What is permanent makeup and who is it for?

Permanent makeup is also referred to as cosmetic tattooing or micro pigmentation. Microblading is a very commonly used searched for term but is just one type of permanent makeup effect available. To achieve permanent makeup, pigment is implanted into the upper reticular layer of the dermis. The pigment can be implanted using a tattoo machine and a microblade, a manual hand held device. Typically permanent makeup lasts between 12 months to 3 years depending on age, skin types, genetics, lifestyle choices such as exposure to sun, use of anti-aging products.

Some form of permanent makeup is suitable for most people and I can advise you at your free consultation where we will go through your medical history. Please note permanent makeup is not suitable for those who are under 18 years of age, pregnant or breast feeding.

What are the benefits of permanent makeup

ENHANCE YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY

I believe permanent makeup is there to enhance rather than mask your natural beauty. It is often about simply putting back what used to be there. This could be the original shape, fullness and arch of your brows. It could be the rosy colour of your lips and having a clear lip line. Or it could be the look of a thicker and darker lash line. Your features will be defined and showcased to their best but the results will be natural.

YOU WOKE UP LIKE THIS

How lovely to wake up and be ready to go. One less thing to have to worry about or deal with first thing in the morning. Your permanent makeup will stay looking great throughout the day regardless of whether you have been sweating at the gym, running late for the school run or have spent the day at work. You will always look your polished best.

NO NEED TO REAPPLY

Your permanent makeup will stay looking great throughout the day regardless of what your day looks like. Enjoy sweating it out at the gym? Your permanent makeup will not smudge or budge, no need to worry about smudged eyeliner or brows.. Running late for school drop off in the morning? No need to waste time pencilling in your brows. Busy day at work? No need to worry about reapplying lipstick. Permanent makeup is a great way to ensure you always look your polished best.

SAVE YOUR TIME

I think most of us agree our time is precious, so let’s make the most of every minute. According to the Telegraph, British women spend 9 full days a year applying makeup. What time could you save and what could you do with that extra time? Some of clients tell me they waste additional time wiping off what they have applied as they don’t find it easy to get evenly shaped brows, a crisp eyeliner or choose the best lip colour. I can take that headache away.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

The cost of eye brow, eyeliner and lipstick products can add up. Liners, powders, creams, glosses, pencils, the list seems endless. A recent survey from Fragrance Direct discovered on average women spend £482.51 a year. Purchasing makeup can be a real case of trial and error so how much of this ends up unused and unwanted? Invest in yourself by getting the best result, first time from an expert.

RELIEF FOR SENSITIVE AND ALLERGY PRONE SKIN

If you suffer from allergies or have sensitive skin which can be irritated by makeup, permanent makeup can offer the perfect solution.

It is also a good opportunity to visit Manchester or the Trafford Centre which are only 20 minutes drive away.

YOUR SAFETY IS MY PRIORITY

In terms of COVID-19, I have completed and follow the COVID-19 Infection and Prevention and Control training provided by the Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists Ltd, the UK trade body.

PREMIUM QUALITY

I've benefited from my trainer's experience of doing permanent makeup for over 10,000 clients and her testing of the world's leading pigments and tools available. I use Permablend and Tina Davies pigments which are hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty free. They have the highest level of lightfastness which means the colours that make up the pigments fade at the same rate, so your permanent makeup won't fade to a strange colour. They also have the longest lasting colour retention in the permanent makeup industry which means you will only need a small colour boost appointment every 1-2 years to keep your makeup and you looking your best.

The Spektra Xion is a very powerful and versatile tattoo machine as well being incredibly quiet, helping provide a more relaxing treatment experience.

STRIVING TO BE THE BEST

Through continuous professional development and practice I strive to provide my clients with the best results possible. I won't be satisfied until you are also completely satisfied.
