How to Use a Microblading Eyebrow Pen: A Professional's Guide
This article guides semi-permanent makeup professionals on mastering the art of microblading eyebrow pens. We'll cover essential techniques to achieve natural-looking, flawless results and address common challenges encountered when using these tools for eyebrow microblading.
Preparing for Application
Before beginning your microblading application, ensure your client's skin is clean and dry. Proper skin preparation is crucial for optimal pigment adhesion and minimizes the risk of irritation. Use a gentle cleanser and toner, avoiding harsh chemicals that could compromise the skin's barrier. Lightly exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells, enhancing pigment absorption. Apply a topical anesthetic as needed, following manufacturer guidelines. This will significantly increase client comfort during the procedure.
Choosing the Right Pen and Pigment
Selecting the appropriate microblading eyebrow pen is paramount. Consider factors like needle configuration, grip, and ease of control. Different pen designs cater to various techniques and levels of expertise. Ensure the chosen pigment complements your client's hair color and skin tone. High-quality pigments are vital for achieving long-lasting, vibrant results with minimal fading.
Mastering the Microblading Technique
Hold the pen at a comfortable angle (generally 45 degrees) and use light, feathery strokes to mimic natural eyebrow hairs. Avoid applying too much pressure, as this can lead to uneven lines and skin trauma. Focus on creating short, delicate strokes, gradually building the brow shape. Use a mapping technique beforehand to design the ideal brow shape. Regularly wipe the pen to maintain a clean application and prevent pigment buildup.
Aftercare Instructions
Provide your client with comprehensive aftercare instructions. This includes avoiding excessive water exposure, harsh scrubbing, and sun exposure in the immediate post-procedure period. Recommend a gentle cleanser and any necessary aftercare products to support healing and maintain the results of your microblading.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Uneven strokes, blotchy pigment application, or fading are common challenges. Practice on artificial skin to hone your technique and gain confidence. Proper sterilization is crucial to prevent infection. If you encounter difficulties, review your technique, check pigment quality and consider attending a refresher course.

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.
Lash Glue
What is the difference between strong sticky glue and super sticky glue?
Both strong sticky glue and super sticky glue can be used in eyelash perming programs and are highly adhesive and easy to wash and clean with water. The strong sticky glue is made with a pharmaceutical formula that is gentle, non-irritating, and anti-allergenic, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or eyes, and is lightweight, leaving no waxy residue when applied. The super sticky glue is more suitable for professional lash artists, the glue is very strong sticky, the texture is thicker (there will be a slight elastic phenomenon), the operator can more easily fix the lashes in the silicone perm rod, reduce the operation time, work more efficiently.
Micro 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.
