Brows

Lip Blushing

Brow Aftercare

• I will provide ointment, and you can apply a rice-sized amount to your brows the first night.

• Starting the next day, gently wash your brows with your fingertips and provided wash. Pat dry with a clean towel and apply the same ointment. You should do this 1-2 times a day until they start peeling, then let them be.

• Do not pick the scabs, as this will pull the pigment out

You can reach the artist over phone call or text, Instagram, Facebook, or email to discuss any questions you have. Outer Beauty also offers in-person design consultation so you can see the shape on your brows, as well as go over any questions. The consultation appointment cost will go towards your main appointment, and we can tweak anything you disliked with the original design. If you do not go forward, the in-person design consultation fee is non-refundable.

Permanent makeup is a two-step process. Desired results can only be achieved with proper aftercare and touch up. We use the touch up to perfect the shape and color, as it is extremely common for permanent makeup to heal unevenly after the first session.

While we do use different topical numbing, there still may be some discomfort or pain as the numbing is starting to work. The numbing works best on open skin, so you will be more comfortable throughout the appointment.

Most clients fall asleep during brows. Eyeliner can feel ticklish against the lash line. You feel the pressure, but minimal pain. Lips are most sensitive on the outline and cupids bow area, but the shading in is bearable.

Permanent makeup is a tattoo technique, so it is permanent. Some refer to it as semi-permanent because the pigment fades and you have to get touch-ups, however there will likely always be some remains of the brow tattoo unless you go through removal.
