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.

Currently, the more popular thicknesses are 0.16mm and 0.18mm; the popular sizes are 16U, 18U, and 18P. How to choose a microblading brow tools that suits you can refer to the advice on choosing a best microblading blade to use, which depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the degree of detail required, and personal tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:
Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoo: Finer lines and details can usually be achieved with finer needles (such as 0.16mm or 0.18mm).
Filling and shading: Slightly thicker needles (such as 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required to achieve better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Personal tattooing technique: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize the operation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more diverse effects.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skin will also affect the choice of needles. Thicker skin may require slightly thicker needles to ensure color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair Condition: The thickness of your client’s natural hair is also an important factor in choosing needle thickness. Thicker hair requires slightly thicker needles to ensure lines are consistent with the natural hair.
