Permanent Makeup — Evolve Salon

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, micropigmentation or dermapigmentation is a type of superficial tattooing that involves applying pigment into the skin’s dermal layer to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyes, and lips.

Eyebrows-(Microblading or traditional): Eyebrows are the focal point of the face. Sparse brows will appear fuller with several colors added to your existing brow hairs. Microblading creates a very natural looking eyebrow, so no one will ever know it was done! Brow pencil maybe added after healing to create a more dramatic effect. Sunscreen should always be worn on all procedural areas after healed to maintain optimal color.

Eyeliner:This can give a soft subtle lash enhancement that will make your eyes pop. For a dramatic look, a full eyeliner will enhance your eyes and the color choice is yours.

Lip Color: We will help you choose a specific lip color that will best complement your skin tones. Lipstick can be worn after healing to create a new look of desired.
