Merbau – Brow Pigment

MERBAU – warm chestnut brown pigment for eyebrow permanent makeup

LIERA MERBAU is an inorganic eyebrow pigment from the classic Brows Collection. Its warm, medium chestnut brown shade is intended for visible brow definition with a soft, natural appearance.

Particularly recommended for warm blondes and light brunettes, MERBAU is an option for PMU artists seeking to enhance the brows while keeping the overall look balanced with the client’s natural features.

What makes MERBAU distinctive?

MERBAU combines a warm chestnut tone with medium color depth. It addresses the needs of clients who prefer warm browns and want more defined brows while maintaining a soft overall appearance.

• Warm chestnut tone – for brow designs that complement warm coloring.
• Medium intensity – to enhance the natural brow shape without choosing the darkest shades in the palette.
• Natural character – for visible definition that retains a visually light appearance.
• Use in pigment blends – the featured work documents MERBAU + PALISANDER and ESPRESSO + MERBAU combinations.

Selecting MERBAU for your client

Consider MERBAU for warm blondes and light brunettes whose natural features work well with chestnut brown. Hair color alone, however, is not enough to determine pigment selection.

Before treatment, assess the natural brow hair color, skin undertone and phototype, previous pigmentation and desired intensity. Adapt the technique, application and saturation to the skin and the intended result.

When preparing blends, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and professional PMU color theory. The featured treatments are examples of specific applications, rather than universal mixing formulas.
