Permanent makeup can look soft, elegant and very natural when it is planned and executed correctly. At MedAcademy in Crawley many new clients tell us that they are afraid of brows that are too dark or lips that look artificial. The key to beautiful PMU is good communication, proper technique and realistic expectations.

Choose A PMU Artist With A Style You Like

Every PMU artist has a slightly different style. Before you book, take time to look at their portfolio.

• Check if the results look natural and well healed
• Look for different skin types and ages in the photos
• Avoid artists who only show very heavy, dramatic work if you want a subtle effect

Start With A Conservative Shape And Colour

Pigment always heals lighter than immediately after the procedure. It is usually better to start more natural and build intensity at the top up session if needed.

• Choose shades that match or slightly enhance your natural colouring
• Respect your natural brow growth pattern and facial proportions
• Remember that PMU is not the same as heavy daily makeup

Trust The Pre Drawing And Mapping Stage

During your appointment we always perform a careful pre drawing and mapping of brows or lips.

• This is your chance to discuss shape and symmetry
• Do not rush this part, it affects the final result
• Small adjustments on paper are much easier than corrections in the skin

Avoid Common PMU Mistakes

Some of the most common PMU problems include:

• Brows placed too close together or too high
• Colours that are too dark, too ashy or too warm for your skin
• Lip outlines that are too sharp or far outside the natural border

These issues can often be reduced or completely avoided when you work with a trained professional who uses modern techniques and high quality pigments.

Follow Aftercare Instructions Carefully

Even the best PMU work can be compromised by poor aftercare. You will receive clear written instructions after your treatment, but in general you should:

• Avoid picking or scratching the healing area
• Protect the skin from water, sweat and sun as advised
• Use only recommended products while the area is healing

If you want soft, natural looking brows, eyeliner or lip blush in Crawley, book your PMU consultation at MedAcademy. We will discuss your goals, review your skin and design a plan that enhances your features without making you feel overdone.
