FAQs
Your Questions Answered: Quick Insights on Permanent Makeup
How long does permanent makeup last ?
Permanent makeup typically lasts 1 to 2 years (depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare) before needing a top up. Pigment fades over time but is considered permanent as some pigment remains despite considerable fading over time.
Is the treatment painful?
Numbing cream is applied throughout all permanent makeup treatments. Many clients report brows as being a relaxing treatment. Lips and eyeliner are typically more sensitive areas to have tattooed, so stronger numbing will be applied to ensure comfort throughout.
Is this the same as microblading?
Amy does not offer microblading, hair-stroke or combination (powder with hairstroke effect) Instead, she specialises in Ombre Powder Brows, which provide a more consistent healed result suitable for all skin types. This method is gentler to the skin, causing minimal damage with fewer touch ups required. Ombre effect unlike hair-stroke, keep the fronts of the brows soft over time for a more soft and natural look.
