A technique for enhancing the appearance of the eyebrows, in which pigment is scratched into the skin in fine, short strokes resembling hair, using a hand tool with a blade formed by a straight line of tiny needles. This technique is not for every skin type (i.e. very oily skin, large pores, mature skin) Microblading is also not good for coverups of preexisting pigments in the skin. Microblading is more invasive as the micro blade goes deeper into the skins epidermis (upper layers) of the ski.
