• Color fades 30–70% depending on skin type, sun exposure, skincare, and pigment depth
• Strokes blur slightly (especially in oily skin or areas with faster cell turnover), so hair strokes can look more shaded or powdery

• Shape stays, detail softens—the overall brow structure is still there, but edges are less sharp
