Understanding color theory and the ingredients in your pigments is one of the most important factors in getting excellent healed results, especially when using a new pigment line. This will allow you to make better decisions when choosing a pigment for your client, and help you predict how your client’s brows will heal over time, so you can communicate this with them to maintain great client relationships.

 

In this blog post, we’re going to walk you through our new pigments, describe each color, explain the ingredients we used, provide tips on how to choose the right color for your clients and show you some healed results from artists in our community. We also have some pro tips for using FADE pigments and a sneak peek into our newest online course!

Let's take a look

FADE Eyebrow Pigment Swatches

 

Tina Davies new FADE Eyebrow Pigment Collection is a hybrid line of pigments that is comprised of mainly inorganic ingredients. These pigments will gently fade into a softer version of the original color within 12-24 months in most applications however, results will vary depending on client and technique.

 

FADE is ideal for artists and clients who want beautiful eyebrows without committing to a lifelong shape or color. This provides clients with the convenience of waking up with beautiful brows and also the flexibility to change their brows over time once the pigment fades.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type Suitability 

A huge factor to keep in mind when choosing the best color for your client is the Fitzpatrick Scale, but don’t worry - we have made this step easy, too!

The Fitzpatrick skin type system, or The Fitzpatrick Scale, is a widely used classification system that is used to describe how different skin types respond to sun exposure. There are six Fitzpatrick skin types, ranging from Fitz 1 (very fair skin that burns easily and never tans) to Fitz 6 (very dark skin that never burns).

On the FADE Color Chart, you’ll see we have model examples for each Fitzpatrick Skin Type, along with a Fitzpatrick Skin Type Suitability Guide to make pigment selection as easy as possible for you. This guide shows you which pigment is suitable for each skin type.

Pro Tips using Fade Pigments by Tina Davies

Here are a few technical tips to help you achieve your best results with FADE.

Dispensing Tips
Place your finger
on the nozzle opening and shake the bottle well before each use, so that the pigments are well mixed by the internal mixing bead. Hold the pigment spout downward, so that the nozzle is facing into your pigment cup, and pump a few times until you achieve your desired amount.

Packing Tips
For faster deposit when performing machine shading, consider using needle configurations such as 3, 5, or 7.

Saturation Tips
Once healed, expect the color to fade out noticeably from the 'immediately after' results. This is different from what you may be used to with organic-based pigments which tend to retain much of their saturation when healed.

Pigment Flow
FADE may seem a bit thicker in consistency than I ❤️ INK, but it remains an ideal consistency for both manual and machine methods.

Needle Positioning
For most techniques, hold your needle upright between 60-90 degrees to the skin in order for the needle to enter directly into the upper dermis.

Colour Choice
Choose a colour that provides the right amount of contrast against your client's skin tone by referring to our Fitzpatrick Skin Type Suitability guide.

Stretch
Maintain a firm 3-point stretch while tattooing in order for the pigment to penetrate the skin effectively.

Technique
Focus on consistent tattooing movements to ensure a smooth and even pigment deposit into the skin.

Layering
Due to the pigment composition, you may need to apply several layers to build up the desired color.

Previous PMU
Previous PMU in the skin will impact the healed results.

Maintenance
For optimal results, refresh your client’s brows with a touch-up once they have faded by at least 50%.
