How I Customize Every Shade
Creating beautiful, natural-looking brows isn’t just about technique — it’s about understanding the science behind color. As a permanent makeup artist with over 15 years of experience, I’ve learned that color theory is the foundation of every great result.
At Third Eye Beauty Lounge here in Tempe, I customize every set of ombré powder brows based on your individual undertone, complexion, and natural brow color. This ensures your brows heal into soft, balanced shades that complement you — not one standard tone that fits everyone.
What Color Theory Means in Ombré Powder Brows
When I talk about color theory, I’m referring to how pigments interact with the skin after healing. Unlike surface makeup, permanent makeup pigments live under the skin — meaning they’re influenced by your undertone, melanin, and how your body heals.
Because of this, I study your natural undertones carefully before selecting any pigment.
This process allows me to predict how the color will fade and ensures that your brows heal beautifully — never too red, gray, or ashy.
Understanding Undertones: The Secret to Natural Brows
Your undertone is the subtle color beneath your skin that determines how pigment appears once healed.
There are three main types:
-
Warm undertones – golden, peach, or yellow hues
-
Cool undertones – pink, red, or bluish hues
-
Neutral undertones – a mix of warm and cool
When I design your brows, I use color theory to balance these undertones. For example, if a client has very cool skin, I’ll warm the pigment slightly so the healed brows look natural instead of gray.
This balance is what keeps my clients’ brows looking soft, true to tone, and healthy-healed.
How I Customize Every Brow Shade
Every new client starts with a detailed consultation and brow mapping session. During that time, I:
-
Assess your natural hair color, eye tone, and skin undertone.
-
Choose pigments from professional, stable color lines designed for long-term retention.
-
Mix shades to create your perfect match — not too warm, not too cool.
-
Test the pigment swatch directly on your skin before starting.
Once the color is set, I use my signature ombré shading technique — soft and airy at the front, gradually deepening toward the tail — to create that effortless, powder-finish look.
Color Correction: Restoring Balance Before New Brows
If you’ve had old permanent makeup done elsewhere, I may need to correct the existing pigment before creating new ombré powder brows.
Old pigments often fade into orange, gray, or blue tones — that’s where my understanding of color correction comes in.
By layering corrective pigments, I neutralize those unwanted tones before applying your new brow shade. This ensures that your final healed color is even, balanced, and true to tone.
Why Color Theory Matters So Much
Many people think brow pigments are simply “brown,” but every pigment has an undertone — red, yellow, green, or blue. Without understanding how those undertones heal, the results can shift over time.
By applying true color theory to every set of brows, I create results that heal naturally, fade evenly, and age beautifully. This is why so many clients across Tempe and the East Valley trust me with their ombré powder brows — because they want brows that look natural, not tattooed.
