorous: measuring your face with calipers, drawing dots in cosmetic pencil, and sketching shapes you’ll review in a handheld mirror. This is eyebrow mapping — and it’s the single most […]
Microblading vs Nano Brows: Which Technique Is Right for You?
Two techniques. Similar results. Very different processes. If you’ve been researching permanent makeup for your brows, you’ve almost certainly hit a wall of conflicting information about microblading and nano brows. One article says microblading is more natural; another says nano is the new gold standard. Some artists insist nano is “the same thing, just with […]
How to Do Microblading: Understanding the Technique Behind Beautiful Brows
Microblading looks simple from the outside — an artist draws hair strokes into your brows and you walk out with fuller, more defined eyebrows. But beneath that simplicity is a technique that takes professional artists 12–18 months of training to perform well. If you’re considering microblading, understanding how it’s actually done will make you a […]
Nano Brows Tutorial: The Precision Technique That’s Replacing Microblading
Walk into any premium PMU studio in London today and you’ll notice something interesting: experienced artists are quietly moving away from microblading and toward a newer technique called nano brows.

Microblading Step-by-Step: What Really Happens During Your Session
Microblading Step-by-Step: What Really Happens During Your Session If you’ve decided microblading might be right for you, the next question is usually the same: what actually happens in the chair?
