With Shae, The Brow Blueprint Babe
Ombre & Powder Brows
A semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that builds a soft, powdered brow. The finish reads like a brow filled in with makeup, except it is there when you wake up, after the gym, and at the end of a long day.

Powder brows versus microblading
Microblading cuts individual hair-like strokes into the skin. Powder brows use tiny dots of pigment to build a soft gradient, denser at the tail and lighter at the front, the way a well-blended brow pencil looks.
The powdered technique tends to suit more skin types, including oilier skin where crisp microbladed strokes can blur over time.
The technique is microshading, which places tiny dots of pigment to build a soft gradient rather than cutting hair-like strokes the way microblading does.
Pricing and timing
Every set is mapped and shaped before any pigment goes in, which is why the appointment runs long. Budget the full block of time.
- Ombre / Powder Brows — $250 and up, about 3 hours 35 minutes
- Brow touch-up at 4 to 6 weeks — pricing varies, about 2 hours
- Booked through Shae's own calendar
Mapping comes first
Every set starts with mapping. Shae measures and marks the shape against your features and your natural brow before any pigment goes in, and you approve the shape before the work starts. The shape decision is the one you live with, so it gets the time it deserves.
What to expect while healing
Brows look darker and more defined for the first several days, then soften as the skin heals. Light flaking is normal and should not be picked. You will get full aftercare instructions at your appointment, and a perfecting session is typically scheduled once healing is complete.
Booking with Shae
Shae books through her own calendar, so you pick a time that works with her schedule directly. Pricing and session length are listed at booking.
Common questions
Does any of this actually hurt?
Honestly, way less than you'd expect. We use a strong topical numbing cream before every lip service and most clients describe it as more of a weird pressure than real pain - somewhere between a cat scratch and a light sting. Spray tans are completely painless. Mini tattoos pinch a bit but are quick.
What should I do before my appointment?
We'll send you specific prep instructions the moment you book. General rules: skip caffeine the morning of lip services, no alcohol 24 hours before, and don't squeeze in a workout or sauna right beforehand. For spray tans, shave and exfoliate the day before - not same-day.
Are you taking new clients right now?
Yes - but we book up fast. The schedule typically opens a few weeks at a time. Follow @lavish_lipsxoxo on Instagram for booking drops and behind-the-scenes work. If you can't find a slot that works, DM us - we keep a cancellation list.
