Are Men Self-Conscious About Missing Brow Hairs?

The answer: absolutely.

Eyebrows frame the face, shape the eyes, and instantly affect how youthful and rested you look. When they’re sparse, gray, or missing altogether, it’s impossible not to notice. That’s why more men are turning to facial cosmetic procedures—especially permanent makeup—to restore definition around the eyes in a way that looks natural, subtle, and undetectable.

About Me

I’m a Permanent Makeup Artist based in San Ramon, California, and have been practicing since 2010. I’m also the inventor of Brow Happy, a cosmetic applicator and guide designed to help clients achieve eyebrow symmetry and precision.

What is Permanent Makeup? PMU

Permanent Makeup (also known as microblading, nano blading, cosmetic tattooing) is a precise and subtle tattoo technique applied to the brow area, eyes, or lips to restore natural color and definition.

  • If you don’t have brows, PMU can create the illusion of realistic brow hairs.

  • If your brows are thinning or graying, it can restore fullness and depth.

  • Trained artists work with shape, color, and placement to customize the most flattering result.

From Women-Only to Men Too

When I first opened my studio, 100% of my clients were women. Occasionally, a man would call inquiring about brows. Back then, I would steer them toward topical solutions—brow pencils, powders, markers, or pomades. These products wash off nightly, require daily application, and can be tricky to master.

I used to discourage men from trying permanent makeup. Looking back, I honestly can’t explain why. That was then.

This is now.

Why More Men Are Choosing Permanent Makeup in 2025

Men want to look younger and more defined, too—and they’re finally embracing it. Here’s why:

  • Hair loss and thinning brows happen to men as much as women.

  • Greying hairs reduce definition around the eyes.

  • Topical makeup is impractical. It takes skill and patience to make it look natural, and most men don’t want the hassle of daily application.

Permanent Makeup, Microblading, Cosmetic Tattoo, Hair Strokes, and Brow Feathering all offer solutions that look incredibly natural. Nobody has to know you had it done.

The Bigger Picture: Looking Younger, Feeling Confident

  • Botox can lift and smooth.

  • Permanent Makeup restores definition and color to brows, eyes, and lips.

Together, they create a refreshed look without anyone guessing why you suddenly look younger and better rested. In the age of selfies, Zoom calls, and constant photos, subtle improvements can make a big difference in how you show up—and how confident you feel.

Final Thought

If you’re a man noticing sparse brows, fading definition, or simply want to look sharper in photos, Permanent Makeup could be your solution. Natural, subtle, and long-lasting—it’s no longer just for women.

Permanent Makeup Camouflage

Q: Can I camouflage a scar, area of the skin that's missing pigment, or previous permanent makeup by using skin colored tattoo pigment? Clients with Vitiligo and scar tissues on their body/face request camouflage tattooing to match their natural skin color.  There's always Pros and Cons. Pro:  Tattooing skin colored pigment can conceal or make the area with loss of pigment less noticeable.  There are a lot of vendors with various colors, so you may find a color to match your skin tone.   Con : Your skin may darken or lighten depending on the time of the year, i.e. sun tan. It may be subtle, but your skin varies in darkness/lightness throughout the year.  However,  the Camouflage pigment will remain the same.  It will not tan with you.  Therefore, if the scar/loss of pigmented area is on your body that gets exposed to sun light,  this may not be a good solution for you. Also, all pigment fades over time.  Again, th...

Various Questions You Should Ask Your Permanent Makeup Artist Prior to Booking an Appt.

Basic Questions to Ask a Permanent Makeup Artist Prior to Scheduling an Appointment: Q1:   Are you OSHA Compliant? If the Artist is NOT Occupational Safety and Health Authorization (OSHA) compliant, take your business elsewhere.  This is basic requirement for every Permanent Makeup business in the state of California and most other states.   An annual inspection and testing is necessary to be granted a certificate to operate by the County Health Services. As of July 2012, all Permanent Makeup and Tattoo Artists need a permit issued by the Health Department to conduct business in CA.  The county will not issue a permit without an annual inspection.  Please note, this Permit is different than City Business Registration.  City Business Registration only notifies the City that you are conducting business at that location. A sink with hot/cold water is required in the workspace in Contra Costa County, CA.  Sinks in the bathroom do not c...

Before Permanent Makeup After Permanent Makeup  Hairstroke Brows Brow Design and Color: Two elements required for a successful permanent makeup brow procedure. If you have permanent makeup brows that just doesn't look right, ask yourself, is it the Brow Design or the Color that is not quite right. If the pigment color is not right, minor adjustments can be made to cool or warm the brow color.  The artists may use an Orange pigment to warm the Blue Grey brows.  If the brow color is too warm, then the artist may use a green to cool down the color. If the Brow Design is not right, Tattoo Lightening process may be required to fade the area of the brow that's too high or too low.  This process will require patients and commitment from the client.  Several treatments of the Tattoo Lightning may be required and therefore, can take several months to fade.  For more Before/After Permanent Makeup photos, please visit us at: Jee Kim www...
