Permanent makeup (also called semi-permanent makeup or SPMU) uses cosmetic tattooing techniques to enhance facial features including eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. Techniques include microblading, ombre brows, powder brows, combination brows, lip blush, and eyeliner tattooing. Results typically last 1-3 years and fade gradually over time.

Why verification matters
Permanent makeup breaks the skin barrier and is difficult to reverse, so practitioner skill, hygiene and pigment quality all matter. Independent verification is a straightforward way to confirm a practitioner meets those standards before you book. CosmediCheck checks both medical and non-medical practitioners against the same rigorous standard, so you can choose with confidence.

Microblading uses a handheld blade to create individual hair-like strokes for a natural brow look. Ombre brows (also called powder brows) use a machine to create a soft, powdered effect that is denser at the tail and lighter at the front. Combination brows blend both techniques. Your practitioner should recommend the best technique for your skin type and desired result.
Despite the name, permanent makeup fades over time. Results typically last 1-3 years depending on the technique used, skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Touch-up sessions are usually recommended after 12-18 months to maintain the desired look.
