Gray eyebrows in permanent makeup: does it have to come to them

And that topic came up. Today we talk about the main fears of every permanent makeup artist. Before you continue reading, think for a moment about what worries you and what difficulties you encounter in your work. Have you ever had an unhappy customer? Have you ever been disappointed with the results? I know, I'm asking tough and unpleasant questions, but that's okay. We've all been there once. That's why I can guess what you remembered.

Gray eyebrows

Eyebrows that become cold in color over time, acquire gray or blue shades are not desirable in any case. On the contrary, it is one of the most common reasons for artists, as well as clients, to become extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the results they see. There is no such technique in work and moves that can prevent this. You can be an exceptional permanent eyebrow artist and still get these results and lose clients. The problem is the pigments.

Red eyebrows

If it doesn't go gray, the color must eventually go red, right? Red eyebrows are just as undesirable and unnatural as gray ones. One of these two outcomes is often inevitable and the only question is which one you will choose, which one is less hateful to you and your clients. And it's not like that. There is also a third option – that neither outcome nor the other results, that the eyebrows retain the desired color even after a year. I understand if you are distrustful, past experience has confirmed the opposite.

Tattoo effect

Although it is called permanent makeup, it is important that it does not last too long. Any pigment that remains in the skin for more than a year and a half to two years will require laser removal. I'm sure you don't want that for your clients. You want clients who will regularly return for refreshers, every year to a year and a half, satisfied with the results and with confidence in your work. You won't achieve that if you cause a tattoo effect on them. That is why it is important to pay attention to the composition of the pigments you choose. Too many ingredients that go into tattoo pigments means only one thing - the eyebrows you're working on will turn into a tattoo themselves.
By changing the pigment, you also change the fate of your works.

With a careful and smart choice, you will get pigments that fade naturally. What you want are pigments that would fade from the skin within a year and a half to two years if they are not refreshed. If it is done well, permanent makeup has a lifetime, if not, then we are talking about tattoos. And that's not what clients come to you for.


The field of permanent makeup, like any other, has its problems and weak points. How many times have you come across a pigment brand that promises long-lasting color, and soon after application you find gray eyebrows on your clients? It's usually like that. With awareness of the problems that most often trouble permanent makeup artists, we developed the R line of pigments , a composition carefully designed so that the mentioned difficulties never occur. Over the years, we have painstakingly and thoroughly perfected the balance of ingredients so that grey, red eyebrows and the tattoo effect become a thing of the past forever.
