What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup — also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing — is the art of gently implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin using fine needles, to subtly enhance your natural features.
The pigments are made from the same minerals found in premium makeup brands, blended with a gentle carrier, usually glycerine or water. Unlike traditional tattoo ink, these pigments are specially formulated for the delicate facial area and are designed to soften and fade gracefully over time, rather than staying forever.
The result is a soft, natural enhancement to your brows, eyes, or lips that looks like a beautifully made-up version of you — every hour of every day.
Why Do Women Love Permanent Makeup?
Imagine waking up already looking fresh, polished, and put-together — no smudging, no reapplying, no bad makeup days. That is the freedom permanent makeup gives you.
It saves time every single morning, no more struggling to get both brows even or perfecting that eyeliner. It stays flawless through swimming, the gym, holidays, tears of joy at a wedding, and everything life throws at you. It is a wonderful solution for those with allergies or sensitivities to conventional makeup, for anyone whose eyesight makes application tricky, and for those who have lost brow hair through age, illness, or over-plucking.
Most of all, it gives you confidence. You will notice the difference straight away, and so will everyone else.
Is Permanent Makeup Safe?
Yes. When carried out by a fully trained, qualified, and insured professional in a clean, regulated clinic, permanent makeup is a safe and well-established cosmetic treatment.
Every treatment at my Banbury clinic begins with a consultation and a patch test to check for any sensitivities. I follow strict hygiene and safety standards, using sterile, single-use needles and premium, skin-safe pigments. You must be over 18 to have any permanent makeup treatment.
There Is No One-Size-Fits-All
This is the most important thing to understand before choosing permanent makeup.
Every client’s skin is different. Skin type, age, undertone, and lifestyle all change how pigment settles and ages once implanted. There are several different techniques in this industry, and what looks beautiful on one person can age poorly on another. There is simply no single solution that suits everyone.
This is why I never work from a fixed menu. Instead, every treatment begins with a thorough consultation where I assess your individual skin and features, and recommend the approach that will look beautiful on you — not just on the day, but for years to come.

Why Choose Lettie for Permanent Makeup in Banbury?
With seven years of experience working across all skin types and ages, my philosophy is simple — natural, long-lasting results that still look beautiful as they age.
Bold, dark, heavily defined work is now outdated. The modern approach, and the one I love and specialise in, is clean, soft, natural enhancement that works with your features rather than overpowering them. Sometimes less truly is more.
I use only premium, carefully formulated pigments that fade cleanly and beautifully over time — they do not turn grey, green, orange or purple as cheaper pigments and outdated techniques often do. They simply soften gradually until you are ready for a colour refresh.

Based in the heart of Banbury, I welcome clients from across Oxfordshire and beyond — including Bicester, Brackley, Chipping Norton, Daventry, Deddington, Kidlington and the surrounding villages. Wherever you’re travelling from, your journey to beautiful, natural enhancements starts here.
