Ombre Shading
Ombre Shading is a semi-permanent brow technique that creates a soft gradient effect, starting lighter at the front of the brows and gradually darkening toward the tail. This method mimics the look of filled-in makeup while maintaining a natural, powdery finish. The result is long-lasting, smudge-proof brows that are defined yet beautifully subtle.
