Permanent Makeup has advanced significantly, with modern techniques offering a natural and seamless look rather than the outdated tattered lines around features.

Permanent Makeup is a technique that enhances your natural features, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. It allows you to wake up looking effortlessly good every day, reducing the need for daily makeup application and ensuring consistent and smudge-proof beauty.

Also known as lip blushing or lip tinting, a lip tattoo is a simple wash of sheer color across the entire lip. This super-natural, semipermanent cosmetic tattoo builds consistent color and defines your shape for fuller lips without filler and a more polished pout. Lip blushing is a “more intense" process compared to other permanent makeup tattoos. Since the skin on the lips doesn't retain pigment as well as the rest of the skin, some clients require two or three touch-ups.


You could need multiple treatments, so be sure to schedule a consultation so that we can review your individual case. You also may need to touch up the tattoo as pigment fades with time.

It is impossible to predict how long the pigment will last, a number of factors must be taken into account. In order to preserve the tattoo as long as possible, it is necessary to follow all aftercare instructions and to apply sunscreen on the tattoo area (only after the crusts come off!) with SPF factor of 30-50. The reason is the technique is superficial and the pigment is very prone to burnout.

Permanent Makeup stays intact without smudging or fading during physical activities and busy work schedules, making it ideal for professionals in fitness and healthcare who may struggle with maintaining daily makeup.

Use basic soap and avoid moisturizers for several days before your procedure. Do not tweeze, wax, get electrolysis, or tan one week prior to treatment.

Permanent Makeup treatments are typically completed in two sessions, 4-6 weeks apart. The first session lays the groundwork, and the second session, which lasts about 2 hours, adjusts based on how your body has responded.
