Will you draw in the shapes first and go through colours?
Yes. Before going ahead with any new treatment, Charlotte spends around 30 minutes choosing the perfect colour to compliment skin tone. Charlotte uses a wide range of award winning pigments. Charlotte will then measure the perfect shape to suit your facial features. Everyone’s face is different so each brow is bespoke to the client. Charlotte will not go ahead with the treatment until you are completely happy with shape and colour.

What if I cannot attend my appointment anymore?

 My eyebrows seemed to have disappeared or have patches, what do I do?
Please do not panic! This is an expected part of the healing process. As the pigment heals through the different layers of the skin it can sometimes seem to fade away. The colour will then push back through over the next 4-6 weeks. The area can take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. If you experience colour unevenness remember a retouch visit is offered to new clients.

 

How long will it last?
Permanent makeup usually lasts 12–18 months depending on the individuals skin, age group, lifestyle, medications as well as aftercare. Exposure to the sun may also fade permanent makeup. Colour boosts are required to help minimise the colour change that can occur from the above factors.

​

What is the difference between microblading and semi-permanent makeup?

 

Semi-permanent makeup 
Also known as micro pigmentation, this method uses a medical grade specialist machine to gently implant pigment into the skin using a variety of sterile needles depending on the look required. With this method you can create fine hair stroke brows, a powder shaded brow, lip and eyeliner treatments.
 

Microblading

A pen like device with a disposable configuration of tiny needles creating a blade is used to gently glide over the skin creating tiny scratches in the form of hair strokes into the skin. The pigment is then laid over the hair strokes. The outcome will leave you with sharp crisp hair strokes to give an ultra-realistic look.

Both microblading and digital method allow you to have fine natural hair strokes. As an eyebrow specialist during your consultation Charlotte will be analysing your skin type and facial characteristics and discussing what you would like to achieve before deciding on which method of is suitable for you.
