Semi permanent makeup Hertfordshire

Semi permanent makeup Hertfordshire.

Have you ever wished that your makeup doesn’t fade or smudge, or doesn’t need touching up during the day?

Are you tired of spending hours in front of the mirror trying to pencil your brows or struggling to get a perfect and even eyeliner?

Permanent makeup means no more smudged eyeliner, uneven lipstick, and thinning eyebrows! With this innovative procedure, you can wake up every morning with perfectly shaped eyebrows, and defined eyes and lips.

Unlike traditional makeup, which fades and smudges over time, permanent makeup looks flawless all day, for years to come. Rain or shine, gym sessions or late night parties, your makeup will stay intact.

At Beauty Bar we offer semi permanent makeup that does just that – stays in place, and makes you look perfect at any time of day or night, so you can face the world with style and confidence.

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is also called semi permanent makeup, micro pigmentation, PMU, SPMU or cosmetic tattoo. It is a form of tattooing, using special tools like permanent makeup machine or microblades, the pigment is deposited into the skin.

 

What is the difference between microblading and pmu machine?

There are two different tools that are used in permanent makeup tattooing: microblading pen and a pmu machine.

Microblading is a very old tattoo technique that originated in Japan between 1600-1800 and was reinvented in Asia around 2005. It is a manual pen with fine blades that scratch the skin and deposit pigment.

Pmu machine is a gentle tattoo machine that uses cartridges with various needle configurations that deposit pigment in the skin.

Both microblade and machine can create hair strokes and powder eyebrows.
