Permanent makeup
PMU services
Permanent makeup (PMU) places pigment in the upper layers of the skin to define the brows, lips and eyes. Results are long-lasting and soften gradually over time.
01 · Brows
Microblading
Microblading uses a fine hand tool to draw hair-like strokes into the skin, imitating natural brow hairs. It can fill sparse areas, refine the shape and add definition while keeping a natural texture.
02 · Brows
Powder brows
Also known as Magic Shading, powder brows are created with a PMU machine that builds a soft gradient of pigment. The result looks like lightly filled-in brows — fuller than microblading, without individual strokes.
It is often a good choice for oily, normal and combination skin.
03 · Lips
Lip pigmentation
Lip pigmentation adds soft, lasting colour and can define the lip line. The shade and intensity are chosen together in consultation, from a subtle tint to a more noticeable colour.
04 · Eyes
Permanent eyeliner
Permanent eyeliner places pigment along the lash line — from a fine line that makes the lashes look fuller to a more defined line. The design is matched to the shape of your eyes.
The appointment
What to expect
1
Consultation
You talk through the result you want, and Martina assesses your features and skin to recommend a technique and colour.
2
Design
The shape is drawn and measured on the skin, then adjusted with you until it feels right.
3
Pigment
Pigment is applied with the chosen technique. A topical numbing cream is used to keep you comfortable.
4
Aftercare
You receive aftercare instructions. A touch-up is usually recommended after four to six weeks.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Usually one to three years. How long it lasts depends on your skin type, sun exposure and aftercare. The colour softens gradually, and a refresh session can restore it.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream is used to keep discomfort to a minimum. Sensitivity varies from person to person, and you can talk it through with Martina beforehand.
How long does an appointment take?
Plan for around two to three hours for brows, including consultation and design. Timing for lips and eyeliner can differ, and Martina will confirm it when you book.
Do I need a touch-up?
Yes. A touch-up session four to six weeks after the first appointment lets the result be refined once the skin has healed.
Where are appointments held?
Martina is based in New York. The appointment location and availability are confirmed with you directly when you get in touch.
