how to choose pigment for microblading | QM Makeup
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.

Eyelash curling
How do I make diy lash perm?
1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads
2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.
3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.
4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes
6. Remove the neutralizer, clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.
7. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!

How do I make brow lamination tint?
1. Clean eyebrows: Use warm water and facial cleansing products to clean eyebrows and surrounding skin, making sure there are no impurities and oils.
2. Shape eyebrows: Use eyebrow scissors to trim the length and shape of eyebrows as needed
3. Apply skin care oil: Apply skin care oil to the skin around eyebrows to prevent dye from getting on the skin and facilitate cleaning.
4. Mix dye: Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.
5. Apply dye: Use a small brush to apply eye brow dye evenly on eyebrows, from the beginning to the end of eyebrows, and pay attention to control the amount to avoid applying it on the skin. Wait for the appropriate time (usually 5-10 minutes) to allow the eyebrow dye to fully color.
6. Wash: Use warm water and paper towels to gently wash the dye off, and be careful not to rub the eyebrows hard.
Follow-up care
1. Avoid water washing: Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after dyeing to ensure that the color lasts.
2. Regularly touch up the color: Depending on the growth rate of the eyebrows and the fading of the color, you can touch up the color every 4-6 weeks.
Pigment Ink
Will the pigments turn red, orange, blue, or purple when deposited into the skin ?
They won't. Because we use high-quality ingredients and focus on color balance, lightfastness, and pigment concentration, our shades only lighten slightly as they heal. They will never change color.
