Permanent Makeup

What is Semi-Permanent Makeup?

Semi-permanent makeup is a technique where fine lines are scratched into the surface of the skin (0,001-0.003mm). It is makeup that is sweat and water proof, and will save you time in the morning. During the day there is no need for you to do any touch ups.

The perfect solution to having a dazzling look with or without makeup, it solves the problem of having to apply makeup in the morning without the worry of time and consistency. Normal color fading occurs in about 2 years. Yumi will revive and restore your original eyebrow giving you a natural look based on your facial features, color of eyes and hair.

Yumi will spend time during the consultation to review any concerns or questions you may have, your desired result, in her quest to achieve the best outcome and your satisfaction. Your safety is our highest priority, she uses all new sanitized and sterilized equipment for every application which is opened in front of you.

What type of semi-permanent makeup is available?

Eyebrows Regular

  • Yumi creates the most natural gradation using monochromatic color to achieve the best result to your desired look, normally within 2 visits.

Eyebrows 3D

  • If you have little to no eyebrow left, Yumi creates a three-dimensional effect using gradation layering giving the effect of more volume.

Eyeline

  • The monochromatic color is applied close to the root of the eyelashes to create a sharper definition allowing one to use little or no makeup to avoid smudging due to touch, tears or sweat.

Process of treatment

Appointment

  • Artmake Yumi is By Appointment Only. Please contact as soon as possible as schedule appointments fill quickly.
  • Please call for a free consultation prior to treatment.
  • For an appointment, please call Yumi at (808) 386-4914 or via the contact form on this website.

Free consultation

  • Yumi meets with you for a consultation meeting which normally takes about half an hour prior to your application visit.

Preparation

  • It is recommended that you have a proper amount of sleep as well as avoiding alcohol consumption before any application visit.
  • Lack of sleep and consumption of alcohol can inhibit the effectiveness of anesthesia (numbing cream) and cause swelling to the area to be worse.

Treatment

  • Decreasing pain level
    To decrease the pain, Yumi applies numbing cream to the target area 20-30 minutes prior to starting treatment. A painkiller without aspirin is recommended to be taken one hour prior to treatment.
  • Hand-Curved Technique
    A majority of cosmetic tattoo applied today uses a machine that rotates and vibrates the skin which gives the end result a flat look. Yumi focuses her attention to the fine details, applying the hand-curved technique without any use of a machine which does require more application time, though, the results are impressive giving more dimensional levels without the flat look.

After care

  • It is recommended after treatment, that the area be immediately iced down for the rest of the day.
  • For the next week use moisturizer (e.g. vaseline) to moisturize the area.
  • During this time, please avoid swimming, hot yoga, sauna or facial treatment.
  • Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Touch-up

  • A follow-up touch-up visit is required 2 to 3 weeks after the initial treatment.
  • Allowing for additional customizing to your specific needs. (e.g. adjusting thickness or length)
