For a thick lash appearance 24/7: Semi-permanent make-up treatment

Ever considered microblading your lash line? Brau, one of Dubai’s premier microblading salon, offers an underrated semi-permanent make-up treatment for the lash line that delivers game-changing results. After a numbing cream is applied around your eye, tiny droplets of pigment are applied to your lash line to enhance its shape and give the appearance of darker and fuller lashes 24/7. There is quite some downtime – expect temporary mild swelling and proper aftercare of not applying eye makeup for 10 days is a must to prevent infections.
