WHAT IS PHISOMBRÉ BROWS?
More and more clients today are looking for new eyebrow drawing techniques that will allow them to achieve the fullest, but also, the most natural look of their eyebrows. PhiSombré Brows is a unique technique of eyebrows shading performed with Permanent Make-up device. Pigments are used to achieve very natural ‘soft powder‘ effect and to create a fuller, three-dimensional and hyper-realistic eyebrow look.
PhiSombré can be described as a kind of art in Permanent Make up where the artist will learn how to work with a colour accurately, graduate with the shades and work in layers to achieve a very natural result. This way of shading gives the most natural soft result which replaces a daily make up and saves time for our clients. Colour is the most important mean of the expression, nevertheless it is subjective, it makes a very noticeable psychological effect. For this reason, painting is based on the colour tones ratio. We are creating the reality using shadows gradation. In this way the volume appears in a plain sheet of paper. If this would be performed in a wrong way the asymmetry would appear, or the existing one would become more visible. So the gradation of the colour has to be very precise.
There are two shading techniques found in art:
Ombre – When different colours are used and they gradually shift from one into other.
Sombre – When the gradation of the colouring is done by using just one and same colour.
Nowadays trends made ombre technique very popular in the beauty industry – nails, hair colouring same as Sombre but for more natural and not so decorative result.
GENERAL PRE-ADVICE
We do not wax or take off ANY existing eyebrows. We will tidy the area but do not remove the whole eyebrow. We recommend clients to attend with freshly washed hair this is due to the implications of the aftercare of your brows that you cannot get them wet as this may affect the healing process. A patch test is required to test the ink allergy. Please come at least 1 hour or days before your appointment for the test which we will then scratch your skin area behind your ear with the tool and apply some pigment into the skin.
We recommend that you cannot tint your eyebrows for at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after as this may affect the healing process. We recommend 6–12-month top ups but it depends on the individuals healing. Your enhancement may be left looking slightly swollen, red, bolder and darker and may take longer than expected, therefore we advise you not to make any social plans on the day of your procedure.
