Don’t get us wrong: sometimes we’ve got all the time in the world for makeup. Like when we’ve got a big event on a Saturday and we start getting ready from about 3pm (read: 12pm). Isn’t that what cloudy afternoons were made for? More often than not though, we’d rather roll out of bed looking like we’ve done it in our sleep. Semi-permanent makeup is a bit of a life hack – particularly for holidays, when it’s too hot to put on mascara.

1 Perfectly arched brows
Even your best brow brush might find it hard to compete with mighty microblading. This semi-permanent treatment involves tattooing gentle strokes of colour onto your brow, so it looks like natural hair. The therapist uses a numbing gel, so it shouldn't hurt. What it should do is leave your brows looking perfectly shaped and filled.

2 Well-defined lips
Lip tattoos are a soft, non-invasive way to create the illusion of a plumped up pout. The tattoo defines the border of the lips, making them look more defined. Most therapists gently blend the colour towards the middle of the lip, so it seems more natural. Modern treatments use a semi-permanent pigment instead of ink for an understated and matte finish.

3 Fluttery eyelashes
There are many treatments out there dedicated to eyelashes that it's (almost) hard to keep track, but here are three we love:
-
An eyelash perm for a natural-looking curl that lasts for up to six weeks
-
A tint so you can use less mascara or forget it all together
-
An all singing, all dancing lash lift that straightens and curls for the illusion of longer lashes.

FAQs
How does microblading work for your eyebrows?
Microblading uses gentle strokes of colour tattooed onto your brow to mimic natural hair. The therapist applies a numbing gel, so the treatment shouldn’t be painful. Your brows will appear perfectly shaped and filled, looking natural and defined.
What does a lip tattoo treatment do for your lips?
A lip tattoo defines the border of your lips for a more defined look. Most therapists blend the pigment towards the centre for a natural, understated, and matte finish. This semi-permanent treatment creates the illusion of a plumper pout in a non-invasive way.
Which eyelash treatments can give you longer or more defined lashes?
Three popular options include an eyelash perm, a tint, and a lash lift. An eyelash perm gives a natural curl that lasts up to six weeks, a tint reduces the need for mascara, and a lash lift straightens and curls for the illusion of longer lashes.
How long does an eyelash perm typically last?
An eyelash perm provides a natural-looking curl that lasts for up to six weeks. This treatment is low maintenance, giving you lifted lashes each day without the daily use of a curler.
