Microshading and Combo Brows at The BrowBar
Permanent eyebrow techniques are quickly taking off, with techniques like microblading and ómbre brow already popular everywhere from Hollywood to runways. At The Brow Bar, we use the micro-shading technique – combining the effects of both microblading and powder brow – to create a single perfect look.
The Brow Bar is a permanent makeup studio in Orange County, CA (in Garden Grove) and Oakdale, MN with experienced artists. We work with a range of clients, customizing our brow techniques to your preferred styles and personal needs.

Combro Brows for Glamorous and Versatile Eyebrows
Microshading is a form of eyebrow tattooing that uses two different techniques to create a full and well defined eyebrow. The first of these is the fine, hair-like strokes used in microblading. We apply these near the head of your brows. We also use ómbre powder to create a filled look towards the body and tail of your brows.
Our combo brow gives you a makeup like appearance that is natural yet defined. It provides the hairline definition of microblading but is suitable for combination and oily skin types on which microblading alone often will not work. This look, depending on your preferences, can also appear less made up and softer than a powder brow if you want a well blended brow.
The microshading technique accentuates existing brows and lets your natural hairs continue to grow, giving you the same look that you might create with makeup but without the hassle. Microshading lasts for approximately 1 to 3 years depending on your skin type and how frequently you get touch ups.
How Microshading Can Help You Get Your Perfect Brows
Microshading is good for a range of goals and a recommended solution for many people looking to enhance their eyebrows. Some of the benefits of microshading include:
- Fuller looking eyebrows and more symmetrical brows.
- Long lasting appearance.
- Suitable for normal, dry, and combination skin types.
- More defined brow shape.
Because you are working with the expert artists at The Brow Bar, you also get the benefit of a highly customized brow look. Your artist will discuss the brows you want to achieve with you, including taking inspiration from any photos you bring in. We are experts in aesthetics as well, and can design an eyebrow look that both achieves your style goals and looks fantastic with your face shape.
The process for microshading takes approximately 3 hours, including drawing and tattooing. The initial appearance will be bright and bold, but will heal to a more natural look in the next couple of weeks.
Between 4 and 12 weeks following your appointment, we generally recommend a perfecting session where we can examine how the pigment has taken to your skin and if there are any areas that need touch ups. This gives you the best chance of beautiful, long lasting eyebrows after microshading.
