Question 1

What is permanent makeup?

Accepted Answer

Permanent and semi-permanent makeup is the implantation of pigment into the skin in specific areas to enhance a person’s natural features using a dermograph (permanent makeup techniques)  or a manual tool (microblading)(https://audreysemipermanent.com/services/eyebrow-pigmentation/).

Question 2

What is the difference between permanent and semi-permanent makeup?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is the level of pigment implantation in the skin and the pigment type used.
We prone semi-permanent techniques as we believe that everything permanent won’t age well into the skin over time. 
The intensity of the color and the saturation of the pigment (number of layers of implanted color) will affect the duration of the makeup. 
Intralash (https://audreysemipermanent.com/services/eye-pigmentation/)and eyeliner for the eyes are permanent techniques.

Question 3

What do I need to know before scheduling an appointment?

Accepted Answer

There are contraindications (see next question), so if you are taking any medication or have any health problems, please inform the technician of them.
A touch-up to maintain the result every year will be recommended.

Question 5

How to find the right pigmentation technician for you?

Accepted Answer

Each client requires a different treatment, approach and technique. It is important to know that each skin has a different texture and a different undertone of color to neutralize. There is no eyebrow that is the same or has the same measurement.
Training in permanent and semi-permanent makeup (https://audreysemipermanent.com/training/initial-training/)is not the subject of a single training. A technician in this field will need to seek out certain additions to their course such as a deeper knowledge in colorimetry, different style of hair placement to create more realistic effects, a lot of practice on practice skin before creating a facial feature that will stay for months on a client, etc.
Each technician has his/her own style, vision and care for their clients. Qualifications and priorities vary for each technician. Here are some tips to ask and validate this information with your technician during your search:
 • Ask and validate, if necessary, his or her qualifications to see if the techniques are up to date.
 • What is the experience with pain (especially for lip pigmentation), is an anaesthetic cream used
at the beginning of the procedure?
 • What kind of pigment is used, as some have the risk of staining the skin, including those with a
high concentration of ink or iron oxide? To learn more about pigments as a client, see the
question below.
 • At what level of implantation does the technician work at for the techniques you are interested
in?
 • And what do you need to do and/or know before the procedure?

Question 6

Why is permanent makeup not what it used to be?

Accepted Answer

The big difference with the permanent makeup technique of the past and the one of today is the depth of implantation, the pigments used and the innovative techniques. In the past, people sought makeup in the form of a tattoo which was a deep procedure and ink was in the skin.
The internet and social networks have revolutionized the technique of permanent makeup. Now innovation and related information are at our disposal and the means to learn from great international masters are much easier.
We now know how deep to go into the skin for the different effects desired. Pigments are either repelled by the skin, faded by the weather or digested by the body in the long term if a semi-permanent procedure has been opted for. And now, a Hair Effect or a discreet make-up effect is possible for a natural and semi-permanent effect.

Question 7

What should I know about touch-ups?

Accepted Answer

A touch-up included to an initial procedure is crucial to a beautiful long-term result. The technician can take into consideration the quality of healing your skin is taking. Perfecting the details of pigmentation and color will give a more beautiful effect, longer. For example, if the color turns slightly gray or red, you may not see it, but the technician will be able to detect it and modify the color so that you don’t have red or gray eyebrows in the long run. The same goes for a section where the pigment has not taken as well.
For yearly touch up  appointment: a touch-up to revive the color should be planned every 12 to 36 months depending on the color and the client’s desire.
Touch-ups consist of the same steps as the initial procedure.

Question 8

What affects the duration of pigmentation?

Accepted Answer

The type of skin; oily skin renews itself more quickly so the features created will fade more quickly.
The color used; the lighter the color, the faster the color will fade.
The maintenance; prolong the duration of your pigmentation by applying a sun protection before outdoor exposure and avoiding any AHA based product, fruit acid, exfoliating or for pigmentary spots.
Choosing the right technique for your skin type. Please refer to the description of the different techniques offered to know which clientele this one targets.
