  1. AFreckle tattooing
  2. BLip blushing
  3. CEyeliner tattoo
  4. DMicroblading
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Microblading

Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates hair-like strokes to fill in sparse eyebrows, providing a natural and defined look without daily makeup, making it ideal for the client's request.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Freckle tattooing creates artificial freckles, not for eyebrow definition.
  • B. Lip blushing enhances lip color and shape, not related to eyebrows.
  • C. Eyeliner tattoo enhances the eyes, not the eyebrows.

Microblading

A semi-permanent tattooing technique used to create the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows by depositing pigment into the skin in hair-like strokes.

  • Manual hand tool used, not a machine
  • Pigment implanted into superficial layers of the skin
  • Lasts 1-3 years depending on skin type and aftercare

Memory trick: Brows Blessed by Blade, Lips Lavished by Light.
