Permanent Makeup Harpenden

Semi-permanent makeup Beauty Bar

Permanent makeup can subtly highlight natural features. A common misconception is that once done, it stays with us for 20 years of for life. This is how permanent makeup was applied in the past – bold, block, blue black eyebrows were permanent and looked like a proper tattoo.

Today’s techniques allow for the slow and gradual fading of the pigment, and well done permanent makeup treatment looks natural and elegant.

It’s important to note that permanent makeup is not the same as an evening, strong makeup look. Its goal is to accentuate your features, slightly balance asymmetries, and enhance your beauty without looking overdone.

It is also cost effective – when you multiply the monthly costs of tinting or HD brows, and time spent on it over several months, it becomes a worthwhile investment.

Permanent makeup benefits Harpenden

Permanent makeup is an ideal solution for people who want to save time on daily makeup routine and would like to enhance their eyebrows, eyes or lips for longer. PMU is recommended for people with faded natural lip contour, this is natural process and can happen due to skin aging, or for people without natural or thinning eyebrow hair.

Depending on preferences and desired effects, permanent makeup can look subtle and natural or more dramatic and intense.

Permanent makeup can also be used for eyebrow correction. People with uneven, asymmetrical or sparse eyebrows who would like fuller look, without the need for daily makeup will find this treatment very beneficial.

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, or cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of pigments into the skin to enhance or define facial features, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. Unlike traditional makeup, which needs to be applied daily, and often touched up during the day, permanent makeup gives a long-lasting solution that can stay in place for months or even years, depending on the area and technique used.

The procedure is similar to tattooing, but it is not as deep as the body tattoo. Permanent makeup can create the illusion of fuller eyebrows, defined lips, or a more defined lash line, or eyeliner offering a natural look that saves time and effort.

This treatment is particularly popular among people with busy lifestyles, people who have difficulty applying traditional makeup due to factors such as age or vision issues, or anyone who wants to enhance their features with minimal upkeep. Permanent makeup is customisable, it gives you choices of intensity, style, and shape that best suits your features and personal preferences.
