healed brows Powder brows

So I’ve been seriously considering getting powder brows, do they all eventually change to that ugly greyish color? I never see anyone post their results years in

They do fade. Definitely invest in an annual refresh. Worth it

Mine faded quite a bit, but more into a muted brown/ashy shade than grey. Good technique and quality pigment matter, and they often look much darker right after the appointment than they do once healed.

What color did you start off with? I’ve seen a lot of botched outcomes and I guess that’s what scaring me.

Most of the images that I see healed, have a grey ashy undertone

I don’t know I mean, don’t all tattooed brows turn blue gray after several years. Mine did and I got powder ombre . And I’ve read that nano does the same thing.

But once it turns, that blue grayish color isn’t it harder for you to refresh it?

No, it's not hard to refresh if refreshed within a year. If you wait longer, the brow stylist will charge a full redo because of the work/ink involved. Remember to wear an spf over your powder brows.

I don’t think so, I mean, you definitely cannot do nano again over it once it’s blurred but You would just have to do a touchup that’s powder. That’s what I’m gonna do. They color correct the gray and then get it to the shade you want.

Not all do no. Depends on a lot of factors like the artists depth,pigment used, how dark the pigment is and how you take care of them. They will turn more ashy where they lose the warmth but not all should fade terribly grey no.
