SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT ME!

Permanent makeup also known as cosmetic tattooing is a safe and natural-looking alternative to the expense and daily routine of applying makeup upon waking in the morning and often times throughout the day.

It’s a state-of-the-art technique of permanently applying makeup via micropigmentation. Specially formulated pigments are deposited into the facial skin over 1-2 sessions using a soft layering technique to create the most natural looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions

DOES IT HURT?

It is completely normal to feel anxious about the procedures. We use a range of topical anaesthetics to ensure that you are as relaxed as possible during the treatment and that any discomfort is kept to an absolute minimum. Most clients describe the sensation as ‘tingling vibrations’ rather than pain and many fall asleep during the procedure.

WHO CAN HAVE THE TREATMENT?

Providing that there are no medical contraindications, anyone over the age of 18 can have permanent make up. We will send out medical forms and a patch test before the procedure and can discuss the results during your consultation.

IS IT PERMANENT?

The pigment will affect everyone differently depending on skin tone, sun exposure, lifestyle and medication. The treatments can last several years but due to the elements listed above we do recommend an annual maintenance appointment.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Procedures vary in length and can range from between 90 minutes to 3 hours, we are happy to discuss this during your consultation.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE TREATMENT?

Please do not have any Botox, filler or lash/brow tinting or perming for 4 weeks before and after the treatment, please remove contact lenses before any lash enhancements. We will send out a welcome pack which includes full pre and post treatment instructions.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

Following the treatment you may experience some redness and swelling, the skin may flake from around day 4 – this can be minimized by applying the ointment. The pigment will appear darker and more defined on the day of and the day after the treatment and will reduce by up to 50% once the skin has completely healed. We recommend attending the Perfecting Touch-Up visit (between 8 weeks post treatment) to assess how the pigment has settled and any touch ups that are required.

"I am over the moon with my semi permanent makeup by Brittany. She made me feel very relaxed, reassured me about how it would feel and made me very comfortable throughout my whole treatment. What a difference when you get up in the morning with your eyeliner and lipstick on. Will definitely recommend Brittany to everyone."

Christine

"Brittany has been absolutely lovely throughout, very professional, very knowledgeable and he made me feel confident in her ability - whilst being caring and considerate throughout her treatment. I would 100% recommend Brittany to anyone considering semi-permanent makeup - whether it be brows, lips or eyeliner." 

J.R.

"Absolutely over the moon. Brittany was made for this and it shines through her work. She talked me through each stage of the treatment and made me feel so comfortable from my initial consultation onwards. Thank you so much Brittany, highly recommended!"

"AMAZING. I have the most incredible eyebrows now, I wake up every day with perfect brows. My hairdresser even thought I had Botox as I look years younger! Couldn't be happier!"
