Unofficial: Skins

SKINS did these way before we realised why we were doing them.

Life is all about evolving, would you agree?
We move, we do, we live, we make mistakes, we learn. Repeat.
Semi permanent make up is no different.

NanoBlading comes as a new approach of semi permanent make up. A new gaze on the whole industry.

It’s a bladed technique, yes! It’s fine, delicate and translucent strokes made to imitate actual hairs.

We’ve been gate keeping this photo for years, so weird. Felt that it was something we weren’t ready to post. But don’t panic, if these don’t feel right to you, we’ll find something that does.

That’s the beauty of SKINS. We fit to you. We work with you, your natural, your look, your brows.
Nothing replicated.

SKINS love to work slowly and especially so when doing Lip Blush. There are even cases where it looks like nothing has even been done once healed (first session ok!). And there’s a reason for that.

There’s two ways to build up borders, and we prefere the slowly-slowly approach. Brick by brick. We are not in any hurry and we want your borders to be suuuuuper soft and natural, not hard and over defined.

This client has very full (all natural!) lips that were very pale and cool in tone, lacked definition and conformity, and a sizeable scar on the top lip.
We wanted something so subtle and lovely to suit her day to day routine and we are so chuffed with the healed results.

She completely trusted our process which essentially benefits the client so they can have the most natural and soft result possible, whilst also being allowed the time to adjust to the new colour and definition.

Lip neutralization is fast becoming a go to for those who rely on lipsticks/tints every day.

As you can see, after one session, we have considerably lifted the tone of these lips creating a more even finish.

Creating contrast is the name of the make up game and with semi permanent make up we can achieve these results with the need to reapply every 2-4 years. NOT EVERY DAY! 🥰

Going slow is one of SKINS’ business values. We attract a lot of very anxious clients, people who wouldn’t normally do any beauty treatments and for those who present the need, our first thought is to GO SLOW.

Over plucking was a condition of the 90’s/00’s and the impacts are forever. Hairs at this point just do not grow back.
This client had plucked her brows into a sort of circular shape, very far apart and clearly very thin. Added to the fact that her brow hairs are very fine and fair.

What we do is this. We work closely with the existing shape, adding few strokes, and letting them heal. This gives a) the client time to adjust to more visibility around her brow bone and b) a chance for us to see how the strokes will heal and sit in the skin.

As you can see from the healed pic, the strokes healed very lightly, and subtly, building up a little bit of space but definitely with the need for more.

So that’s what we did! We did more! Last pic shows brows after top up.

How do we decide where to place the new eyebrow shape on the face?

The SKINS method believes that the anatomy of each client gives all the signs we need to be able to create something completely tailored and on an individualised basis.

This client had full, thick and luscious brows! Absolutely stunning. But he felt that they lacked definition. But where, you think? So much hair.

As you can see, he didn’t have much room to play with on the bottom area of his brows, but the upper part; lots! We can see that there was a lack of hair growing in the upper area and arch, which would give him more fullness and definition but also a lifting sensation in his brows! We also added a few strategically placed strokes in the beginning areas to add more depth but without being too polished.

This case shows how you can literally just enhance and achieve something so impactful without over doing it.

We do not want anyone to notice our work, we are happy to go uncelebrated. We want you to shine and feel comfortable! We want you to feel just YOU. You is beautiful, you is more than enough 🥰

Lip Blushing for us is a huge game changer. If you get it right, it’s just bliss.

This client has beautiful lips, but you simply couldn’t see them for so many glands (Fordyce Spots) showing under her lip tissue.

Fordyce spots are very common, glands that sit under the lip tissue and appear as little white dots, but not in this quantity. However they are coverable with semi permanent make up and the result is marvellous! This client no longer needs to rely on reapplying lip stains all day long.

Lip blushing takes about 2.5 hours start to finish including consultation, pre draw and numbing. SKINS has mastered an incredibly superficial approach which essentially dusts the surface layer of the lip tissue allowing for a translucent finish and well wearing result over time.

Send us some pics of your lips and we’ll go forward with explaining our approach a little more and creating a potential plan!
