[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]One of the most common questions I get from artists learning Hyperrealism brows is: Which needle should I use for oily skin or mature skin? These two skin types can be some of the most challenging to work on, and choosing the wrong needle can affect your healed results.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s break it down so you can feel confident about your choice.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-18px||4px|||” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Working on Oily Skin<\/strong><\/p>\n Oily skin is usually easy to spot: larger visible pores, occasional blemishes, and that noticeable sheen. The challenge is that oily skin can be resistant to pigment\u2014it doesn\u2019t hold it as easily, which means you need to get good saturation without overworking the skin.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what I recommend:<\/p>\n The main goal with oily skin is to work efficiently\u2014get the pigment in quickly without going over the same area too much.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||8px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Working on Mature Skin<\/strong><\/p>\n I generally class mature skin as ages 55\u201360 and above, but the real deciding factor is how the skin behaves. Some clients in their 60s will still have healthy, durable skin, while others may have thin, delicate skin that requires extra care.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re working on thin, sagging skin with deeper lines or ridges, you want to keep trauma to an absolute minimum.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what works best:<\/p>\n The aim here is to create beautiful, natural hairstrokes while protecting the skin\u2019s integrity.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||17px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-12px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]My Personal Preferences<\/strong><\/p>\n Across all skin types, I stick to one round liners. I adjust the diameter based on skin type and desired stroke thickness, and I almost always use a long taper. My needle choice between Quadron and Vertex depends on whether I\u2019m doing shaded or crisp strokes.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve created a simple reference table for skin type and needle choice, which you can find in the lesson resources. It\u2019s straightforward because this decision doesn\u2019t need to be overcomplicated.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-20px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you still feel unsure about executing hairstroke techniques on different skin types, you might benefit from more structured guidance. In my PMU training courses<\/strong>, we cover these details step-by-step, with live demonstrations and feedback so you can see exactly how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n
