What Is Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Semi-permanent makeup is an advanced cosmetic tattooing treatment used to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyes, and lips using carefully placed pigment.
At Immaculate Touch, we use semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) and advanced tattooing techniques to create long-lasting definition while maintaining a soft, natural appearance.
Popular treatments include:
- Microblading and nano brows
- Semi-permanent eyeliner
- Ombré lips and semi-permanent lip colour
These treatments are ideal for anyone wanting consistent definition without daily makeup application.
How Does Semi-Permanent Makeup Work?
The treatment uses either a hand tool or precision equipment to deposit pigment into the skin. The technique used depends on the area being treated.
For brows, microblading uses a hand tool to create ultra-fine lines that resemble individual hairs.
For eyeliner, precision equipment is used to place small amounts of hypoallergenic pigment into the dermal layer of the skin in different thicknesses and styles.
Every treatment is tailored to complement your features and individual goals.
Natural Looking Brows Every Day with Microblading
Microblading is a tattooing technique that uses a hand tool to apply pigment. Fine strokes are created to imitate natural brow hairs, resulting in soft, realistic brows.
Semi-permanent eyebrows can also be life-changing for those with very sparse brows.
Why Choose Microblading?
At Immaculate Touch, we create beautiful, long-lasting brows using the latest techniques and a personalised approach.
Every treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your brow goals, face shape, and desired finish, ensuring results that enhance your natural features.

How Long Does Microblading Last?
