Tired of spending precious minutes each morning perfecting your brows or reapplying lip liner? Cosmetic tattooing might just be your beauty game-changer. At Jolee Beauty Co. in Sydney, we specialise in enhancing natural beauty through advanced cosmetic tattooing techniques—giving you long-lasting results with minimal effort.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most popular options, including microblading, powder brows, combination brows, and lip blush tattooing, so you can find the perfect treatment to suit your features and lifestyle.
What Is Cosmetic Tattooing?
Cosmetic tattooing, also known as semi-permanent makeup, involves implanting pigment into the skin to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, lips, or lash lines. Unlike traditional tattoos, the pigment is deposited closer to the surface of the skin and fades gradually over time, typically lasting 1–3 years.
1. Microblading (Feather Brows)
What it is: A manual technique where ultra-fine hair-like strokes are etched into the skin to mimic the appearance of natural brow hairs.
Best for:
Clients with sparse or patchy brows
Those seeking a natural, hair-stroke look
Normal to dry skin types
Things to consider: Microblading is not ideal for oily or sensitive skin, as strokes can blur over time. Touch-ups are usually needed every 12–18 months.
2. Powder Brows (Ombre Brows)
What it is: A soft-shaded, gradient brow effect created using a digital machine. The result is similar to a softly filled-in brow with makeup.
Best for:
All skin types, especially oily or mature skin
Clients who prefer a polished, defined look
Those wanting long-lasting results with low maintenance
Things to consider: The pigment fades in a soft, powdery way—perfect if you like the “makeup-ready” look every day.
3. Combination Brows (Hybrid Brows)
What it is: A blend of microblading and powder shading. Hair strokes are placed at the front of the brow, gradually transitioning into a shaded tail.
Best for:
Clients who want both natural hair strokes and added fullness
Anyone seeking a more dimensional, versatile brow style
Things to consider: It gives you the best of both worlds, but it may require more time during your appointment.
4. Lip Blush Tattooing
What it is: A semi-permanent tint added to your lips to enhance their natural colour, shape, and definition.
Best for:
Pale, uneven, or asymmetrical lips
Clients wanting a soft, natural tint without applying lipstick daily
Things to consider: Lip tattooing can last 2–3 years and often requires two sessions for optimal results.
Is Cosmetic Tattooing Painful?
Most clients describe the experience as mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to keep you comfortable.
How Long Does It Last?
Results typically last 1–3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain colour and shape.
