Brown eyebrows in permanent makeup: correcting unwanted shade

Hi everyone, you are reading the iColor PMU blog. Often people are dissatisfied with the condition and color of their eyebrows. If this is an issue for you, read our article.

As soon as there are new trends in the tattoo industry - we share them with you all over social media.

In this article, we will tell you how to work with correctors: to correct a shade you don't like and make sure it doesn't reappear over time.

Pigments correctors are needed to cover and correct the color of an unsuitable tattoo, to carry out the procedure of correction or refreshment.

In a refreshing procedure, the shape of the eyebrows may suit the client. Correctors are used to make the residual pigment warmer.

We also add correctors to the pigments - this way we can achieve the right shade and get into a shade of brown that will match the client's skin temperature and tone.

There are two eyebrow correctors in the iColor palette: MUSTARD and BRONZA. They are used more often as clients come in with cold residue in their skin. We use these correctors on treatments every day.

The correctors you will use daily are MUSTARD and BRONZA.

BRONZA is a dense copper-colored pigment that allows you to cover even difficult areas of skin.

During the procedure, you should be aware that the orange tint will come out of the skin and your eyebrows will remain the same or become more saturated. We recommend first removing the pigment to a more transparent residue in the skin and only then can they be recolored.

Add BRONZA to the pigments to make the mix warmer. We also do this when working with olive, blue, purple and yellow skin. Don't forget that when working with yellow based pigment and yellow tinted skin, you will also need to warm up the mix.
The cooler the skin tone, the more BRONZA we add to the pigment.

If we work with the most difficult skin tone - violet, BRONZA should be added in the proportion of 1:1 to the selected pigment according to the type of appearance of the person. If we work with blue-toned skin, we can add 20-40% BRONZA to the mix. If we work with olive-toned skin, it is enough to add 10-20% BRONZA to prolong the warm brown tone in the skin.

Let's pay attention to the olive tone - it is also difficult to work with. To achieve a warm brown shade, we need to add BRONZA. If we add MUSTARD, we will get a blue shade when mixing and the result of healing will be just gray.

The corrector completely covers gray, gray with metallic and blue, green eyebrows.

If just starting out in the profession, work in a simple algorithm when overlapping, use the corrector in its purest form, and let the skin rest and heal.

Afterwards think - use pigment, pigment + corrector or don't touch your eyebrows at all. Often after using a clear corrector, eyebrows look good and do not require other procedures.

We advise you to approach the issue of overlapping poor-quality permanents delicately.

We use a MUSTARD corrector on the eyebrows, although some masters use it to neutralize the purple tone on the lips. But I recommend using our PEACH corrector for these cases.

MUSTARD is used to cover gray residue on the eyebrows. Great for girls with blonde hair, skin, eyes and brow hairs. You can create a neutral brown shade that will cover everything.

For this type of appearance BRONZA corrector will be too bright, dense and saturated. But there are situations when women with blonde hair have old pigment that looks dense. MUSTARD as more watercolor and less dense - does not always cope with overlapping the denser residues in the skin. Here I recommend using a mix of MUSTARD and BRONZA 2/1. There should be more MUSTARD corrector in the mix - BRONZA eats yellow and MUSTARD is almost invisible.
