Permanent Makeup FAQ
Brow Shaping & Tinting
Yes. Brow shaping is performed using waxing, and brow mapping is included to achieve a balanced shape.
Brow Tinting uses a semi-permanent dye to enhance the colour and definition of your natural eyebrow hairs.
Results typically last between one and three weeks, depending on skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle.
General Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup 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.
Ombré Powder Brows: 1–3 years. Lip Blush: 1–3 years. Lash Enhancement: 3–5 years.
Longevity depends on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare. Touch-ups are typically recommended every 12–18 months.
A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. Most clients describe the procedure as only mildly uncomfortable.
New appointments usually take 2–3 hours. Touch-ups usually take 1–2 hours. This includes consultation, mapping, and the treatment itself.
Ombré Powder Brows take approximately 4 weeks. Lip Blush and Lash Enhancement take approximately 6 weeks. Surface healing happens sooner, but complete healing takes several weeks.
Permanent makeup is generally not recommended for anyone under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, taking Accutane within the last 6 months, undergoing chemotherapy, prone to keloid scarring, or experiencing active skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, dermatitis, or shingles.
Yes. All pigments used are medical-grade, vegan, hypoallergenic, and specifically designed for cosmetic tattooing.
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.
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. Dark lips may require one or two neutralisation sessions before achieving the desired colour.
Lip neutralisation uses specialised pigments to balance cool or dark tones before enhancing the lips with the chosen colour.
Yes. Avoid spicy, salty, oily, and acidic foods during the first few days to minimise irritation.
Before & Aftercare
Yes. Schedule permanent makeup at least four weeks before or after Botox treatments.
Yes. It helps your artist understand your preferred look. Makeup will be removed before the procedure begins.
Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before and after your appointment, as it can increase bleeding and slow healing.
Please reschedule if the treatment area has cuts, pimples, irritation, or broken skin. Healthy skin is essential for optimal healing and pigment retention.
Yes, but avoid applying makeup directly over the treated area until it has fully healed.
Brows and lips: Aquaphor or A&D Ointment. Lash Enhancement: dry healing unless otherwise instructed.
Yes. Brows usually appear 30–40% darker immediately after treatment and gradually soften during healing.
Light scabbing is normal. Do not pick or scratch the area, as this may cause pigment loss.
Yes. Mild itching is a normal part of healing. Avoid scratching and continue following your aftercare instructions.
Avoid laser treatments directly over tattooed areas, as they may alter pigment colour.
Corrections & Scar Camouflage
Yes. Depending on the age and condition of the scar, Nano or Powder Brows can often camouflage scar tissue. Additional sessions may be required.
In many cases, yes. A consultation is required to assess the existing pigment, shape, and skin condition before recommending a correction.
