Frequently Asked Questions
What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances your features by implanting pigment into the skin, creating long-lasting results for brows, lips, eyeliner, and more.
Why do people get permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup has many benefits! PMU saves time on your routine and can be used to improve facial symmetry and balance, restore lost or missing color, reshape imperfections, and enhance overall confidence. We provide you with natural results that are beautiful on their own or the perfect guideline to go over with regular makeup.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and adherence to aftercare.
Does permanent makeup hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. A numbing cream is applied to reduce pain, and most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching, similar to a sunburn.
Will I still need to wear makeup after my appointment?
Permanent makeup is not a replacement for regular makeup; the goal is to make your routine low maintenance, not no maintenance. It will give you fuller, more defined, natural-looking brows/lips and a base shape/color to work off of.
If you're wearing a full face of makeup, remove excess foundation and concealer from your PMU afterward. You can add additional products to your brows/lips for extra definition. *Regular grooming, including waxing and tweezing, should be expected.
Some guests love the natural look and don't add anything extra. Others prefer to use the shape we've created as a guideline for applying their regular everyday makeup. There is no correct answer!
What if I have thin lips or minimal brow hair?
These make the transformations even better! It doesn't matter what you're starting with; we're happy to show you what we can achieve with PMU.
