What Is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique that enhances your natural features using pigments applied to the skin. It’s designed to save you time, boost your confidence, and give you a polished, effortless look every day whether that’s fuller brows, defined eyes, or softly tinted lips.
Permanent makeup can be completely customized to your style and desired outcome, from a natural, subtle enhancement to a bold, statement look.
How Permanent Makeup Works
Different techniques are used depending on the area:
Brows:
Permanent makeup for brows is tailored using a variety of techniques to suit your skin type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. These include microblading, which creates fine, hair-like strokes; nano brows, an advanced machine technique that produces ultra-realistic strokes with longer-lasting results; and powder or ombré brows, which add soft shading and definition for a makeup-inspired finish. Combination (combo) brows blend hair strokes with shading for the perfect balance of natural texture and polished definition. The result is brows that are fuller, more symmetrical, and beautifully framed to your face.
Lips:
Lip blush enhances your natural lip colour and shape with a soft, youthful tint, while dark lip neutralization corrects and balances darker or uneven tones before adding the desired colour. The result is brighter, more even lips with a naturally refreshed appearance.
Eyeliner:
Permanent eyeliner defines the eyes with anything from a subtle lash enhancement to a more defined line, helping your eyes stand out while maintaining a polished, effortless look every day.
Benefits of Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup offers countless advantages, including:
- Time-saving: Say goodbye to daily brow, lip, or eyeliner routines.
- Always flawless: Look amazing while swimming, sweating, or on-the-go.
- Youthful appearance: Enhancements can subtly lift and brighten your features.
- Customizable: From soft and natural to bold and defined, the results match your preferences.
Comfort and Safety
Your comfort is a top priority. I use a strong numbing agent with lidocaine and epinephrine to make the procedure comfortable and mostly painless. Permanent makeup is safe when performed by an experienced artist and there’s no permanent damage or scarring when done correctly.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
For the best results:
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior
- Avoid ibuprofen or similar medications for 24 hours prior
- Stop taking fish oils 3 days before your appointment
- Keep the area healthy and avoid sun exposure for at least a week
Why: These steps help minimize bleeding and ensure the pigment settles evenly for a flawless result.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Consultation & Mapping: We discuss your goals, shape, colour, and desired outcome. Adjustments are made before starting.
Procedure:
- Numbing applied
- Pigment applied using microblading, shading, lip blush, or eyeliner techniques
- Process repeated until the perfect result is achieved
Tip: Minimal discomfort may be felt at first, but as the numbing works, the procedure is generally painless.
After Your Appointment
Treated areas may appear darker or sharper initially, then fade 20–50% during healing
- Scabs may form over 5–10 days
- Pigment gradually softens and resurfaces over 4–6 weeks
- Keep the area clean, dry, and avoid water or sweat
- A retouch is usually recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial session for optimal results
Some clients may go months without needing another touch-up, depending on skin type.
Longevity
Permanent makeup typically lasts 2–4 years, sometimes longer. Skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare affect longevity and dryer skin tends to retain pigment longer.
Correcting Previous Work
Permanent makeup is also ideal for correcting or covering previous tattoos or uneven pigment. Techniques like shading and colour correction can neutralize old pigment and create the desired look.
