Let’s talk about permanent makeup! This topic sparks a lot of curiosity, and we’re here to answer all your questions. So, let’s dive right in—what exactly is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is a form of semi-permanent tattooing, also known as cosmetic tattooing, used to enhance natural features or create a bolder look—completely customized to your preference! Using tiny needles and safe pigments, this technique has come a long way over the years. In fact, permanent makeup dates back over 12,000 years, all the way to Ancient Egypt. However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that the process became more refined and accessible.
While interest in permanent makeup faded for a while, it regained popularity in the 1700s and 1800s. At that time, tattoo artists were using similar techniques for brows, eyes, lips, and other areas, applying solid color with carbon-based pigments (like those used in traditional tattoos). Unfortunately, the results often looked unnatural and faded into a blue or green hue over time. Many people still face the challenges of unwanted pigment from older techniques, like microblading that has turned discolored. Fortunately, today’s technology allows artists to help clients remove outdated pigments and start fresh with more natural-looking results.
Since the 1990s, permanent makeup has made major strides in tools, techniques, and regulations. It was once less regulated, but now there are strict standards in place to ensure safety for both artists and clients. Today’s tools are more advanced, and pigments are organic, available in a wide range of shades that are safely absorbed by the skin without changing color or containing harmful chemicals.
Techniques have also evolved to create more natural, customized results that can be tailored to each individual’s features and preferences. The beauty of modern permanent makeup is that it fades over time, allowing for easy touch-ups, the option to let it fade naturally, or even the chance to try a completely new style. Nothing is permanent—except the convenience!
Now that we have a solid understanding of what permanent makeup is, let’s explore the different types we offer:
Ombre/Powder/Microshading Brows: These create a bolder look, often with an ombre effect—light at the front and darker at the tail.
Nano/Combo Brows: For a more natural look, nano brows use individual hair strokes throughout the brow, while combo brows blend hair strokes at the front with soft shading toward the tail for a fuller, but still natural, appearance.
Lip Blush: Lip blush enhances your natural lip color and shape or helps correct dark pigmentation. Whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a bold pop of color, it’s a fantastic option for eliminating the need for daily lip color. It’s especially great for those with naturally darker lips who want a brighter, more even tone.
Eyeliner: If you love eyeliner but dread the time and precision it takes each day, this service is perfect for you. Whether it’s a subtle enhancement along the lash line or a dramatic wing, you can wake up with perfectly defined eyes every day.
Permanent makeup offers incredible convenience and can drastically simplify your beauty routine. Thanks to modern advancements, it’s customizable, safe, and nothing like the outdated methods many fear.
