General Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup (PMU) is generally safe when performed by a trained and licensed professional using sterile equipment and medical-grade pigments. Clients with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, lupus, autoimmune disorders, or pacemakers, should consult their physician before booking.
Allergic reactions are uncommon. Blushed Studios uses medical-grade, vegan, and hypoallergenic pigments. If you have known allergies to metals, pigments, or lidocaine, consult your physician before treatment.

Nano Brows & Powder Brows
Nano Brows use a digital machine with an ultra-fine needle to create realistic hair strokes. Powder Brows use soft shading to create a filled-in makeup effect.
Nano Brows are ideal for clients with normal to dry skin who want a natural hair-stroke appearance.
Powder Brows are recommended for oily or acne-prone skin, clients with sparse brows, or anyone wanting a soft makeup look.
Yes. Combo Brows combine Nano hair strokes with Powder Brow shading to create extra depth and definition.
Nano Brows are created using a digital machine, while Microblading uses a manual blade. Nano Brows are generally less invasive and provide more precise, natural-looking results.
No. Blushed Studios specialises exclusively in Nano Brows.
Microblading is more invasive and may cause additional skin trauma, scarring, and less predictable healing. Nano Brows offer more consistent and natural results.
Nano Brows are widely considered the more advanced technique because they create finer strokes, heal more consistently, and are suitable for a wider range of skin types.
Powder Brows are an excellent option for clients with sparse or no eyebrow hair, creating a soft, fuller appearance.
Avoid waxing or plucking immediately before your appointment. If needed, shape your brows at least three days beforehand.
Lip Blush
Yes, but Lip Blush can trigger an outbreak. Clients prone to cold sores should take L-Lysine supplements and may require antiviral medication prescribed by their doctor.
Appointments must be rescheduled if an active cold sore is present.
Yes. Lip Blush should be scheduled at least four weeks before or after filler treatments.
Mild swelling and tenderness are normal for approximately 24 hours.

Yes. Avoid spicy, salty, oily, and acidic foods during the first few days to minimise irritation.
The healing process is an important part of achieving beautiful, natural-looking permanent brows. Your brows will go through several changes as your skin heals and the pigment settles.
Days 1-2:
Your brows will appear darker and slightly bolder than expected. This is completely normal and part of the healing process.Days 3-4:
The skin around your brows may begin to feel dry or tight as it starts to heal.Days 5-7:
You may notice light flaking or peeling. Some clients experience more flaking, while others barely flake at all. Avoid picking or scratching your brows to allow proper healing.Days 7-14: The Ghosting Phase
Your brows may appear much lighter, patchy, or as if the color has faded or disappeared. Don’t worry, this is a normal part of healing and does not mean the pigment is gone.Weeks 3-6:
As your skin continues to heal, the color will gradually return and soften, creating a more natural-looking result.Remember, Nano Brows, Powder Brows, and Combination Brows are a two-session process. Your touch-up appointment allows us to perfect the shape and color once your brows have fully healed, typically around 4–8 weeks after your initial appointment.
The healing process is an important part of achieving beautiful, natural-looking Lip Blush results. Your lips will go through several changes as they heal and the pigment settles into the skin.
Days 1-2:
Your lips may appear brighter, darker, or more intense than expected. Some swelling, tenderness, and sensitivity are normal. Swelling typically decreases within the first 24–48 hours as your lips begin to heal.Days 3-5:
Your lips may begin to feel dry or tight as they heal. Some clients experience peeling or flaking during this stage, while others may barely peel at all. If your lips do not peel, that is completely normal and does not affect your final results. Allow your lips to heal naturally and avoid picking or peeling any skin.Days 5-10: The Ghosting Phase
After the peeling phase, your lips may appear much lighter than expected. They may look pale, uneven, or like the color has disappeared. Don’t worry, this is a normal part of the healing process. The pigment is still settling, and the color will gradually return as your lips continue to heal.Weeks 3-8:
As your lips fully heal, the color will slowly return and become softer, more even, and more natural-looking. Your final results will continue to develop over time.Remember, Lip Blush is a two-session process. Your touch-up appointment allows us to perfect the color and make any necessary adjustments once your lips have fully healed, typically around 8 weeks after your initial appointment.
