Cosmetic tattooing is similar to traditional tattoo practise where pigment is deposited into the skin. However the techniques and pigments have significantly improved over the years. The pigment is deposited precisely into the epidermis (the uppermost layer of the skin), less deep than you would for permanent tattoos. This give crisp, defined and vibrant results. We now use powdered pigments that are stable mitigating colour change issues.

Brow Artistry
Microblading or Microshading?
Microblading uses a manual tool, a row of tiny needles, to create fine lines to mimic hairstrokes whereas micropigmentation uses a cosmetic tattoo machine and a fine needle cartridge to deposit the pigment. Which one depends on which style of brows you choose. Microshading goes slightly deeper than microblading, leading to more longevity.
The Procedure
Your desired brow shape is drawn with pencil and adjusted until you absolutely are happy with it. We work with you, tailoring your brow shape to suit your face shape and unique features.
Topical anaesthesia is applied to ensure as much comfort as possible.
The work begins. Pigment is artfully placed over the shape drawn in by pencil via microblading or micropigmentation. Topical anaesthesia can also be applied during the procedure to ensure minimal pain.
You wake up from your beauty sleep 2 hours later. Aftercare instructions are provided and you will be asked to come back for a touch-up appointment in 6 weeks.
Browsing for brows
Commonly known as microblading, the hair stroke brow is created by crisp fine lines following the natural brow hairs
∙ Very natural
∙ More touch-ups needed
∙ Not ideal for all skin types
∙ Not as good for coverups
A gradient of colour with the front of the brow being lighter at the front, darker and defined at the ends
∙ The “makeup” look
∙ Less touch-ups needed
∙ Less scarring
∙ Good for all skin types
∙ Good for coverups
A hybrid of hair strokes and ombré, the best of both worlds, a balance of natural and emphasis
∙ Great for added density and extra fluff
∙ Beautiful result
∙ Front require more touch-ups than ends
Perks of semi-permanent makeup
Although they say eyebrows are sisters not twins, sometimes they can look like distant cousins and we spend far too much precious snooze time in the mornings trying to perfect them. Only to have them washed off by the rain and sweat by mid-afternoon.
So the fuss free brows are great but what about style and flexibility? We know 1-2 years may be too much of a commitment for a brow shape so we lean towards the natural side. You can always enhance your shape or depth with brow powder on those special days.
Because of the convenience, flexibility and style, semi-permanent brows are one of most coveted beauty treatments of today.
