Permanent make-up

Permanent make-up (PMU)

Depositing pigment into the skin to lastingly define brows, eyeliner or lips.

Permanent make-up is a form of cosmetic pigmentation: colour pigments are placed into the upper layer of skin to define brows, eyeliner or lip contour. It saves time on daily make-up.

Good to know:

PMU fades over time, so it is really “semi-permanent”. A thorough consultation, a patch test and hygienic work are part of any reputable treatment. Many regions enforce strict hygiene rules for it.
