💭 Thinking About Eyebrow Tattooing?

If you’re considering permanent makeup for your brows, you’ve probably come across both Microblading and Machine Hair Stroke techniques. But what’s the difference — and which one is right for you?

Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.

✒️ What is Microblading?

Microblading uses a manual hand tool with fine blades to create realistic-looking hair strokes. It cuts small lines into the skin and implants pigment into them.

Best for:

• Younger, normal-to-dry skin

• People with already defined brow shape

• Those looking for ultra-natural strokes

Things to consider:

• Fades faster on oily or mature skin

• Can blur over time if skin isn’t suitable

🖌️ What is Machine Hair Stroke?

Also called Nano Brows or Digital Hair Stroke, this technique uses a PMU machine with a fine needle to create delicate, layered strokes that mimic natural brow hair — without cutting the skin like Microblading.

Best for:

• All skin types (especially oily or mature skin)

• Clients with thin or patchy brows

• People who want longer-lasting, gentle results

Why I Love It: At Ease & Arts Aesthetic, I specialise in machine-based techniques because they offer precision, less trauma, and longer-lasting results for most skin types.

👩‍⚕️ Which One Is Right for You?

Your Skin Type	Recommended Method
Oily or sensitive	Machine Hair Stroke ✔️
Mature or thin skin	Machine Hair Stroke ✔️
Normal to dry skin	Either (case by case)
Very sparse brows	Machine or Powder Combo
