What is the semi-permanent makeup application process?

The semi-permanent makeup process has 4 steps: (1) Consultation and design — shape mapping and color selection, approved by the client before starting. (2) Numbing — topical numbing cream applied for 20–30 minutes. (3) Pigment application — 45 to 90 minutes using a manual blade or digital machine depending on the service. (4) Aftercare and a touch-up appointment scheduled 6–8 weeks later for the final result.

Does semi-permanent makeup hurt?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to topical numbing cream applied before the procedure. The sensation is typically described as mild scratching or light pressure. The lips tend to be slightly more sensitive than brows or eyelids.

How long does semi-permanent makeup last?

Semi-permanent makeup typically lasts 1 to 3 years depending on skin type, sun exposure, skincare products used, and the specific service. Oily skin tends to fade faster. Annual or biannual color refresh appointments are recommended to maintain vibrancy.

What should I expect during the healing process after semi-permanent makeup?

Days 1–3: the color looks dark and the area may be slightly swollen. Days 4–7: peeling and flaking occurs — do not pick. Days 7–14: color appears lighter and may look patchy — this is normal. Weeks 3–6: the true color emerges as skin fully heals. A touch-up appointment at 6–8 weeks perfects the final result.

Who is a good candidate for semi-permanent makeup?

Most people are good candidates for semi-permanent makeup. It may not be suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area, are taking blood thinners or Accutane, or have had recent facial surgery or fillers in the area. A full consultation is conducted to assess candidacy.
