Permanent cosmetics is a form of tattooing where pharmaceutical-graded pigments are inserted into the skin.  A Special permanent makeup machine or hand tool and individually packed disposable safety needles are used to implant the pigments into the upper dermis layer of the skin.

Imagine the benefits of having your makeup in place all day, day after day, 24/7.

The pigment used is very subtle and is developed to be used on the face and work with your own natural skin colour undertones.  By mixing pigment colours, we can create the perfect individual colour to suit you.

The pigments I use are safe, non-toxic and hypo-allergenic.  I use Permablend Cosmetic Tattoo Pigments.  They are trusted by technicians worldwide.

• Women who have very little or no time to apply makeup

• Women with little confidence in applying makeup
• People who like to look their best at all times
• People who have sparse or over-plucked eyebrows

These are just some of the reasons permanent (also referred to as micro-pigmentation) cosmetics are becoming more and more popular within the beauty industry.  This treatment can enhance your features, make smaller eyes look more prominent, and make thin lips fuller.  Eyebrows can be altered to give the shape you always wanted, even giving the effect of a mini eye lift.

First application procedures take approximately:

• Eyebrows – 2 hours
• Eye Liner top only - 1 hour
• Eyeliner top and bottom – 2 hours
• Full-Lip - 2-3 hours

• Pregnant or nursing
• Diabetic type 1 (consult your doctor first)
• Undergoing Chemotherapy (consult your doctor)
• Viral infections and/or diseases
• Epilepsy
• A Pacemaker or major heart problems
• Had an Organ transplant
• Skin irritations or Psoriasis in or near the treated area (rashes, eczema, sunburn, acne, etc.)
• Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
• Had Botox in the past week
• Used Accutane / similar acne medication in the past year (Very important!)

• Eyelift or blepharoplasty: Wait about three months after the procedure.
• Botox or fillers: Do PMU before or wait one week
• Eyelash extensions: AFTER permanent makeup, not before. PLEASE remove them before your eyeliner procedure.
• Cold Sores: Lip clients MUST take (anti) viral meds before the lip procedure. Your doctor can prescribe meds for you.
• Laser eye surgery: Wait about three months for the eyeliner procedure. All other permanent makeup procedures are ok.
• Shingles (varicella): If you have shingles on your face, wait several months to get permanent makeup.
• Let us know if you have/had allergic reactions to topical anaesthetics.

• PLEASE LEAVE HUSBANDS, PETS & KIDS AT HOME!
• Don't book an appointment at least a week before important events.
• Following the aftercare instructions in the letter is very important to get the best results!
• The hair stroke procedure is meant to look very natural – I CAN NOT do this over existing, dark permanent eyebrows – I suggest the client considers tattoo removal first to lighten the area and then return after healing. If you have an existing eyebrow tattoo performed by another permanent makeup artist, I will not consider you a client unless it is 90% faded.  I would need to see your eyebrows in person to determine this.
• No sweating on the day of your procedure or for seven days after. Sweat will affect pigment retention.
• Do not tan or have a sunburned face.
• Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E / Primrose Oil, Omega oils, krill oil, fat-burners, Turmeric / Curcumin supplement, cayenne pepper supplement, or olive leaf extract supplement - For two weeks before your procedure.
• No alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before the procedure.
• No waxing or tinting two days before
• If you are a smoker, your pigment will fade faster, and the topical anaesthetics used during the treatment will not last as long
• Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
• If you have incredibly oily skin, the hair stroke eyebrow technique will NOT work well for you. The constant production of oil will cause the hair strokes to heal with a diffused, softer look.  Your result will look more powdered than you would expect.
• If you are wearing lash extensions, you cannot wear them pre, during or post-procedure till your eyeliner is completely healed (7 - 10 days after the procedure)
• Buy new mascara.

Lip procedures - If you have EVER had a fever blister or cold sore, shingles or chicken pox, it is recommended that you obtain prescribed antiviral medication from your doctor for an entire 5-7 day course (before and after) your procedure.
