TEMptations Brows & Beyond

09/16/2025

Hey…. Let’s chat!

Many of my clients come to me and the first words out of their mouths when I ask them how they want their brows to look…..

“I don’t want them big and dark or to dramatic, I just want them to look natural.”

Perfect! Then we are on the same page my friends!!

We all (even my brows friends with no hair) have a natural bone structure and hair pattern that mostly follows that bonde structure. If I waver to far beyond that…. You get those unnatural results.

The pigment color choice should also be as close to your natural brow hair color. This also helps to yield a more natural healed result.

As I tell all my clients….. we are going for the HEALED results. So be patient and weather the ride during the healing process. What your brows are when you initially get out of my chair is NOT what they will be when they are healed.

Your initial brows have minor swelling, redness, pigment that is lying in the top layer of skin, lymph drainage and some people even have pinprick bleeding.

The evolution of your brows during the healing process resolves all of these things.

You can expect to lose 30-60% of that initial color. The pigment fades into the skin and softens leaving behind those “natural” results you’re wanting.

Message me if you have any questions. I’m happy to help anyone and there is NEVER any pressure or obligation.

Let’s chat…..

Permanent eyeliner and what you should know if you’re considering this service…..

The Don’ts

🛑 No lash growth serums - for at least 30 days and preferably 3 months.

Why?

1️⃣Lash serum makes the skin thin and fragile. This can cause increased bleeding causing risk of pigment migration leaving poorly defined lines.

2️⃣ Increases the risk of infection.

3️⃣ Increased difficulty implanting the pigment in the skin causing increased swelling, bruising.

🛑 No lash extentions.

Why?

The extension and the glue can interfere with the implementation of the pigment. They can cause increased pain and risk for infection.
The needle can get hung up on the extensions and pull them out causing more damage to your natural lashes.

🛑 No contacts

Why?

Increased the risk of infection. Contacts lens have bacteria on them from your fingers touching them and the air that can easily transfer to the area.

🛑 No Makeup near the eye area for at least 7 days and potentially 14 days. The scabbing and/or peeling must be completely resolved before any eye makeup can be resumed. If you do not have scabbing or peeling then 7 days.

Have more questions? Message me. I’m here to help!

Ever see someone with permanent makeup on their brows and you thought they were to big, to dark, to much?

This is probably true for you and that’s the beauty of permanent makeup. It’s customizable!

I create brows that are custom to you and your features.

How do I do this?

I look at many things….skin type and condition. Bone structure. Natural brow pattern …. Are just a few.

We also discuss your lifestyle, your daily makeup routine and how you do your brows.

I choose pigment that is closest to your own brow hair color.

Have you been thinking about permanent makeup for your brows? Message me. Ask me tons of questions. Let me help you decide if it’s right for you.

You NEVER have to feel obligated or worry about pressure. I don’t roll like that! I’m truly here to help you.

✨ Your new permanent makeup is an investment in yourself — and like any investment, it needs proper care to last beautifully! ✨

Here are 5 key tips to protect & maintain your brows, lips, or SMP:

1️⃣ Sun Protection is EVERYTHING ☀️
UV rays fade pigments faster than anything else. Always wear SPF 30+ on the area (yes, even on brows & lips).

2️⃣ Hydrate the Right Way 💧
Moisturized skin = longer-lasting results. Use a gentle, fragrance-free balm/cream recommended by your artist.

3️⃣ No Picking or Scratching 🙅‍♀️
During healing, flakes and scabs are normal. Let them fall off naturally — picking can pull out pigment.

4️⃣ Avoid Harsh Treatments 🧖‍♀️
Laser facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion can lighten your PMU. Always let your technician know you have permanent makeup!

5️⃣ Touch-Ups are Part of the Process 🎨
Permanent makeup is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. A color boost every 1–3 years keeps your results fresh.

💬 Tell me in the comments:
👉 Which tip surprised you the most?
👉 Or do you already follow all 5?

Tag a friend who just got PMU so they don’t miss this!

Take 2…..

Wednesday after my appointment, I got the call that my results (I have both ultrasound and mammogram) were “abnormal” and I needed to return and have repeat testing…..Scare #3 ugh

That was today and I am so happy to report I am ok and the area of concern is benign.

Friends it is so important you do your monthly checks and yearly mammograms. Reality is this could have been more serious.

Did you know….

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. (Only lung cancer kills more women each year.) The chance that any woman will die from breast cancer is about 1 in 43 (about 2.3%).

Black women have the highest death rate from breast cancer. This is thought to be partially because Black women have a higher risk of triple-negative breast cancer, more than any other racial or ethnic group.
At every age, Black women are more likely to die from breast cancer than any other race or ethnic group.

Don’t wait or procrastinate call and schedule your appointment now…. Go on git…. I care about you!

This is a friendly reminder……

Squish your girls monthly and don’t forget to get your yearly mammograms.

I have had 2 “scares” over the years that thankfully turned out to be nothing but being a paramedical tattoo artist I see many women and some men that this wasn’t their experience.

So, go make the call…. Right now…. No, seriously. Call 🙂 I care about you!!

Brows, eyes and teeth oh my!

I woke up to a text that reminded me and reinforced why I chose to become a paramedical permanent make-up artist.

Helping people completes me. It defines me. It is who I am.

Thank you for that wonderful reminder message. I needed it! 🥰❤️😍
