PERMALounge

Permanent makeup doesn’t need to be extremely noticeable.

It should be soft and subtle.

It should complement you.

It should be almost undetectable.

Don’t be afraid of permanent makeup. Just make sure you do your research and you will be fine ♥️

I’ve been a little absent on posting lately. I go through phases like this every once in a while…But just because I’m not posting does not mean I am not working I try to be will be more consistent this month 🫣😅

I always hated posting on my personal page so it’s translating to this one and I know how important it is. Thank you for being patient with me and all the support ♥️

Do you need the lash lift? No

Should you get the lash lift. Yes

I cannot believe how long these lashes were! 🤯

Perfectly placed for 6-8 weeks. Who wants one?

I don’t get a lot of clients that want a big fluffy brow so I was very excited about these!!

Thank you for trusting me with your permanent makeup HUNTERSVILLE ESTHETICIAN | ACNE SPECIALIST

Now she can just put chapstick or a gloss on and go ♥️

Minimal swelling.

I do find that lipblush is the most uncomfortable service I offer. Most people feel more with this procedure than any other service I offer. I try to keep you as comfortable as possible with topical numbing. However there are so many nerve endings and blood vessels here which do cause extra sensitivity.

I like being honest about the pain levels as well as the entire process. I recently started using Hanafy pigments and the color retention has been incredible. No more 40-60% fade. These babies stay. Stay tuned for the heal.

Yes you can see the previous permanent makeup on her right eye after I did mine.

She can easily cover this with concealer.

It will fade in time.

If I went over that wing placement it would have drooped her eye down to an unflattering shape.

I made a judgement call and showed her how to cover the other wing if she wished. I truly believe I made the right decision for her.

She’s young and has a hooded lid. I want to lift the eye as much as possible when tattooing eyeliner. As she ages I don’t want it to go below her bottom eyelid.

Next time she visits her family I will do her touchup and she will be good to go for years.

I hate seeing work that gives PMU a bad name. It makes it harder for artists that truly care about their clients to do their job properly.

Cover ups take more time and aren’t always going to give you the exact look you want but they are always an improvement.

I’m going to say something that some people might not want to hear…

The better shape your skin is in when you come to me for a tattoo… the better it will heal.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Over the years I am noticing that the clients that have amazing retention are the clients that have great skin too.

And no, age is not a factor.

If you come to me with an impaired barrier and you don’t have a regular skincare routine you stick to, I can tell. And the results show it too.

This doesn’t mean you need a 10 step routine but washing and moisturizing 2x a day is the minimum requirement to have a healthy barrier and have your results look better.

If you’re thinking of getting permanent makeup and you aren’t in a routine yet, before investing in PMU, start taking care of your skin. It’s the largest organ in your body. It protects you. It deserves your attention before I can give you what you’re hoping to achieve.

If you’re an artist, have you noticed this too? Lmk in the comments! I would love your opinion on the topic!

Lip neutralization

If you have dark pigmented lips that you would like to adjust the color on this is something that can be done however it is a process.

This takes patience and open communication between the client as well as with me.

I need you to be honest about what you are looking for, and I will be honest about expectations.

This client originally came to me and wanted all of her lips to be one shade of a peachy hue. She recently had her makeup professionally done and had a dark brown lip liner applied so she wanted this to be added at her yearly touchup.

If I would have known this, when I originally took on this client, I would not have gone about the procedure the way I did last year.

Her top lip was already naturally darker than her bottom lip and in the picture she showed me, the artist did more of a two tone look on her that she loved. I would not have added so much color to the top initially if I had known this was the look she was going for.

At this touchup I focused mainly on the bottom lip, adding a brighter color to neutralize her natural pigmentation. Then on the top I only focused on the border, to darken that back up. I gave her the liner around both top and bottom, however, I did not add any more neutralization color to the top as it is already much lighter than it was previously, and she is now wanting that two tone look

It is very important to understand that once I add color to your lips, there’s not much I can do if you want to change that, so being open, honest and realistic about what lip blushing can do is the way to go. You can always add lipstick if you’re going out for an even, lip blushing is meant to enhance what you naturally have for an everyday color not to replace your bold nighttime dramatic makeup look.
