Eyebrow Embroidery, the Latest Craze

If you haven't been living under a rock, by now you are sure to have heard about the new trends in semi-permanent makeup which are sweeping across the world and making waves on the catwalks, beauty magazines and celebrity circles. The trend for eyebrow embroidery has arrived and it has arrived big and there are no signs of the trend disappearing in the near future. If anything, it has only been growing in popularity.

The trend has been catching like wildfire across the world, from the fashion capitals of Paris, London, and New York to Asian fashion capitals such as Singapore, Bombay and Tokyo. Dubai, not to be outdone when it comes to anything trendy and cosmopolitan, has also latched on to eyebrow embroidery and semi permanent makeup in a big way.

One of the leading semi permanent makeup artists who operate in Dubai is Michele Soudi of  Eyebrows Dubai. Having been in the beauty industry for over 30 years, with experience in both England and Dubai and having catered to many leading celebrity clients, Soudi knows what she is doing. She is definitely a name which should be considered if one is contemplating getting semi permanent makeup in Dubai.

If you are interested in getting eyebrow embroidery or any other form of semi permanent makeup for that matter, you have to have a clear idea of the procedure involved so that you know what you are in for, and don't have unrealistic expectations. Although there may be slight changes in the procedure and steps required from place to place, it generally is a variation of the following. So, here goes.

The first thing that is done, after the initial discussion about what you want, of course, is the application of numbing cream on the brows. This is done first so that the cream has time to take effect. After about 30 minutes, when the cream has taken effect, it's wiped off so that the eyebrow technician can start work, drawing the brows.

This is one of the most important steps in semi permanent makeup. First, any stray hair is removed and then the drawing of the new brow starts. The shape of the face, the complexion, the shape of the eyes and how close or far apart they are set in the face, the state of the current brows - whether they are already thick and luscious or with scanty hair with patches in between, how defined or subtle the client wants her brows done, how dark and in what colour - black, dark brown, brown etc., they would want the brows are some of the important points to consider.

Most important is the shape of the brows. Some clients may prefer a perfect arch while some may prefer a more subtle straight brow. However, it goes without saying that the final result should look natural and complement the face without standing out from the rest of the features and looking artificial.

Then starts the actual embroidery process after the client has had a look at the drawn brows, any alterations done and after they have given the final approval for the design. New blades are used for every client by Eyebrows Dubai which follows the most stringent standards when it comes to hygiene in the application of semi-permanent makeup. The colours are also blended to get the exact shade which suits the client so that the new brows are not too dark or too light. Final checks are done to see if the colour is uniform, whether both brows are balanced, etc. The procedure could take about one and a half hours.

The skin would be reddish for a few days, but this is quite natural and a soothing cream several times a day should minimise the discomfort. The brows should be allowed to heal and care should be taken to clean the face without water touching the brows for at least a week, to keep the colour intact .

A touch-up is on the cards about a month later to correct any mistakes which may have occurred in the initial treatment, add colour to places which may have been missed and to make slight changes to the shape of the brows if a client wishes so.


What is important is to go to a qualified and experienced semi permanent makeup artiste to get your eyebrow embroidery done so that there is no room for regrets. In the UAE, who better than Michele Soudi and Eyebrows Dubai?
