What is the difference between Permanent and Semi Permanent Makeup?
Nothing!
​
Semi Permanent makeup is the exact same thing as Permanent Makeup.
​
The reason some choose to call it Semi Permanent is because the pigments used in our industry have the ability to fade.
​
Pigment fading is beneficial to a client for numerous reasons including but not limited to :
-
Ageing - When we age, our face shape can change, meaning we are able to tweak your makeup shape.
-
Colours - As we go through life we like to change. Be that our hair colour, our make up preferences etc. For example - if we had the same black brows we had as a brunette, now we are blonde, this would look odd!
-
Fashions - Once upon a time, very thin arched brows were fashionable, now we are seeing more fuller brows in fashion. Fashion is always evolving, and permanent makeup fading allows for this.

Opinion
" I made the decision to call my work Permanent Makeup.
I believe that by me saying this, it is being entirely honest and transparent to my clients.
Yes, the pigments I use, can and do fade, but in my opinion, they never fully 100% leave the skin.
To the naked eye, you may not be able to see the pigment if it has faded enough, but remnants can still remain under the skin surface.
I feel it is important for clients to know this before they make their decision to have permanent makeup. "
