# How to Use a Microblading Machine Like a Pro

Microblading machines are essential for creating natural-looking, semi-permanent eyebrows. However, improper use can lead to uneven strokes, poor pigment retention, or client discomfort. This guide covers machine setup, needle selection, technique, and aftercare to help professionals achieve flawless results.

Choosing the Right Machine & Needles

Machine Selection

Opt for a lightweight, ergonomic microblading machine with adjustable speed settings. Rotary and pen-style machines are popular for their precision and ease of use.

Needle Configuration

- Single needles create fine, hair-like strokes.

- Multi-needle cartridges (e.g., 3-5 pins) work for shading or filling.

- Ensure needles are sterile and single-use to prevent contamination.

Preparing the Skin

Cleansing & Numbing

1. Cleanse the area with an alcohol-free solution.

2. Apply a high-quality numbing cream (20-30 minutes before treatment).

Mapping & Design

- Use a brow pencil to outline the shape.

- Follow natural hair growth patterns for realistic results.

Mastering the Technique

Hand Positioning

- Hold the machine at a 45-degree angle for optimal pigment deposit.

- Use light pressure to avoid over-penetration.

Stroke Technique

- Work in small sections, following the mapped design.

- Feathering strokes should mimic natural brow hairs.

- Avoid going too deep (0.2-0.3mm is ideal).

Aftercare & Touch-Ups

Immediate Aftercare

- Apply a healing ointment to soothe the skin.

- Advise clients to avoid water, sweat, and sun exposure for 7-10 days.

Scheduling Touch-Ups

- Recommend a follow-up session 4-6 weeks later for adjustments.

By following these steps, professionals can enhance their microblading skills and deliver consistent, high-quality results. For High Quality machines and supplies, explore QM Makeup’s professional-grade tools.

Lash Glue
How do I choose the right lifting glue for eyelashes?

The choice of glue for eyelash lifting depends on several factors, including skin type, application habits and personal skills. Here are some tips for you:

Skin type: For sensitive skin, we recommend choosing strong sticky glue.

Habits: If you don't want the glue to leave a waxy residue when applied, we recommend choosing strong sticky glue; if you need a very sticky glue and don't mind a slightly elastic status quo during application, we recommend choosing super sticky glue.

Personal skills: If you are a professional, we recommend using liquid lifting glue, strong sticky glue and super sticky glue are ideal for you. If you are a beginner, we recommend lifting glue balm, non-flowing glue allows you to better control the amount of glue and adjust the lashes, you can click to see the lifting glue balm page for more details.

Tattoo pigment
How long does the ink typically last in the skin?

On average, our pigments last about 1-5 years without fading, depending on the clients individual differences and the depth of the tattoo operation.

Powder Pigment
What is the difference between inorganic and organic permanent makeup ink?

The main difference between organic and inorganic pigments lies in their chemical composition, properties and performance. Here are some key points to distinguish them:

Chemical composition:

Organic tattoo pigment are composed of carbon-based compounds, usually containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements (such as nitrogen, sulfur, etc.). Their molecular structure is complex and usually has organic chemical characteristics.

Inorganic tattoo pigments are mainly composed of inorganic compounds and usually do not contain carbon. Such pigments may contain metal oxides, salts, minerals, etc.

Color saturation:

Organic permanent makeup pigment usually have higher color saturation and brighter colors. Inorganic permanent makeup pigment are generally more stable in color, have strong hiding power, and have low color saturation.

Stability:

Organic cosmetic tattoo pigment have poor stability in light, heat and chemical environments and may fade. Inorganic pigments are generally more stable and resistant to high temperatures and chemical erosion.

Permeability:

Organic pigments are usually composed of organic compounds, which often have good water solubility and can dissolve in water faster. Therefore, organic pigments have stronger permeability than inorganic pigments.

In general, organic and inorganic pigments have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different application scenarios and needs. In order to take into account the brightness, saturation and stability of the ink, most tattoo supplies ink currently use a mixed formula of organic and inorganic.
