Frequently Asked Questions

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing treatment designed to enhance your natural features. Pigment is carefully implanted into the skin to create long-lasting brows, lip colour or eyeliner that looks soft and natural. 

PMU typically lasts 1– 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A colour boost is recommended every 12–18 months to keep your results looking fresh. 

Most clients describe the treatment as slightly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible. 

I offer a range of permanent makeup services such as hair stroke, ombre powder brows, permanent eyeliner, and lip blush. Your first appointment usually takes 2–3 hours. This includes consultation, mapping, colour matching and the treatment itself. Perfection takes time 🤍 .

Permanent Makeup may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, undergoing certain medical treatments, prone to keloid scarring, or taking specific medications such as Roaccutane within the past year. A full consultation will always be carried out to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

Arriving with your usual brow or lip makeup on can also be helpful, as it allows us to understand your preferred style.

Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, sunbeds and applying makeup directly to the area until it has fully healed.
