Question 1

Will PMU replace make up?

Accepted Answer

Permanent make-up  does not fully replace traditional makeup, but it can significantly reduce the need for daily makeup application.

Treatments are designed to enhance your natural features with long-lasting pigment, saving time and creating a polished look every day. While permanent make up provides definition and colour, some people still choose to use traditional makeup for added style, coverage, or special occasions.

Question 2

How long will my Permanent make up last?

Accepted Answer

How long your Permanent make up will last is dependent on many factors, skin type, sun exposure, skincare used, medication etc. Your permanent make up will fade over time and there will be a halo of pigment in the skin.

An annual colour boost is recommended every 12 -18 months.

*Please note that if you have oily skin your colour boost may be more frequent for brows.

Question 11

I don't know what brows will suit me, can you help?

Accepted Answer

Tamara offers different brows for different required looks. Tamara will carry out a consultation with you and use her expertise to explain what brow would suit your face and skin type. TB Beauty offers microblading, hairstroke, combination brows, ombre brows, powder brows etc.

All brows are bespoke to the client and the style of brow can be decided on the day.

Microblading/Hairstroke - Fuller brows with more definition but naturally. Pigment is placed under the top layer of skin, the results are tiny natural hairstrokes that create natural looking brows.

Combination brows - Combination brows (often known as Combo Brows) are a mixture of hairstrokes and shading, perfect for those wanting a more defined brow. These brows are good for most skin types and can be as natural or bold as you like.

Ombre brows - Ombre brows consist of the application of thousands of tiny dots of pigment, inserted into the skin, gradually building up a colour and defined shape. The tails of the brows are darker and towards the front of the brow is a more shaded, pixelated effect. Ombre Brows are suitable for any skin type. Sometimes called the airbrushed brow, powder brow, or  Ombre blush.

Powder brows - Similar to the above, but powder brows have a bolder front.
