Semi-permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, involves the application of pigments into the skin to enhance or mimic the appearance of makeup.
Why do it? The average woman reportedly spends over 474 days of their life putting make-up on. Semi-permanent makeup is a great opportunity to claw back some of that valuable time while still looking great and feeling confident in the skin you're in!
It does away with the bleary-eyed morning applications and removes the risk of wonky pencil brows and lipstick smears. Semi-permanent makeup lasts longer than traditional makeup but isn't permanent like conventional tattoos, so a good solution for the time-poor and commitment-phobic.
Here are some of the most popular treatments I’m offering at the moment. Take a look and see which ones could be right for you.
Microblading
Crafted to deliver defined and authentically natural-looking eyebrows, microblading employs a meticulous approach. Using a handheld tool, I’ll create precise, hair-like strokes that seamlessly mimic the appearance of your real eyebrow hairs. While not suitable for all skin types, this technique offers a remarkably natural look, surpassing conventional methods in its ability to mimic the intricacies of natural hair.
Combination brows
Striking the delicate balance between refinement and enhancement, combination brows integrate microblading with shading techniques. The front portion of the brow receives the delicate touch of microblading, while shading is applied towards the arch and tail. Ideal if you’re after a polished yet understated look, combination brows epitomise the versatility of semi-permanent makeup.
Powder brows
A great choice for people with naturally oily skin, powder brows offer a refined, hassle-free alternative to daily makeup routines. This technique involves the application of a soft, powdered look across the entire eyebrow, utilising a stippling technique to create a seamless gradient effect. With its resistance to smudging and long-lasting nature, powder brows provide a natural appearance that camouflages excess oiliness with minimal upkeep.
Ombre brows
Inspired by the popular ombre hair trend, ombre brows employ a soft shading technique to achieve a captivating gradient effect. Starting with a lighter hue at the front of the eyebrow and gradually deepening towards the tail, this technique creates a seamless transition of colour. Unlike methods requiring individual hair strokes, ombre brows offer a meticulously groomed look that endures without requiring daily touch-ups, rivalling the precision of eyebrow pencils.
Fusion brows
Offering a harmonious blend of natural hair-like strokes and a soft powder finish, fusion brows represent a versatile option for those seeking a softer aesthetic. This technique seamlessly combines microblading with shading or powdering techniques, resulting in a filled-in appearance. Ideal for individuals desiring a balanced and well-defined look, fusion brows offer real artistry and precision.
Hyperrealism brows
Harnessing the delicacy and precision of a tattoo gun, hyperrealism brows create softer, whisper strokes that emulate the natural appearance of eyebrows. This technique allows me to tailor the brow shape and fullness to suit your facial features, ensuring enduring results.
Lip blush
If you want to bring some real power to your pout, why not get a semi-permanent lip enhancement with lip blush? Adding colour and definition to the lips, this technique enhances their natural shape and hue in a shade of your choice. Once healed you’ll enjoy a natural-looking tint and improved lip contour. Lip blush provides a subtle yet impactful enhancement to your appearance, with a huge variety of colours to choose from.
Each technique offers unique benefits tailored to suit a diverse range of skin types, lifestyles and looks. During your consultation, we’ll find the best solution for the results you want to achieve. Say goodbye to laborious daily makeup rituals and embrace the effortless allure of semi-permanent makeup.
