Powder Brows with the iLLUMAPRO 7L PMU Cartridge Needle

Want to achieve flawless, powder-soft brows from the comfort of your own home? With the right tools, materials, and care, you can create natural, long-lasting powder brows that perfectly match your hair color. This step-by-step how-to guide will walk you through the process of creating DIY powder brows using the iLLUMAPRO 7L PMU Cartridge, permanent makeup pigment, and a steady hand.

Before you begin, make sure you follow all safety precautions to ensure a smooth and hygienic procedure.

Materials You’ll Need

  • iLLUMAPRO 7L PMU Cartridge Needle Tip
  • Permanent Makeup (PMU) Pigment (matched to your hair color)
  • Numbing Cream
  • Medical-grade gloves
  • Cotton swabs and pads
  • Rubbing alcohol (70% or higher)
  • A disposable ruler or brow mapping tool
  • A handheld mirror or vanity mirror with good lighting
  • Skin-safe pencil for mapping brows
  • Vaseline or a healing ointment

Safety First

  • Verify Your Tools: Before opening, ensure the blister pack for the iLLUMAPRO 7L cartridge is sealed. Never use a cartridge if the seal is broken.
  • Sterilize Workspace and Tools: Clean your work surface with rubbing alcohol. Make sure your hands are clean, wear sterile gloves, and disinfect all tools before beginning.
  • Prepare Your Skin: Make sure your brow area is clean, free of makeup, and dry. Avoid this procedure if you have skin irritation, active acne, cuts, or infections near your brows.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prep and Numb the Area

  1. Apply a thin layer of numbing cream to your brows and surrounding skin. This will minimize discomfort during the procedure.
  2. Wait for the recommended amount of time (usually 20-30 minutes) as per the instructions on the numbing cream.
  3. Gently remove the cream with a cotton pad and thoroughly clean the area again with rubbing alcohol to ensure the skin is sanitized.

Step 2: Map Your Brows

  1. Use the brow mapping tool or disposable ruler to outline the shape you want for your brows.
  2. Start with the arch, then define the start and end points of the brow. Keep the shape natural and symmetrical.
  3. Use a skin-safe pencil to trace the outline of your brows as a guide.

Step 3: Prepare Your Equipment

  1. Open the blister pack for the iLLUMAPRO 7L PMU Cartridge and securely attach it to your PMU device (if not already set up). Verify that the cartridge fits properly to avoid movement during the procedure.
  2. Shake the PMU pigment bottle to ensure even consistency and pour a small amount into a disposable pigment ring or cap.
  3. Place everything you need within easy reach to maintain a clean workflow.

Step 4: Begin Shading

  1. Turn on your PMU device and set it to a low-speed setting to avoid over-pigmenting your skin.
  2. Lightly dip the iLLUMAPRO 7L cartridge needle into the pigment. Gently tap the needle on a clean surface to remove excess pigment.
  3. Begin shading inside the mapped brow area. Use light, circular motions to evenly distribute pigment, starting from the tail of the brow and working toward the inner corner.
  4. Blend carefully to achieve a powdery finish. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can cause uneven pigmentation or skin irritation.
  5. Take short breaks as needed to assess your progress and reload pigment.

Step 5: Check Symmetry

  1. Use the mirror to check the symmetry of both brows. Adjust or add more pigment to refine the shape as needed.
  2. Don't stress about perfection; powder brows are meant to look soft and natural.

Step 6: Clean and Protect

  1. Once you're satisfied with your brows, clean the area gently with a cotton pad and rubbing alcohol to remove excess pigment.
  2. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline or healing ointment to protect the area and promote healing.

Step 7: Aftercare Instructions

  1. Avoid touching your brows with bare hands during the healing process to prevent infection.
  2. Keep the area clean and dry for at least 7 days. Avoid makeup, excessive sweating, and soaking the brows in water.
  3. Apply a healing ointment daily or as directed.
  4. Expect some mild scabbing and slight itching during healing, which is normal. Do not pick at the scabs, as this can affect the final result.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Always use a pigment that complements your natural hair color for the most natural look.
  • Practice the shading motion on paper or an artificial skin pad if you're new to PMU tools.
  • Ensure your workspace is brightly lit and set up a mirror at eye level to maintain control and precision.

Now that you’ve mastered the basics of DIY powder brows, you’re ready to flaunt your flawless, professional-grade brows! With the iLLUMAPRO 7L PMU Cartridge and the right pigment, achieving salon-quality results at home has never been easier.
