Understanding Permanent Makeup: What to Expect

Permanent makeup is a considered decision, and a good technician will treat it that way, starting with a detailed consultation, shape mapping and colour matching before any pigment is placed.

It's worth understanding that results are described as semi-permanent because pigment naturally softens over time, and outcomes vary between individuals depending on skin type and aftercare.

A patch test and thorough aftercare guidance should always be part of the process. If a studio skips these steps, that's worth asking about before you book.
