Pre Permanent Makeup Care & Tips

  • No working out or alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure.

  • Please eat 20-30 minutes prior to the appointment. This will help keep your blood sugar stable.

  • Avoid any caffeine 2-3 hours prior to appointment.

  • If you bruise easily we recommend taking arnica before the procedure.

  • Avoid sun and tanning for one week prior to the procedure.

  • Discontinue use of Retin-A four weeks prior to the procedure.

Important Pre-Permanent Makeup Information


If you are scheduled for eyeliner, do not wear contact lenses or any eye makeup to the appointment. If you use eyelash growth serum or wear eyelash extensions please discontinue use 4 weeks prior to the appointment.

If you desire permanent makeup on your LIPS and are prone to fever blisters, cold sores, or Herpes on the lips, we recommend that you take Valtrex daily for three days before, the day of, and the day after your procedure. Check doses with your doctor. If you do not have access to Valtrex, you can purchase over-the-counter Abreva® at any drug store.

You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
