Three treatments, done properly.
Every treatment starts with mapping and a colour test against your skin. Nothing goes on until you've seen the shape in the mirror and said yes.

Eyebrows
Microblading, powder, ombré and nano brows. Hair-like strokes or a soft powdered finish, matched to your skin tone.

Lip blush
Full lip colour, or a lipliner that adds shape and definition. Lip camouflage for two-tone lips is available too.

Eyeliner
A thin line on the top, bottom or both, or a winged or smokey look on the top lid.
Straight from the studio chair.
Before and after, as posted on Tess's Instagram. Fresh work looks a little bolder and softens as it heals.

Hi, I'm Tess.
I've done permanent make-up for 24 years, and I still take my time with every face.
We start by talking about how you wear your make-up now. Then I map your brows or lips, test colours against your skin, and we only begin once you love the shape in the mirror. Want soft and barely-there? That's what you'll get. Want more definition? We build it step by step.

Map and match
On the day, the shape is drawn on and the colour is matched to your skin. You see it all before anything is permanent.
