Don’t book your permanent makeup appointment until you read this
Are you looking to book your permanent makeup brow appointment but you are not sure where to start?
Selina Beauty Lounge has put together a list of Dos & Don'ts to help make your permanent makeup brow appointment a successful one.
Do’s
Do your research before booking your permanent brow makeup appointment
Make sure you do your research before booking your appointment. Once it is done, permanent makeup brow can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months depending on an individual’s skin type & lifestyle. That is quite a bit of time to wear a pair of brows that you don’t like. So, don’t skip this researching step.
You can check out the artist’s Instagram & portfolio to know if you would like the artist’s work & style.
Do ask for healed brow pictures from your PMU artist
A pair of freshly done permanent makeup brows will look quite different from when they are completely healed. Don’t hesitate to ask for healed permanent brow makeup pictures/portfolio from the PMU Artist that you will be booking your appointment with. You will have a better idea of how colour retention rate will be as well by looking at the healed brow pictures.
Do communicate as much as possible with your PMU Artist so they can understand what you are looking to achieve:
Communication is one important element to make your permanent makeup brow appointment a successful one. Make sure to show your artist all the photos of brows that you like and so they have a better idea of your expectations and also consult you on what will and will not look good on you.
Don’ts
Don’t rush into your permanent makeup brow appointment without doing research & and don’t fall for the price trap
Lower price does not always mean lower quality but it can happen. If the price is quite low compared to the industry standard, you might end up with something you will not like. Remember, it costs more to have a brow correction session than to get it right in the first place.
Don’t skip the pre-care and post-care process
It is very important that you prepare yourself properly before & take care of your brows after the permanent brow makeup appointment. Click HERE to get a full guideline on how to increase your retention rate with pre-care & post-care process.
Don’t expect perfect results after your first appointment
Your first permanent makeup brow appointment will come with a touch-up appointment so don’t expect your brows to be perfect right after your initial appointment.
Don’t book any important event right after your permanent brow makeup appointment:
Your freshly done pair of brows can look quite dark right after your appointment. You can also experience a slight headache and numbing on the forehead and around the brow areas. It is best not to book any special meetings or events to go after your appointment.
Your brows will also take 7-14 days to heal and they might look flaky and dry. It is recommended that you schedule your brow appointment 10 to 14 days prior to any special events.
