The Benefits of Semi-Permanent Makeup

Semi-permanent makeup is here to stay and slay - offering the most natural and realistic results!

Folks! It’s a great feeling waking up fresh each morning without needing to do your makeup - not to mention the time and money saved on cosmetics.

The Semi-Permanent Make-up industry is constantly evolving. Tattooing in the past was solid colour blocking that would last years. Today the industry is all about using tattoo methods, equipment and pigments that give the best result. These results allow for fading and clients to change the colour and shape every 12 to 18 months. The old inks contained titanium dioxide, which gave unattractive results. The pigments would be broken down in the body producing undesirable tones such as blue, pink and green.

Fear not! As the new generation of pigments are organic and fade to desirable natural tones - enhancing our natural features and giving us a youthful appearance.

Why Semi-Permanent Make-up is here to stay

Many of us do not want to spend more than 10 minutes applying makeup. It eats away at our precious time. Particularly, time-consuming powdering and pencilling to get the perfect brows. There are many varieties of semi-permanent brows to choose from ombré/powder brows to combination brows with natural hair strokes. The good news is you only have to have them done yearly for a top-up.

Some more positives for SPMU treatments:

• You’ll be summer and beach-ready. Say goodbye to runny makeup - instead on-point brows, lips, eyeliner and even cute freckles. You’ll look like a Greek Goddess without even trying.

• SPMU can enhance our mental health. If we look better on the outside - we feel better on the inside.

• Here’s to the younger you. The right-shaped eyebrows give a natural and youthful lift to the face.

• You’ll SAVE MONEY on beauty products.

What to Expect for your first time having SPMU Treatments:

Having Semi-permanent Makeup has been compared to light scratching. Thanks to numbing creams, most people say the pain is mild and a little more sensitive on the lips. This depends on the individual. You will be able to hear the tattoo machine, this usually isn’t a problem for most people.

It’s important to keep the area dry and clean after treatment and minor redness and swelling is to be expected. Don’t be alarmed if your eyebrows look dark at first - the colour fades as they heal and the overall result will last a year.

Lip Blush treatments can be sensitive. However, strong numbing creams are used to combat any pain. It’s exciting to choose from a wide range of lip colours. First, a darker shade is created around the lip line, which is blended with a softer shade in the middle. Tenderness is to be expected after the treatment. Aftercare is simple: refrain from touching the lips and apply antiseptic cream or aftercare tattoo balm.
