Permanent Makeup Pre-Care Instructions

Getting ready for your permanent makeup appointment? A little preparation can make a big difference!

Whether you’re coming in for brows, lip blush, or eyeliner, these simple pre-care instructions will help you prepare for your visit and support the best possible results.

Before Your Appointment

  1. Plan Ahead: Mild redness or swelling is normal after permanent makeup. Try to avoid scheduling important events immediately after your appointment.

  2. Skincare: Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinol, and irritating skincare treatments near the treatment area before your visit. Follow any specific instructions Rita provides.

  3. Sun Exposure: Avoid tanning and sunburn before your appointment. Your skin should be free of sunburn and irritation.

  4. Medications: Let Rita know about any medications you’re taking, especially blood thinners. Never stop prescribed medications without your doctor’s approval.

  5. Alcohol & Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment.

  6. Exercise: Avoid intense workouts immediately before your appointment and plan to take a break from heavy sweating afterward, as instructed.

  7. Makeup: Feel free to wear your usual brow, lip, or eyeliner makeup so Rita can see the style you love.

  8. Health Conditions: Tell Rita about any recent medical treatments, skin conditions, or health concerns that might affect your procedure.

Before Your Brow Appointment

  1. Waxing & Tinting: Avoid waxing or tinting your eyebrows for at least 7 days before your appointment.

  2. Laser Treatments: Avoid IPL or laser hair removal around your eyebrows for at least 2 weeks before your procedure.

  3. Botox: If you’re planning Botox around your forehead or eyebrows, schedule it at least 2 weeks before your permanent makeup appointment.

 

A Little Tip from Rita: Let your natural brows grow before your appointment! I’ll shape and design them to complement your face.

Before Your Lip Blush Appointment

  1. Cold Sores: If you’ve ever had a cold sore, please let me know before your appointment. Lip blush can trigger an outbreak, so your doctor may recommend preventive antiviral medication.

  2. Lip Fillers: If you’ve recently had lip fillers or are planning to get them, let me know. We’ll make sure there’s enough time between treatments.

  3. Keep Your Lips Hydrated: Moisturize your lips regularly in the days leading up to your appointment.

  4. Avoid Irritation: Skip lip scrubs, harsh exfoliants, and irritating lip products before your visit.

  5. Healthy Lips: If your lips are cracked, sunburned, or have an active cold sore, please contact me. We may need to reschedule.

 

A Little Tip from Rita: Bring your favorite lipstick or a photo of a lip color you love! It’ll help us find the perfect shade for you.

Before Your Eyeliner Appointment

  1. Contact Lenses: Please remove your contact lenses before your appointment and bring your glasses.

  2. Eye Health: If you have dry eyes, sensitive eyes, irritation, or an eye infection, let me know before your appointment. We may need to reschedule until your eyes are healthy.

  3. Lash Extensions: Please have your eyelash extensions removed before your eyeliner procedure.

  4. Lash Serums: Let me know if you’re using an eyelash growth serum. Some products may need to be paused before treatment.

  5. Plan Ahead: Your eyelids may be swollen or sensitive afterward. Arrange a ride home if needed, especially if your vision feels uncomfortable.

 

A Little Tip from Rita: Come with clean eyes and no mascara or eyeliner. I’ll take care of the rest!
