PERMANENT MAKEUP

WHAT IT IS

Permanent makeup — sometimes called cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation — involves implanting specialized pigment into the upper layers of the skin using a fine needle or blade-style tool. The technique is designed to create the appearance of makeup-like definition in the brows, lips, or along the lash line, without daily application.

HOW IT WORKS

Each treatment begins with a consultation where your artist reviews your goals, evaluates the treatment area, and discusses which technique may be suited to your skin and desired look. For brow treatments, the shape is carefully mapped and reviewed with you before any pigment is placed. Lip blush and eyeliner treatments are mapped and customized in a similar way, based on your natural anatomy.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Consultation & Design
  Your appointment begins with a discussion of your goals, an evaluation of the treatment area, and — for brow treatments — a mapping and design step that is reviewed with you before treatment begins.

• Treatment Session
  Session length varies by technique and treatment area, generally ranging from about one to three hours. Topical numbing products may be used, when appropriate, to help support comfort throughout the appointment.

• Healing
  Permanent makeup goes through several healing stages. Pigment often appears darker or more saturated immediately after treatment and gradually softens as the area heals. Some flaking, dryness, or unevenness can be a normal part of this process.

• Perfecting Session
  A follow-up perfecting session may be recommended after the initial area has healed, allowing your artist to evaluate pigment retention and refine shape, color, or density as needed.

• Ongoing Maintenance
  Pigment gradually fades over time due to factors such as sun exposure, skincare routine, and individual skin chemistry. Periodic color-refresh appointments may be recommended to help maintain your preferred appearance. Results and longevity vary by individual.

  BENEFITS

• Softer-looking brow definition

  Microblading, powder brows, and combo brows are designed to create the appearance of fuller, more defined brows tailored to your natural shape.

• Enhanced lip tone appearance

  Lip blush is designed to enhance the natural tone and visual definition of the lips with a soft, wearable finish.

• Subtle lash-line enhancement

  Permanent eyeliner is designed to add definition along the lash line for a more polished eye appearance.

• A more streamlined beauty routine

  Many clients pursue permanent makeup to help reduce the time spent on daily makeup application.

• Personalized treatment planning

  Shape, shade, and technique are selected based on your individual features, skin type, and preferences.

• Techniques suited to different skin types

  Your artist will help identify which brow technique may be appropriate for your skin during your consultation.

• Long-wearing pigment appearance

  Permanent makeup is designed to be long-wearing; however, pigment naturally softens and fades over time, and results vary.

• Non-surgical, in-office option

  Permanent makeup is performed in-office and does not require surgery, though it does involve implanting pigment into the skin.
