Semi-Permanent Makeup Brows – What’s It All About?
Eyebrows frame the face and can completely transform your appearance, but for many of us, achieving perfect brows every morning can feel like a never-ending task. If you’re tired of spending time filling, shaping, and perfecting your brows with pencils, powders, or gels, semi-permanent makeup could be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Becky Laroc Beauty & Aesthetics in Bromley, we specialise in creating natural, long-lasting brows that enhance your features and make your daily routine effortless.
So, what exactly is semi-permanent makeup for brows, and how does it work?
Semi-permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is a cosmetic treatment that enhances your natural brows by implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional tattoos, which penetrate deeper into the skin and last forever, semi-permanent makeup is designed to fade gradually over time. This allows your brows to be refreshed or reshaped as trends and your personal style evolve.
There are several techniques used to create semi-permanent brows, with the most popular being microblading, powder brows, and combination brows. Microblading involves using a hand-held tool with tiny needles to create delicate, hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hairs. This is ideal for clients looking for a soft, natural finish that blends seamlessly with their existing brow hair. Powder brows, sometimes known as ombré brows, use a machine to create a soft, shaded effect that resembles perfectly applied makeup. Combination brows merge the two techniques, giving the realistic hair strokes of microblading at the front of the brow and a soft powdered effect through the arch and tail.
The process typically begins with a thorough consultation at our Bromley clinic. During this appointment, we assess your natural brows, discuss your desired look, and map out a shape that suits your facial features. Your skin tone and undertone are also considered to select the perfect pigment shade for a natural-looking result. The treatment itself is carried out in a sterile, professional environment, with numbing cream applied to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
After your initial session, you will need a top-up appointment around 4 to 6 weeks later to perfect the shape and colour. This is completely normal, as semi-permanent pigment can heal slightly lighter in some areas after the first session. With proper aftercare, your brows can last between 12 and 24 months before requiring a colour boost to keep them looking fresh.
One of the biggest benefits of semi-permanent brows is the time it saves you every day. Imagine waking up with perfectly shaped, smudge-proof brows that don’t wash off in the shower or at the gym. For those with sparse brows, over-plucked brows, or hair loss conditions such as alopecia, semi-permanent makeup can also restore symmetry and boost confidence.
While the treatment is generally safe, it’s important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner. At Becky Laroc Beauty & Aesthetics, we adhere to strict hygiene and safety standards, using high-quality pigments and tools to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results. A patch test and full consultation are always carried out prior to treatment to ensure suitability.
