10 Things You Should Know Before Getting Permanent Makeup

May 28

Thinking about getting permanent makeup? Congratulations—you're already doing the most important thing by researching first.

Here are ten things every client should know before booking their appointment.

Permanent makeup is a process, not a one-day transformation.
Your brows or lips will appear darker immediately after the procedure before softening during healing.
Healing takes several weeks, and patience is part of achieving beautiful results.
A perfecting session is often necessary to refine color and shape after your skin heals.
Skin type affects healed results. Oily skin, for example, heals differently than dry skin.
Proper aftercare makes a significant difference in pigment retention.
Existing tattoos may require a different treatment approach than untouched skin.
Choosing the cheapest artist can become the most expensive mistake if correction or removal is needed later.
Good permanent makeup should enhance your face—not overpower it.

Communication with your artist is essential. Bring inspiration, but trust your artist to customize your results to suit your unique features.

Permanent makeup is an investment in yourself. Taking the time to understand the process will help you enjoy results you'll love for years to come.
