"Now, remember - this is not what it will look like when your permanent makeup is fully healed. In two months, It'll lighten and soften and it will look more natural," says Deanna to ALL of her clients after their permanent makeup has been completed.

The reason she tells her clients this is because there is a dramatic difference from when the permanent makeup is first completed to when it is fully healed - roughly two months later.

The accompanying photos of a client show what you can expect when having a permanent makeup procedure done by Deanna Lien - along with the timeframe.

Immediately after the procedure, it's possible that your permanent makeup may be a little too dark and somewhat harsh. (You may also be slightly swollen and slightly red). However, the permanent makeup has to be applied roughly 20% darker initially, as it will begin to fade approximately 1 - 2 weeks after the procedure is completed, and by the 2-month mark, your permanent makeup should have faded roughly 20%.

Please keep this in mind when you are thinking about having your procedure done!
