Eyebrows usually look good for 12 months to 24 months before needing a colour refresh. Lips tend to fade faster, often within 12 months, because of cell turnover in that area. Lifestyle, sun exposure, and skin type change the timeline for each person.
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.
Permanent makeup places coloured pigments into the upper layers of the skin using a fine needle. It is used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip colour. The pigment sits about 1 to 2 mm below the surface. Results look like makeup but stay on through showering and sleep. It fades gradually rather than washing off.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For eyebrows, the common methods are microblading, powder brows, and combo brows. Microblading uses hair-like cuts; powder brows use small dots of pigment. Eyeliner can be a thin lash line or a wider shaded band. Lips can be tinted only or outlined and filled. Each technique uses different needle shapes and pressure.
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.
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.
