The Pre-Draw.
THE MOST IMPORTANT STAGE
During the “pre-draw” is when the magic starts. The optimal shaping tehnique relies on each clients' facial proportions to create your perfect brows or lips. The golden ratio ensures the best possible symmetry and sculpts the most flattering shape of your brows, or perfect contour of your lips.
DOES SEMI PERMANEMT MAKE UP HURT?
Powder Brows: This depends on individual tolerance, some clients report experiencing minor discomfort or a scratching sensation for the first 5-10 minutes during the “first pass”. After the first pass, a highly effective anaesthetic gel numbs the entire area, ensuring you are 100% numb in under 5 minutes. The anaesthetic is topped up as necessary to guarantee your comfort throughout the procedure. Clients have been known to fall asleep.
Lip Blushing: As lips tend to be a more sensitive area than brows, a topical pre-numbing cream is applied 45mins before the first pass.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
Time can vary for each client, from 1.5 hours – 3 hours.
HOW LONG DOES SEMI PERMANENT MAKE UP LAST?
1 -3 years (results vary)
LETS TALK TOP UPS/ COLOUR REFRESH TREATEMENTS
Top Ups are important because depending on individual healing results, your pigment will fade over time. Top ups are required every 1-3 years to refresh your colour and keep your semi-permanent makeup looking fresh, more defined and generally on point.
