Pigment from the 'Ombre Brows' series created in collaboration with Perma Blend x Paulina Osinkowska
PIGMENT 06
The darkest shade in the Ombre Brows collection
Ideal for clients with darker skin tones, naturally dark brows, and black or dark brown hair.
Despite its intensity, there is no need to be afraid of it – this is not a typical dark pigment with a large amount of Carbon Black and strong binders.
When used correctly, it provides a deep, dark brown, chocolate shade. However, it is important to use it on clients and skin types for which this pigment was designed.
Application tips: When working with Pigment 06, moderation is key – too many passes or excessive pressure may result in an overly intense color after healing, and improper use may lead to grayish healing. Work superficially and in layers, avoiding chaotic application. Immediately after the procedure, the pigmentation offers a more transparent effect compared to other pigments in the collection due to the low Titanium Dioxide content. To achieve a subtler, satin effect, add a diluent. Pigment 06 is ideal for darkening Pigments 4 and 5, but is not recommended for use with Pigments 1, 2, and 3. To modify and warm up the base, add 2-3 drops of orange pigment to 15 drops of pigment.
Pigment is one of the most important tools in a PMU artist's kit. As artists, we can have the best products, but if we do not fully understand how to work with pigment, adjust techniques to specific colors or skin types, or properly use equipment, we risk making intuitive decisions that may lead to unsatisfactory results for both you and your client. The Ombre Brows collection is divided into light, medium, and dark shades, numbered 01–06, to simplify color selection. Each color has been modified and balanced to heal into beautiful brown tones when used correctly. However, in some cases, corrective pigments such as yellow or orange, as well as a diluent, which lightens the color and gives it more transparency, will be necessary.

Our goal was to create a collection that sits between the classic Perma Blend line and the inorganic pigments available on the market. The pigment formula is hybrid, containing Carbon Black as the black colorant, organic pigments such as three different types of reds, yellows, and oranges, and inorganic white. Each colorant and carrier component has a specific role in the mixture. We modified the formula multiple times to achieve the desired effects, focusing primarily on the dispersion charge and the carrier package components.
Choosing the right shade of pigment is crucial, as a color that is too dark can lead to undesirable results after healing. Choose the shade that best suits the client’s complexion. When in doubt, opt for a lighter shade that you can always darken later. The correct color choice is the foundation of the final pigmentation effect. Although the Ombre Brows pigments were designed to allow techniques similar to working with inorganic pigments, they should not be directly compared. Differences in their composition, chemical properties, and physical characteristics lead to different visual effects immediately after application.
