Microblading is an art form, and for me, the most natural results come from working by hand, not by machine. As a semi-permanent makeup artist, my goal has always been to create brows that enhance your features while still looking effortless and realistic.
In this blog, I want to explain why I choose hand microblading, how it differs from machine techniques, and why my clients trust my hands over automated methods.
Hand microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique where I manually create individual hair-like strokes using a fine blade held in my hand. Each stroke is placed with intention, pressure control, and precision.
Because I’m working directly on the skin—without the vibration or uniform motion of a machine—I can adapt instantly to your:
Skin texture
Brow growth pattern
Facial symmetry
Natural bone structure
This level of control is what allows me to create soft, natural brows that blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
While machine techniques have their place in semi-permanent makeup, I choose hand microblading because it offers a level of artistry that machines simply can’t replicate.
My hand allows me to adjust pressure and depth stroke by stroke. This prevents overworking the skin and helps ensure clean, crisp lines that heal beautifully.
Hand microblading creates strokes that mimic real brow hairs. Machine strokes can appear too uniform, which often leads to a less natural finish.
For suitable skin types, hand microblading produces softer, more realistic results with less trauma to the skin.
Every face is unique. I design each brow individually, responding in real time to the skin—something no machine can do intuitively.
When you come to me for microblading, the process is entirely bespoke.
I take time to:
Map your brows based on your facial structure
Discuss your desired shape and style
Custom-mix pigment to suit your skin tone and hair colour
Create each stroke by hand for maximum realism
Nothing is rushed, and nothing is generic. Your brows are created with care, balance, and intention.
