Elliana

Elliana is an artist at Stranded on East Union Street in Seattle, where she works as Alternative Beauty. Her specialty is ombré powder brows. She blends pigment to match each client's natural hair shade, skin undertone and makeup preferences. Powder brows typically last one to three years, with skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure affecting the timeline, and oily skin tends to fade sooner. Clients generally report little discomfort, since a topical numbing product goes on after the initial outline. Healing takes seven to ten days. Brows look darker and fuller at first, then may peel or flake mildly. A touch-up at six to eight weeks is recommended to fill areas that healed pale and to even out symmetry. Quoted costs usually fall between $500 and $800, depending on the artist's skill level and location. Powder brows are not offered to clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking Accutane. Botox is possible, but it's best booked well before or well after a touch-up rather than right before one. Aftercare for seven to ten days means keeping the area clean and avoiding makeup, swimming, sweating and direct sun.
