Soft & Natural vs. Bold & Defined: PMU Styles to Consider
When it comes to Permanent Makeup (PMU), one size definitely doesn’t fit all. From barely-there brows to statement-making eyeliner, your personal style and facial features play a huge role in choosing the right look.
At The Laughing Widow PMU in the Bronx, we’re passionate about creating results that not only enhance your natural beauty—but also reflect your vibe.
So, what’s your style: soft and natural or bold and defined? Let’s break it down.
Soft & Natural: The “I Woke Up Like This” Look
Think effortless beauty—like you’ve just had the best sleep of your life. These PMU styles are perfect for clients who want to enhance their features subtly without looking overdone. Popular Soft & Natural Styles:
• Powder Brows with a light, airbrushed effect
• Lip Blushing in nude or rose tones
• Lash Enhancement Eyeliner (a super subtle line at the base of lashes)
• Freckle Tattoos for a sun-kissed glow
• Areola Restoration or Scar Camouflage in skin-toned pigments
Best For:
• Minimalists
• Natural makeup lovers
• Clients new to Permanent Makeup or Cosmetic Tattooing
• Mature skin or professionals seeking a low-maintenance look
Why We Love It:
Soft Permanent Makeup enhances without overwhelming. It’s a perfect everyday look that gives polished, healthy radiance with no need for makeup touch-ups.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Scar Camouflage?
Scar camouflage works best for individuals with:
Surgical scars (tummy tuck, facelift, C-section, mastectomy, etc.)
Burn scars
Stretch marks
Self-harm scars
Acne scars
Vitiligo (in some cases)
Scars must be fully healed (typically at least 12 months old).
The scar should not be red or inflamed—mature scars respond best to treatment.
The Benefits of Scar Camouflage
Restores Confidence: Feel comfortable in your skin again.
Custom Color Matching: Pigments are mixed to match your exact skin tone.
Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy results for years with proper care.
Non-Invasive Solution: Unlike surgery, this procedure is safe and requires minimal downtime.
For those who have struggled with the emotional impact of visible scars, this treatment is more than just cosmetic—it’s empowering.
The Scar Camouflage Process: What to Expect
1. Consultation & Color Matching
A cosmetic tattoo artist will assess your scar, discuss your goals, and custom-mix a pigment to match your natural skin tone.
2. The Procedure
Using a fine needle, the pigment is gently deposited into the scar tissue. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the best results.
3. Healing & Aftercare
Like any tattoo or permanent makeup procedure, the area will take a few weeks to heal. You may experience slight redness or scabbing, but this is temporary. Following aftercare instructions ensures optimal healing and pigment retention.
4. Enjoy Your New Skin!
Once healed, your scar will blend seamlessly with the rest of your skin, allowing you to move forward with renewed confidence.
