Powder brows or microblading: which one suits you?
Drawing your brows every morning? There is a better way. Here is how to choose between powder brows and microblading.
Published on July 2, 2026

Your brows frame your entire face. When they look right you barely need any makeup. That is why permanent makeup (PMU) is one of the most popular treatments at Anima Beauty in Amsterdam West.
What are powder brows?
With powder brows we apply pigment in a soft powdery finish. The result looks like brows gently filled in with powder or shadow. Perfect if you love a groomed, slightly made-up look. Powder brows work well on every skin type, including oily or sensitive skin.
And microblading?
Microblading uses hair-thin strokes that mimic your natural brow hairs. The result is very natural. Especially beautiful if you have thin or light brows and want nobody to notice anything was done. On dry to normal skin microblading stays beautiful the longest.
How to choose
- Want a soft made-up look that lasts? Go for powder brows.
- Want a result nobody can tell apart from real hairs? Go for microblading.
- Not sure, or do you have old PMU that needs correcting? Come by for advice. We also correct old PMU.
How it works
We always start with brow mapping: we measure your face and pre-draw the shape. You watch and decide. Only when you are happy with the shape do we start. After six to eight weeks you return for a touch-up that perfects the result.
