Meet Samantha


Founder of Perfecting You, PMU Artist in Selsted, Kent

I’m Samantha, the founder and permanent makeup artist at Perfecting You. My passion is enhancing your natural beauty, ensuring your features are perfected yet timeless. I believe in subtle, long-lasting enhancements that truly complement your face.

After 15 years in social work, I shifted to permanent makeup following the birth of my third daughter, allowing me to embrace my creative side and spend more time with my girls—Sofia, Florence, and Athena. My background in music and dance has given me a sharp eye for detail, which I now use to create beautiful, symmetrical brows that suit your unique features.

Fully qualified through training with Lisa Sewell, I specialise in nano hair strokes, ombré/powder brows, and combination brows. Using brow mapping techniques, I tailor each treatment to your skin type and medical needs for the best results and retention.

How we work

Consultation

During the consultation, we'll discuss your desired look, including color and shape. I'll sketch the design with a makeup pencil and mix a suitable pigment color. The tattoo process starts only after you're fully happy with the planned appearance.

Treatment

The treatment involves inserting pigment into your skin's upper layers with fine needles, causing minimal discomfort. It takes about 2 hours, and the area will initially appear darker than the final result, which settles in 5-10 days. Aftercare instructions are provided post-treatment.

Top-up

A complimentary top-up is scheduled 4-6 weeks post-procedure to enhance color and make final adjustments. This session is key to perfecting your semi-permanent makeup.

Colour Booster

For lasting results, a color boost is recommended every 12-18 months. Returning customers enjoy a discounted rate. This session, usually a single treatment, maintains the vibrancy and precision of your makeup.

What is Permanent Makeup (PMU)?

Permanent Makeup (PMU), also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a beauty treatment where pigments are implanted into the skin to enhance features like eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner. It creates a natural, long-lasting look, reducing the need for daily makeup application​​.

How long does Permanent Makeup last?

The longevity of PMU varies by technique and skin type. For example, microblading lasts about 1-3 years, while ombre powder brows can last 2-5 years. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain the best results​.

Is Permanent Makeup safe?

Yes, when performed by trained professionals using sterile equipment, PMU is safe. We adhere to strict hygiene protocols and use high-quality pigments to ensure your safety​​.

What is the difference between Microblading and Ombre Brows?

Microblading uses a manual tool to create hair-like strokes for a natural brow look, while ombre brows use a machine to create a shaded, powdery finish. Both techniques can be customized to suit your preferences​.

How do I prepare for my PMU appointment?

Before your appointment, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and any blood-thinning medications. Also, avoid sun exposure and refrain from using skincare products with retinol for at least a week​​.

What is the healing process like for PMU?

Initial healing typically takes 1-2 weeks, during which the treated area may flake or scab. Full healing can take up to 6 weeks. It's essential to follow aftercare instructions closely to ensure the best results​.
