What are the different techniques or styles of semi permanent make up?
Here at BriskNPosh your skilled estheticians will analyze your brows and suggest which technique is the best for you. However, there are multiple techniques or styles such as Microblading, Shading, Ombre Powder or Combination. For microblading the technician will do “hair like” strokes, so it can appear as actual hair in your brows looking very natural. Shading/ombre is a more makeup technique that’ll almost look like when you fill in your brows yourself but with a more natural touch. And combination is the two techniques combined to give the best of both worlds. Book a consultation today to decide which is best for you!

Your lips will be swollen, tender and have a heavy thick lipstick look. The color will appear darker for the first few days than what it would look like after it has healed.
