About Permanent Makeup
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why a touch up is almost always needed
Skin never holds pigment evenly on the first pass, so almost every artist schedules a touch up at 6 weeks to 8 weeks. At this visit, gaps are filled, shape is refined, and the tone is corrected. Skipping this step often leads to patchy or uneven final results.
How long a first appointment takes
Plan for 2 to 3 hours for the first visit. About 20 to 30 minutes is spent on shape mapping and pigment choice. The actual needling lasts 45 to 90 minutes depending on the area. Brows usually take less time than full lip shading. Rushing the mapping step is a common cause of regret.
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.
