PMU frequently asked questions

  • is semi-permanent make-up right for me?

    It is great for -
• Frequent gym users
• People who have over-plucked their brows and want shape and definition adding back into their brows
• People who have very sparse/fine eyebrows
• If you’re a make-up wearer this treatment is great for you, one less thing to worry about in a morning!
• Or the other hand if you don’t wear make up a hairstroke brow would really compliment you and will not be too harsh.

  • how long will my make-up last?

    There are many factors to consider with how long your semi-permanent make-up will last, including; your skincare routine, frequent holidays or sunbeds, oily or dry skin type, your aftercare and maintenance.

  • how do I choose the right technician?

    Choosing the right technician is a huge factor of getting semi-permanent make-up: at the end of the day it’s your face! Have a look at some of their previous work make sure you like their technique. Every SPMU artist works slightly differently, and have their own ways and effects. I will work closely with you to ensure the results are exactly as expected. I never use a 'one size fits all' approach, meaning your results will be as unique as you!

  • I have a holiday / event around the time of my procedure?

    Going on holiday around the time of your procedure may it be prior or after this will impact and longevity the result of the tattoo. If you have an event you should post-pone the treatment until you have a clear diary… aftercare is a huge part of the results, you can not wear make-up and need to keep the tattooed area completely dry as possible for 7/10 days post treatment.

  • I’m on medication?

    If you are on medication, is it for a long term or acute issue? If it is long-term you want to inform your technician and if it is a serious illness you need to get consent from your GP with a letter for your technician. If you’re only on short term medication for something like a cold or headache wait until its cleared up and your off the medication to gain best results and maintenance - sometimes medication can effect the result of your procedure.
