Question 1

What is the difference between combination brows and microblading?

Accepted Answer

Microblading creates only hair-like strokes for a very natural look. Combination brows add powder shading on top, giving more definition and a slightly fuller appearance. Both look natural — combination brows just have a little more depth.

Question 2

How long do combination brows last?

Accepted Answer

Combination brows typically last 2–3 years. The powder shading element tends to hold colour slightly longer than pure microblading. An annual colour refresh is recommended to keep them looking their best.

Question 3

Are combination brows suitable for oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes — combination brows are an excellent choice for oily skin. The powder shading component holds up especially well on oilier skin types where pure hair strokes may fade faster.

Question 4

Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the treatment to minimise discomfort. Most clients find it very manageable — a mild tingling or scratching sensation rather than pain.
