Have questions about Permanent Makeup? Our FAQ covers everything you need to know about Powder Ombre Brows, Combo Brows, Nano Brows, Lip Blush, healing, aftercare, touch-ups, and what to expect before, during, and after your appointment at Wink Ink Studios.
Wink Ink Studios specializes in Permanent Makeup (PMU) and beauty enhancements including Powder Ombre Brows, Combo Brows, Nano Brows, Lip Blush Tattoo, Lash Extensions, Lash Lifts, and Brow Lamination. Every treatment is customized to complement your facial features while creating natural, long-lasting results.
Powder Ombre Brows is one of the most popular semi-permanent makeup techniques. Using a cosmetic tattoo machine, pigment is gently implanted into the skin to create soft, shaded brows that resemble perfectly applied makeup.
Powder Brows are ideal if you want:
• Fuller-looking eyebrows
• Low-maintenance beauty
• Smudge-proof brows
• Long-lasting results
• A soft, natural gradient effect
Powder Ombre Brows create a soft, pixelated makeup look using machine shading.
Combo Brows combine realistic hair strokes with soft shading for added definition and dimension.
During your consultation, your permanent makeup artist will recommend the technique best suited for your skin type, existing brows, and desired look.
Most Permanent Makeup treatments last between 2–3 years, depending on:
• Skin type
• Lifestyle
• Sun exposure
• Skincare products
• Immune system
• Aftercare
Annual color boost appointments help keep your brows looking fresh.
Most clients describe the procedure as mild discomfort rather than pain.
A professional topical numbing cream is applied throughout the appointment to maximize comfort. Many clients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.
Absolutely not! You should never shave your eyebrows before your appointment. As your Permanent Makeup Artist, I carefully design your new brows by mapping them to your unique facial features, bone structure, natural brow growth, and facial symmetry.
Your existing eyebrow hair is an important part of creating a beautiful, natural-looking result. During the appointment, only a few stray hairs that fall outside your customized brow shape may be gently removed if necessary.
Whether you're getting Powder Ombre Brows, Combo Brows, or another semi permanent makeup treatment, our goal is to enhance your natural brows—not remove them.
Please arrive with your natural eyebrows intact. This allows us to create the most flattering and customized brow shape for you.

Permanent Makeup is ideal for anyone who wants to:
• Save time getting ready
• Have fuller-looking brows
• Correct sparse or uneven eyebrows
• Simplify their morning routine
• Wake up with perfect brows every day
• Enhance their natural beauty
A consultation is required to ensure you're a suitable candidate.
Your appointment typically takes 2.5–3 hours, including:
• Consultation
• Brow mapping
• Shape approval
• Color matching
• Cosmetic tattoo procedure
• Aftercare instructions
We never rush the process because precision is everything.
A perfect set of brows usually requires two appointments.
Your initial appointment creates the foundation, while your 6–8 week perfecting session refines color, shape, and retention after healing.
Before your appointment:
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
• Avoid caffeine on the day of your appointment.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications unless prescribed by your doctor.
• Do not wax or tint your brows immediately before your appointment.
• Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and chemical peels around the brow area.
Following these instructions helps improve pigment retention.
Your brows will appear darker for the first few days.
During healing:
• Mild flaking is normal.
• Color may appear lighter before returning.
• Do not pick or scratch the area.
• Keep the area clean and dry.
• Follow all aftercare instructions.
Healing generally takes 4–6 weeks.

No.
When applied correctly by a trained lash artist using proper isolation and weight selection, lash extensions should not damage healthy natural lashes.
Proper application and aftercare are key to maintaining healthy lashes.

Avoid oil-based products around the eyes.
Book fills every 2–3 weeks.
