Tattoo Make Up
ou may have heard the words
‘semi-permanent make up’ and
Ywondered what the hype is about.
Semi-permanent make up involves a tiny
pen-like needle that deposits pigment into the
upper layers of the skin and is specifically
designed to fade over time. It can be applied to
eyebrows, lips and as eyeliner.
Liner is perfect for creating the illusion of
thicker, darker lashes and more defined eyes.
Expertly applied eyeliner enhancement is the
perfect solution, giving a professional make up
results, with a choice of top, bottom or both lids.
Lip blush is perfect for restoring shape and
fullness lost with age and
can transform thin or
uneven lips.
Brow treatment is
perfect for brows that
have thinned out over
time or if you want to
wake up in the morning without having to put
make up through them.
Throughout the consultation and on the day of
treatment, recommendations and advice will be
made, but you have the final decision and total
control over your new look.
Semi-permanent make up means that you will
always have make up on your skin; you will notice
the colour gradually softening.

ABOUT THE WRITER
Beverley Watson is a director
and therapist at Revive.
She has 23 years experience
in the beauty industry,
including seven years as a
lecturer and assessor.
Skilled in all aspects of
beauty, HD Pro Brow stylist,
semi-permanent make up
therapist, and nouveau
contour qualified.
Top-ups are recommended for those who want
to keep their semi-permanent make up looking
as fresh as possible and this would generally be
every 12-18 months.
Some factors that influence the fading of the
semi-permanent make up are body chemistry,
skin cellular turnover and some anti-ageing
products and exposure to sunlight can have
an effect.
A little discomfort is expected... described as a
vibration and scratchy sensation. Some areas
are more sensitive, however topical anaesthetic
cream is applied to the skin before the treatment
to make it as comfortable as possible.
The majority can immediately return to work
and continue with
their day following the
treatment. Some may
experience slight swell-
ing after the treatment,
that usually goes down
within an hour or so.
For approximately five to seven days following
the treatment the skin will produce small scabs
which will then come away, leaving the healed
pigment colour.
All pigment colours will fade up to 40% once
healed, from immediately after the treatment.
A healing balm is given to apply to the area
during the healing process.
