how to choose pigment for microblading | QM Makeup

Guide on choosing microblading pigments. Consider skin type, undertones, desired color, and pigment stability. Tips on sample kits, manufacturer reputation, and safety compliance.

Choosing the right pigment for microblading can be challenging due to the variety of options and the need for long-lasting, natural-looking results. This guide aims to simplify the selection process for semi-permanent makeup professionals, ensuring you achieve the best outcomes for your clients.

Understanding Pigment Types

When selecting pigments for microblading, it's essential to understand the different types available. Pigments can be organic, inorganic, or hybrid. Organic pigments are known for their vibrant colors and are often used for clients with oily skin. Inorganic pigments, made from minerals, tend to be more stable and are ideal for clients with sensitive skin. Hybrid pigments combine the benefits of both, offering versatility and durability.

Factors to Consider

Skin Type and Undertone: The client's skin type and undertone play a crucial role in pigment selection. For clients with warm undertones, pigments with yellow or orange bases work well. Cool undertones benefit from pigments with blue or green bases. Additionally, consider the client's skin type; oily skin may require pigments that are less likely to spread, while dry skin may need more hydrating options.

Desired Color Outcome: Discuss the desired color outcome with your client. Some may prefer a soft, natural look, while others might want a more defined, bold appearance. Pigments can appear different on the skin than in the bottle, so always perform a patch test.

Pigment Longevity and Stability: The longevity and stability of the pigment are vital for client satisfaction. High-quality pigments maintain their color and do not fade unevenly. Look for pigments that are known for their stability and have positive reviews from other professionals.

Practical Tips for Pigment Selection

- Sample Kits: Invest in sample kits to test different pigments on various skin types and undertones. This hands-on approach can help you understand how pigments behave in real-world scenarios.

- Manufacturer Reputation: Choose pigments from reputable manufacturers known for their quality and consistency. Research and read reviews to ensure you're investing in reliable products.

- Regulations and Safety: Ensure the pigments comply with local regulations and safety standards. This not only protects your clients but also safeguards your professional reputation.

 

Conclusion

Selecting the right pigment for microblading is a critical step in achieving beautiful, long-lasting results. By considering the client's skin type, desired color outcome, and pigment stability, you can make informed decisions that enhance your professional practice and client satisfaction.

FAQ
Lash lift kit
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.

Tattoo Repair
How do I choose the right PMU repair product? Any professional tattoo aftercare instructions?

How to choose the best tattoo aftercare product for yourself depends largely on your skin type and main needs for repair. Here are some best tattoo aftercare tips:

Personal skin type:

1. Sensitive skin: It is recommended to choose “Cell repair serum balm”, which is natural, moisturizing and non-irritating. It is the best tattoo balm for microblading aftercare.

2. Scar skin: It is recommended to choose “Ice crystal anti-scar repair serum”, which can quickly promote wound healing and prevent scars. It is the best tattoo aftercare lotion serum.

3. Inflammatory skin: It is recommended to choose “Vitamin A&D ointment gel”, vitamins have anti-inflammatory functions and play an important role in the growth and repair of skin cells. It is the best ointment for tattoo aftercare.

Main needs:

1. Skin repair and regeneration: It is recommended to choose “Ice crystal anti-scar repair serum”, BFGF factor is the most effective choice;

2. Moisturizing protection: It is recommended to choose “Cell repair serum balm”, white vaseline is an excellent choice;

3. Anti-inflammatory repair: It is recommended to choose “Vitamin A&D ointment gel”, vitamins A and D are very excellent ingredients.

It is best to choose and use according to your skin condition and needs.

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.

Blade
Do your microblades contain nickel?

Our flex microblading needle are made of 304 stainless steel, which does contain traces of nickel. The addition of nickel can can enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and increase its toughness and strength, ensuring that the material will perform consistently in a variety of environments. Since the microblades are only implanted through the skin, there is no adverse reaction to the skin under normal circumstances. If you are concerned about this, a patch test can be performed prior to the procedure.
