Permanent Makeup in Finchley: Brows, Eyes & Lips Explained

Permanent makeup (PMU) uses medical-grade pigments deposited into the upper layers of the skin to create the appearance of perfectly applied makeup — every day, effortlessly. At Radiant Skin House we offer PMU for brows, eyes and lips, and our practitioners are specialists in natural-looking, tailored results.

PMU Brows

Brow PMU is the most popular permanent makeup treatment, and with good reason — well-defined brows frame the face and can take years off your appearance. We offer four brow techniques:

• Microblading — fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hairs. Best for clients with some existing brow hair who want a natural, defined look.
• Powder/Ombre Brows — a soft, powdery finish that resembles brow makeup. Longer lasting than microblading and suits oily skin types well.
• Combination Brows — hair strokes at the front fading into a powder finish at the tail. A popular choice for those who want definition with a natural front.
• Nano Brows — ultra-fine strokes created with a machine needle rather than a manual blade. Precise and long-lasting.

PMU Eyes

Eye PMU adds permanent definition to the lash line, creating the appearance of fuller, thicker lashes and subtly defined eyes. Options include lash line enhancement (invisible between the lashes, purely adds depth), classic liner (a thin, defined line) and winged liner. Eye PMU is particularly popular with contact lens wearers and those who struggle with precise liner application.

PMU Lips

Lip PMU adds colour, definition and symmetry to the lips. Popular treatments include lip blush (a translucent wash of colour that enhances natural lip tone), full lip colour, lip liner, and lip neutralisation (which corrects uneven pigmentation for clients with naturally dark or purple-toned lips).

How long does PMU last?

Most PMU treatments last 1–3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Oily skin types and those who use active skincare (retinoids, acids) will see faster fading. A colour boost appointment is recommended annually to maintain vibrancy.

Does it hurt?

A topical anaesthetic is applied before all PMU treatments to minimise discomfort. Most clients describe mild pressure or sensitivity rather than pain. The sensation varies by treatment area — lips tend to be more sensitive than brows.
