A Focus on Natural Results

Subtle, tailored enhancements that stand the test of time

At Claire Portman PMU, the focus is always on creating results that look and feel natural. Trends come and go, but well-designed brows should complement your features for years to come.

The goal is simple - to deliver refined, confidence-boosting results in a calm and professional environment where you feel completely at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

How natural will my results look?

All treatments are designed to enhance your natural features, not overpower them. Claire specialises in soft, subtle results that look polished and effortless rather than obvious or heavy.

Does permanent makeup look too bold at first?

Immediately after treatment, the colour can appear slightly stronger. As the skin heals, this softens to a more natural finish, typically within 7–14 days.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Results typically last between 12–24 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. A colour boost can help maintain a fresh look over time.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable. A topical numbing cream is used to minimise any discomfort throughout the procedure.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

A consultation is recommended before your treatment. This allows Claire to assess your features, understand your goals and guide you towards the most suitable option.

What is the downtime after treatment?

There is minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity initially, with light healing over the following days depending on the treatment.

Are your treatments suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes - treatments can be tailored to suit different skin types and concerns. During your consultation, any sensitivities or conditions will be discussed to ensure the best approach.
