Is semi-permanent makeup painful?

Before the procedure on lips, eyelids, and eyebrows, we apply special anaesthetic cream. Another numbing cream is applied during the semi-permanent makeup treatment after the skin has been opened.

When can I start to wear makeup after having semi-permanent make-up done?

You can start wearing makeup again a few days after your semi-permanent eyebrow or semi-permanent eyeliner treatment. It is best to stay away from applying the make-up, until the skin has healed on the surface, so about 5 to 7 days. After semi-permanent lip tattoo, you should allow 7 to 10 days.

Can I tan before and after the semi-permanent make-up treatment?

Both before and after the permanent make-up treatment, tanning is not recommended. Two of the main reasons why you shouldn’t tan before the semi-permanent makeup procedures are: your skin will be dry and peeling, and your skin will change the colour, not allowing a technician to accurately choose the pigments for your treatment. It is difficult to choose the correct pigment colour when the skin is tanned, because that is not your ‘’real’’ skin colour and tone, and the pigment will change once the tan is gone. After the semi-permanent procedure, you should not expose your freshly pigmented skin to the sun rays for about 3 to 4 weeks. For example, freshly done eyebrows when exposed to the sun may turn bluish or ashy tones.

Can I drink alcohol on the day of the semi-permanent makeup treatment and after it?

Drinking alcohol is not recommended for 2-3 days before and after the semi-permanent makeup procedures. Alcohol thins your blood and can act the same way as any blood-thinning medications. It may be responsible for pigment migration under the skin, excessive bleeding during the treatment and oedema (swelling).

How soon can I get semi-permanent eyelash extensions after permanent eyeliner tattooing?

Eyelash extensions need to be removed about a week before semi-permanent eyeliner tattoo. Semi-permanent makeup often requires two visits, the initial appointment, and a top-up appointment around 4 to 6 weeks later. You can book your eyelash extensions appointment after the second permanent makeup treatment. This should be done about 2 weeks after your top-up appointment when your eyeliner enhancement has healed.

Are the eyebrows shaved off before semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo treatment?

Absolutely not! Semi-permanent makeup on the eyebrows is performed without shaving off the natural eyebrow hairs. We shape the eyebrows but never shave them, as the natural eyebrow hairs will be included in the template that we draw to show you where the eyebrows will be tattooed. I encourage clients to leave as much natural brow hairs as possible, to achieve the most natural and realistic look.

Is it possible to return to work and daily activities after having permanent make-up on the same day?

Of course, The treated area may slightly swell up and turn red. After a very short time, the swelling and redness will go away and you can return to your daily activities.

Do lips swell up during semi-permanent makeup tattoo?
