Permanent Makeup FAQs
Permanent makeup (aka micropigmentation) is a cosmetic procedure that uses a fine needle to deposit ink pigments into the deeper layers of the skin in a similar way to tattoos, but with the goal of creating long-lasting makeup-style effects around the eyes, lips and face.
The five main types of permanent makeup treatment are microblading, lip blushing, permanent eyeliner, scar camouflage, and freckle tattoos.
- Microblading is used to add colour and definition to your eyebrows by depositing pigment in a way that mimics the look of natural eyebrow hair.
- Lip blushing tints the lips and defines their shape to create a fuller pout.
- Permanent eyeliner can be used to give the effect of fuller lashes by applying pigment onto your lash line; it can be applied above the lash line in your favourite style, too.
- Scar camouflage does just that; a custom-blended pigment is created to match your skin colour and implanted beneath your skin’s surface to help hide scars.
- Freckle tattoos are natural-looking freckle-like tattoos.
The length of time your permanent makeup lasts hinges on what you have done and how well you care for your skin. Microblading and permanent eyeliner last 1-3 years, lip blushing lasts 3-5 years, scar camouflage lasts 2-5 years, and freckle tattoos can last for up to 10 years. You’re likely to need touch-ups for all permanent makeup treatments.
Some countries don’t regulate permanent makeup as an industry, so for your own peace of mind on safety, do your research. Check your practitioner’s qualifications and experience: look at online reviews, and ensure they work in a clean, safe environment. If you’ve got a specific medical condition or have some upcoming medical treatment booked, you may want to ask your doctor if it’s safe for you to go ahead with a micropigmentation procedure. As with all tattoos, there’s a risk of allergic reactions, scarring, and infection.
Permanent makeup isn’t a regulated industry in some countries, so your best option is to go for word of mouth referrals, or – if you don’t have that luxury – check your practitioner’s qualifications and level of experience and look online at their reviews and social media.
How much you'll pay for permanent makeup largely depends on what you're having done, but you're likely to pay between €35 and €430.
