Microshading Berlin: Perfectly Soft Shaded Eyebrows
Do you dream of waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror, and seeing perfectly defined, full-looking eyebrows – as if freshly made up with powder? In the hustle and bustle of everyday Berlin life, time is precious. Microshading gives you this luxury: A permanently groomed look that appears absolutely natural and saves you the daily task of filling in. At Kosmetikinstitut Expert in Berlin Mitte, Olga Keller realizes this wish with the highest precision and aesthetic sensitivity.
What is Microshading? The "Powder Effect" for Your Brows
Microshading, often also referred to as "Powder Brows" or "Ombré Brows," is a modern permanent makeup technique that differs significantly from classic tattooing. While microblading involves scratching hair strokes, microshading works with an extremely fine needle and a special pigmentation machine.
Using a pointillist "pixel technique," color pigments are gently misted into the top layer of skin. No hard lines or bars are created, but rather a soft shading that becomes lighter toward the middle and gains intensity toward the outside. The result is comparable to eyebrows that have been professionally enhanced with powder or pencil – but smudge-proof, waterproof, and perfect every day.

Who is Microshading Particularly Suitable For?
Microshading is an extremely versatile technique that is often the ideal solution when other methods reach their limits:
- For all skin types: Especially ideal for clients with oily or large-pored skin, where microblading hair strokes would often blur. The shading holds significantly better here.
- For the "makeup look": When you fill in your eyebrows daily and want more density than just fine hair strokes.
- For correction: Excellently suited to cover and correct old, faded permanent makeup (e.g., reddish discolorations).
- For more volume: Perfect for visually filling in sparse brows and giving them more expressiveness.
The Process of Your Treatment
We take time for you. A professional microshading in our Berlin studio follows a clear protocol:
- Consultation & Analysis: We discuss your wishes and analyze your face shape as well as your skin type.
- Perfect Pre-Drawing: With special measuring instruments, the new shape is symmetrically pre-drawn. We correct until you are thrilled.
- Gentle Pigmentation: With a fine needle, the color is gently "pixeled" into the skin. Thanks to local anesthesia, this is virtually painless.
- Care Instructions: You receive everything you need for home care so the color can heal optimally (healing time approx. 7-10 days).

Visual Explanation: Think of the difference between Microblading and Microshading like in art: Microblading is drawing with a fine pencil (clear lines), while Microshading is like working with an airbrush or soft charcoal (soft transitions, volume, and depth). Both are beautiful – the choice depends on your desired style and your skin canvas.

Vegan & Cruelty-free Frequently Asked Questions about Microshading
Microblading is a manual technique where hair strokes are drawn with a blade. Microshading (or Powder Brows) is performed with a machine that places fine dots in the skin. The result with Microshading is a soft shading ("powder effect"), while Microblading imitates natural hair growth.
Yes, absolutely! Microshading is often the better choice for clients with oily or large-pored skin. Since drawn hair strokes (Microblading) can blur faster on oily skin, the shading technique offers longer durability and more defined contours here.
Most clients find Microshading very pleasant and less painful than Microblading. We also use high-quality numbing creams, so you often only feel a light vibration or scratching.
Depending on skin type and metabolism, the result lasts about 1.5 to 2.5 years. A refresh is recommended when the color loses intensity, usually after about 12 to 18 months.
The complete Microshading package (new application) currently costs 350 € on offer. This includes professional consultation as well as a free touch-up within the first weeks.
No. Olga Keller's goal is always naturalness. Through the special pixel technique, no hard bars are created, but rather soft gradients. The brows look like perfectly made up, not tattooed.
Surface healing takes about 7 to 10 days. During this time, a light scab forms that must fall off on its own. The final color result is visible after about 4 weeks.
Yes, this is called "combination brows" or "hybrid brows." Here, hair strokes are drawn at the front (Microblading) and shaded at the back (Microshading). We are happy to advise you on which technique is best for you.
We use high-quality pigments without iron oxides to prevent the brows from turning red or blue. Even, lighter fading over the years is normal and desired so that shape and color can be adapted to the aging process.
