The  lip line and blend and especially the full lip procedure, are so popular at the moment. Perhaps it’s because almost every desired colour and style is possible for our clients. Every girl wants to have definition of the mouth no matter how natural a person she is. Others have found the shade they love to wear, and want it semi-permanent.

Here is a good opportunity to remind you of how the lips behave after the procedure.  Immediately after your appointment, your mouth is big, bright and beautiful.  After 24hours most swelling has disappeared, and sorry, not to return,  until another  treatment.  The extra brightness and darkness comes from the pigment being ‘under’ as well as on the surface of the skin.  After three or four  days the sloughing off of the superficial dry, outer layer takes place leaving semi-permanent colour behind. 

Now, over the next few weeks, this colour may appear to vary, hiding at times and not entirely settled,  until one day it appears to have deepened again.  The lip procedure is really a process,  sometimes taking  more than the second appointment,  and as long as twelve weeks after the last treatment for the finest result to be seen. Please be patient, it is just so worth it. Cosmetic tattoo is such an interesting and exciting beauty treatment – contact us for your slightest query.

It’s summer and we know that means outdoor living, barbeques, and water, water everywhere.
whether you’re making the most of your own pool, aquatic centres, or are out and about on our fabulous coastal shores, there’s one certainty; if you don’t have permanent makeup,  you’d be wishing you had.

Most of us have experienced the ‘the very plain ‘ face situation when you are looking rather less than your best in a social environment. You know how it is…you’re making the most of the prawn kebabs and you are dressed to the nine’s, and yes, you’re losing the lipstick amongst the lemony peppered juices!

Maybe you have stopped to smooth the face from sun, swim or gym and found you have smoothed away your eyebrows as well. It happens every time!

How about the scenario where the romantic interest in your life has never seen you without the subtle colour you so carefully apply every day. Ever had that?

One of the greatest advantages of cosmetic tattoo I’ve found over the years, is being able to emerge from a plane with good-looking, unsmudged makeup. All it took to freshen up was a spritz of water or skin tonic. The convenience is unmatched.

Semi-permanent makeup simplifies your life. It allows you to set off into the day looking good. Enjoy your end of year hols, sport, travel or extra working hours if that’s your reality. Colour implanted makeup allows you to spend more of what you would rather do. Sometimes, in fact, according to some of my clients, it takes a few weeks to adjust to the serenity and simplification of new routines. Time is suddenly allotted to whatever one really needs to do, walking, reading a novel, catching up on emails, or enjoying a long interrupted breakfast (with lip colour intact).

One of my clients until recently would spend 3 hours (on a good day) applying makeup and then go off to her profession, careful not to undo the good work somehow. Another was afraid to hug, for fear of having to repeat the same old makeup routine.

The above situations may seem highly unlikely except to those of you, it’s familiar. However, today’s pressures often bring about such angst.

Life is meant for giving, loving, completing and enjoying, without rush. The convenience and simplicity of cosmetic tattoo helps!
