How to Choose the Right Permanent Makeup Pigment for Eyebrow Tattoo

Choosing the right pigment for eyebrow tattoos is essential for achieving the desired results, ensuring long-lasting effects, and maintaining client satisfaction. As a professional factory specializing in permanent makeup (PMU) pigments, we’ve compiled a detailed guide to help you make the best choice based on techniques, pigment formulas, and skin types.

Step 1: Understand the Different Eyebrow Techniques

Different PMU techniques require specific pigments and tools. Here’s a breakdown:

* Microblading Brows

A manual technique using a microblade to create hair-like strokes. Results last 1–2 years. Ideal for clients seeking natural-looking eyebrows.

* Hairstroke Brows

A machine-based technique performed at slower speeds (under 4 volts) to create airy, pixel-like strokes. Best for beginners transitioning from microblading to machine work.

* Nano Brows

A high-speed machine technique (5–6 volts) designed for advanced PMU artists. Produces smooth, soft lines with precise control. Mastery of this technique ensures perfect depth and direction of strokes.

These techniques require specific pigments tailored to their application method and the artist’s skill level.

Step 2: Know the Different Pigment Formulas

PMU pigments are categorized into three formulas:

* Oil-Based Pigments (Inorganic)

* Larger pigment particles with glycerin as the main solvent.

* Perfect for microblading and microshading.

* Lasts 1–2 years. Can also be used with machines when diluted.

* Powder-Based Pigments (Hybrid)

* Medium-sized pigment particles with a mix of organic and inorganic elements.

* Suitable for hairstroke brows and machine work.

* Retains color for approximately 2 years.

* Water-Based Pigments (Organic)

* Nano-particles spread easily and implant deeply into the skin.

* Ideal for nano brows, hairstroke brows, and powder brows.

* Provides high retention for up to 3 years with just one pass.

Step 3: Match Pigments to Techniques

Selecting the correct pigment depends on the artist’s technique and skill level:

* Oil-Based Pigments: Best for microblading and microshading due to their thicker consistency.

* Powder-Based Pigments: A versatile choice for PMU beginners transitioning to machine techniques.

* Water-Based Pigments: Designed for advanced artists. Requires careful handling to avoid over-saturation or blue tones.

Step 4: Consider Skin Color and Undertone

Understanding skin tones is critical for achieving natural results:

* Fitzpatrick Scale:

* Types 1–2 (Pale Skin): Light brown or blonde pigments work best.

* Types 3–4 (Medium Skin): Popular colors include medium brown, dark brown, and golden brown.

* Types 5–6 (Dark Skin): Opt for deep black or darkest brown pigments for visibility and longevity.

* Undertones:

* Cool undertones: Use warm pigments to balance the look.

* Warm undertones: Neutral or slightly cool pigments work well.

* Neutral undertones: Most pigments are compatible.
