Beauty trends never stay the same for long, they shift and evolve and so do we. 2010’s was dominated by heavy makeup looks and bold eyebrows. These days more people go for softer, natural looking aesthetics. We want enhancement, not disguise. We want to highlight our features, not cover them up.
Modern lives are fast-paced, time is limited and precious. It is only right to want a simple, effortless beauty routine. Natural look is never outdated, it only gets better with time.
This is exactly why a modern brow technique called nanoblending is on the rise.
Nanoblending eyebrows is the perfect, effortless solution to natural looking brows that last. The technique works like magic: pigment is implanted into the skin in a way that mimics softness of natural brows. It is hyper-realistic and customizable, and results last for years.
History and development of eyebrow shaping techniques
Many people still associate eyebrow tattooing with deep pigments and harsh lines. The results often turned blue or green, and lacked natural appeal.
Those days have long gone, the industry has evolved and newer, modern techniques grew to popularity.
First came microblading – a real revolution in beauty. The technique creates fine, hair-like strokes, resulting in realistic brow looks. It’s effortless and long-lasting nature still remains highly requested.
As the industry advances, the need for ultra-natural looks arises. Clients want even softer, more seamless results. As a response to such demands, nanoblading emerged. The technique combines precision with shading, creating softer, ultra-natural looking brows.
So, what’s better: nanoblending or microblading?
It depends on your goals. Both are great options for different preferences. If you want crisp, hair-like strokes, microblading may suit you. If you strive for an ultra-natural, soft look, then nanoblading is a great solution.
What is nanoblending?
So, what is nanoblending, essentially?
Nanoblading is an innovative brow technique. Using a digital machine and an ultra-fine nano needle, pigment is implemented into the upper layers of the skin, creating hyper-realistic hair-strokes and fine shading. It is gentle, precise, and suitable for most skin types, even sensitive one.
Fun fact: the nano needle used is thinner that a human hair!
Here is the difference between microblading and nanoblading, and powder brows in comparison:
| Nanoblading | Microblading | Powder spraying | |
| Tool | Digital machine with an ultra-fine needle | Manual hand tool with tiny blades | Digital machine |
| Technique | Hyper-realistic strokes + soft shading | Crisp hair-like strokes | Soft, shaded effect like brow powder makeup |
| Look & Finish | Ultra-natural, hair-like strokes with subtle shading. Brows look like real, fuller hair. | Natural, but more “structured”. | Shaded gradient, filled-in “makeup” effect. |
| Longevity | 2-3 years, often longer-lasting due to gentler application. | 1-2 years, fades faster on oily skin. | 2-3 years, fades gradually. |
Technology of the procedure
Nanoblading combines innovative tools, modern high-quality pigments and strict safety standards to create ultra-natural, long-lasting brows.
The technique is performed with a high-precision cosmetic tattoo machine. Ultra-thin nano needles create extremely precise, delicate strokes and softest shading.
The pigments are formulated specifically for permanent makeup and designed to fade naturally over time without turning different colors (like blue or green).
Nanoblading pigments are customizable – each pigment is chosen based on client’s skin tone and undertones, hair color and desired style. The goal is for brows to look seamless and natural.
This technique is, overall, gentler and safer on the skin. The digital machine implants pigment without deeply cutting the skin, reducing trauma and improving healing.
This makes it painless and suitable for more skin types, including oily and sensitive. Less scabbing, faster recovery and longer-lasting results.
