Lip blush is semi-permanent makeup that gives your lips a wash of color that lasts 1-2 years. It can make your lips look a little fuller and defined but does not change the shape or size of your lips. It can enhance the symmetry of your lips, neutralize uneven pigmentation, and cover scars.

Providing A Clean Sterile Studio

Dawn — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 20:48:39 +0000

Providing a clean sterile studio environment is part of being a permanent makeup (PMU) artist, and Bellissimo Brows takes precautionary measures at ALL times to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. I’ve received training to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and keep my certification in good standing annually by taking continuing educational classes to stay in compliance with any changes that involve how to protect you and myself from infectious diseases.

Providing clean sterile set up for each client is important to preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

To help protect you during your appointment I would like to let you know of precautions that are taken at all times to prevent the spread of infectious diseases:

Using powerful disinfectant cleaners Virex and Cavicide to clean and sanitize all surfaces. These products comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for bloodborne pathogens. Used in healthcare and other facilities where cleaning and prevention of cross-contamination are critical.
Allowing for proper disinfecting/sterilizing between clients.
Allotting time for proper sterile set up between clients.
Sterile set ups with one use disposable products.
New clean gloves are used for each client.
Using a shield mask when working on clients.
Hand sanitizer for you to use during your appointment.
If you have an underlying condition that suppresses your immune system, have a fever, persistent cough, cold, or flu please stay home (you shouldn’t be out and about around anyone). I practice what I preach and I don’t jeopardize your health if I’m sick and require you to do the same.
If you’re not feeling well, please try to reschedule within 48 hours of your appointment.

Hospital grade cleaners are used to disinfect between each client.

Other Precautions FYI:

Above all take care to wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. This should especially be done after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. In the event that soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Always cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; throw used tissues in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve, not your hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, computers, phones, keyboards, sinks, toilets and counter tops.

Your health and safety are first and foremost at Bellissimo Brows. A clean sterile studio environment is key to preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Ombre’ Powder Brows

Dawn — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 18:44:00 +0000

OMBRE' POWDER BROWS

Ombre’ powder brows are meant to create a soft powdered look that you get using a brow powder or pomade. Powdered brows are done with a semi-permanent makeup device and do not have any microbladed hair strokes. This type of brow is good for all client skin types. It is also good for someone who has brow hair and wants more color for fuller looking brows. This technique is NOT the same as traditional tattooed brows.

Tattoo Removal

Dawn — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 13:00:56 +0000

TATTOO REMOVAL

Tattoo removal is done with a highly concentrated saline removal product. The removal product adheres with semi-permanent makeup or tattoo inks resulting in a removal procedure that works on all ink colors unlike lasers. This, increases the potential for successful removal and decreases the number of treatment sessions required. Laser removal can be costly and require multiple sessions for long periods of time. Removal is similar to the original procedure. Instead of implanting ink or pigment, the solution deposited to the original tattoo pigment and draws the ink to the skin’s surface.

PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR YOUR REMOVAL:

Submit a clear high-quality full face photo
If this is for your brows submit photos of each brow.

If this is for a tattoo, submit a photo with a ruler or measuring tape next to tattoo so that I can reference for size and scale.
Please provide a list of all health conditions and medications.
How long you’ve had the semi-permanent makeup or tattoo.
Ethnic background to understand the risk for hyper pigmentation.

You will start to see the results within a few days, after the first treatment. You must keep the area dry for 48 hours during which a scab will form over the treated area. Complete removal is possible after one session, however, many tattoos require more than one treatment. Compared to the amount of time required to undergo laser removal, tattoos can be completely removed in months. Package options are available if it is determined that you need multiple sessions to remove unwanted ink. Corrective procedures will not be considered prior to 30 days post healing.

Sunscreen As Part Of Your Brow Aftercare Routine!

Dawn — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 00:50:03 +0000

Using sunscreen everyday is important not just because skin cancer is on the rise, but it can also prevent premature fading of your newly microbladed brows!

One of the first things that I tell my clients after their brows have healed is to make sure that they use sunscreen daily! With the earth’s depleted ozone allowing more harmful UV rays to reach our skin, it has become a must that we wear sunscreen daily to help prevent skin cancer and premature aging. When you have any type of semi-permanent makeup or tattoos, sunscreen can help you have longer lasting results.

My husband and I love to ride our bikes on the back roads of Southern Maryland on the weekends! We both put sunscreen on from head to toe before we start riding. One Sunday after a 50 mile+ bike ride (I will ride for doughnuts just so you know lol!), I noticed what I thought was dirt on my face after I had showered. I washed my face again, even though I had just scrubbed it! Mind you, when we finish riding I typically have a face full of bugs and dirt stuck to me from sweat and sunscreen, so I thought maybe I missed some spots……wrong! After scrubbing for another 5 minutes the “dirt” wasn’t going anywhere! The following week I made an appointment to see a dermatologist to find out what caused the discoloration. The doctor informed me that I had sun damage. The first thing she asked me was how much time was I spending in the sun and secondly how often did I reapply sunscreen. I learned that I should have reapplied my sunscreen every couple of hours when outside even on cloudy days!

Luckily, I was able to reverse the majority of the damage and have been a sunscreen fiend ever since. I use a moisturizer with SPF 30 before I walk out the door every morning! I use a higher SPF when riding, going to the beach/pool, or other outside activities. While on the go I use a couple of different products for my sun protection by SuperGoop (I’m not being paid to recommend their products). I love their Defense Refresh Setting Mist (it comes in a travel size) and 100% Mineral Invincible Setting Powder! Both products are great for sun protection during the day. What I really love about their brand is that I can protect my, skin, brows, and refresh my makeup throughout the day. I cannot stress how important it is to use a sunscreen on your brows if you have microblading, shading, or tattoos etc!!

Other brands like Neutrogena, La Roche Posay, Colorscience, and CeraVe, are great and may work better for your budget, skin type, or situation. At the end of the day, it is important that you’re using sunscreen to protect your skin from skin cancer, and premature aging. Last and most importantly, your brows from fading too soon!!

Do you have a favorite on the go sunscreen? If so please share because I’m always looking for great products that actually work!

When you’re ready for beautiful brows contact me, I would love to be the artist that makes your brow experience great!

Why You Need Your First Touch Up!

Dawn — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 17:45:18 +0000

Getting your brows microbladed is a two phase process, your initial appointment and your first touch up! During your initial appointment, your brow shape and color will be determined before the actual microblading process starts. Once you finish, you will see your brows for the first time and the excitement will set in! Your brows will look fresh, defined and probably dark. But since you won’t really see the final results until after your brows heal, what you see will make you feel like the process is complete. Before you get excited and think that you don’t have to come back for a year or two, understand that as your brows heal, your healed results might look different. You might need shape and/or color corrections, or you may need some shading. This is why your first touch up is essential to perfecting your brows!

When do you need the first touch up?

Because the final result isn’t apparent right after your first appointment, you will need to return for a follow up touch up at 4 to 6 weeks. Your brows will heal lighter by the time you come back for your follow up. While I don’t charge for my first touch up, I would advise that if you’re getting your brows done by someone else, you confirm whether or not the microblading artist charges for the first follow up. I include the first touch up, because I want my clients to come back so that I can make sure that their brows are on point!

What to expect at your follow up touch up….

At your first follow up, one of the first things that I look for with microblading clients, is whether the microblading has healed to crisp fine strokes. If the healed strokes are still visible, I will see how the skin has retained the color. If your color retention is good, then I look at shape corrections and make adjustments to the shape accordingly.

Clients who have oily skin may experience more fading than someone with dry skin. Their microbladed brows may not be as dark as they would like them to be. The hair strokes may be blurred, but the shape is excellent. There is a misconception that all people of color have oily skin, but that this is not always the case. For all clients with oily skin, at this point I will discuss going for more of a powdered look. This will allow you to still have a defined brow that you don’t have to draw or pencil in everyday!

Microbladed brows blurred because of clients oily skin and were shaded at touch up.

Make sure you schedule your follow up….

Long story short lol, most people will not notice any unevenness, lack of pigment retention, or slight misshapes until after a few weeks. This is the reason that you need to come back for your first follow up touch up! I want my clients to have perfected brows that they can wake up to everyday for as long as possible:)! So the first thing you should do after your initial appointment is schedule your follow up appointment, because I want everyone to have Bellissimo Brows!!
