Eyebrows last 12 to 24 months on average before needing a refresh. Eyeliner can last 2 to 5 years. Lips fade faster, usually within 1 to 3 years. Sun exposure, skin type, and pigment colour all change the timeline. Oily skin breaks down pigment faster than dry skin. Plan repeat sessions as maintenance.
Bad colour, such as grey or orange tones, comes from using the wrong pigment for your skin tone. Uneven shape happens when mapping is rushed. Migration, where pigment spreads under the skin, follows too-deep needle work. Choose slow, measured artists who show healed results.
Eyebrow work usually comes as microblading, which uses a hand blade to cut thin strokes, or as machine shading, which uses dots to build a soft fill. For lips, the common option is a lip blush. For eyes, it is a soft lash enhancement or a thin eyeliner line.
Skin does not hold pigment evenly on the first pass. A touch up at 6 to 8 weeks fills any pale spots and adjusts the shape. Most technicians include one touch up in the price. Skipping it leads to patchy or faded results within 6 to 12 months. Treat the touch up as part of the procedure.
Ask to see healed photos taken 6 weeks after the session, not just day 1 results. Check that the studio follows local health rules and that the artist has a bloodborne pathogen certificate. A good technician will also refuse to work on active skin issues near the area.
Permanent makeup places coloured pigment into the upper layer of the skin using a fine needle. It mimics hair strokes, eyeliner, or a lip tint. The pigment sits about 1 mm to 2 mm below the surface and fades gradually over time, so the look is semi-long-term, not truly permanent.
Colour looks about 30 to 50 percent darker right after the session. Days 2 to 4 may show mild swelling and tightness. Days 5 to 10 light scabs form and flake off. The colour appears too light for about 2 weeks, then settles to the true tone by week 6. Avoid picking the flakes.
Price depends on the artist training, the technique used, and the city area. Microblading often costs more than machine shading because it is slower. Adding a numbing upgrade, removing old pigment with saline, or choosing a senior artist can raise the quote by 20 to 40 percent.
Keep the area dry for the first 24 hours, then wash gently with mild soap. Apply the aftercare balm the technician provides, usually 2 to 3 times daily for 7 to 10 days. Avoid sun, pools, and saunas for 2 weeks. Do not pick scabs. Use SPF 50 on the area daily once healed to slow fading.
Most clients describe the feeling as a scratchy vibration rather than sharp pain. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied 15 to 30 minutes before needling. Some areas, like the lips, are more sensitive and may need a second application. Numbing does not remove all feeling. Pain tolerance varies widely between people.
