Permanent Make-up

Permanent Make-up is a cosmetic beauty service in which colour pigment is placed in the uppermost layer of the skin using sterile, disposable tips. It suits people who have little time for make-up or who would like their brows, eyes and lips to look more defined. Because the work stays in the upper layer of the skin, many people find it more comfortable than a tattoo.

How long the colour lasts depends on the area, your skin type, and your skin's elasticity and moisture. Pigments gradually soften as the skin naturally renews itself, so touch-ups at regular intervals help keep the look fresh.

Microblading (the Phibrows 3D hair-stroke technique) is a manual brow drawing technique. The brow shape is calculated using the golden ratio (1.618) and your facial structure, and strokes follow the direction your natural brows grow for a realistic look. Rather than following the golden ratio rigidly, the aim is the shape that suits your face. Powder brows, meanwhile, softly shade gaps in sparse-looking brows for a denser look.

Lip blush and lip liner help lips look more defined and vibrant, and can balance colour and symmetry differences that develop over time. The pigment is not placed as deep as a tattoo and fades over time; for lip liner, this usually takes 2–3 years.

Two techniques are used around the eyes: eyeliner and lash-line liner. Eyeliner runs along the eyelid, with or without a wing, while lash-line liner is a finer, subtler line along the lash line only. A guide line is drawn first and refined until you are happy with it. Both typically last 1.5–2 years.
