What Is Permanent Makeup (PMU)?

Permanent Makeup—also known as PMU or cosmetic tattooing—is a specialised treatment that uses pigment to enhance your natural features. It includes popular treatments like eyebrow tattooing, lip blush, and eyeliner enhancements.

At Uber Pigmentations in Kilmarnock, PMU is more than a beauty service—it’s a transformation. Whether you're a busy mum, someone with alopecia, or simply looking to save time every morning, PMU can help you feel confident and polished from the moment you wake up.


Why More Women Are Choosing PMU in Scotland

The demand for permanent makeup in Scotland has exploded, especially in areas like Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, and Glasgow. And for good reason:

  • ✔️ Time-saving – no more drawing brows or reapplying lipstick

  • ✔️ Waterproof & sweatproof – perfect for active lifestyles

  • ✔️ Confidence-boosting – especially for those with thinning brows, scars, or uneven lip colour

  • ✔️ Custom-tailored – designed to suit your skin tone, face shape, and style


What to Expect During a PMU Appointment

Angela, a multi-award-winning permanent makeup artist, offers a calming and professional environment in her private Kilmarnock clinic. Here’s how it works:

  1. Consultation: We discuss your goals, lifestyle, and suitability.

  2. Mapping & Design: We pre-draw the shape to suit your unique features.

  3. Pigment Selection: Using advanced colour theory, Angela custom-blends pigments for a natural result.

  4. Treatment: A numbing agent is used to ensure comfort throughout.

  5. Aftercare: You’ll receive a personalised aftercare kit and instructions to ensure perfect healing.


Does Permanent Makeup Hurt?

This is one of the most asked questions—and the answer is reassuring! With high-quality numbing creams and a gentle approach, most clients say the treatment is very manageable, often comparing it to a light scratching sensation.


The Healing Process: What’s Normal?

PMU healing goes through several stages:

  • Day 1-3: Brows or lips may appear darker and slightly swollen

  • Day 4-7: Light flaking begins—this is normal, don’t pick!

  • Day 7-14: Colour may lighten or appear patchy

  • 4-6 Weeks: Full colour settles and a touch-up is performed

Angela provides step-by-step guidance and support during your healing journey to ensure the best results.


What If I’ve Had Bad PMU Before?

Angela specialises in corrections and laser tattoo removal, which can help fade or fully remove previous pigment. Every case is different, and an in-person consultation will determine the best approach.
