Semi-permanent makeup is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can enhance your natural features with skin pigmentation, which is designed to imitate makeup. It’s sometimes called micropigmentation or semi-tattooing. As the name suggests, it’s not permanent, but it won’t wash off like regular makeup and will last for a certain amount of time.

It’s often used to enhance the shape or definition of eyebrows, but it can also be used to line the eyes or even to tint the lips. 

However, it’s important to choose your beautician with care: mistakes can be difficult to put right and tricky to disguise. At our Hull salon, you can be confident that your semi permanent makeup will be applied by an experienced and trained practitioner. Here’s a look at the benefits of semi permanent makeup.

Saves you time in the morning and evening

If you apply make up every morning before work, you will know just how time consuming this can be. It may need retouching during the day, and then removing before you go to bed. Being able to wake up each morning with permanently and perfectly shaped brows or beautifully defined eyes can be a real game changer. 

Professional results

Not all of us are skilled in self-applying makeup, and often the results can be variable depending on the lighting conditions, time pressures, distractions, eyesight issues, the wrong products, or just the mood we are in. 

Your semi permanent makeup will be applied by a professional cosmetics artist, and will always look flawless and be designed to enhance your natural skin tone, features and facial structure. Knowing that your makeup suits your face and always looks good can be a huge self-esteem booster, helping you to tackle the day with confidence. 

A saviour for active lifestyles

If you are sporty, enjoy going for a run, swimming, or to the gym frequently, then you may have sacrificed your makeup routine for all but special occasions. Maybe you are a busy working mum, always on the go and don’t want the hassle of worrying about smudged eyeliner. 

If your wedding day is coming up, the last thing you want is to run to the loos to check for running mascara every time the photographer looms close by. All these issues can be magically resolved by a single cosmetic treatment that will keep you looking good all day long, no matter what your lifestyle involves. 

Low-maintenance and cost saving

Makeup products can be expensive, and even if you use them sparingly, experts recommend changing them every three to six months to avoid bacterial contamination. On the other hand, one semi permanent makeup treatment can last from between one to three years and requires minimal maintenance.

Over the long run, this can save you money because you will not need to buy new items of makeup, or spend money on remover lotions and wipes. This can also reduce irritation of your skin and help avoid lines and wrinkles.
