Beautiful Permanent Makeup FAQs

At Beautiful Permanent Makeup, we want you to feel confident and informed before your appointment. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about our permanent makeup services.

What is permanent makeup (micropigmentation)?

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances features such as brows, lash lines, and lips using safe, long-lasting pigments.

How long does a permanent makeup session take?

Session length varies depending on the treatment area and individual factors, but most appointments take between 1.5 to 3 hours.

Is the pigment used safe?

Yes. We use professional-grade, hypoallergenic pigments that are specifically formulated for cosmetic tattooing and are FDA approved.

Does the procedure hurt?

Discomfort is minimal. We use high-quality numbing agents to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the process.

What’s the healing process like?

Slight redness or swelling may occur initially. The pigment settles over the next 1–2 weeks, with full healing taking about 4–6 weeks.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Results can last from 1 to 3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Touch-ups are recommended to keep your results fresh.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Avoid caffeine or alcohol before your session, arrive with a clean face, and let your artist know about any medications or skin conditions.

Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?

Anyone wanting to save time, enhance their natural features, or restore definition to sparse brows, lips, or lash lines can benefit from permanent makeup.

Are there conditions that prevent treatment?

Certain medical conditions, recent Botox or fillers, pregnancy, or active skin issues around the area may require postponement or medical clearance.

What’s included in the service cost?

Your service includes the initial treatment, numbing, aftercare instructions, and a follow-up touch-up within the specified timeframe.

When should I get a touch-up?

A follow-up is typically scheduled 6–8 weeks after your first session to perfect the shape and color. Annual maintenance may be recommended.

What aftercare is required?

Avoid sweating, swimming, sun exposure, and makeup on the treated area for at least 7–10 days. Follow all aftercare instructions for best results.

What are the possible side effects?

Minor redness or swelling is normal. Rarely, allergic reactions or pigment fade can occur. Following proper aftercare minimizes these risks.

Can I still wear regular makeup?

Yes. Once healed, you can wear makeup over or around the treated area, though many clients find they need less.

Can I get permanent makeup if I’ve had fillers or Botox?

Yes, but it’s best to wait until the skin has fully settled after your cosmetic treatments

What if I’m not happy with my result?

We include a touch-up session to refine color or shape. Further adjustments or removal referrals can be discussed if needed.

Does permanent makeup look natural?

Yes. Our skilled artist designs each enhancement to complement your features for a natural, polished look.

How do I choose the right color and shape?

During your consultation, we’ll map your features and select pigments that complement your skin tone and style preferences.

Can I go in the sun or swim after treatment?

Avoid sun exposure, pools, and saunas for 1–2 weeks. These can cause premature fading or irritation.
