"Brows on fleek" would undoubtedly rank among the top five, if not three, obsessions with beauty in the present. That is how important brows are in the modern world. Over the years, brows have seen quite a revolution, going from thin and skinny to bushy and fluffy. One thing is undeniable: filled-in and fuller brows are here to stay, regardless of versions and trends that continue to emerge. Personally, I still have my eyebrow gel on (that adds volume, tint and separates each hair for a bushy look). People frequently choose microblading and nanoblading as an extension of the fuller brow trend.

We meet with Arti, also known as "Brows by Arti" on Instagram, from the talent incubator The White Door India. Malaika Arora, Nargis Fakhri, Shibani Dandekar, and other celebs have fallen for Arti's allure.

What distinguishes microblading from nanoblading?

Microblading is a method for enhancing your natural brows by adding semi-permanent, hair-like strokes. Despite using a similar technique, microblading is not the same as getting a tattoo because it is done on the top layer of skin rather than the second layer, where a tattoo is done.

With the majority of clients, it typically lasts 1-2 years. Additionally, unlike a tattoo machine, microblading is done manually with a handheld pen coupled to a sterile blade made of small needles that are delicately scraped on the skin to resemble hairs. The same technique is used for nanoblading, but because the blade is so much smaller, the strokes are considerably finer and wispier.

When and why do people join up for them, in your opinion?

Saves time: Nanoblading offers you that natural improvement instantaneously and is sweat- and smudge-proof, saving you time from filling in your brows in the morning. Therefore, you won't have to be concerned that your eyebrows will wash off at the beach or pool. Additionally, it maintains your shape so you won't have to worry when you go for your routine threading or waxing treatments about your brows becoming harmed.

It might restore your brows: It can be very traumatic to lose your eyebrows due to medical issues, alopecia, or chemotherapy. You can usually restore your brows to their previous shape using nano blading. You won't be able to distinguish between the genuine hair and the nanoblading because it looks so realistic.

People are afraid of the tattoo look because it doesn't give you the full-on tattoo appearance and won't eventually turn strange colours like red or green. The pigments used in nanoblading are organic, devoid of oxide, and designed to maintain their colour over time. Even if they gradually fade over time, it doesn't become apparent.
