Semi-Permanent Makeup Reading
Your brows, but better.
Your lips, but better.
Microblading, ombré brows, combo brows, lip blush and ombré lips, done to look like your own skin and colour, not a filter. Fresh-faced. Still glamorous.
Our Philosophy
Skin science first. Artistry second. We didn't come to semi-permanent makeup from a make-up background. We came from clinical skin training, which is exactly why the brows and lips we create heal soft and natural, mapped to your own face, not copied from an inspo photo.

The Face Behind SM Skin
Clinical standards. A softer way of delivering them.
SM Skin started with a gap I kept running into as a therapist. I've been in this industry since 2019, and skin has always been the thing I care about most, but early on, I noticed something the industry doesn't like to admit: being qualified to perform a treatment and knowing how to actually transform someone's skin are two very different things.
So I spent a year on an advanced skin science course, going deeper into the science behind problematic skin and anti-ageing than most beauty-side training ever covers. That same skin-science approach is why I moved into semi-permanent makeup, with brows and lips mapped and healed the way skin actually behaves, not just how a stencil looks on the day.

Most clients see best results after a course of 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart, with occasional top-ups for maintenance. Your exact plan depends on the area treated, hair type and growth cycle, which we discuss at your consultation.
SPMU is a popular choice for brows, lips and eyeliner and is suitable for most clients. A patch test and consultation are carried out beforehand to ensure the pigments and technique suit your features and skin. Results are natural and tailored to your face shape.
