Are you considering enhancing your eyebrows with magic combination brows? Dive into our guide to learn about the procedure, benefits, and what to expect.
What Are Magic Combination Brows?
Combination brows, often referred to as combo brows, are a semi-permanent makeup technique that combines two popular methods: microblading and shading. Microblading involves the use of a fine blade to create natural-looking hair strokes in the eyebrows, mimicking the appearance of real hair. On the other hand, shading is done to add depth and dimension to the brows, creating a fuller and more defined look. The combination of these two techniques results in beautifully sculpted eyebrows that can last up to 1 – 3 years with proper care.
Benefits of Magic Combination Brows
There are numerous benefits to opting for combo brows. One of the key advantages is the longevity of the results. Unlike traditional makeup that requires daily application, combination brows can last for an extended period, saving you time and effort. Additionally, combination brows are ideal for those with sparse or uneven eyebrows, as they can help create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance. Furthermore, the semi-permanent nature of combination brows allows for flexibility, as you can adjust the shape and color over time to suit your preferences.
How Are Combination Brows Done?
The procedure for getting combination brows typically begins with a consultation with a trained and experienced brow artist. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your desired eyebrow shape, color, and overall look. Once you’ve agreed on a plan, the brow artist will apply a numbing cream to the area to minimize discomfort. The microblading and shading process will then commence, with the entire procedure taking approximately 2-3 hours to complete.
Below are the detailed steps of how we will do your combination brows:
Step 1. Online consultation: Upon booking your appointment, you’ll receive an online form to complete. This form is essential for us to understand your expectations, explain the procedure, and assess if magic combination brows are suitable for you. It takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Step 2. Direct consultation: During your appointment, we’ll discuss your desired brow look and any specific needs or expectations. We’ll evaluate your natural brows, share our recommendations, and agree on the best approach. This consultation lasts about 15 minutes.
Step 3. Numbing cream: After cleansing your brow area, we’ll apply a numbing cream, taking approximately 5 minutes.
Step 4. Brow mapping: Using your natural brows as a guide, we’ll map out the shape of your new brows. This involves finding the centerline of your forehead, locating the brow heads, ensuring symmetry, and drawing the shapes. This step ensures as much symmetry as possible, though perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed due to natural facial asymmetry.
Step 5. Refining the brows. We’ll work with you to refine the mapped-out shape, shaving away excess brow hairs to define the shape further.
Step 6. Brow Tattooing. With the shape finalized, we’ll use a machine and a nano needle to fill in the brows with selected color. This involves creating hairstrokes at the fronts of the brows and powder/shading for the rest to achieve a natural, defined look.
Step 7. Reviewing. Your new brows will be revealed, and we’ll make any minor adjustments if needed.
Step 8. Touch-Up Session: After 4 weeks, a second session is necessary to touch up color and balance the brows, especially for clients with oily skin. This ensures the best possible result.
What to Expect
After getting combination brows, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area. This is normal and should subside within a few days. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your brow artist to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results. You may also need to schedule a touch-up appointment 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure to perfect the shape and color of your brows.
Aftercare for Combination Brows
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best possible results from your combination brows. In the days following the procedure, it’s important to keep the treated area clean and dry. Avoiding excessive sweating, sun exposure, and swimming can also help promote proper healing. Additionally, you may be advised to apply a healing ointment to the area to aid in the healing process. It’s crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your brow artist to avoid complications and achieve optimal results.

Maintenance and Touch-Ups
While combination brows are long-lasting, they do require some maintenance to keep them looking their best. Depending on your skin type and lifestyle, you may need a touch-up appointment every 12-18 months to refresh the color and shape of your brows. During these touch-up appointments, your brow artist can make any necessary adjustments to ensure your brows continue to complement your features.
Conclusion
Magic combination brows are a great option for those looking to enhance their eyebrows with a natural-looking and long-lasting solution. By combining microblading and shading, you can achieve fuller, more defined brows that complement your facial features. If you’re considering getting combination brows, be sure to do your research and find a qualified and experienced brow artist to ensure the best results. With proper care and maintenance, your combination brows can last up to 1 – 3 years, giving you beautiful brows that you’ll love.
