Question: Over recent years, my hair has shifted from very dark to silver gray—a change I embrace as it suits me. However, my once-dark eyebrows have faded to a vague gray and thinned out, leaving my morning face looking washed out and undefined. I've considered permanent makeup for my eyebrows and a subtle eyeliner tattoo. Where should I go? How can I ensure a great result? What risks are involved, and what's the cost?
Answer: Start with a consultation from an experienced PMU specialist—PMU meaning Permanent Make-Up. Discuss your desired shape and color, review a preview and 'before' photo to visualize the outcome.
Hygiene is paramount: insist on sterile needles, ink, and gloves. Post-treatment, the skin heals as the body naturally sheds some pigment.
Support healing with a nourishing cream (like Sensitivity cream from Bergman Beauty Care) for five days to minimize scabbing. Return after six weeks for a checkup and any touch-up.
Pricing for permanent makeup: Eyebrows €395; upper eyeliner €295; lower €250; both €535.
Choose a specialist with extensive experience—ideally dedicating at least six hours daily to pigmentation—to guarantee safety and quality. Poor hygiene risks infections, compromising results.
