These microblading eyebrow pens create bushy, fuller brows in just a few strokes

These eyebrow products let you try the bushy brow trend at home.

Whether you attemptto trim and shape your eyebrows yourself or let them reach their full bushy potential — we’re embracing thicker, fuller brows more than ever.

As a result, the list of brow treatments and methodology to help them flourish is endless, what with tinting, micro-waxing and eyebrow lamination all proving popular before lockdown. But, the treatment that is said to give longer lasting results? Microblading.

Microblading is an eyebrow treatment that involves depositing the same coloured pigments as your hair into the epidermis (surface) of the skin to recreate the look of fine hairs. It’s semi-permanent make-up for your eyebrows.

“Microblading is the biggest trend today on the brow market” says Ingrid Maillet, L’Oreal Paris’ international project manager for brows. In recent years, the idea of permanent make-up seems like the easiest option to maintain our eyebrows, as our schedules get busier and busier.

Microblading treatment currently aren’t available, as the government is not allowing beauty services to operate during lockdown. But if you’re considering booking yourself in once restrictions are lifted, there’s a way to test the waters beforehand. Enter, the microblading-effect pen.

Differing from a standard eyebrow pencil, the formulas these products use last a lot longer than usual. The tip of these pens are unlike the average pencil or gel. The applicator usually has a trident or four tip shape in order to create even, spread out, yet naturally-looking hairs.

This new type of eyebrow product is beginning to pick up in popularity. So much so, that one L’Oreal Micro Tattoo Eyebrow Definer, £9.99, is sold every minute in the UK.

“People understand how important brows are in framing the face” says Charlotte Knight, founder and creator of Ciaté’s own microblading pen. “Microblading is a great solution for defining the brows as it looks so natural, but it can be scary to commit to it as it lasts for up to a year. Plus the pigment can change and fade over time.”

As simple as it appears, there really is a no-fuss policy when it comes to microblading pens. “Just a few strokes of the pen will define your brows in seconds. The pigment is sheer so you can build it up gradually for a natural look that lasts all day” Charlotte recommends.
