With accredited Australian infection control certification and extensive training, FACES esthetics prioritises client safety, comfort, and long-term pigment retention.

Whether you are looking to redefine sparse brows, restore lip definition, or save time on daily makeup application, the clinic offers tailored consultations and comprehensive aftercare packs to ensure smooth healing and beautifully healed, lasting results.

Effortless Everyday Definition: Permanent Makeup at FACES esthetics

Wake up ready every morning with bespoke cosmetic tattooing tailored to your individual features. Situated along Cuba Street in Palmerston North Central, FACES esthetics is a dedicated beauty studio offering refined permanent makeup treatments, including microblading, ombre powder brows, lash line enhancement, and lip blush. Built around precision, high hygiene standards, and natural enhancement, the studio offers a calm, professional retreat for clients looking to save time on daily routines or restore definition to sparse brows and fading lip lines.

Expert Technique Backed by International Training

The studio is led by Jeanette, a permanent makeup artist and micro-pigmentation specialist bringing over 15 years of industry experience. Holding a Masters Diploma from the International Academy of Health & Skin Care in Cape Town, South Africa, and certified through THINK Aesthetics in Australia, Jeanette combines technical mastery with an eye for subtle balance. Every treatment uses premium equipment, needles, and hypoallergenic mineral pigments from global industry pioneer Nouveau Contour, backed by certification in Australian infection control standards.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template, Jeanette takes time before every procedure to map, measure, and design shapes specifically suited to your facial anatomy. Clients consistently note the gentle approach, relaxed vibe, and meticulous attention given to getting proportions exact before pigment is applied.

Signature Treatments for Brows, Lips, and Eyes

FACES esthetics covers the full spectrum of permanent cosmetic procedures, whether you prefer ultra-subtle detailing or structured makeup finishes. Brows can be crafted using hair-like microblading strokes, soft ombre powder shading, or a combination of both for multidimensional depth. For those with previous work requiring adjustment, brow lightening sessions are available to lift stubborn pigment.

Lip blush treatments gently introduce wash-like colour across the lips, evening out natural asymmetry, defining borders, and imparting a fresh, healthy tint that eliminates the need for daily lipstick. In addition, top and bottom permanent eyeliner applications offer subtle lash enhancement that withstands workouts, swimming, and busy workdays.

Clear Preparation and Comprehensive Aftercare

A critical part of the client journey at FACES esthetics is honest education and structured care. Clients receive clear pre-procedure guidelines—such as avoiding waxing and tinting before brow appointments, discontinuing lash serums before eyeliner, and gently prepping lips with hydration—to ensure skin is primed for pigment acceptance.

Following every procedure, clients leave with a comprehensive aftercare kit containing disposables, daily healing aftercare cream, and clear instructions detailing what to expect through each healing stage. A dedicated six-week perfection visit ensures healed results are carefully evaluated and colour is refreshed for longevity.
