New Brows and Gorgeous Eyes
New Brows and Gorgeous Eyes
The lovely Judy has been one of my clients for her beauty treatments for quite a few years now. I have always tinted her brows and eyelashes to give them a bit more definition but as many people know this only lasts 4-6 weeks. She was getting fed up of applying brow pencil and eye-liner everyday, then having to fix smudges throughout the day as well. So she bit the bullet and booked in to have her new brows and gorgeous eyes defined with permanent make-up at my clinic.
We did brows first. Drawing the desired shape on with pencil first to make sure she was happy with the shape. We decided on doing hair stroke brows to keep them as natural as possible, but at the same time giving her the much needed, and wanted definition to her natural brow.
The colour was chosen based on her skin colouring, we went for a rich warm brown which perfectly complemented her eye colour and hair colour too.
Below are some before and straight after pics will have to wait a few weeks for the fully healed result. Colour will have faded slightly. The jet black eye-liner will also fade to a soft black once it has healed into the skin.
Another delighted customer! If you want to book in for your free no-obligation consultation to see what permanent make-up can do for you please call me 07920032353

Testimonial From Jayne
Testimonial From Jayne
Finally got round to putting a few words together following my eyebrow experience with you, sorry its taken me so long no excuses and I’m so happy with them so here goes.
As I said before, having dipped my toe in the water before and had an unpleasant experience, I was a bit anxious second time round. I needn’t have worried……….you put me at ease right from the start and, whilst your bubbly personality shone through from the beginning, you are a total professional. From the very first pre-treatment appointment you were reassuring and I trusted you – a big plus given my previous experience. As for the treatment and result itself, I couldn’t have asked for better, you constantly checked my comfort and I never felt uncomfortable with the treatment at any time. As for the result, it has changed my morning make-up routine, no more drawing on eyebrows that don’t match or that slide off my face during the course of the day. In addition you have also managed to correct the previous disaster that I was walking around with every day so again, what more could I ask for ?
This experience has shown me how important it is to do your homework before you undergo any treatments and how the person who does the treatment is the key to getting the results you hope for. Having the eyebrows I have now changes that compliment my face no more drawn on granny surprised look for me and no effort on my part every morning, what a result. I feel good even without make up and i cant grumble at that at my age!, I would not hesitate to recommend Amy and will definitely have them topped up when the time comes. Big thank you to you Amy.

Your New Brows
Your New Brows
When brows are first done they will be darker than your used too, but this only lasts about 5 days and there is good reason why they are dark to start with. While the treatment takes place the blood and lymph rush to the surface which can make the chosen colour look darker, but also as the skin heals you are going to loose up to 70% of the pigment! The skin sees the pigment as a foreign body and tries to push it out. So if the colour is a bit of a shock to what your used to, they will be the perfect colour once healed.
If it has been your first treatment you may have some areas that may not have taken so well, you shouldn’t worry as this will be filled in and any tweaks made at the 6 week top up appointment.
I always warn people that as the brows heal they may experience some scabbing, but nearly everyone that came back just said they had a slight flaking of the skin, and they said the only thing people noticed (if they even noticed) were the amazing new brows they had. That’s how natural they are.
Each colour is custom blended to take into account skin tone and hair colour, the shape of your new brows is drawn on and shown to you for your input before any treatment takes place. I will also take a look at your skin and advise you on how long the pigment will last. There are lots of factors when talking about how long the pigment will last in each individual, these include, skin type, skin care regime, using an spf, and age. I will be able to give you a rough idea on when a colour booster will be needed but it usually works out to be 1 year to 18 months.
So when your brows are done, yes they will be a bit darker but there’s no need to hide! Show them off!

Eyelash Extensions vs Permanent Eyeliner
Permanent Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are a big thing at the moment, with people having them done for a special event or a holiday and some people having them topped up every 2-4 weeks! And I can totally understand why. Waking up with gorgeous eyes, going swimming without looking like a panda, not having to worry about the emotional moment at a wedding, they are fab. But please when you decide to have lash extensions, do your research! Many lash technicians are fully qualified and can offer you an experience you will love, but there are a few out there who will give you an experience you wish you never had. From allergic reactions to poor quality glue, to eye infections from dirty tools, and not forgetting badly applied lashes making you look more Marilyn Manson than Marilyn Monroe.
Permanent Eye-liner
But if like me you love having defined gorgeous eyes 24/7 which won’t take up an hour or two every 2 weeks having a permanent eye-liner procedure may be more up your street. A fine line also known as a lash enhancement can be tattooed through the base of the lashes, making the lashes look fuller and darker, it’s subtle but it looks fab. Or for something a little thicker and more noticeable you can have eye-liner. Starting as a lash enhancement this procedure may take a few more treatments to build thickness, but once complete you will have eyes that are defined and gorgeous eye-liner which won’t smudge. Permanent make-up can last years but a colour booster is advised every 1 year to 18 months to keep the colour looking fresh.
Eyelash Extensions and Permanent Eye-liner treatments complement each other perfectly, but if you want permanent eye-liner then please make sure you have the lash extensions removed by your lash technician at least a week before your treatment.
Gorgeous eyes here we come!

Top Tips For Perfect Brows
Top Tips For Perfect Brows
Having the right shape brow to suit your face is a must and it can make you look younger, if you get it right! Follow these simple rules and you will have brows to be proud of.
If you can, it’s usually best to try to get your brows shaped by a professional. They will be able to give you a great shape that you can just keep tidy between treatments.
The arch of the brow should be just outside your pupil. Fuller brows can give a youthful appearance, so don’t over pluck!
The picture below shows where your brow should start, arch and end. Start thicker and taper to a thin line towards the temple.
[image_frame style=”framed” align=”left”]http://www.amypackerpermanentmakeup.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/brows.jpg[/image_frame]
NEVER fill in your brows with black pencil; this is just too harsh for your skin. If you want them dark use a dark brown pencil or powder, even if you have black hair.
For a natural brow use a powder, this gives a softer look than pencil.
To make your brows look amazing keep the inner part of the brow soft then really define the arch and tails.
To tame crazy and unruly brow hairs use a brow gel. If the hairs are really long then when you have them shaped professionally see if they can trim them for you. Don’t try this yourself; you don’t want to mess them up!
And finally…
If you’re fed up of drawing your brows in everyday then there is another option.
Permanent Makeup
Can save you a lot of time and your brows will look perfect every day. And if you have been a bit pluck happy over the years, don’t worry! With three different options to choose from you can go for a powdered look, a natural hair stroke effect look or a mix of both to give you amazing brows! Your friends will be jealous of how fab they look. All you need to do is keep them tidy with tweezers, wax or threading! There won’t be any over plucking worries ever again!
