# How to Use a Microblading Eyebrow Pen Like a Pro
Microblading eyebrow pens are a game-changer for semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) artists. They allow for precise, hair-like strokes, mimicking natural brows. Below, we break down key techniques, best practices, and common mistakes to avoid.
Choosing the Right Microblading Pen
- Needle Configuration: Opt for ultra-fine needles (0.18mm–0.25mm) for realistic strokes.
- Pigment Compatibility: Use high-quality, semi-permanent pigments to ensure longevity.
- Ergonomic Design: Select a pen with a comfortable grip to reduce hand fatigue during long sessions.
Pre-Application Prep
- Sanitize the Skin: Cleanse the brow area with an alcohol-based solution to prevent infections.
- Map the Brows: Use a brow pencil to outline the shape before microblading.
- Numb the Area: Apply a topical anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine) for client comfort.
Microblading Technique
- Angle Matters: Hold the pen at a 45-degree angle for optimal pigment deposit.
- Feather Strokes: Create light, upward strokes following natural hair growth.
- Layering: Work in layers—start with a light pass, then deepen strokes as needed.
Post-Application Care
- Apply Healing Ointment: Use a thin layer of aftercare balm to aid recovery.
- Avoid Moisture: Instruct clients to keep brows dry for 24–48 hours.
- Touch-Up Timing: Schedule a follow-up session 4–6 weeks later for adjustments.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overworking the Skin: Excessive strokes can cause scarring or uneven pigment.
- Incorrect Depth: Too shallow = poor retention; too deep = blowouts.
- Skipping Patch Tests: Always test pigments for allergic reactions.
Industry Insights
- Data-Backed Tip: A 2022 study in *Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology* found that proper aftercare increases pigment retention by 30%.
- Trend Alert: Ombré brows (microblading + shading) are rising in demand—consider hybrid techniques.
By mastering these steps, you’ll deliver flawless, natural-looking brows every time. For High Quality tools, explore QM Makeup’s professional microblading pens.

If I apply perming lotion after using glue balm, will it cause the eyelashes to fall off the silicone perm rod?
Our glue balm have two formulas, regular formula and anti-falling formula. If you are used to using plastic wrap or covering strips during lash lifting, you can choose one of them; if you don’t use them during lash lifting, we recommend that you choose the anti-falling formula to ensure that after you use the perming lotion, the liquid in the perming lotion will not dissolve the glue balm, thus achieving the anti-falling effect.

Does the neutralizer contain the ingredient “Sodium Bromate” ?
Yes. The active ingredient of the neutralizer is an oxidant agent, which reconnects the disulfide bonds in the eyelashes that were broken by the perming lotion. Commonly used oxidants are sodium bromate and hydrogen peroxide. Sodium bromate works best at a neutral pH value, and can achieve a firm, elastic styling effect.
