Permanent Makeup FAQs
Permanent Makeup (PMU) can save you time, enhance your features, and offer long-lasting results that look natural. If you’re exploring PMU options at Samira Pro Beauty, here are the most common questions to guide your decision. For more details, visit our Permanent Makeup Services or book a session.
Permanent makeup (PMU) is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances facial features by implanting pigment into the skin. It mimics the appearance of makeup, providing long-lasting beauty without daily application.
PMU uses a specialized tattoo machine or a handheld tool to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin. Over time, the pigment fades, requiring touch-ups to maintain the desired look.
• Saves time on daily makeup application
• Creates a natural, enhanced look
• Waterproof and sweatproof results
• Helps correct asymmetry and sparse brows
• Ideal for those with makeup allergies or sensitive skin
While both involve implanting pigment into the skin, PMU is semi-permanent, fading over time, whereas traditional tattoos are permanent and placed deeper in the skin.
PMU typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and the technique used. Regular touch-ups are needed to maintain color and shape.
Yes! When done by a skilled artist, PMU looks soft and natural, enhancing your features rather than looking like heavy makeup.
