What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent Makeup is a cosmetic technique that involves depositing pigments into the skin’s dermal layer to enhance facial features. It is commonly used to mimic the look of makeup on eyebrows, eye-line, and lips.

A Walkthrough of your Appointment

We will start your appointment off with a consultation to go over a gameplan for your brows or lips. I often will recommend certain services depending on your skin type or desired results. We then take some before pictures—I take before and after photos for all my clients. After our consult, we will begin mapping and go over color. I encourage clients to come to appointments with a picture or makeup tool to help paint a picture of what they are looking for. Once we agree on a shape and color, we will begin with the service (Microblading, Powder Brow, Combo Brow, or Lip Blushing).

A word from our Artist…

Hello All,

Lulu here. I wanted to take a moment to share a little about myself and my journey to changing the world one brow at a time…

Unrelated to what I do now, I actually graduated college with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. I’ve always loved beauty, but never believed it was something I could do as a profession. One day, I was working my normal 8-5 in STEM, and I had this sudden enlightenment affirming how unfilled my soul felt in my current path. I instantly called my boss and quit, enrolled in classes for Microblading (all in the same day), and never looked back! I am obsessed with my job and genuinely want to make people feel empowered and beautiful. In my spare time, I enjoy hosting get-togethers with my friends, all things skin-care and beauty, feng shui-ing, and long, luxurious bubble bathes! I always say yes to a gooey chocolate-chip cookie, and I love warm, fuzzy hugs!

I am humbled everyday by my amazing clients and have so much gratitude for the impact they have made on my life. I want to encourage everyone to invest in yourself, make the change, and take the leap. There is nothing more inspiring than living the best, most confident version of yourself.

FAQs

  • Permanent Brow Makeup is great for someone who has experienced hair loss and wants to achieve a natural looking brow. It’s also great for overplucked, scarce, or unsymmetrical eyebrows or people who want to wear less makeup, clients that are outdoors often or people that exercise (sweat-proof brow) often.

  • Although its referred to as ‘Permenent Makeup’, its actually semi-permanent. It typically lasts 18-30 months with touch-ups/color boosts recomended once-twice a year. Avoiding extreme sun exposure, applying a daily SPF, following proper pre and post care, and avoiding harsh exfoliants or chemicals can help extend the life of your brows.

  • It is recommended to avoid working out 7 days following your appointment. Light exercise is allowed (minimal sweating), but you must clean the tattooed area with lukewarm water as soon as you are done. The salt in sweat will fade the pigment quicker and effect your healed results.

  • As a precaution to avoid any complications, I do not perform cosmetic tattooing on pregnant women.

  • Microblading is typically commended as more painful than the other services. I usually describe Microblading similar to a cat scratch. I do apply numbing cream during the procedure to help make you as comfortable as possible, but the numbing is usually more effective after the first pass on the skin. Lip Blushing is numbed prior to any tattooing and is typically painless.

  • Please contact Brows By Lulu to see if your brows are ready for another appointment. In some cases, we might recommend laser removal in order to book an appointment.
