Choosing the right pigment for microblading ensures natural, long-lasting results. This guide covers pigment types, undertones, and client matching for professionals in the semi-permanent makeup industry.

How to Choose Pigment for Microblading

Selecting the right pigment is crucial for natural-looking, long-lasting microblading results. Here’s a professional guide to help you make informed choices.

1. Understand Pigment Types

- Organic vs. Inorganic:

- Organic pigments (plant-based) fade faster but are gentler on sensitive skin.

- Inorganic pigments (mineral-based) offer longer-lasting results with better color stability.

- Premixed vs. Custom Blends:

- Premixed pigments save time but may not suit all skin tones.

- Custom blends allow precise color matching for diverse clients.

2. Consider Skin Undertones

- Cool Undertones: Opt for ash-based pigments to avoid unwanted warmth.

- Warm Undertones: Choose golden or neutral pigments for a natural look.

- Neutral Undertones: Most pigments work, but test a small area first.

3. Evaluate Pigment Quality

- FDA/CE Approved: Ensures safety and reliability.

- Particle Size: Finer particles blend better and heal more evenly.

- Fade Resistance: High-quality pigments retain color without turning ashy or orange.

4. Match Pigment to Client’s Natural Brows

- Light Skin: Soft browns, taupes, or cool blondes.

- Medium Skin: Warm browns or neutral shades.

- Dark Skin: Deep chocolates or espresso tones to avoid grayish fading.

5. Test Before Application

- Perform a patch test to check for allergic reactions.

- Observe healed results on similar skin types before finalizing a pigment.

6. Storage & Shelf Life

- Store pigments in a cool, dark place to prevent oxidation.

- Replace expired pigments (typically 12-24 months after opening).

Final Tips

- Always consult pigment manufacturer guidelines.

- Stay updated with industry trends and client preferences.

By following these guidelines, you’ll achieve consistent, beautiful microblading results every time. Trust QM Makeup for High Quality pigments and expert advice.
