~Eyebrows~

NANO`STROKES

Everyone knows about microblading, it’s a technique that has gained immense popularity in recent years. Thanks to it, many women got their eyebrows back after over-plucking them or losing them due to medical treatment. However, microblading comes with a few disadvantages, including blurry lines and discoloration. That’s why nano strokes are taking over.

Nanoblading, or nano strokes, is very similar to microblading as both procedures use fine needles and pigment in order to create natural-looking hair strokes. But since nano strokes are created with super-sharp and thin needles, that results in more precise strokes. Also, the finer pigment is used, which means both the color and the shape look more natural.

​Powder Brow 

WHAT ARE POWDER BROWS?

Powder brows is a cosmetic semi permanent makeup technique designed to create eyebrows with soft powder effect, very similar to powder makeup. Powder effect is done with a shading technique using a permanent makeup device, which is similar to a tattoo gun.

​WHO IS IT FOR ?

For clients who draw on their eyebrows every day, this can be an amazing, beautiful solution. It is also a great alternative for clients that are not good candidates for Microblading or Combo Brows because their skin is too oily as shading is suitable for any skin type!

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED FOR POWDER BROWS ?

Our customers often have great healed results after one session with shading. A touch up “perfecting session” after 6-8 weeks to ensure your brows are perfect and the color is even throughout the whole eyebrow or if for any reason you want to add more density to them.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY NEW POWDER BROWS?

We recommend yearly touch up, after the initial complementary touchup, to maintain the crispness and freshness of the color. Natural fading occurs from external factors such as exposure to the sun as well as internal factors such as the gradual break down of pigments as your body metabolizes it out of your system. Everyone can experience the fading process differently and it really comes down to skin type and lifestyle.

Ombre Brow

(makeup brow Light bulb to dark tail)

What Are Ombré Brows? 

Ombré brows is a brow style that uses ombré shading, a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that uses a small machine to place extremely thin dots of pigment into the skin, creating a soft-shaded brow pencil look.

​Combo Brows

 (hair strokes and powder) 

is a form of permanent makeup (cosmetic tattoo), where both the Microblading technique and Powder/shading are combined. This technique is great for those who have sparse eyebrows, little to no hair, or those who simply want to add definition to their eyebrows and arch

​*Pigment retention depends on skin type, age, aftercare, sun exposure, use of certain skin products, pigments used, immune system, medications and other factors. Touch ups are recommended once a year to prevent natural fading.*

​Eyeliner tattoo

is a form of cosmetic tattooing, often referred to as semi-permanent makeup, that is done by a trained technician.
The pigment used is very different from body tattooing ink and is only deposited on the first layer of skin. The colour is designed to fade over time, hence the term ‘semi-permanent’. This allows for face changes, ageing and trends.
The tattoo is applied to the lash line, and can be applied as a fine, thin, or medium to thick eye-liner style.

Benefits of Eyeliner Tattoo

There are many benefits to eyeliner tattooing, including:

• It’s smudge-proof and waterproof

• It accentuates your eye shape and colour without the need for traditional makeup eyeliner.

• You don’t need to apply eyeliner every day!

              What’s The Difference Between Cosmetic Tattooing and A Traditional Tattoo?

       Although the process is similar to getting a regular tattoo, there are some key differences:

• Eyeliner tattoo is only applied to the first layers of skin, so the colour fades over time. Traditional skin tattoo ink goes much deeper into the skin.

• It is only semi-permanent, lasting approximately 12-18 months, with a yearly ‘touch up’ usually required

• It is less painful than a regular skin art tattoo

• Cosmetic tattoo inks contain less of a metal base, which is the component that allows ink to permanently adhere.

                                                                             Eyeliner Tattoo Styles

There are four different eyeliner styles you can choose between, along with extra trendy options such as ‘wings’.

1. Eyelash enhancement: Super Subtle

   Eyelash enhancement is a very subtle tattoo application and it can be done in two different ways – as either a thin line that does not leave the lash area or as a dot next to each eyelash. This makes your eyelashes look longer and thicker.

    

2. Thin eyeliner: Subtle but impactful

   Thin eyeliner application can still make your eyes pop, whilst keeping a more ‘natural’ look. It’s a great option for those that want a thin eyeliner line, with the option of building it up further with makeup.

    

3. Medium-width eyeliner: Bold

   A medium-width eyeliner is perfect for women who wear makeup every day and want a look that makes their eyes bold but still relatively natural.

    

4. Thick eyeliner: Super-Bold 

   Thick eyeliner is not for everyone. For those who wear thick makeup and eyeliner daily, this will give you a permanently bold eyeliner look.

    

Wings
Wings are more of a ‘trend’ style, however, you need to be very careful about doing wings as there is a 'no go' zone where glands are located on the inner and outer edges of the eye. If you tattoo in this area, because of the small molecules in the pigment, it's possible to get migration of colour and spreading, which is very bad and impossible to remove. Wings are also hard to maintain as your eyes change with age.

Eyeliner Colour

You can choose from traditional colours of brown and black, to more adventurous colours such as green, blue and violet.
If you are considering a more bold colour, don’t forget that you have to be happy with this eyeliner colour every day for the next 1-2 years!
Most people stick with a conservative black or brown and your technician can give you expert advice on what will work best with your eyes and skin tone.

Preparation Before Your Procedure

• Lash Extensions

  You need to remove lash extensions at least one to two days – or ideally a week – before your procedure to give lash extension glue time to disappear. Even small amounts of lash glue can interfere with the application of ink. You can reapply your lash extensions once your tattoo has healed.

   

• Natural Blood Thinners

  Stop taking as aspirin, fish oil, and other ‘natural’ products that thin the blood for at least three days prior to your procedure. If you take prescription blood thinners,

• consult your doctor for advice.

  ​

• Remove contact lenses before your procedure, and don’t put them back in until any tenderness or redness has vanished.

   

• Consult a doctor

  If you are on any prescription medications, consult a doctor prior to your procedure.

   

• Follow-up and Maintenance Appointments:

   

• Your eyeliner will lighten and soften after healing. Since it is always best to be conservative, if your eyeliner heals lighter or thinner than you desire, it can be darkened or thickened at your follow-up visit (second application). Ideally, your follow-up should be completed 6 to 8 weeks post procedure. Because permanent makeup can fade over time, you can schedule maintenance visits every few years to keep your color looking fresh.

   

~Lip~

Permanent Makeup can enhance your lips so they appear youthful, fuller with no more lipstick bleeding, smudging and having to reapply throughout the day.  The effects of permanent lip enhancements can dramatically restore the shape and natural color of lips, improve definition, add fullness and correct asymmetrical lip shape, recreate a favorite lip color, correct many imperfections caused by cold sores and scarring.

LipBlushing

 is semi-permanent, tattooed makeup that tints your lips using a cosmetic tattoo gun (on a low setting) and water-based inks. The result is kind of similar to lip fillers—in that your lips will look a little fuller simply by being defined and enhanced with pigment—but lip blushing won’t actually change the shape or feeling of your lips. Instead, it’ll just leave you with a soft, shaded-in color that can enhance your lip symmetry, cover uneven pigmentation or scars, and give you the illusion of bigger, fuller lips​

Ombre Lip Color

Ombre lip color is a technique that create a 3D lip more define and natural look.  

​​​Preparing for Your Procedure Appointment:​

You should allow at least 3 hours for your initial procedure. If you remove facial hair around your lips by tweezing, shaving, threading, or waxing, that should be done a few days before your appointment. Electrolysis or laser hair removal should be completed 5 to 7 days before. You should wear and bring your favorite color lipstick or lip pencil for color matching. Additional preparation guidelines will be given to you when you schedule your procedure appointment.

If you are planning a lip color procedure and have ever experienced a cold sore, even one time in your life, it is recommended you obtain a prescribed anti-viral medication (Valtrex 2000mg).  The medication must be taken the day before and the day of your treatment.  Even if you have never experienced a cold sore during your lifetime, it is recommended that you obtain an anti-viral medication (Valtrex) to be on the safe side.

​​During Your Permanent Lip Color Procedure:​

You will fill out forms including a medical history the artist will review. She will evaluate the shape of your face and lips including their symmetry and fullness, The artist will discuss techniques and colors with you. After the best design and color have been determined, a topical anesthetic will be applied to numb your lips. The final pattern will then be drawn and approved by you as the template will follow during your procedure. She will continue to apply anesthetics during the process to keep you comfortable. Before and after photos will also be taken for your confidential file with your colors recorded for future references.

​​After Your Permanent Lip Color Procedure:​

You lips may be temporarily swollen or tender right after your procedure.  Your lip color will definitely be brighter and darker than what you want. It will lighten a lot after your lips heal 5 to 7 days. The color will continue to soften and stabilize over the next several weeks. Your lips may be bright and slightly larger than normal (from swelling) during the first week of healing, so you should keep this in mind when scheduling your procedure. 

​​Follow-up and Maintenance Appointments:​

Your lips will gradually lighten, and the color will stabilize over several weeks following your procedure. Lip tissue is different from regular skin, so it loses the most color following an initial tattooing procedure. Your lips will probably heal lighter than you want, but they can be darkened with a second application of pigment at a follow-up visit (“touch-up”). A follow-up might be needed to adjust shape or add color to areas that healed lighter from tissue swelling and bleeding during the tattooing process. Ideally, your second visit should be completed between 6 to 8 weeks post procedure. Because permanent makeup can fade over time, you can schedule maintenance visits every few years to keep your color looking fresh.
