About Permanent Makeup
How long results actually last
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.
What makes the price change
Price varies by area, technique, and technician experience. Microblading for brows often sits in a mid range, while full lip shading with contour costs more. A second session for colour boost is cheaper than the first. Mobile or home studio work may add a travel fee. Cheap prices usually mean less training.
How to check a technician before booking
Ask for a portfolio of healed results, not just fresh photos. Healed photos should be taken 6 to 8 weeks after the session. Check that the studio uses single use needles opened in front of you. Pigment bottles should have a batch number and expiry date. Training certificates should name the specific technique.
Health and safety questions to ask
Ask if pigments are EU or FDA approved for cosmetic use. Confirm autoclave sterilisation for reusable tools and disposable covers for machine parts. A patch test 24 to 48 hours before the appointment checks for allergic reactions. People on blood thinners, pregnant, or with active skin conditions should wait.
Common problems and how to avoid them
Asymmetry, wrong colour, and scarring are the top complaints. Asymmetry comes from poor measuring during the mapping stage. Grey or orange brows come from using the wrong pigment depth for the skin tone. Scarring happens when pressure is too heavy or skin is needled over broken skin. Always review the drawn shape before starting.
Aftercare that protects the result
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.
What permanent makeup really does
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.
Main techniques you will see offered
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.
How long a first appointment takes
A first eyebrow session usually lasts 2 hours to 3 hours. The technician measures your face with a mapping tool, draws a shape with a pencil, and checks it with you. The pigmenting step itself is shorter. Lips and eyeliner often take 1 hour to 2 hours.
Pain level and numbing options
Most people describe the feeling as a light scratch rather than real pain. Numbing cream with lidocaine is applied 20 minutes before the work starts and is reapplied during the session. Some zones, like the lips, feel sharper, but a second layer of numbing cream usually helps.
