Frequently Asked Questions about PMU

Here are some of the frequently asked questions about permanent makeup. If you can’t find your answer on our website, simply use the “contact us” page to send a message, or book a free permanent makeup consultation to ask Katie in person!

YES and they’re FREE! If you are looking to have your permanent makeup done by Katie, you must schedule a permanent makeup patch test and consultation to be carried out at least 48 hours before treatment. The patch test is then valid for 6 months (providing no medical changes) and existing clients seeking to have a colour boost will need a new patch test if it has been over 6 months since their last permanent makeup treatment. Please note, a negative patch test does not guarantee that a reaction will not occur, nor will having had the treatment done previously.

There are a number of variables that can impact the longevity of your permanent makeup such as your lifestyle, skin type, medication, and skincare products, however the average person requires a colour boost every 12 – 18 months. We tend to call it permanent makeup (PMU) and not semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) due to the fact there is no guarantee the pigment will ever completely leave the skin. This is the case with all techniques including microblading and machine work.

Treatment times vary depending on the area being tattooed. Brow appointments are typically 2.5 hours long, lips are usually 3 hours and eyeliner ranges between 2 and 3 hours depending on the style.

A colour boost every 18 months (on average) will keep your permanent makeup looking fresh. However your eyebrows might still need waxing and tinting if that is what you’re used to because PMU does not change the natural hairs. Lips and eyeliner can be left alone – perhaps a little lip balm or oil daily to keep the lips well hydrated, and a bit of mascara, lash lift or lash extensions will compliment any eyeliner beautifully. However none of this is necessary, permanent makeup is very low maintenance – the ultimate “get up and go” look!
This varies from client to client. Providing the shape has been done well, and the pigment has faded enough making room in the skin for fresh pigment, we can look to going over them again. A consultation (like always) is required first so we can assess your tattoo in person and carry out a patch test. In some cases, removal is required first before having your permanent makeup refreshed.
All pre-treatment requirements are discussed at your free consultation appointment because the advice varies depending on the area you are having tattooed. However, for all permanent makeup procedures, you must avoid caffeine products, alcohol and ibuprofen for 24 hours prior to treatment. There are also other things like the use of retinols, sun exposure, medications and injectables that need assessing.
