Frequently Asked Questions

How long does semi-permanent makeup last?

The results usually wear off within one to three years. When that happens can shift for each person. It depends on how your skin responds and what you do every day. Your daily routine also plays a role, not just the product. I would plan on a small touch-up between month 12 and month 18. That way your look stays fresh and bright.

Does getting semi-permanent makeup hurt?

I do my best to help you feel comfortable. Before we start, and while we are working, I put numbing cream on the area. This is meant to cut down on any stinging or soreness. Many of my clients tell me it feels like light scratching, not real pain.

How do I choose the right brow shape and color?

You don’t have to guess. During your visit, I will measure your face. I will then draw the outline right on your skin so you can decide. After that, I mix pigments by hand to match your natural hair shade and your skin tone.

What is the healing process like after treatment?

Right after the session, your brows or lips might look a bit darker. That usually fades on its own within the first several days. Then, during the following week, the skin can start to feel dry. You may also notice light flaking. I will review the aftercare steps with you and give you an ointment to support healing and help the area look more even as it recovers.

How far in advance should I book my appointment?

I take on one client at a time. Because of that, I have most people book their plans about two to three weeks out. This usually gives enough time to arrange the first get-together. It also leaves space to deal with any delays between sessions.
