Katherine MacDonald Beauty

2025 was a year of growth, grace, and grounding.

Professionally, I continued to pour my heart into my craft refining my artistry, investing in education, and serving my clients with intention and care. I’m deeply grateful for every bride, client, vendor, and collaborator who trusted me this year. Your confidence in me is never taken lightly.

Personally, 2025 brought moments of immense joy and deep emotion. Family was at the center of everything, celebrating milestones, welcoming new beginnings, and holding space for loss and healing. Through it all, I was reminded how important it is to slow down, be present, and lead with love.

As I step into a new year, I do so with gratitude, humility, and excitement for what’s ahead. Thank you to everyone who was part of my 2025. You made it truly meaningful. 🤍 (photo courtesy of Jodie Mazzola Perry)

What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent Makeup (PMU) has been around for a long time, and is constantly developing in the way of new techniques and the products being used.

You'll often hear PMU referred to as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation. The process involves inserting ink (or pigment) underneath the skin and the techniques most often are used replicate brows, hair, eyeliner, and lipstick. You may also hear about Paramedical Permanent Makeup which uses tattooing to disguise skin discolorations such as scars or vitiligo, or restore or enhance the ar**la (stay tuned for a future post on Ar**la Repigmentation!)

Reasons why someone may want permanent makeup:
➡️their brows are looking sparse or they have no hair at all
➡️to even out the tones/color of their lips
➡️they don't want to wear makeup everyday, or they want to save time when they do put on makeup
➡️give their lashes/eyes a little boost
➡️breast reconstruction surgery has left them with little to no ar**la

PMU Services I offer:
💜Brows (Microblading, Ombre, Combo)
💜Ombre Lips
💜Classic Eyeliner
💜Lashline Enhancement (Top, Bottom, or both)

I'm excited to offer permanent makeup to my clients in Medway, MA @ The Glow Factory. Check out our 200+ Google reviews & 150+ Vagaro reviews from actual clients who are in love with their results.
