Permanent MakeuP

How long and many sessions does it take for a new set of brows, eyeliner or lip blush?

For the initial appointments, I take my time but it usually takes about 3-3.5 hours long and for touch ups usually 2 hours or less. Every brand new set of brows, eyeliner, or lip blush requires two sessions to be complete and to achieve the desired look. The first session is the initial appointment and the second session is the first touch up or the “perfecting appointment”. This is to ensure that the shape, color and retention is perfected.

What is the healing process?

You will be given thorough aftercare instructions to take care of your new permanent makeup investment. You will experience some swelling, soreness, and will appear darker on the first day following the appointment. Brows take about 10 days to heal. During this time, you will need to keep them extremely dry except when washing them twice daily with a specific cleanser and applying an ointment. Lips have the easiest and fastest healing. It only takes about 5-7 days. During this time, you will need to apply an ointment as your lips will be chapped. Eyeliner takes about a week-2weeks. You will apply an ointment daily to help keep your liner moisturized.

Can I get permanent makeup if I have botox or fillers? 

Yes! For ALL permanent makeup procedures, botox or filler appointments MUST be at least one month beforehand to let it settle in the skin and muscles.  Lips with filler do not interfere with the process of tattooing lips or the results. 

How long does permanent makeup last?

The retention of any permanent makeup depends on different factors such as the color you chose, your lifestyle, and how you care for them before and after your appointment. Although some permanent makeup can last 5+ years, it is most likely recommended to have a yearly color boost (touch up).

How long should I wait to get a touch up?

A touch up should be at least 6 weeks after the first initial session, once the brows and lips are fully healed. You may need a yearly color boost (touch up) to maintain the vibrancy of the color.
