Permanent Makeup in Hoddesdon

Permanent makeup, often referred to as semi-permanent makeup, or cosmetic tattoo, is a cosmetic procedure where pigments are tattooed into the skin. It is commonly used in the beauty industry to enhance and beautify certain areas of the face and body. This procedure uses tattooing, but the results are not permanent and do not last for a lifetime.

Is permanent makeup really permanent?

Although permanent makeup is often considered “permanent,” it doesn’t last forever. Permanent makeup is a form of short-term tattooing, mainly used to beautify the face. Permanent Makeup doesn’t fade completely, but it fades over time gradually. To keep it looking fresh we recommend yearly or 2 yearly colour boosts.
