Everything You Need to Know About Semi Permanent
Semi-permanent makeup has rapidly become a game-changer in the beauty world, allowing people to wake up every day with flawless brows, defined eyes, and rosy lips-without spending hours in front of the mirror. Whether you're a beauty enthusiast, a professional technician, or simply curious about effortless beauty solutions, this guide will provide you with all the information you need about semi-permanent makeup.
What is Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Semi-permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is a cosmetic tattooing technique that uses specialized tools and pigments to enhance facial features, such as eyebrows, eyes, and lips. Unlike traditional tattoos, semi-permanent makeup is designed to fade naturally over time, typically lasting between one to three years.
The pigments are deposited into the upper layers of the skin using either manual tools or digital machines. This creates a soft, natural-looking effect that mimics makeup without the need for daily application.

Perm and dyeing kit
How do I make brow lamination tint?
1. Clean eyebrows: Use warm water and facial cleansing products to clean eyebrows and surrounding skin, making sure there are no impurities and oils.
2. Shape eyebrows: Use eyebrow scissors to trim the length and shape of eyebrows as needed
3. Apply skin care oil: Apply skin care oil to the skin around eyebrows to prevent dye from getting on the skin and facilitate cleaning.
4. Mix dye: Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.
5. Apply dye: Use a small brush to apply eye brow dye evenly on eyebrows, from the beginning to the end of eyebrows, and pay attention to control the amount to avoid applying it on the skin. Wait for the appropriate time (usually 5-10 minutes) to allow the eyebrow dye to fully color.
6. Wash: Use warm water and paper towels to gently wash the dye off, and be careful not to rub the eyebrows hard.
Follow-up care
1. Avoid water washing: Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after dyeing to ensure that the color lasts.
2. Regularly touch up the color: Depending on the growth rate of the eyebrows and the fading of the color, you can touch up the color every 4-6 weeks.
