Discover the beauty of Semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) at Rachel Rose Cosmetic Tattoo.
Semi-permanent makeup involves depositing pigments into the skin to enhance your natural features such as eyebrows, eyeliner and lips. Experience the convenience of waking up with flawless makeup everyday without actually having any on. Each Semi-permanent Makeup treatment is tailored uniquely for you.
Both methods are used to create semi-permanent makeup however both are very different. Microblading is a hand tool method, this is a hand held blade where the pigment is etched into the skin manually.
Machine brows are more like a traditional tattoo where a micropigmentation machine (tattoo pen) is used to implant the pigment. After years of working with both methods I decided to stop offering the microblading service. In my opinion machine brows are the way forward, there is less trauma to the skin, better healed results, increased longevity in retention, and overall better client satisfaction.
I genuinely have clients fall asleep on the couch, so I am pretty comfortable saying no, overall this treatment won't hurt like you may think.
You will be numbed throughout your treatment to ensure optimal comfort.
Colour is discussed during consultation, this will depend on your natural skin tones, hair colour, current makeup/powder colour and the outcome/look you would like. I always give a range of options and we test this on your skin before treatment starts to see how it will look.
Yes, I always draw on your new brows before we start, you will be mapped out to make sure your new brows are symmetrical, in the correct position and to check that you are happy with the new shape, thickness and style.
NO. Although to me this is a crazy question apparently some people are doing it. But I will NOT shave off your full natural brow hair. If there is hair underneath the new brow shape that will be removed but NOT your full brow hair.
Everyone retains pigment differently and a lot of lifestyle and other factors come into play however your new brows can last anything between 12-36 months. Some people like to get a yearly touch up to keep them fresh and perfected.
Everyone’s healing times can vary however the general healing phase will go something like this;
Day 1 - I love my new brows
Day 2-4 - Ohh they look a little dark and thick
Day 5-8 - Ok they’re flaking off now
Day 10-15 - Omg they’ve disappeared where have my brows gone?
Day 15-30 - Pheww they’re coming back but a little patchy
Day 30 - Touch up day. Omg my brows are perfect!
