Combination brows — sometimes called combo brows — use hair strokes at the front of the brow, where brows naturally start lighter and more sparse, and soft powder shading through the body and tail. This combination gives structure, depth, and dimension, creating a brow that looks full and defined without appearing drawn on.
This technique is extremely popular because it suits most people and most brow types. At The De Peyer Clinic, we welcome combination brows clients from across Hampshire — Southampton, Winchester, Fareham, Romsey, and beyond. Whether you have some existing brow hair and want more fullness, or you want a more defined tail while keeping natural texture at the front, combination brows offer the perfect balance.
If you are looking for combination brows Southampton clients recommend for their natural yet defined finish, book your consultation at our Durley clinic today. We will design a bespoke brow that gives you the best of both techniques.
What Are Combination Brows?
Combination brows combine two permanent makeup techniques in one treatment. Fine hair strokes are created at the front third of the brow to mimic natural hair, while soft powder shading is applied through the body and tail to add depth, fullness, and definition. The contrast between defined strokes and soft powder creates beautiful depth and dimension.
The result is very natural — the shaded area looks like filled-in brow powder, while the strokes look like real hair. Combination brows are suitable for most skin types and are particularly good for those with some existing brow hair who want more fullness, those who want a more defined tail, or anyone who wants their brows to look polished but still natural.
Combination Brows vs Microblading vs Powder Brows
Microblading / Nano Brows
Very natural, all hair strokes. Best for sparse brows that just need filling. See our microblading page.
Powder Brows
Soft, filled-in look, more makeup-like. Excellent longevity. See our powder brows page.
Combination Brows
The middle ground — natural hair strokes at the front, the definition and longevity of powder through the body. Most popular choice.
Who Are Combination Brows Best For?
Definition & Natural Texture
Those who want both definition and natural texture in one brow treatment.
Existing Brow Hair
Clients with some existing brow hair who want to enhance and fill their natural shape.
Polished but Natural
People who like the look of a polished but natural brow — defined but not heavy.
Most Skin Types
Combination brows work well even on slightly oilier skin, as the shaded element holds better than hair strokes alone.
Best of Both
Anyone who has looked at microblading and powder brows and found themselves wanting elements of both.
Long-Lasting Results
The shaded portion provides excellent longevity, while the hair strokes keep the front looking natural.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
What Our Clients Say
"After my mastectomy and reconstruction, I didn’t feel fully myself. The final step was medical tattooing, and I’m so grateful I travelled from Portsmouth to The De Peyer Clinic in Durley. The care and compassion I received were incredible."
- Laura M., Portsmouth
"Hair loss really affected my confidence. I didn’t want surgery, so I looked into scalp micropigmentation. From the first consultation, The De Peyer Clinic in Durley made me feel completely at ease, and it was well worth the trip from Fareham."
- Tom H., Fareham
"After years of feeling self-conscious about my surgery scars, I decided to try scar camouflage tattooing at The De Peyer Clinic. The results have been amazing. The team took great care to match the pigment perfectly to my skin tone, and the difference is remarkable."
- Rachel S., Portsmouth
"I was nervous to try PRP, but from the very first consultation, the team at The De Peyer Clinic put me completely at ease. The treatment itself was straightforward, and after just a few sessions, I noticed a real difference—less shedding and visibly thicker hair around my temples."
- James T., Winchester
"After just a few sessions of mesotherapy at The De Peyer Clinic, I started noticing baby hairs growing where I’d had thinning for years. The treatment was quick, surprisingly comfortable, and the team made me feel completely at ease."
- Gemma, Bournemouth
"I’ve struggled with excessive underarm sweating for years, no matter what products I used. It really affected my confidence at work and in social situations. After having anti-wrinkle injections at The De Peyer Clinic, the results have been life-changing."
- Sophie L., Southampton
