The best place to start with permanent makeup is your everyday routine. Do you spend time filling in your brows, defining your lips or adding a little colour along your lashes? Knowing what you want to make easier helps focus the conversation.
Shannon offers brow artistry, lip blush and eyeliner lash enhancement in Keswick. You do not need to arrive knowing the name of a technique. Bring an idea of the finish you like and the questions you want answered.
Brows: start with the finish
The studio’s brow options include nano, ombre, powder and combination brows. Rather than choosing a name from a trend, describe how you normally wear your brows: lightly defined, softly shaded or more structured.
Bring a photo of your usual makeup and a few examples of what you like. Ask Shannon to explain which available technique fits that goal, how the proposed shape relates to your existing brows, and what the healed appearance may look like.
Lip blush: talk about colour
Lip blush uses cosmetic pigment to enhance the appearance of lip colour and definition. Think about whether you prefer a subtle everyday look or a more noticeable tint, and discuss that preference before deciding on a shade.
Your favourite lip product can be a useful conversation starter. Ask how a proposed colour is selected for you and how the fresh appearance may differ from the healed result.
Eyeliner: decide how much definition you want
Lash enhancement focuses on definition along the lash line. Explain how you usually wear eyeliner and whether you prefer a very understated look. Shannon can discuss the studio’s upper and lower lash enhancement options with you.
Before proceeding, make sure the proposed placement and finish are clear. A reference image is a starting point for discussion, rather than a promise of an identical result.
Leave room for healing and follow-up
Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing. Pigment can fade, but removal may be difficult, so take time with your decision. Cleveland Clinic’s overview of micropigmentation explains the procedure, healing and questions to raise at a consultation.
The FDA’s tattoo and permanent makeup fact sheet describes risks including infection, allergic reactions and scarring. Discuss your health history and ask about hygiene, pigment selection, preparation and aftercare. For personal medical concerns, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
Ask about the expected healing process, follow-up timing and touch-up policy before scheduling around a wedding, holiday or other important event. Confirm the total cost and what is included.
