The term "Permanent Makeup Touch Up" can be used in many ways.

After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows

The term "Touch Up" is used in few ways. In general, it means you've had previous Permanent Makeup procedure(s).

If you've never had procedure(s) done, most Permanent Makeup Artists provide a complimentary "touch up" visit 4 weeks after the initial procedure. This is to allow modifications to the design and color, if needed.

Another common way to use the phrase "touch up":
Permanent Makeup Touch Ups are procedures for when you notice that the original pigment color is fading. Typically, it is done annually on brows, and every 15 to 20 months on eyeliner and lips. An alternative term is "annual color boost".

Typically it is a one time application where the permanent makeup artist may add more of the original pigment because it's faded, or use additional colors to warm or cool down the fading pigment.

Most artists charge per Touch Up Session. Depending on how much the original pigment has faded, multiple touch ups may be needed. To keep your makeup looking fresh, annual color boosts are recommended.

Permanent Eyeliner turns blue grey

Before Permanent Makeup Brows and Liner After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows and Eyeliner C ommon question asked by my clients: I had permanent eyeliner done in the past. The original artist used Black pigment. It looked great at first, but as the pigment faded, it turned Blue Grey. Why does this happen and what can I do? As mentioned before, all pigment fades over time. Carbon Black pigment has a lot of the primary Blue color. Therefore, as the other colors in the Black fade, the blue color remains. Touch ups are essential to keeping permanent eyeliner looking fresh and crisp. If you have blue grey liner, ask the artist to add Orange Pigment to the Black Pigment to counter balance the Blue. The Orange pigment will turn the blue into a soft brown, and with the added black pigment, the blue will not be noticeable. For more Before/After Permanent

What is the difference between Micro Blading and Tattoos

What is the difference between Micro Blading and other Permanent Makeup modalities. Microblading is a tool that is popular with the newer generation of permanent makeup artists. The marketing of Microblading has dominated our industry in the past 2 to 3 years. Microblade is a hand held tool where the series of needles are configured tightly to form a "blade" or a "knife". The artist uses the "blade" to cut "hair like" incisions into the skin. The pigment is then smeared into the cuts. The width of the blade is extremely narrow so that the artist can create an illusion of eyebrow hairs. Due to the narrow width of the blade, the artist must minimize the space in between each stroke. If the strokes are placed too far apart, the tattoo may appear sparse when healed. If the strokes are placed too closely, then the pigment from each stroke blend into the next stroke and causes pigment migration or a shaded look. Immediat
