Questions & Advice

Do you have a question on permanent cosmetics that you'd like Karen to personally answer? Simply email: karen@karenbetts.co.uk and your question may be featured on here with a personal reply from Karen.

Does it look natural?
Yes, if you go to a reputable and highly experienced practitioner, your permanent makeup will look as natural and attractive as conventional cosmetics – indeed, because it has been applied by a professional makeup artist it will look sensational!

Who would benefit from Permanent Makeup?
Anyone who wants to look their best anytime or anywhere should consider permanent enhancements. You will look younger, fresher and more attractive and will save valuable hours every week by not having to apply and reapply your makeup.

Permanent makeup is also ideal for people who take part in sport, have difficulty applying makeup or are allergic to cosmetics. It can also help to camouflage scarring and bring life-changing benefits to alopecia sufferers and to people who have had breast reconstruction work or have experienced hair loss following chemotherapy treatment.

Does it hurt?
There’s nothing to worry about on that score. Some clients have likened the sensation to having their eyebrows tweezed. A simple cream will help if you do feel any discomfort.

What features can you improve?
We can give you beautiful eyebrows and lashes, perfect lips, and cheeks which glow with health. Under our medical procedures we can help people who have suffered hair loss or have had breast surgery.

What will I look like after my treatment?
Although some people may have a little swelling or redness this will soon disappear. For the first few days after your treatment, your makeup will look a little darker but the colours will soon lighten to create your desired look.

How long does it last for?
You should consider it to be permanent, however over time the colour will fade as the skin rejuvenates. That is why Karen recommends that her clients have their colour boosted every 12 to 18 months to keep the look complete and fresh.

Can I still wear conventional makeup?
Yes, permanent makeup is designed to enhance your natural features but you still have the option of ‘ringing the changes’ by applying conventional makeup.

Is Permanent Makeup expensive?
Not really. It’s difficult to give a price because treatments are tailor-made to your individual requirements – it could be a simple beauty spot, an eyeliner procedure or more complicated work. If you balance out the cost against the lasting results that permanent cosmetics give you, the treatment offers really good value. But just call us, tell us what you want and we’ll give you a price.
