Best pick by skin type
Which is right for your Fitzpatrick tone?
-
Fitzpatrick I–II
Nano brows or lip blush with cool base
Translucent skin needs the lightest touch and cool undertones.
-
Fitzpatrick III–IV (Asian)
Nano brows or ombré powder, warm-base pigment
Machine-based techniques heal true; microblading blurs on oily Asian skin.
-
Fitzpatrick V–VI
Ombré powder with orange corrector layer
Powder shading + warm corrector prevents ashy grey heal.
Techniques: nano hair, ombre powder, combo brows
Nano hair strokes — the modern successor to manual microblading. A rotary machine with a single-needle nano cartridge draws hair-like strokes with mechanical depth precision. Heals crisper than manual blade, lasts 18–24 months.
Ombre powder — machine shading that creates a soft filled 'makeup' look. Best for oily and combination skin. Lasts 2–4 years. The most popular embroidery style in Singapore.
Combo brows — hair strokes at the front, powder at the tail. Highest-priced service, most natural look.
