Semi-permanent Services
LIPS
As we get older, unfortunately our lips will begin to lose their colour, fullness and shape, here at B Brows & Beauty we can revive your lips again!
Aside from having a lip colour that won’t fade or smudge, (no matter how many coffees or cocktails you have!), lip tattooing defines and enhances your lips along with improving symmetry without the need for dermal fillers.
Lip Treatments
This treatment is suitable for those with dermal fillers, but we advise you wait 4 weeks after your fillers before you have semi-permanent makeup.
We offer three different options when it comes to lips: lip liner, ombre lips and lip blush. We will discuss which one would be best at your appointment.
The procedure involves a handheld machine (like a tattoo pen) which implants pigment to the area.
Numbing cream is used throughout the procedure making it as comfortable as possible.

Annual Touch-Up £175

AfterCare
To ensure pigment retention:
- Avoid excessive sweating / steamy environments such as steam rooms and saunas and swimming which contains chlorine. Salt and chlorine may force the colour out resulting in colour loss.
- When you are advised to clean the area, you will need to use cooled boiled or sterile water and cotton pads that are just dampened in the water.
- Then the area should be dried by dabbing with a clean, dry cotton pad.
