We are excited to have Dawna Mainard as part of the the Belle Âme team. Dawna is a consummate expert and artist in medical micropigmentation with over 16 years of experience. She has completed countless permanent makeup applications for brows, eyeliner, color refresh, lips, and areola / nipples.

Many people are intimidated at first by the idea of permanent makeup. But the term “permanent” is relative and many like the approach even more when they learn that the process is actually a form of semi permanent tattooing.

Brows

At your consultation, we will discuss options for your new brows. If you have had any kind of permanent / semi permanent work done on your brows elsewhere, we will need to see a picture before accepting your appointment request. This is because we can not correct other artist’s prior work on color or shape. Here are some of the techniques we offer for brows.

Microblading

Microblading artists use a very fine tool to paint very realistic, precise hairlike strokes. While this is a form of tattooing, microblading uses a much more precise tool than traditional tattoo guns and the pigments are not as permanent.

Microblading requires two visits. As part of the healing process, the second visit will be a touch-up process.

Microblading may not be suitable for all clients. For example, those with large pours or very oily skin may not get the same results due to “blurring” of the strokes. Those with darker skin may not have as much definition in the hair stroke.

If your microblading results don’t “take” as well as expected due to your skin type, we can change your brows to a beautiful powder filled technique instead (more on that next).

Ombre / Powder Brows

A powder brow is less invasive and less traumatic to the skin. Unlike the hand tool that is used for microblading, a tattoo machine is used to create a soft powdery brow that looks like traditional brow makeup. After mapping out and drawing a custom brow designed to suite your unique face shape, skin tone and brow hair color, the pigment is implanted into the upper layer of the skin. The powder brow is best suited for women who desire a beautiful bold brow. The Ombre brow will be darker and more defined in the tails and bottom of the brow and gradually soften along the top and from of the brow creating a very natural looking brow.

Full Lip Color and Lip Blushing

Say goodbye to lipstick. Most of us have one absolute favorite color that we always love no matter the occasion. Imagine never having to buy that color or reapply it for years. Or, imagine having just a touch of beautiful pink tint for a constantly naturally beautiful look with a lower saturation “blushing”.

Whether you need a fully saturated color that lasts for years, something subtle that naturally glows, or something in between, we can help you find the perfect lip color for you.

Permanent Eyeliner

We offer several different styles of eyeliner tailored to your unique eye shape to define and enhance your eyes and make them sparkle. Defining your eyes can brighten your eyes and create a fresh and youthful appearance because eyes are the main focus in our face.

Color Refresh

The process is considered permanent because the pigment is implanted into the skin’s dermal layer, so it cannot be washed off, though it will lighten over time, and color refreshes will give it new life.

If you have had permanent makeup done by another artist you must contact our office before we can accept you as a client.

3D Areola and Nipple Tattooing

Dawna’s 3D nipple and areola repigmentation technique is a tattoo procedure offered to clients who have undergone mastectomies due to breast cancer. This medical tattooing technique requires advanced education, training and experience. This procedure is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a cosmetic tattoo artist by helping breast cancer survivors complete their final step in healing after reconstruction. Combining Dawna’s artistic ability and understanding the use of highlights and shadows she creates the illusion of a nipple appearing to protrude.

Clients feel this procedure helps them during the last part of their recovery to look complete and feel whole again with realistic life like nipples and areolas.
