What Is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is the cosmetic application of pigment beneath the skin to enhance natural facial features. Most modern PMU is semi-permanent, meaning it gradually fades over 1-5 years rather than lasting forever like traditional tattoos.
PMU is sometimes called:
- Cosmetic tattoo
- Micropigmentation
- Permanent cosmetics
- Semi-permanent makeup
PMU offers an alternative to applying daily makeup for clients who:
- Lead active lifestyles (athletes, swimmers, busy parents)
- Have allergies to traditional cosmetics
- Have low vision or limited fine motor control
- Want to look polished without daily effort
- Have alopecia, sparse natural growth, or asymmetric features

Choosing the Right Permanent Makeup Service
Every client is different. During your free 15-minute consultation, GG considers:
- Skin type: Oily, normal, dry, or combination — each retains pigment differently.
- Skin tone & undertone: Determines pigment selection for natural-looking color.
- Existing brow/lip shape and color: Some clients enhance, others reshape.
- Lifestyle: Frequent swimmers and sweat-heavy athletes may need shorter-cycle services.
- Healing history: Past tattoos, scars, or sensitivity affect technique choice.
- Goals: Natural look vs. dramatic, low-maintenance vs. crisp definition.
Why Choose a Licensed PMU Artist?
Permanent makeup is regulated as tattooing in Connecticut. Choose only artists who hold a current Connecticut Tattoo Artist License issued by the Department of Public Health. GG has held this license for over a decade and renews annually.
Beyond licensure, look for:
- Hands-on training certifications for each specific technique
- Bloodborne Pathogens Certification (annual renewal)
- Single-use, sterile equipment for every client
- FDA-compliant pigments with documented batch tracking
- Portfolio of healed work (not just freshly-done photos)
- Realistic consultations — an artist who tells you when you’re not a good candidate
The Permanent Makeup Process
Every PMU service at Eyebrows by GG follows the same careful structure:
1. Free 15-minute consultation — discuss expectations, contraindications, technique selection
2. Pre-appointment preparation — written instructions emailed to you
3. Mapping — custom shape designed for your face
4. Numbing — topical anesthetic for full comfort
5. Procedure — performed in our sterile Milford studio
6. Aftercare briefing — verbal and written instructions plus aftercare kit
7. Free perfecting session at 6 weeks (included with most services)
8. Optional annual touch-ups to maintain crisp results
Permanent Makeup Aftercare
While aftercare details vary by service, all PMU shares core principles:
- Days 1-7: Keep area dry. No water, sweat, makeup, or skincare on the treated area.
- Days 8-14: Scabbing and peeling phase. Do not pick. Apply healing balm as instructed.
- Days 15-30: Settling phase. SPF on healed brows/lips when outdoors.
- 6 weeks: Free perfecting session refines any uneven healing.

What clients say about this service.
I came in for brows and ended up adding lip blush in the same visit. Both healed perfectly — saved me a trip.

Quick answers.
What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup (PMU) is a cosmetic tattoo that deposits pigment beneath the skin's surface to enhance brows, lips, or eyeliner. Most PMU is semi-permanent and fades over 1–3 years.
What PMU services do you offer?
Microblading, combo brows, powder brows, nanoblading, lip blush, and consultation/correction. Eyeliner and full-lip color are by consultation only.
Is permanent makeup safe?
Yes when performed by a licensed tattoo artist with proper sterile technique and FDA-compliant pigments. GG has held a CT tattoo license for 20+ years.
How long does permanent makeup last?
1–3 years for most services. Lip blush and powder brows hold longest; microblading fades fastest, especially on oily skin.
Can I bring a reference photo?
Yes — we encourage it. Bring photos of brows you like and brows you don't. GG works with you to define what fits YOUR face.
Do you do PMU corrections?
Yes — correction work is a specialty. Bring photos of your existing PMU to the free consultation for evaluation.
How much does PMU cost?
Pricing varies by service: $250–$450. The free 15-minute consultation gives you exact pricing for your specific request.
