Question 1

Does permanent makeup hurt?

Accepted Answer

A topical numbing cream is applied before every procedure to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as minimal, similar to light pressure or scratching. For lip procedures, additional numbing is used throughout to ensure the experience remains manageable.

Question 2

How long does permanent makeup last?

Accepted Answer

Permanent brows and lip blush typically last 1–3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Faux freckles are designed to fade gradually over 1–2 years. Lash lifts and brow lamination last 6–8 weeks. Touch-ups help maintain vibrancy over time.

Question 3

Am I a good candidate for PMU?

Accepted Answer

Most people are great candidates! A free consultation is included with every service so we can review your skin type, goals, and any concerns. We recommend avoiding if you are pregnant, nursing, on blood thinners, or have certain skin conditions, we'll cover all of this during your consultation.

Question 4

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Come to your appointment with a clean face, no makeup on the treatment area. Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and blood-thinning supplements for 24 hours before. For lip services, stay hydrated and avoid Botox or fillers for 2+ weeks prior. Full prep instructions will be sent after booking.

Question 5

What is the healing process like?

Accepted Answer

Initial healing takes 7–14 days for brows and lips. During this time the pigment may look darker or more intense before settling into its true healed color. Avoid makeup on the treated area, sun exposure, and excessive sweating during healing. Full aftercare instructions are provided at your appointment.

Question 6

Will I need more than one session?

Accepted Answer

For PMU services (brows and lips), a follow-up touch-up session is often recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure. This allows Shellaise to assess the healed result and make any refinements. Follow-up pricing is listed separately in the services menu.

Question 7

Can I wear makeup after my procedure?

Accepted Answer

For the first 7–14 days, avoid applying makeup directly to the treated area. Once fully healed, you are absolutely free to apply makeup over your PMU. Most clients find they need significantly less makeup once their PMU has healed.
