Brows fading into strange shades of blue, gray, orange, red, or even green can be alarming, but don’t worry—this doesn’t mean you have bad brows. It simply means they need a microblading color correction or a tattoo color correction to restore them to their ideal shade.
Over time, semi-permanent brow pigments can shift due to skin chemistry, sun exposure, and pigment composition. If your brows have changed color, a skilled artist can correct them with expert techniques tailored to neutralize unwanted tones and restore a beautiful, natural look.
Let’s dive into why brows fade into different colors, what causes these shifts, and how BrowBeat Studio Dallas Advanced Microblading Experts can fix them with professional microblading color correction services.
Why Do Microbladed Brows Change Color?
Several factors contribute to color changes in microbladed and tattooed brows:
- Pigment Composition
Microblading pigments are made up of multiple colors that create the desired shade. As they fade, certain components break down faster than others, leaving behind residual hues like blue, gray, or red. - Skin Undertones
Your skin’s undertone plays a huge role in how pigment heals. Warm undertones can pull pigments toward orange or red, while cool undertones may cause them to fade blue or gray. - Sun Exposure
UV rays break down pigments, often causing them to fade into unnatural colors. This is especially common in those who don’t apply sunscreen to their brows. - Ink or Pigment Quality
Low-quality pigments and inks are more prone to discoloration, breaking down into undesirable shades faster than high-quality, stable pigments. - Healing & Skin Regeneration
As your skin regenerates, the pigment may settle unevenly or get pushed out, affecting its final color. Some people’s skin retains warm tones, while others hold onto cool hues.
Understanding Faded Brow Colors & How to Fix Them
Not all color shifts are the same. Each shade requires a different approach to tattoo color correction to achieve the perfect, natural-looking result.
1. Blue or Gray Brows
Why It Happens:
- Too much cool pigment was used.
- The client has cool skin undertones.
- Over time, black or dark brown pigment breaks down, leaving behind blue or gray hues.
How to Fix It:
- A warm color corrector like orange or peach is applied to neutralize the blue or gray.
- Once neutralized, the artist can add a fresh layer of brown pigment for a natural look.
2. Orange or Red Brows
Why It Happens:
- The artist used a warm-based pigment that faded unevenly.
- Clients with warm skin tones can pull more red from the pigment.
- Sun exposure can make brows turn reddish over time.
How to Fix It:
- A green or olive-toned corrector is used to counteract the red or orange.
- A new layer of cool-toned brown is added to rebalance the color.
3. Green Brows
Why It Happens:
The pigment had an incorrect balance of warm and cool tones.
An old tattoo with low-quality ink faded into green over time.
How to Fix It:
- A red or warm orange corrector is used to cancel out the green.
- Once neutralized, a fresh brown pigment is applied for a natural finish.
What Is Microblading Color Correction?
Microblading color correction is a specialized technique that involves:
Neutralizing Unwanted Tones – Using color theory, an artist applies pigments that counteract discoloration.
Adding a Fresh Layer of Pigment – Once neutralized, a new shade is applied to achieve the desired brow color.
Blending for a Natural Look – The correction is carefully blended to ensure an even, soft appearance.
How Many Sessions Does Color Correction Take?
Tattoo color correction typically requires one to three sessions depending on the severity of the discoloration.
- Mild cases (slight fading or minor discoloration): 1 session
- Moderate cases (significant color change but not overly saturated): 2 sessions
- Severe cases (very dark or multiple color layers needing correction): 3 sessions
The artist will assess your brows and develop a customized correction plan based on your unique situation.
Who Needs Microblading Color Correction?
You might need microblading color correction if:
- Your brows have turned blue, gray, orange, red, or green.
- Your brows have faded unevenly and appear patchy.
- You had an old brow tattoo that has discolored over time.
- Your brows were previously microbladed with the wrong pigment for your skin tone.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time for a professional correction!
Can You Just Microblade Over Discolored Brows?
No! If pigment discoloration isn’t corrected first, applying new microblading strokes or shading over it will only result in muddy, unnatural results. Proper color correction is essential before redoing your brows.
