Pigments in a microblading chart are classified into two types based on their origin: iron oxides, and synthetic pigments. Stone dust, rust, and other natural metal oxides are used to produce iron oxides. Synthetic pigments are made from plants, animals, as well as other natural sources, as well as synthetic materials.
Each group has benefits and drawbacks, most of which are related to color stability. We’re working with three fundamental colors in the microblading color chart: black, red, and yellow. These pigment hues react variably throughout time based on their origin, i.e., their durability varies. Red is by far the most lasting of the iron oxides, which is why eyebrows done with iron oxides tend to seem solely red after a time. Black is the most permanent synthetic pigment, whereas yellow and red fade more rapidly, leaving the customer with grey brows.
