Permanent Makeup | The facts you need to know

What is it?

A cosmetic tattooing technique adding pigment to the skin to enhance the look of eyebrows or lips. These procedures are commonly referred to as microblading, ombre brows, powder brows and lip blushing. Fine Line Seattle also offers permanent makeup to enhance the lash line or simulate hair follicles.  

Does the application hurt?

A topical anesthetic cream is used during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible. Some clients find the procedure a little uncomfortable while others report no discomfort at all.

What types of pigments do you use?

We use synthesized iron oxide pigments (to ensure a high level of purity) that will fade over time and are naturally absorbed by the skin. Iron oxides are innocuous, harmless and perfectly safe for your skin.

How do you choose a color?

We choose a color together by applying small amounts of different coloured pigments to the skin near to your brows and selecting the best match for your skin tone, features and personal preference. As a rule of thumb, we closely match the color of your brow hair rather than your current hair color for the most natural results.

Will my microbladed brows look fake?

NO! Permanent makeup is done using a cosmetic tattooing process and our unique eyebrow pigmentation artistry guarantees soft, natural looking eyebrows. When we implant semi-permanent makeup pigment in the skin, it appears more natural looking than topically applied cosmetics.

How long can I expect it to last?

The pigment used can last between 1-3 years. The pigment will begin to fade within 12 months. In order to keep your brows looking fresh, a touch up is recommended every 12 months to 24 months. After 2 years, full price for microblading will apply. Clients who did not follow the after care instructions properly may require more frequent touch ups.

What causes the permanent makeup to fade faster?

•Sun exposure

•Exfoliants

•Exposure to salt water
•Smoking
