What is eyebrow cosmetic tattoo?

Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing that uses precise techniques to implant pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. It is designed to enhance or correct features that would otherwise require daily makeup application.

Also known as: permanent cosmetic, cosmetic tattooing, and micropigmentation.

How permanent is it?

The term permanent refers to the stability of the pigment once implanted. However, results are not everlasting. Longevity varies from person to person and depends on factors such as lifestyle, skin type, health, environmental exposure, and pigment type and brand.

Most permanent makeup will gradually fade over time and require maintenance to keep results looking fresh.

The methods

Techniques

Microblading

A form of cosmetic tattooing performed using a manual hand tool, rather than a machine. This technique creates fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs and deposits pigment into the upper dermal layer of the skin.

Powder Brows / Shading

A machine technique that softly shades the brows, similar to filling them in with powdered makeup.

Ombre Brows

A machine-shaded brow that gradually transitions from lighter at the front to darker toward the tail for a soft, blended effect.

Combo Brows

A customized blend of techniques — manual and/or machine — designed to create individualized results for each client.

Nano Brows

A machine-based technique that creates ultra-fine, hair-like strokes using a single-needle cartridge. Nano brows offer the realism of microblading with improved longevity and retention, making them suitable for all skin types — including oily, combination, and mature skin.

Before & after your procedure

What to expect

Patch testing

A patch test is recommended at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to check for reactions to pigments or numbing agents. While helpful, patch tests cannot guarantee that a reaction will not occur.

Preparation

Arrive makeup-free to allow accurate pigment selection
Avoid oily products around the area before your appointment

During the appointment

Brows are carefully mapped and shaped for approval before treatment
Only hairs outside the approved shape will be removed
Numbing is applied for comfort (before microblading; during shading procedures)
Discomfort is minimal and varies by individual tolerance

Aftercare & healing

Avoid water on brows for the first 3 days
Apply the provided aftercare ointment for the first 3 nights
Brows will appear darker and thicker initially
Scabbing and peeling are normal
Temporary color loss or patchiness may occur — this is part of the healing process

Healing time: approximately 2 weeks. An initial touch-up within 3 months is recommended to perfect results and prolong longevity.

Longevity & maintenance

Results typically last 1–2 years, depending on lifestyle and skin type. Factors such as sun exposure and exfoliation can cause fading.

Apply SPF daily to protect pigment
Annual touch-ups are recommended to maintain color and shape

✨ Save time on your makeup routine — and truly wake up like this every day.
