Permanent makeup (PMU), also known as cosmetic tattooing, is the art of gently applying pigments beneath the skin to replicate makeup like eyeliner, eyebrows, or lip color. It's perfect for anyone looking to simplify their daily beauty routine, especially if you have allergies to traditional makeup, struggle with precise application, or just love the convenience of waking up looking naturally fresh.

Permanent makeup typically lasts anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Eyebrows usually need a refresh around 1-2 years, eyeliner can last about 3-5 years, and lip color generally stays vibrant for 2-4 years. Factors like skin type, sun exposure, and your skincare routine influence longevity.

Want to keep your PMU looking fresh? Check out our aftercare tips.

This is everyone's biggest concern, and I'm happy to reassure you—most of my clients describe the sensation as minimal, thanks to specialized numbing creams that significantly reduce discomfort. Some feel a slight scratching sensation, but overall, it's a comfortable and manageable experience.

Healing typically takes about 7-10 days for brows and eyeliner, while lips may take a bit longer (up to 2 weeks). During this time, it's normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or flaking. But don’t worry! Proper aftercare will help your skin recover quickly and beautifully. For details, explore my healing and aftercare guide.

Yes and no! While the pigments are implanted into the deeper layers of your skin, factors like sun exposure, lifestyle, and skin turnover cause gradual fading over time. Most clients prefer touch-ups every 1-2 years to maintain the vibrancy and precision of their PMU.
