Machine Brows

Our Machine Brows course comprises both theory and practical elements of machine SPMU eyebrow techniques. The course has been structured from start to finish with you in mind. We ensure that our students complete training with the specialist skills that will help them feel confident to perform different types of Machine Brows procedures throughout their careers.

In addition, the course covers the anatomy and physiology of the skin, as well as equipping you with an in-depth knowledge of colour theory and colour correction. This extensive knowledge allows you to become an advanced practitioner in your field.

You will gain practical experience both in the classroom and working on a live model when producing a powder brow treatment by combining several skills and techniques learnt. Check out our other semi-permanent make-up courses.

Ombre Brows 

Ombre brows are very similar to powder brows. However, they use a more pixelated tattooing technique to create a softer effect on the brow. The graduation of colour used in the ombre brow can be created through several methods, including pigment dilution and technique variation, which are all covered in the ombre brows course.

Hybrid Brows

Hybrid brows combine both hair strokes and powder brow methods. However, this is a more defined brow than that of the combination brows, as the hair strokes only sit at the front of the brow. The hair strokes then seamlessly blend into a powder brow effect.

Powder Brows

Powder brows simulate that of a brow that has been created through the use of makeup. This is created using several tattooing techniques and a variety of needle configurations.

Hairstroke Brows

Hairstroke brows use a fine needle to create the impression of natural hair strokes. These seamlessly blend into any existing hairs to add additional definition, thickness, or length. Students will learn about hair formations and how to adapt the design of the hair strokes to suit their clients best.

Combination Brows

Combination Brows combine both hair strokes and powder methods to create a defined natural brow. The hair strokes create a natural effect which seamlessly blends into any existing hair to add more definition, thickness, or length.

The powder brow element adds more definition, making it the perfect treatment for those with minimal or no natural brows, as it allows the technician to add a 3D effect to the brow. The brows are created using several tattooing techniques and a range of needles.
