what is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup (also known as micropigmentation) consists of implanting natural pigments under the superficial layers of the skin by means of a small, sterile micro-needle, to create lasting cosmetic definition of the lips, eyes, and eyebrows. Permanent makeup is used for aesthetic purposes to enhance, contour, and outline facial features but also used correctively, in areas where hair or colour is missing.

is permanent makeup similar to tattooing?
It has some of the same qualities, yet it is very different. Only specialists in micro-pigmentation can perform this procedure on the face; tattoo artists cannot. Studio 6 uses only the techniques, tools, and pigments specifically designed for micro-pigmentation procedures, making it safe, sterile, and mostly painless. Permanent makeup technicians also use effective topical anaesthetics that are not allowed for use by tattoo artists. Studio 6 uses instruments much more delicate in design that provide natural-looking results.
Eyeliner is fairly quick to heal. You will notice tiny black flakes coming off and dropping on to your lashes from day 3, and depending on your personal healing, you should be ready for a touch of mascara on your lash ends from day 4.
Eyebrows take roughly 5 - 7 days to heal. 3 or 4 days to scab over, and then another few days for the scabs to start to drop off naturally.
