Contour (permanent) makeup, also known as subcutaneous micropigmentation, involves the introduction of various color pigments into the dermal layer of the skin using specialized equipment and disposable instruments.

Microblading:

The secret of the microblading technique lies in the specialized tool used for the procedure. Unlike conventional tattoo machines, it does not vibrate at all, allowing the artist to draw each hair with maximum precision. Microblading is performed using a special pen with ultra-fine blades at the tip — only 0.18 mm thick. This is where the name originates: micro — small, and blade. How is it done? The artist manually creates very fine lines at various angles that perfectly mimic the appearance of natural hair. 

If you compare eyebrows done with traditional tattooing versus microblading, the difference is colossal! Microblading creates a perfect imitation of natural eyebrows. Over time, it does not change color; it simply fades slightly and loses intensity until it eventually disappears. Most importantly, the procedure leaves no scars on the skin — in fact, it is often used to effectively camouflage existing scars.
