Microblading Practice Exam

Which of these is NOT a common pigment used in microblading?

1. Black

2. Brown

3. Red

4. Green

The correct answer is: Green

In microblading, the pigments chosen are typically based on creating natural-looking hair strokes that match the client's natural brow hair color. Commonly used pigments include black and various shades of brown, as these are the primary colors used to achieve realistic brow tones. While red pigments are sometimes used, especially for clients with ginger or auburn hair, they are not as common as black and brown. Green pigments are rarely, if ever, used in microblading for several reasons. Firstly, green is not a natural hair color for brows, making it unsuitable for microblading, which aims to enhance and artistically replicate natural hair. Additionally, microblading pigments are specifically formulated for skin tone and natural hair color, and green would generally not blend into typical brow shades, thus making it an impactful choice that does not align with the goals of microblading.
