Semi permanent makeup aftercare

At Beauty Bar we go beyond just doing your permanent makeup – we always make sure that you have the knowledge and support for the best aftercare. We will give you personalised aftercare instructions to follow, so your permanent makeup stays fresh and vibrant, for years to come.

Before your treatment, take some time to think what results you’d like to achieve. We can help you choose the colour and shape of your pmu that complements your style, but your preferences are important. Research pictures of our work and online, to have a clear picture of how you’d like your permanent makeup to look. You can also experiment with different looks at home, apply different styles of eyebrows or eyeliners and see what you feel best wearing. We’ll work together to make sure your chosen style is reflected in your results.

Permanent makeup may require a touch up session at 4 to 6 weeks after your initial appointment. This follow-up is included in your service, and it done to perfect the look and add very minor tweaks.

After your treatment colour will be sharper and darker at first, this is a normal and  the pigment will start to soften to a natural look as your enhancement heals.
