are your brows ready for a colour boost? (probably not yet…..)

Are you considering a top-up colour boost for your permanent eyebrows? While the urge to maintain that fresh, bold look might be tempting, it's essential to understand why patience is key in the world of permanent makeup. Let's delve into why timing matters before rushing into a top up session.

Understanding Skin and Pigment Metabolism

Our skin has its limits especially when it comes to holding pigment for permanent makeup. Like a canvas, the skin can only absorb and retain so much colour at one time. Jumping into a top-up colour boost too soon can overload the skin, leading to uneven colour distribution and potential complications further down the line. We need to allow the skin time to metabolise enough of the pigment from the previous session before adding more.

Embracing the Fading Process

Contrary to popular belief, permanent makeup brows aren't designed to remain static over time and look exactly the same as when you first had them done. Instead, they're intended to evolve gradually mirroring the natural changes of your skin and preferences. The initial boldness will soften and fade over the years, creating a more subtle and timeless look.

The Importance of Patience

In the world of permanent makeup, patience truly is a virtue. Rushing into a top-up colour boost prematurely can disrupt the delicate balance of pigment absorption and metabolism, compromising the longevity and aesthetics of your brows.

While it may require some temporary adjustments, such as using conventional makeup to touch up fading areas, rest assured that every step is taken with your best interests in mind.

Trusting the Expert Eye

As a professional in the field of permanent makeup, I understand the delicate balance between patience and precision. One of the crucial aspects of my role is to assess when the time is right for a top-up colour boost. Through years of experience and expertise, I've honed my ability to recognise the subtle cues that indicate when the brows have faded enough to safely add more pigment.

Before recommending a top-up session, I will evaluate the current state of your permanent eyebrows taking into account factors such as pigment retention, skin condition, and overall appearance. By carefully observing how the pigment has faded and how your skin has adapted, I can determine whether it's time to enhance the colour and shape of your brows.

Prioritising Safety and Longevity

Above all, my priority is your safety and the long-term integrity of your permanent eyebrows. I adhere to strict standards and protocols, never rushing into a top-up session before it's completely necessary. This commitment means that there may be a period during which you'll rely on conventional makeup to maintain your desired look as your brows naturally fade.

While it may require a bit of patience on your part, rest assured that this approach ensures the optimal outcome for your permanent eyebrows. By waiting until the right moment to add more pigment, we maximise colour longevity and minimise the risk of overloading the skin. The result? Beautiful, natural-looking brows that stand the test of time.
