This technique mimics the ‘effect’ you achieve when you use a brow powder or pencil. It offers a ‘blocked in’ appearance as the pigment is applied using a technique that covers the brow area from the inner brow through to the tail in one block color. It adds depth, definition, and results in a more ‘made up’ look. When healed, you will enjoy a permanent, defined but soft powdered look. The color will be bespoke blended to compliment your skin tone and hair color to achieve a natural look.
This is the ultimate brow treatment. It offers the best of both ‘powdered’ and ‘hair strokes’ effects combined to achieve a beautifully natural yet defined brow. The inner brow is feathered with hair strokes while the tails are powdered to achieve the perfect definition. Hair strokes are also added around the outer line of the arch to soften the powdered tails. If you want the ultimate and most popular brow style then the ‘Combination Brow’ will suit you.
The answer to this is that everyone is different, the pigment fades due to the natural exfoliation of the skin. So as your dead skin cells disperse through your body, so too does the pigment attached to the cells. Darker colors are more stable colors than the lighter and so tend to last longer. However the light colors should still last at least anywhere from 9 months – 3 years. However We have seen some lighter color be there up to 10 years later in a lesser form. This is why we personally prefer to call it ‘Permanent’ makeup rather than ‘semi-permanent’ as it is likely never fully disappear. It also depends on if you attend your 6 week top up which is essential for you to get the longevity out of your permanent makeup.
NO! there is absolutely no need to remove the brow hair that is already there. Keeping this will add a more natural dimension to your brow. The only time any hair may need to be removed is small amounts to shape the brow to get the best shape possible for you. They shouldn’t be waxed or threaded immediately before the procedure as this will open your pores and pigment may get into the pores.
When you first have your permanent makeup done, the color will be between 50 – 70% lighter after the initial scabbing comes off. Remember the pigment is healing under your skin, not on top of it. We always air on the side of caution initially so you can get used to it but we would say 95% of my clients return for there top-up wanting them darker. This should always be fully explained and understood before any permanent makeup is applied.
We mix your color considering your skin tone and hair color to get the perfect color for you. This is also discussed and confirmed with you before any treatment goes ahead.
