Question 1

What is permanent makeup?

Accepted Answer

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances features like brows, lips, and lash lines using pigment deposited into the skin. Results are long-lasting and designed to fade naturally over time.

Question 2

How long does permanent makeup last?

Accepted Answer

Results typically last 1–3 years depending on the area treated, pigment used, your skin type, and how well you care for it. Most clients return for color boosts around the 12–18 month mark.

Question 3

Is permanent makeup the same as microblading?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly. Microblading is one type of permanent makeup specifically for brows, but it uses a different technique. At Essentials by Nicole, we focus on soft-shading methods like powder brows, which are more suitable for a wider range of skin types and age groups.

Question 4

Is there downtime after a cosmetic tattoo?

Accepted Answer

There is a short healing period after each service. You may experience light flaking or dryness as the skin heals, but most clients resume normal activity right away. Full healed results take 4–6 weeks.

Question 5

Will it look too harsh or fake?

Accepted Answer

No! My techniques are specifically chosen to create soft, natural-looking results that heal beautifully. The goal is always enhancement—not transformation. You’ll still look like you, just more refreshed.
