Microblading, eyelash enhancement & freckles: we tested semi-permanent make-up for you
With the summer vacations approaching, which very often rhymes with the desire to wear less make-up, I started looking for a salon in Paris that offered treatments for my eyelashes and eyebrows. I came across Peach Beautya salon entirely dedicated to eye beauty and semi-permanent make-up.
Peach Beauty, the temple of perm make-up
Taos (the founder behind this temple to eye beauty) makes it a point of honor to respect the natural beauty of the people who pass through her fairy fingers. Her credo: to sublimate without transforming. A subtly redesigned lookA look that's redesigned in a subtle way, without looking too sophisticated - which has often made me hesitate to open the doors of this kind of salon.
From restructuring to microblading and the famous "brow lift brow lift "The experts who take care of you at Peach Beauty are all trained by Taos herself. And it's Taos, who's passionate about the beauty of the eyes and a true master in the field (she spent 8 years cultivating her knowledge in the leading eye salons before offering her unique protocols), who finally inspired me to take the plunge!
My experience with permanent make-up
After filling in a checklist to make sure there are no contraindications to the various services, we agree on the 3 treatments I'm going to try:
- A natural natural fluffy brows "This is the combination of microblading (a technique developed in Asia that uses pigments to draw out hairs), performed with particularly fine needles for an almost imperceptible result, and a brow lift for a raised eyebrow and an airy, light finish.
- Eyelash enhancement: for a natural curl that lasts for 6 to 8 weeks (say goodbye to mascara during this period if you wish!).
- Fake freckles: waiting for those that will come out naturally after a little sun.
Permanent eyebrow make-up
For my eyebrows, Taos has understood, I want a light finishFirst, she restructures my eyebrows with tweezers, then begins the brow lift, an eyebrow enhancement technique that aims to raise the eyebrows by modifying the upward movement of the hairs. This technique is completely painless, which makes me very happy.
Taos then redraws my eyebrows. After validating the line together, she begins the microblading. As I'm not very used to stimulation in this area, I can't hide the fact that this is the most painful part of the service (well, painful but quite bearable, especially when you see the results!).
A few dozen minutes later, my new eyebrows are there: full but super-naturalwith a beautiful line and symmetry that I love.
The little extra? The organic pigments used by Taos have been sourced to be as ethical as possible, and above all not to turn orange after a few months (which is unfortunately often the case when mineral pigments oxidize).
Lash enhancement
Because what could be better than not wearing eye make-up while on vacation? I'm a big fan of swimming and clean mascara (including Limitless Lash Ilia), but it's true that I often skip this step in my beauty routine during the summer, so as not to get my head out of the water with black under my eyes. So the aim is to curl my natural lashes, with no maintenance required..
It's always possible to add mascara if you want a stronger make-up look, for an evening out for example, but personally, I'm a fan of the natural look.
The little extra? The treatment is designed so that the products used do not touch the eyelid, so it is safe for all those who are afraid of chemicals coming into contact with the eyes ;)
Freckles
As a great lover of freckled faces, I'm also tempted by this service. I love it when they reappear in summer!
Once again, it's a pigment deposited on the surface of the skin, which will disappear naturally over time (unlike a tattoo). Taos applies these pretty freckles to my nose and cheekbones. And if the result is already visible when I leave the salon, they will intensify a few days later, to my great delight!
