About Permanent Makeup
Main techniques you will see offered
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.
Healing time and what looks normal
Skin closes in about 7 days, but full healing takes 4 weeks to 6 weeks. During week 1 the colour looks 30 to 50 percent darker than expected. Mild flaking and itching are normal. If you see heavy swelling, hot redness, or pus, contact a doctor quickly.
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.
What permanent makeup actually does
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.
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.
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.
Aftercare that protects the result
Keep the area dry for 24 hours, then wash gently with mild soap for 7 days. Apply the healing balm your technician gave you. Avoid sun, gyms, saunas, and swimming for 10 days. Do not pick at any flaking skin, since this can pull pigment out early.
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.
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.
Common problems and how to avoid them
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.
