Semi-Permanent Makeup (PMU)
What is Semi-Permanent Makeup (PMU)?
Semi-Permanent Makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is a technique used to enhance the natural appearance of your brows through the application of pigment into the skin. This method provides long-lasting results, making your brows look perfectly shaped and filled without the need for daily makeup application.
Who is Suitable for PMU?
Semi-Permanent Makeup is suitable for anyone looking to enhance their natural brows. It’s an ideal solution for individuals with:
- Sparse or thinning brows
- Over-plucked or naturally thin brows
- Asymmetrical brows
- Active lifestyles and limited time for daily makeup application
- Desire for long-lasting, low-maintenance beauty
However, the type of PMU treatment best suited for you can vary based on your skin type:
- Oily Skin: Shading techniques such as Ombre Brows are recommended as they tend to last longer and yield better results.
- Dry Skin: Cosmetic tattooing methods like Microblading, Ombre, and Combination Brows heal well and provide long lasting results.
Types of PMU Services
Microblading
Microblading is a technique that creates natural-looking brows with hair-like strokes. This method involves using a handheld tool to deposit pigment into the skin, mimicking the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs.
- Best For: Those with dry to normal skin types.
- Results: Natural and subtle with a hair-stroke effect.
- Longevity: Typically lasts 12-18 months with proper care.
Ombre Brows
Ombre Brows, is a shading technique that gives a defined, filled-in look, similar to the effect of brow makeup. This method uses a machine to implant pigment, creating a gradient from light to dark.
- Best For: All skin types, especially oily skin.
- Results: A more defined and fuller appearance with a gradient effect.
Combination Brows
Combination Brows offer the best of both worlds, combining the natural look of Microblading with the added definition of Ombre shading. This technique features hair strokes at the front of the brow and shading towards the tail.
- Best For: All skin types, particularly beneficial for those wanting a natural yet defined look.
- Results: A mix of natural hair strokes and a fuller, shaded finish.
