Combination Brows

Combination Brows combine delicate hair-like strokes with soft shading to create realistic and natural-looking brow definition and fullness.

‘Ella was attentive and understood exactly what I wanted. She carefully measured and mapped out my eyebrow, ensuring they were shaped perfectly. The result was amazing - my brows natural, fuller and beautifully defined.

~ Johanna

Combi brow results provide:

  • realistic hair texture

  • added fullness

  • longer-lasting definition.

What are Combination Brows?


Who are Combination Brows for?

Combination brows are ideal for those who want a natural brow appearance with slightly more depth and structure than microblading alone.

If you:

  • Have thin to no brow hair.

  • Want natural-looking brows with added fullness

  • Like the realism of hair strokes but want more definition

  • Have sparse or uneven brows

  • Want a balanced “soft makeup” finish

  • Need more structure in certain areas of the brow

Combi Brows are perfect for you!


Who are Combi Brows not suitable for?

Combination brows may not be suitable if you:

  • Prefer ultra-natural brows with only hair strokes

  • Want a very soft, barely-there finish

  • Have very oily skin (powder brows may retain better)

Before & After Expectations

Immediately after treatment: Brows appear darker and more defined

During healing (7–10 days): Brows soften and lighten as healing progresses

Fully healed (4–6 weeks): A softer, more natural finish remains

A top-up session is recommended to perfect the result.

What Results Can You Expect?

Combination brows create a softly defined enhancement with both realistic texture and subtle shading.

  • Fuller-looking brows

  • Natural hair-like detail

  • Added depth and definition

  • Improved shape and symmetry

  • A polished yet natural finish

The result is designed to heal soft and natural-looking — never blocky, overly dark, or harsh.

Does the Combi Brow procedure hurt?

Most clients describe powder brows as mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing agent is used throughout the treatment to ensure comfort.

How long do Combination Brows last?

Combination brows typically last:

  • 18 months to 3 years

Results vary depending on:

  • skin type

  • lifestyle

  • aftercare

The soft shading element often helps improve longevity compared to microblading alone.

Will my brows look fake?

Combi results are designed to look extremely natural - especially for those with little to no brow hair.


Combi Brows vs Microblading: Which Is Right for You?

Combination Brows

  • Hair strokes + soft shading

  • Fuller, more structured appearance

  • Longer-lasting definition

  • Ideal for clients wanting more fullness

Microblading

  • Hair-like strokes only

  • Very natural finish

  • Softer, lighter definition

  • Best for normal to dry skin


Powder Brows vs Microblading: Which looks more natural?

Microblading typically looks more natural up close because it replicates individual brow hairs. Powder brows can still look soft and natural, but the finish is more like a subtle makeup effect rather than individual hairs.


Powder Brows vs Microblading: Which lasts longer?

Powder brows generally last longer than Microblading, especially on oily skin. Microblading lasts around 12–18 months. Powder brows lasts around 2–3 years


Powder Brows vs Microblading: Which is better for your skin type?

  • Normal to dry skin: Microblading or powder brows can both work

  • Oily or textured skin: Powder brows are usually recommended

  • Mature skin: Powder brows often heal more evenly

The best option depends on your skin type, brow shape, and desired finish — which is why a personalised consultation is always recommended.


Combination Brows vs Microblading: Which should you choose?

Choose combination brows if you want:

  • Natural texture with more depth

  • Fuller-looking brows

  • More definition than microblading alone

  • A balanced soft makeup effect

Choose microblading if you want:

  • The lightest possible enhancement

  • Minimal definition

  • Pure hair-stroke realism

Both powder brows and microblading are semi-permanent brow treatments, but they create very different finishes.

Ella is efficient, passionate and professional about her work and with her clients.”

“For someone who has had Facial Palsy for the last 4 years, I would spend large amounts of my time, especially in the mornings, trying to get both eyebrows to match. Now it’s literally get up and go!!! I had the Combi Brow and Ella explained everything clearly and step by step. She made me feel relaxed and calm as she has a warm personality and is very patient.
She took the time to shape my eyebrows to exactly how I wanted them, by listening and paying attention to detail resulting in getting the perfect result.
Ella is efficient, passionate and professional about her work and with her clients. I will be going back and highly recommend her .. so happy with my eyebrows .. Thanks Ella!!😊”

My brows looked so natural it was incredible.

‘I can truly say I'm amazed by my brows. I had the Combination Brow - microblading and powder. Daniella is a true professional, who is also friendly, relaxed and a perfectionist. I'm someone who for years pencilled on my brows and never felt confident about the way I looked. Ella has changed all that. I highly recommend Ella. You won't be disappointed ❣️🙏’
