Does permanent makeup hurt? 👀

Honestly? It’s really not that bad. And if you’ve been putting off getting your brows done because you’re scared of the pain, this is your sign to stop worrying. 🤍

Here are 3 reasons it’s usually more comfortable than people expect:

✨ 1. Numbing is an option
A topical numbing cream can help make the appointment much more comfortable. Always talk to your brow artist first about what they recommend and what’s safe for your service.

✨ 2. Your artist works in small areas
Your artist isn’t just going over your skin nonstop. The process is done carefully and in sections, which makes it much more manageable.

✨ 3. The anticipation is often worse than the actual feeling
Most clients describe it as scratching, pressure, or a little sensitivity — not unbearable pain. And everyone’s pain tolerance is different!

Want to make your appointment as comfortable as possible?

✔️ Eat a good meal beforehand
✔️ Drink plenty of water
✔️ Get a good night’s sleep
✔️ Tell your artist if you’re nervous
✔️ Ask your artist about numbing options

What NOT to do before your appointment:
🚫 Don’t drink alcohol beforehand
🚫 Avoid excessive caffeine if it makes you more sensitive or jittery
🚫 Don’t arrive dehydrated or on an empty stomach
🚫 Don’t use numbing products without talking to your artist first
🚫 Follow your artist’s pre-care instructions, especially regarding medications or products that may affect bleeding

And remember… your artist wants you to be comfortable too! 🤍

If you’ve been scared to book because you think it’s going to hurt… it’s really not that bad.

Save this for your PMU appointment and send it to the friend who keeps saying, “But does it HURT?” 😂

You don’t follow me. I know that because this is a trial reel… 👀

But here’s why you might want to…

I share simple skincare tips, permanent makeup education, brow advice, treatment behind-the-scenes and little beauty things I think every person should know. 🤍

So if you’re into skincare, brows, self-care and learning a few things along the way…

You might as well stick around. ✨

As a permanent makeup artist, here is what I’d want you to know if you’re thinking about getting your brows done.

✨ Do your research. Look at healed work, not just fresh brows, and make sure you love the artist’s style.

✨ Choose the right technique. Microblading and powder brows create very different results, and what works for one person may not be right for another.

✨ Be realistic about the process. Your brows will go through a healing period, and they will look different as they heal.

✨ Don’t choose based on price alone. This is your face, and quality, experience, sanitation and proper training matter.

✨ Ask questions. A good consultation should leave you feeling comfortable, informed and confident about your decision.

And most importantly… your brows should still look like YOU. The goal isn’t to give everyone the same brows — it’s to create a shape and style that suits your face, features and lifestyle.

If you’ve been thinking about permanent brows but aren’t sure where to start, send me a message. I’m always happy to answer questions before you decide.

If your skin feels dry, tight or irritated, try these 5 things:

✨ 1. Simplify your routine
Take a break from exfoliating acids, scrubs and strong actives until your skin feels comfortable again.

💧 2. Drink more water
Staying hydrated supports your overall skin health. Keep a water bottle nearby and sip throughout the day.

🧴 3. Moisturize more
Use a gentle moisturizer to help support your skin’s moisture barrier and reduce that tight, dry feeling.

🚿 4. Turn down the heat
Hot showers and hot water can make dryness and irritation worse. Stick with lukewarm water.

☀️ 5. Don’t skip SPF
A daily broad-spectrum SPF helps protect your skin from UV damage, especially when your skin barrier is feeling sensitive.

Sometimes your skin doesn’t need more products… it needs a little less.

Save this for the next time your skin needs some extra TLC.

Rainy days are the perfect excuse to slow down a little. ☔️🤍

Come warm up on the heated bed, get cozy, and take an hour for yourself.

A little skincare, a little quiet time, and hopefully you leave feeling just a bit more relaxed than when you walked in.
