Frequently Asked Questions

Answers To Your Common Questions

What exactly is semi-permanent makeup?

Semi-permanent makeup involves the application of pigment into the skin's upper layers to create lasting cosmetic effects, such as enhanced eyebrows, eyeliner, or lip color. Unlike traditional tattoos, they fade over time, typically lasting 1-5 years depending on the area treated and individual factors.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for semi-permanent makeup?

Ideal candidates are generally those looking for an enduring beauty enhancement who are not under 18, pregnant, nursing, or have specific health conditions like diabetes, skin diseases, or allergies to pigments. A consultation with a professional can help determine if semi-permanent makeup is right for you.

Does semi-permanent makeup hurt?

Discomfort varies by individual, but topical numbing agents are applied to minimize pain. Most clients describe the sensation as tolerable.

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure can last between 1 to 2.5 hours, depending on the complexity and area being treated. This time includes consultation, mapping, numbing, and the application of the pigment.

How should I prepare for my semi-permanent makeup appointment?

Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and certain supplements for 72 hours prior. It's also recommended to avoid sun exposure, waxing, threading, or tinting the area to be treated for several days before your appointment.

 What's the difference between microblading and ombre Eyebrows?

Microblading creates hair-like strokes for a natural look using a manual blade. Ombre  Eyebrows give a soft, makeup look using a machine. Your choice depends on the desired outcome and skin type.
