An insight into Semi-Permanent Makeup
Also known as a cosmetic tattoo, the creation semi-permanent makeup is a similar procedure to a ‘normal’ tattoo. Performed a little differently, it creates the look of makeup instead of a design.
The truth about semi-permanent makeup:
Semi-permanent makeup is a permanent procedure. The applied pigment will fade over time but will never completely disappear.
To keep the colour density and shape, Colour Boosts are a regular requirement, and we recommend the first from 12 months after the initial treatment.
The benefits of semi-permanent makeup:
Semi-permanent makeup defines your natural beauty, so for an ‘everyday’ minimal look, you’ll no longer need to apply makeup. That won’t stop you from being able to enhance what’s there, adding to your semi-permanent makeup when you’re heading out or looking to make a statement.
Love your look. Live your look. Always.
What to expect when you contact Bianco Beauty for semi-permanent makeup in Milton Keynes & Soho:
Initial consultation (free if you proceed with the treatment): our award-winning Linergist will explain what’s involved, run through a consultation form, and answer any questions you may have.
Patch test: required in advance of any treatment.
The semi-permanent makeup procedure is completed over 2 sessions:
Session 1: Approx. 3 hours long, the shape will be mapped out and agreed upon, and the colour will be chosen before the pigment is applied.
Session 2: 4 – 8 weeks after the initial application of the pigment, your treatment will be completed, and your look will be perfected.
Eyebrows
When you come to us for semi-permanent eyebrows, there will be some initial steps to take before your treatment can commence. Our eyebrow specialist will assess your brow type, colour, and face shape to decide, along with your help, the perfect brows for you. The new brow shape will be carefully mapped and agreed upon by you before any pigment is added to the skin.
Lips
For semi-permanent lips, you’re in safe hands.
The best way to decide on what shade you would like tattooed on your lips is to try out several different lipstick colours. Our range of pigments offer clients a great selection, and we have matching lipsticks for you to try in advance of the pigment being applied. Our award-winning Linergist will map out the lip shape, working with your natural shape and outline to provide definition. Colours will initially be brighter and then fade to a lighter shade.
Eyeliner
Our procedure for creating semi-permanent eyeliner can be adapted to be as subtle or dramatic as you please. Our highly experienced artist will map the shape before applying pigment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear make-up after my treatment?
You will have to wait until your skin is fully healed before wearing any make-up. Make-up can be worn on surrounding areas, but the area which has been treated should be kept make-up free until fully healed.
What will I look like straight after my treatment?
Your Semi-Permanent Make-Up colour will be considerably stronger immediately after the treatment, but it will soften to a more natural shade in time. It is not unusual for lips to appear swollen immediately after the first treatment, but they will return to the natural size and shape within a few days.
Is Semi-Permanent Make-Up safe?
Yes, Semi-Permanent Make-Up is completely safe. Working to strict clinically hygienic standards using sterile equipment, only fully trained and experienced professionals carry out our treatments.
What can I do to help the healing process?
At the time of your treatment, you will be given full aftercare instructions. To ensure optimum results, please ensure you follow the aftercare advice given during your appointment and on the aftercare leaflet provided.
Can I go in the sun before and after my treatment?
Avoid natural sunlight and sunbed exposure on the treated area for at least seven days before AND after the treatment date and definitely until the skin is fully healed. Use a minimum SPF30 on the treated area after it has healed, as exposure to the sun can cause discolouration and fading of the pigment.
Is the procedure painful?
Every client is different, but as a general rule and from experience, clients tend to find eyebrow treatments the most comfortable, with eyeliner and lips usually a little more uncomfortable depending on sensitivity. A topical anaesthetic is applied throughout the treatment, and your specialist will be aware of any areas that are becoming increasingly sensitive during the treatment and will work accordingly to ensure optimum results with minimal discomfort.
Are you able to get lip fillers at the same time as semi-permanent lips?
Not at the same time because there needs to be at least 4 weeks between the treatments. However, if you’re interested in adding fillers as well as having semi-permanent lips, please discuss this with us during your consultation to ensure you achieve optimum results from your semi-permanent makeup.
Will my eyebrows have to be shaved off before semi-permanent makeup?
Every client is different, but as a general rule and from experience, clients tend to find eyebrow treatments the most comfortable, with eyeliner and lips usually a little more uncomfortable depending on sensitivity. A topical anaesthetic is applied throughout the treatment, and your specialist will be aware of any areas that are becoming increasingly sensitive during the treatment and will work accordingly to ensure optimum results with minimal discomfort.
Can I keep my eyelash extensions on during my semi-permanent eyeliner treatment?
No. If worn, lash extensions should be removed at least one week before the treatment.

Customer Testimonial
"II highly recommend Bianco Beauty! Ewelina did my eyebrows, and I can’t describe how happy I am! Throughout the sessions, I had the opportunity to notice that her place is extremely clean; the staff value their clients and that their goal is to make their clients happy and satisfied. As Ewelina was doing my eyebrows she was explaining everything step by step, this made me feel more comfortable. I Could see that she is confident and very professional!"
