What Are Ombré Brows?
Ombré brows are a form of permanent make-up designed to create a soft, shaded brow effect with a gradual blend of colour throughout the brows. The front of the brow is kept lighter and softer, with more definition building through the arch and tail for a polished yet natural-looking finish.
At Features Beauty, ombré brows are performed by Yasmin Dyson, who has over a decade of experience within the brow industry.
What Makes Yasmin’s Approach Different?
Yasmin is known for creating brows that enhance your natural features whilst still feeling soft, wearable and low maintenance long-term.
Rather than creating an overly harsh or heavily saturated brow, careful attention is paid to your natural brow shape, facial structure and overall balance to create results that complement you both with and without makeup.
The focus is always on creating soft, timeless healed results with smooth shading and dimension, ensuring the brows heal beautifully over time without appearing overly blocky or solid.
Who Are Ombré Brows Suitable For?
Ombré brows are ideal for clients who:
- Prefer a more polished makeup-style brow
- Want fuller and more defined brows
- Have sparse or uneven brows
- Have oily skin
- Want longer-lasting brow definition
- Regularly wear brow makeup
- Want a soft shaded finish without hair strokes
This treatment is especially popular with clients wanting a low-maintenance brow that still looks defined day-to-day.
A consultation is required before booking to assess your skin type, existing brow shape, lifestyle and desired healed result.
How Do Ombré Brows Work?
Ombré brows are created using a machine technique which gently layers pigment into the skin to build soft shading throughout the brows.
The colour is implanted gradually to create a smooth gradient effect, with softer definition at the front of the brows and more depth through the arch and tail.
A bespoke brow mapping process is carried out before treatment begins to ensure the shape complements your natural features and suits your desired style.
What Are The Benefits Of Ombré Brows?
Benefits of ombré brows include:
- Fuller and more defined brows
- Soft makeup-style finish
- Longer-lasting definition
- Improved symmetry
- Reduced need for daily brow makeup
- Suitable for most skin types, including oily skin
- Customised results tailored to your features and preferences
What Should I Expect During The Appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a detailed consultation and brow mapping process where shape, colour and desired outcome are discussed thoroughly before treatment starts.
Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful.
Immediately after treatment, the brows will appear darker and more defined. During healing, the colour will soften and settle into a more natural finish.
A top-up appointment is required 6–12 weeks after the initial appointment to perfect the healed results and complete the treatment process.
How Long Do Ombré Brows Last?
Ombré brows are considered a long-term permanent make-up treatment, however colour retention will naturally soften over time.
To maintain the shape, colour and overall result, a maintenance top-up is usually recommended every 12–18 months. This can vary depending on factors such as:
- Skin type
- Lifestyle
- Sun exposure
- Skincare products used
- Overall pigment retention
Clients with oilier skin types or active lifestyles may require more regular colour refresh appointments.
How Should I Prepare For My Appointment?
Before your appointment, we recommend:
- Avoiding alcohol for 24 hours before treatment
- Avoiding all caffeine on the day of treatment
- Avoiding retinol, acids or active skincare around the brow area beforehand
- Avoiding waxing, tinting or laminating the brows 7 days prior to treatment
- Arriving with your usual brow makeup if you regularly wear it
What Is The Aftercare?
Following your aftercare correctly is essential for the best healed results.
After treatment, you will receive full aftercare guidance, however general aftercare includes:
- Keeping the brows completely dry for 2 weeks
- Avoiding excessive sweating, swimming and saunas during healing
- Avoiding picking or scratching the area
- Avoiding makeup directly on the brows during the healing stage
- Applying aftercare products exactly as advised
Healing typically takes around 4–6 weeks in total.
