Semi-Permanent Makeup
Breathe. Relax. Let go. Wake up with makeup already done. Eight professional PMU services — brows, lips, eyeliner, scalp, medical and cosmetic restoration — performed by one of the most decorated PMU artists in the country.
Semi-permanent makeup is the highest-skill service in the beauty industry, and it shows up on your face every day for 1–3 years. That’s why choosing the right artist matters more than any other service you book. Our lead PMU artist took first place at a worldwide PMU competition in New York — a credential that puts her in a tier most artists spend their careers trying to reach. We offer eight semi-permanent makeup services across brows, lips, eyes, scalp, and medical/restorative categories, all performed with pharmaceutical-grade pigments, sterile single-use cartridges, and the kind of precision that only comes from thousands of hours of practice.
What Makes Pristine PMU Different
Award-winning artistry.
Our lead PMU artist won first place at a worldwide PMU competition in New York. That’s the credential. It’s not marketing — it’s years of mastery on a global stage, brought to you.
Skill compounds — and you see it.
PMU work done by an elite artist looks natural, heals evenly, wears beautifully through years, and fades cleanly. PMU done by a mediocre artist doesn’t. You’ll live with the result every day. Pay for the artist, not the price point.
Sterile, single-use everything.
Fresh needle cartridges for every client. Fresh pigment. Fresh work surface. No reused anything. This is a non-negotiable standard that half the PMU industry cuts corners on.
Pharmaceutical-grade pigments.
We use premium, hypoallergenic pigments formulated specifically for permanent cosmetics. Not tattoo ink, not gray-market imports. The right pigment is the difference between beautifully aged results and blue-green disasters five years later.
Digital machine technique.
Our PMU work is performed with modern digital rotary PMU machines — consistent depth, minimal trauma, better healing, cleaner lines. The result is natural, not stamped.
Proper consultation + mapping.
Every PMU service starts with mapping and color matching. We don’t put permanent ink in your skin without a full design approval. You see the drawn shape before anything becomes permanent.
Touch-up included in most services.
PMU requires a 6–8 week touch-up to finalize the result. That’s built into most packages — we don’t charge extra for finishing your own work.
Our Semi-Permanent Makeup Services
Beyond our most-booked PMU services — Microblading, Lip Blushing, and Permanent Eyeliner — our certified PMU artists offer a broader menu of specialty cosmetic tattooing and corrective work. Every service is performed by artists trained in modern pigment technology, color theory, and skin-specific deposit techniques. Our lead PMU artist took first place at a worldwide PMU competition in NYC. Available at all three locations.
Semi-Permanent Eyeliner
Natural lash line enhancement or full eyeliner. Ranges from a subtle lash-line darkening (most popular) to a defined winged eyeliner look. No more smudged pencil by noon. Lasts 1–3 years.

Full Lip Tint
Soft, natural lip color that brings back definition and color to pale or uneven lips. Not a lipstick — a subtle, natural shift that makes you look like you’ve got the exact right lipstick on, always.
Lip Blushing
More saturated than a full lip tint. Lip blushing builds a deeper, fuller color that reshapes the lip line, corrects asymmetry, and creates the look of slightly plumper lips without filler. One of the fastest-growing PMU services in the country.

Powder Brows
A fully shaded, ombré-style eyebrow technique that creates the look of beautifully filled brow makeup — soft and faded at the front, building to fuller density toward the tail. Different from microshading in density (heavier, more defined) and from microblading entirely (no hair-stroke simulation; this is shading-only). Best for clients wanting a polished, "filled-in" makeup look without daily application, clients with oily skin that doesn't hold microbladed strokes well, or those whose natural brows have very little density to work with. Heals more vividly than microblading and softens over a few weeks to final color. Available at all three locations.
Microshading
A semi-permanent eyebrow technique that creates a soft, powdered, filled-in look — similar to the effect of pencil or powder brow makeup, but lasting one to three years. Different from microblading, which mimics individual hair strokes; microshading uses tiny pigment dots layered to build gradient color and soft definition. Best suited for clients with oily skin (where microblading strokes can blur), thin or sparse brows needing more density than strokes can deliver, clients wanting a softer, more makeup-like finish, or anyone whose previous microblading has faded and they want to try a different technique. Available at all three locations.
Permanent Makeup Repair
Corrective work for previous permanent makeup that's faded poorly, healed the wrong color, was placed incorrectly, or shifted shape over time. Common issues include eyebrows that healed gray, blue, or red instead of brown; lip blush that turned orange or pink instead of natural tone; eyeliner that's migrated or thickened beyond original placement. Our PMU artists use a combination of color-correcting pigment technique, careful layering, and in some cases referral for tattoo removal before re-pigmentation when the existing work is too saturated to correct directly. Consultation required first. Available at all three Pristine locations.
Scalp Micropigmentation
A specialty cosmetic tattooing service that creates the appearance of fuller hair density on the scalp through thousands of tiny pigment dots placed to mimic the look of stubble or shorter hair follicles. Used to camouflage thinning, fill in receded hairlines, conceal scars from hair transplants or injury, or create the look of a tightly cropped style on bald scalps. Works for clients of any sex and any hair color — the artist matches pigment to the client's existing hair color or desired finished look. Typically requires multiple sessions for full density. Available at all three Pristine locations.
Areola Restoration
A specialty cosmetic tattooing service that restores natural-looking areola and nipple appearance for clients who've undergone mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or other surgical procedures affecting the breast. The work uses 3D shading techniques, custom pigment matching to the client's skin tone, and detailed micro-pigmentation to recreate dimension, color, and the visual texture of natural tissue. This is one of the most meaningful services on our menu — many clients describe it as the final step in their reconstruction journey. Performed in a private, dignified setting by artists with specific training in restorative pigmentation. Available at all three Pristine locations.
What Semi-Permanent Makeup Can Do for You
- Save 15–25 minutes every morning — no more brow pencil, brow gel, lip liner, lipstick, or eyeliner
- Look put-together without effort — you wake up looking like you
- Correct asymmetry — uneven brows, thin or faded lips, asymmetric lash lines that makeup can only cover
- Rebuild what’s been lost — sparse brows, pale lips, faded lash lines, areolas after surgery, hair lost to alopecia
- Survive water, sweat, sleep, tears — PMU doesn’t smudge, transfer, or wash off
- Photograph beautifully — consistent color and shape in every photo
- Restore confidence — especially for medical restoration clients (areola, scalp), the emotional impact is real
Time saved, definition restored, confidence rebuilt — every day, for years.

The PMU Process — What to Expect
Consultation & design.
Your artist maps the shape to your face — brow bone, facial proportions, symmetry, color matching to your natural tone. Nothing happens until you approve the drawing.
Numbing.
Topical anesthetic applied before and during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching — not painful.
First session.
The pigment is deposited in precise strokes or shaded passes depending on service. Takes 2–3 hours for most services.
Initial healing (7–14 days).
Color will look dark and bold initially, then soften dramatically as the skin heals. Do not judge the result until at least week 4. This is the #1 misunderstood part of PMU.
Touch-up (6–8 weeks).
A second session to perfect color saturation, balance shape, and address any areas that didn’t take evenly. This session is when the final result is locked in. Most packages include this touch-up.
Annual maintenance (optional).
Color softens over time. Most clients come back every 12–18 months for a refresh. Without maintenance, PMU fades gradually over 1–3 years.
Pre-Treatment Prep
- No caffeine, alcohol, or blood thinners 24 hours before
- No Accutane for 6 months, no retinoids for 5 days before
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks before
- No Botox or filler in the area for 4 weeks before
- Discontinue fish oil, aspirin, ibuprofen 48 hours before (if medically cleared)
- Come in with clean skin — no makeup in the treatment area
- Eat before your appointment — PMU sessions are long
Post-Treatment Care
- Keep the area clean, dry, and moisturized with the aftercare ointment we provide
- No water, sweat, makeup, or skincare on the treated area for 10 days
- No sun, tanning, saunas, pools, or hot showers for 2 weeks
- Do NOT pick, scratch, or peel — the pigment comes with it
- Sunscreen SPF 30+ once healed, every day, for the life of your PMU
- Schedule the touch-up at 6–8 weeks — do not delay past 10 weeks or the touch-up is significantly harder
Who Is (and Isn’t) a Candidate
Good candidates
- Healthy adults 18+
- Clients with realistic expectations and a consultation-first mindset
- Clients willing to follow pre- and post-care protocols
- Most skin tones and types (artist will confirm at consultation)
Not candidates (or must wait)
- Pregnant or breastfeeding clients
- Clients on Accutane within the past 6 months
- Clients with active skin conditions in the treatment area (eczema, psoriasis, active acne, cold sores)
- Clients on blood thinners without medical clearance
- Clients with keloid scarring history
- Diabetics with uncontrolled blood sugar
- Active chemotherapy patients (must be cleared by oncologist post-treatment)
