Semi-Permanent Make Up (SPMU)

Semi-permanent Makeup (or SPMU) is also commonly known as cosmetic tattooing.  It is a specialised technique that is often referred to as micro-pigmentation - "a process that involves depositing coloured pigments into the upper reticular layer of the skins dermis".

Semi-permanent make up is a more permanent solution to the loss of hair on the brows, loss of eyelashes or pigment in the skin of the lips.

Origin SPMU aims to create a hyper realistic effect but the SPMU can be tailored to be as bold or subtle as any individual likes, it can all be discussed in a consultation. For microblading, we use a small hand-held device with tiny needles to apply the pigment.

As this involves breaking the skin, having a skilled practitioner is vital as there can be a risk of infection if it’s either done by an untrained practitioner or carried out in an unhygienic environment. Maria is a micropigmentation specialist with advanced training, a long tack record of happy clients and artistic, tasteful work.

Currently the areas SPMU offered is:

  • Eyebrows (Phibrow Microblading, ombre, powder and combination brows.)

  • Eyes (Phicontour Top eyeliner - baby or decorative and bottom eyeliner.)

  • Lips (Phicontour Lip blushing, lipstick effect for bolder styles.)

The colours and pigments used can be mixed to create tailored shades. There is no shade too light or dark, it can all be mixed and created for your need.

A patch test is required 24 hours prior to the appointment.
