Whether you’re heading to a morning workout at the Waterfront or chasing kids through Esther Short Park, waking up with flawless brows can make a huge difference. At DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo in Vancouver, WA, we specialize in brow tattoo techniques like ombre powder brows—a soft, shaded cosmetic tattoo that enhances your natural beauty with zero effort.

Ombre powder brows (also known as powder brows, shaded brows, eyebrow tattooing, or brow shading) are the secret weapon for anyone who wants more definition and symmetry without the daily routine of pencils and gels. Our expert artists customize every shape and color, so you’ll leave looking refreshed, lifted, and naturally flawless.

What Are Ombre Powder Brows?

Ombre powder brows are a form of cosmetic tattoo that creates a misty, filled-in look. Unlike microblading, which uses hair-like strokes, powder brows are applied with a tattoo machine that implants tiny pixels of pigment into the upper layers of your skin. The result? Brows that look soft, structured, and makeup-ready every day.

Powder brows are ideal for a wide range of skin types, including oily, textured, or mature skin. They offer longer retention and a more even fade than microblading—making them a perfect choice for anyone seeking long-term brow bliss.

Clients often refer to this service as:

• Shaded brows

• Semi-permanent brow tattoo

• Machine brows

• Permanent makeup brows

• Natural-looking brow tattoo

Whatever you call them, ombre brows in Vancouver are one of our most-loved treatments.

Does It Hurt?

Not much at all! We use high-quality numbing agents to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the appointment. Most clients report feeling only minor pressure or a light buzzing sensation. Many even find the experience relaxing. Our Vancouver artists are trained to work gently and check in with you often to make sure you feel at ease.

Is There Downtime?

There’s very little downtime involved. Your brows will appear darker for a few days, followed by a bit of light flaking. After 7–10 days, your skin will be healed on the surface, and your pigment will soften into its final color over the following weeks.

You’ll return for a perfecting appointment about 6–8 weeks later to adjust any areas that may need more definition or color balance.

What Is the Pre-Care for Ombre Brows?

Proper prep is the key to great healed results. Before your appointment at DAELA Vancouver:

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment.

• Pause blood thinners like Advil or fish oil a few days prior (if medically approved).

• Stop using exfoliants or retinol near your brows one week before.

• Skip Botox or fillers in the brow area for at least two weeks before treatment.

• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.

What Is the Aftercare for Ombre Powder Brows?

Once your brows are done, it’s time to heal gently and beautifully.

• Leave them untouched for the first 24 hours.

• After 24 hours, begin gently washing once or twice a day with a mild cleanser.

• Pat dry—don’t rub—and skip all exfoliants or facial scrubs.

• Apply healing balm as directed by your artist.

• Avoid heavy workouts, steam, and sun exposure for a few days.

• Say no to brow makeup until fully healed.
