Microblading is the most common semi-permanent makeup that can be used to enhance the beauty and fullness of your brows. Many women have been opting for this method since its inception. Microblading is not for everyone. It’s not recommended for people with large pores or oily skin. The colour doesn’t show up well and can make your brows look blurry. Ombre Powder Brows are best for oily skin.
