Choosing the right color for your skin tone
Hey there! So, you probably clicked this link because you’re wanting to know more about how microblading artists select the best color for your brows.
The various shades of golden brown, light brown, medium brown, dark brown, red, and black (although this color is hardly EVER used as a standalone and should be combined with a drop of red pigment to keep it from fading to grey) are created by mixing different ratios of the baseline colors red, yellow, and black.
Baseline Colors For Mixing
There are tons of different brands of pigments out there, and at FILAMENT we use the SUPE line from Phi Academy in addition to creating customized color blends by mixing red, yellow, and black…or perhaps two of the pre-mixed colors you see below…or perhaps one of the pre-mixed colors and an additional single drop of one of the baseline colors. The possibilities are vast, and your best option is developed according to your desired look, skin type, skin tone, and lifestyle (ie. frequent sun exposure).
What’s really cool is that with each new microblading session, clients at FILAMENT receive a digital drawing of their new brows including color options so you can get an idea of what your microblading will look like before making the investment. I hope that helps to clarify microblading pigment formulation, and thanks for reading! If you have more questions for me you can click the button below. <3
