Permanent Makeup

What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup (cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation) deposits pigment into the upper dermis to enhance facial features. Unlike traditional tattoos, the techniques and pigments are designed to fade naturally over 1-3 years, allowing for adjustments as trends and preferences change.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Schedule your touch-up session before leaving Turkey. Most permanent makeup needs a touch-up 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure for optimal, long-lasting results.

⚠️ Insider Note: Color appears darker immediately after treatment but fades 30-50% during healing. Don't panic—the final result will be much more subtle and natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does permanent makeup last?

1-3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare. Oily skin fades faster. Regular touch-ups maintain optimal appearance.

Is it painful?

Topical numbing cream minimizes discomfort. Most clients describe mild scratching or vibration rather than pain. Quality numbing products make treatment very comfortable.

Can I choose my own shape and color?

Absolutely. Your artist works with you to design the perfect look—mapping shapes to your bone structure and selecting colors that complement your skin tone and preferences.

What if I don't like it?

Color fades naturally over 1-3 years. If immediate removal is needed, laser removal is possible but expensive. Prevention (choosing a skilled artist and reviewing portfolios) is best.

When can I wear makeup over it?

After 7-10 days when skin has fully healed. Avoid applying makeup to the treated area during the healing phase to prevent infection and color loss.

Will it look natural?

With skilled artists, yes. Review portfolios carefully before booking. Look for healed results, not just fresh work. Natural-looking results require technical expertise.

Who shouldn't get permanent makeup?

Those with keloid tendency, certain autoimmune conditions, pregnant or nursing women, and those on blood thinners. Disclose all medical conditions during consultation.

What about color changes over time?

Quality pigments age gracefully, simply fading lighter. Poor-quality pigments may shift to unwanted tones (orange, blue, gray). Choose reputable artists using premium pigments.
