Eyebrow Permanent Makeup MYTHS

❌ “They’ll look blocky or fake”
Truth: That happens from poor technique or outdated styles. Modern brow PMU is customized, soft, and natural-looking when done correctly—and it heals much lighter than day one.

❌ “It’s permanent forever”
Truth: Brow PMU fades over time (usually 1–3 years). Pigment breaks down gradually and evenly, not like old-school tattoos.

❌ “Everyone should get microblading”
Truth: Microblading is not ideal for oily, mature, or textured skin. Many bad results come from using the wrong method for the skin type. Microshading is often the better option.

❌ “It’s extremely painful”
Truth: Most clients describe it as uncomfortable but manageable. Strong topical numbing is used, and pain is typically less than expected.

❌ “The color will turn blue, red, or green”
Truth: That was common with old pigments. Modern pigments are designed to fade softly and neutrally when applied at the correct depth.

❌ “You can’t change the shape later”
Truth: Because it fades, adjustments can be made at touch-ups or future sessions. A conservative first approach is intentional.

❌ “It’s just like getting a brow tattoo”
Truth: PMU is much more superficial, uses different pigments, and is designed to fade—unlike traditional tattoos that sit deeper and stay bold.

❌ “Healing means something went wrong”
Truth: Scabbing, patchiness, and temporary lightness are normal parts of healing. Final results aren’t visible for about 4–6 weeks.

Lip Blushing Additional Information

Pain level & downtime

• Pain level

  • Mild to moderate (most describe it as scratching or vibration)

  • Strong topical numbing is used the entire time

• Downtime:

  • Day 1–2: swelling + very bright color

  • Day 3–7: flaking/peeling (looks patchy—this is normal)

  • Day 8–14: color softens and evens out

  • Full healed color at ~6 weeks

  Most people return to normal life the same or next day.

You’re likely a great fit if you:

• Have pale, uneven, or cool-toned lips

• Want definition without lipstick

• Want lips to look fuller without injections

• Are tired of reapplying lip products

• Want low-maintenance beauty

Who should wait or skip:

• Active cold sores (must be clear first)

• Pregnant or breastfeeding

• Accutane use in last 6–12 months

• Poor healing conditions (artist should screen this)

How the shade is chosen (this matters a lot)

• Based on your natural lip tone, undertone, and skin tone

• Healed color is 30–50% softer than day one

• Neutral and warm shades age best

• You should never be pressured into a trendy or overly bright color

Rule of thumb: 👉 Choose the shade you wish your lips looked naturally flushed after a good day.
