This set is a powder brow that will soften during healing. During the first session, I always tend to apply color conservatively in order to see how your skin will retain the pigment. Then at the 6-8 week touch-up, I will adjust the color or saturation level if you desire them to heal a bit more dark. These healed softly enough that she wanted to add more color at her touch-up and the way the pigment cooled down to match her hair tone was lovely!
