Semi-Permanent Make Up

Why SPMU?

Semi-Permanent Make Up at Brows Ink. allows you to have perfect eyes, lips and brows for up to three years. Also known as ‘cosmetic tattooing’, these treatments are perfect for anyone who:

Does not have the time or inclination to refresh their make up
Loves to look good as soon as they wake up
Regularly swims, goes to the gym or does sports
Is allergic to or sensitive to traditional make up
Has a visual impairment or dexterity issue which prevents them applying their own make up

What is SPMU?

Semi-permanent make up (SPMU), also referred to as 'tattooed' make-up, is a process similar to getting a regular body art tattoo.

The treatment is called SPMU because the pigment (ink) will remain in the skin for an indefinite period of time, but the longevity of the colour and its visibility will eventually fade over a period of time, depending on the treated area of the face.

How does it differ from a regular tattoo?

The main difference between conventional tattoo ink and pigments used for SPMU is that tattoo ink is formulated differently and penetrates the skin much deeper than make-up pigments. Another key difference is that the SPMU needle only penetrates the skin very superficially given the delicate anatomy of the face.

Get the look you desire!

Esther is experienced in creating perfect eyebrows, lash liners and lips by carefully planting carefully selected coloured pigments into the skin. Other semi-permanent facial treatments are also available at the Brows Ink. studio, including beauty spots and freckles.

All pigment will begin to fade over time as the skin exfoliates, a colour boost is therefore recommended at least once every 12 months or so. Helping to maintain colour density, a periodic maintenance visit will ensure you get the most out of the initial procedure, whilst also providing you with handy maintenance tips which will help you with the general upkeep and appearance of your semi-permanent make up.

BROWS

Semi-Permanent Brows

Semi-permanent brows are usually preferred by clients who already have fuller brows or are keen on bold brows. They also yield very good results on oily and combination t-zones as well as being suitable for darker skin tones. This treatment can last between 1-3 years and an annual colour boost may be required to maximise colour retention and overall appearance.

Microshading

Microshading is a soft powdered (or make up) look from the bulb of the brow through to the arch and down to the tail, creating ultimate definition. This is the boldest of all the brow looks offered at Brows Ink.

Combination Brows

Combination Brows are by far the most popular semi-permanent brow treatment in the studio as they combine the benefits of both Microblading and Microshading. This premium technique utilises the precision that is achievable through Microblading (ultra-fine hair-like strokes, at the bulb if the brow) and the definition that comes with Microshading. These two methods are carefully blended together to achieve the ultimate, flawless power brow!

Lash Liner

Top lash liner,
...or both?

Semi-permanent lash liner is used to define your eyes giving your face an instant lift and depth of expression. If you are a daily eyeliner user and you want to save time, or you are not able to apply it as precisely as you would like then this may be the solution for you.

This is a very popular treatment option as it defines lashes and makes them appear darker and fuller. It is a very subtle look and ideal for daily use. It is a lot thinner than traditional eyeliner as the procedure is done by adding the pigment between individual lashes, as opposed to the eyelid itself so as to darken the client's natural lash line. This treatment can last between 1-3 years and a small annual Colour Boost may be required.

LIPS

Lip Liner & Blush

The lip liner & blush treatment includes a liner application and as well as shading of the entire lip area with the same pigment (colour) leaving a beautiful, powdered base tone to enjoy every day, whilst being completely lipstick free! There are many colour options you can choose from, the lighter the colour you choose the sooner you may require.

Lip Liner

Semi-permanent lip liner is designed to define the lips making them appear fuller by outlining the border and correcting any unevenness that may be present.

What you need to know...

In terms of colour options, some clients choose nude or soft pink tones as they like the 'natural' look whilst still having the option to apply a darker make-up on top. A top tip is that a slightly darker tone may be more beneficial as they will gradually fade leaving you with the colour you originally wanted.
