FAQ
microshading / powder / ombre brows
Powder Brows are permanent tattoo using a powder “look” technique which implants pigments into the epidermis/dermis layer. Results are lighter in color at the front of the brow and gradually get darker towards the end of the tail which resembles a make up look. This technique is achieved with a tattoo machine and needle. The end result can be very light and subtle to more filled in and darker makeup look.
We recommend a minimum of 4-6 weeks after the first session to allow the skin to heal completely before another session. Forcing another session before this duration will cause a high risk for scarring
lip blush / dark lip neutralization
Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the lips’ natural tint and shape, giving them a boost and a glossy touch. It’s designed to define and outline your lips, not to actually make them fuller. It gives the illusion that they’re fuller, but in a very natural way. It’s more or less like microblading for your lips!

You and your artist will discuss which colors suit you based on your natural lip color. Once your lips have healed, you may still enhance or change the color of your lips at anytime with conventional makeup. Your new lip tattoo is designed to act as a base, so it doesn’t mean you should throw out your lippy collection at all.
Your lips will look swollen and slightly larger than normal and look as though you may have had a slight lip filler injection. The degree of this varies from person to person. The pigment and lip color will look darker initially, like a bold lipstick. The size of your lips will shrink back to normal and the color will significantly fade up to 50% within the first 4 days. You will lose color on the inside of your lips first, the edges last. Right after the procedure lips normally feel dry, chapped, tight and tender to the touch. Similar to how a sunburn feels.
Results will always vary from person to person, after your initial session and the touch up, your results should last between 2-5 years. Additional touch ups may be required depending on the person and look desired. Permanent makeup ink is not the same as body art ink, and by design it does not last as long as body art ink.
Pain levels vary from person to person. Strong medical grade topical anesthetic cream is used before and during your procedure to keep you as pain free as possible.makeup look.

Maintenance is usually required around 1-2 years.
POST PROCEDURE Use one wipe pad every hour for the first 4 hours after your procedure and then implementing 10 days of dry healing (This means that your eyes cannot get wet at all). It would be best to wash/cleanse your face with a washcloth or wipes for these 10 days. No creams or makeup directly on the eyes (including mascara) Avoid sweating (no hot yoga, and the sauna for 10 days)
No direct sun exposure. Be sure to wear sunglasses or a wide brimmed hat if you’ll be in the sun.
Do NOT pick at the scabs, peel your scabs off, or scrub the area. This can result in scarring and will affect your overall retention of the pigment. Day 1 – May be some swelling by the end of the day. Clients may apply ice over clean cloth but not directly on skin. Day 2 – May be some swelling, but should go down by the end of this day or the next. Day 3 – Skin May feel dry, this is normal. VERY SMALL Amount of coconut or grape seed oil may be applied but very carefully and not in excess. Day 4 onward – Continue to keep area dry and free of makeup/products until scabs are gone. Between Appointments, be careful not to use creams/ products that contain acids or ingredients that will lighten or exfoliate the skin.
