Read the Learn articlesHow long does permanent makeup last?
Most work holds its shape for one to three years, softening gradually. Sun, oily skin, and skincare acids fade it faster. A yearly touch-up keeps it crisp.
Full answerIs permanent makeup safe?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo, so the questions to ask any artist are about needles, pigments, and hygiene. Ask Pomi at your consultation; nothing touches your skin before you have talked it through and agreed on the shape.
Full answerAre powder brows for me?
Powder brows suit oily or mature skin and anyone who fills in their brows daily with pencil or powder. Hair strokes suit drier skin and a sparser, more natural look.
Full answerWhat is microblading?
Fine, hair-like strokes placed into the brow for a fuller, more balanced look. Mapped to your face so the result stays soft and natural.
Full answerWhat is microblading and shading?
Fine hair-like strokes combined with soft powder shading, for brows that look fuller, balanced and naturally defined.
Full answerWhat is permanent eyeliner?
Pigment placed along the lash line for lasting eye definition, kept soft or made more defined to suit your eyes and your style.
Full answerPMU healing timeline
Day 1 it looks darker and sharper. Days 2 to 5 it can flake; days 6 to 10 it can look lighter or patchy. By weeks 2 to 4 the softer, final result shows.
Full answerEyeliner vs lash enhancement
Lash enhancement fills the gaps between lashes with no visible line. Eyeliner adds a defined line above them. Both are done in the same two-visit process.
Full answerLip tint vs lip blush
They are names for the same technique: a sheer wash of color through the whole lip, not a lip liner.
Full answerWho is a good candidate for permanent makeup?
Someone who wants a natural look, understands the healing stages and follows aftercare. Ask before booking if you are pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners, prone to keloids or have active irritation.
Full answerHow to prepare for your appointment
Arrive with clean skin, avoid irritation or sunburn, and share health details. Ask about retinol, acids, exfoliants, blood thinners, alcohol, and caffeine before your appointment.
Full answerScalp micropigmentation
Thousands of tiny pigment dots that mimic shaved hair follicles, filling thinning crowns and softening hairlines.
Full answerWhy the touch-up matters
Skin heals unevenly, and some strokes fade more than others. The six-week touch-up refines shape and color once healing is done. It is part of the service, not an extra.
