-
Cosmetic tattoo is designed to fade gradually over time rather than remain permanent. How long your results last will vary depending on factors such as your skin type, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine, medications and the treatment performed.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss what you can realistically expect based on your individual skin and treatment goals.

Faux Freckles
-
Faux freckles are designed to soften and fade naturally over time. How long they last varies from person to person and depends on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine, medications and the depth and density of the design. As the freckles gradually fade, many clients choose to have them refreshed to maintain their desired look. During your consultation, we’ll discuss what you can realistically expect based on your skin and the style of freckles you’ve chosen.
-
Our goal is always to create natural, subtle faux freckles for a sun-kissed look.
-
Yes absolutely, we love to act as the tools you need to realise your freckles vision. We are happy to work with you and any references and preferences you gather in order to achieve your desired look.
That being said we are also happy to take creative liberties if you would prefer a set of freckles designed entirely by us.
-
Constellation Freckles and Micro Hearts are two of our signature faux freckle designs, created for clients looking for something a little more personal.
Constellation Freckles transform meaningful celestial patterns—such as zodiac signs or favourite constellations—into delicate, wearable art using individually placed faux freckles. Micro Hearts feature a handful of tiny heart-shaped freckles subtly hidden amongst a natural-looking freckle design, creating a playful detail that’s designed to be discovered rather than immediately noticed.
Like all of our faux freckle treatments, every design is completely bespoke. We’ll work with you to create a pattern that complements your features while reflecting your individual style.
-
Faux freckles go through the same healing phases as other cosmetic tattooing, first looking dark and intense, before scabbing and peeling to a light tone, and regaining colour between peeling and around the 4 - 6 week mark.
We expect our faux freckles to settle to a natural tone, which will then fade out over time.
The healing phases of freckle tattoo can be found on our aftercare advice page.
-
You must wait until the tattoos have scabbed and peeled completely before applying any product on or around them, including makeup, moisturisers, face wash and other facial products. Please only apply the aftercare provided and use the disposables in your aftercare kit to clean on and around your freckles.
Eyelash Extensions
-
Every full set at Allure Aesthetics Studio is customised to suit your natural lashes, eye shape and desired look. Whether you prefer the subtle elegance of Classic Lashes, the textured finish of Hybrid Lashes, the fullness of Volume or Mega Volume, or the distinctive styling of Anime Lashes, we’ll guide you towards the option that best complements your features and lifestyle.
-
Each style creates a different finish. Classic Lashes provide soft, natural definition using one extension per natural lash. Hybrid Lashes combine Classic and Volume techniques for added texture. Volume Lashes create a fuller, fluffier appearance using lightweight handmade fans, while Mega Volume offers our fullest, most dramatic look. Anime Lashes feature carefully designed spikes and texture to create a bold, eye-catching style inspired by modern Japanese beauty trends.
Within each of these styles there is also a lot of variation, and our incredible artists will often hand make sets that are tomised to your preferences.
During your appointment, we’ll help you choose the style that’s right for you.
-
Lash extensions naturally shed as your own lashes complete their growth cycle. How long they last varies from person to person and depends on factors such as your natural lash cycle, lifestyle, skincare products and how well your aftercare routine is followed.
Regular infill appointments help keep your lashes looking full and beautifully maintained.
-
Most clients book infill appointments every 2–3 weeks to maintain the fullness and shape of their lash extensions. The ideal timing will depend on your natural lash cycle, the style you wear and how well your extensions are retained. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule that’s best suited to you.
-
Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining healthy natural lashes and maximising retention.
We provide you with a full aftercare kit to ensure you have everything you need to maintain your lashes, including a lash wash, wash brush, eye cleansing bottle and a high quality spoolie.
Clean your lash extensions regularly using the lash-safe cleanser provided, avoid rubbing or pulling on them, brush them gently with a spoolie and avoid oil-based products around the eyes. We’ll provide personalised aftercare advice at your first appointment, alongside .your aftercare kit.
-
Mascara is generally unnecessary with lash extensions, as they’re designed to provide definition on their own. If you choose to wear mascara, only use products that are specifically suitable for lash extensions and avoid waterproof formulas, as they can be difficult to remove and may affect retention.
-
When professionally applied and properly maintained, lash extensions should not damage healthy natural lashes.
Every set at Allure Aesthetics Studio is carefully designed to suit the strength and condition of your natural lashes, with extension length, thickness and weight individually selected to maintain lash health.
You are also provided with a complimentary aftercare kit to ensure you have everything you need to care for your lash extensions.
Pulling on, or attempting to remove the extensions yourself will cause significant damage to your natural lashes.
-
Yes. Once your lash extensions have fully cured, you can continue to enjoy your normal activities, including swimming, showering and exercising. Following the recommended aftercare advice and keeping your lashes clean will help maintain the best possible retention.
-
To help maximise the longevity of your lash extensions, it’s important to avoid products that can weaken the adhesive or leave residue on your lashes. Oil-based cleansers, makeup removers, eye creams, facial oils and oil-based serums around the eye area are the most common causes of reduced retention. Waterproof mascara and waterproof eyeliners can also be difficult to remove and often require rubbing or oil-based removers, which may affect your extensions.
Hair products such as dry shampoo, hairspray, styling sprays and aerosol products can leave a fine residue on your lashes if used too close to the face. Whenever possible, apply these products before your lash appointment or shield your eyes while using them.
Heavy or waterproof eye makeup, creamy eyeshadows and glitter products may also reduce retention if they build up around the lash line or require excessive cleansing to remove. If you wear makeup, choose lash extension-safe products and cleanse your lashes daily with a professional lash cleanser to remove makeup, oils and debris.
If you’re ever unsure whether a product is suitable, we’re always happy to recommend lash extension-friendly alternatives to help keep your lashes looking their best.
-
Appointment times vary depending on the style you choose, your natural lashes and the look you’re hoping to achieve. During your booking, we’ll allocate enough time to create a bespoke set without rushing the application, ensuring beautiful, balanced results. Most sets take between an hour and a half and two hours.
-
Please arrive with clean lashes free from mascara, makeup, sunscreen and skincare products around the eyes. If you wear contact lenses, you may wish to remove them before your appointment for additional comfort. Avoid curling your lashes beforehand and allow enough time to relax during your treatment.
-
We understand that sometimes you’ll be coming straight from work, a special event or another appointment and may not have time to remove your makeup beforehand. That’s absolutely okay—we simply ask that you let us know in advance when booking or before your appointment. This allows us to allocate enough time to carefully remove your eye makeup before we begin, ensuring your lash extensions are applied to perfectly clean lashes for the best possible retention and results.
-
We’ll assess your existing lash extensions at the beginning of your appointment. If they’re in good condition and compatible with our application techniques, we may be able to perform an infill. If not, we may recommend a professional removal before applying a new bespoke set to ensure the health of your natural lashes and the quality of your results.
-
Lash extensions should always be removed professionally using a specialised adhesive remover. Attempting to remove them yourself can damage your natural lashes. Our gentle removal process is designed to safely dissolve the adhesive while protecting the health and integrity of your natural lashes.
-
Definitely not.
We are able to create sets in a variety of colours including brown for a softer look, and vivid tones for a pop of visual interest. We can even custom order specific tones and styles if you advise us in advance. We love a fun set!
Eyebrow and Eyelash Treatments
-
A lash lift is a professional treatment that enhances your natural lashes by gently lifting and curling them from the root. The result is beautifully lifted, longer-looking lashes that open the eyes without the need for extensions. For even greater definition, many clients choose to combine their lash lift with a lash tint.
-
Generally a minimum of six to eight weeks, but this can vary.
A lash lift gradually softens as your natural lashes complete their growth cycle. How long your results last will vary depending on your natural lash cycle, lifestyle and aftercare. Once your lashes have naturally grown out, the treatment can be repeated to maintain the lifted appearance.
-
Yes. Once the recommended aftercare period has passed, you can wear mascara as normal.
Many clients find they need less mascara than before, as the lift already creates beautifully lifted and defined lashes.
You can pair your lash lift with a lash tint or dye which will further forego your need for mascara.
-
A lash lift can fail for a few reasons, it’s best we assess your lashes in person to see how we can help.
We aim to build a trusting relationship with all of our clients, meaning if you find your lash lift does not have the impact you want we; please contact us to let us know. Some lashes are tough, and we can only get to know your lashes through working on them.We are dedicated to achieving the best results we can.
Besides, there are no tougher lashes to curl than our principal artist Lilly’s, who had a long history of failed lifts and naturally stubborn, straight lashes - and we’ve managed to keep hers tamed to perfection.
-
Brow lamination is a treatment that smooths, reshapes and sets your natural brow hairs into your desired position. It creates the appearance of fuller, more defined brows while improving symmetry and making everyday styling easier. Brow lamination is often paired with a brow sculpt and tint for the most polished result.
-
Brow lamination gradually relaxes over time as your natural brow hairs complete their growth cycle. Results vary from person to person depending on factors such as hair growth, skincare routine and aftercare. Regular maintenance appointments can help keep your brows looking beautifully groomed.
-
A brow sculpt includes a professional consultation, precision waxing and detailed shaping to create brows that complement your facial features. Every brow sculpt is individually tailored to achieve the most balanced and flattering shape while maintaining a natural, polished appearance.
-
We encourage you to book ‘eyebrow maintenance’ instead of ‘eyebrow sculpt’ if you have very fine, fair or very little brow hair that needs waxing.
If you have a large amount of brow hair to remove or need a correction you your eyebrow shape please book an eyebrow sculpt instead, as we will have a larger allocation of time to perfect your brows.
-
Following your aftercare instructions will help you achieve the best possible results. For the recommended aftercare period, avoid getting your brows wet and avoid excessive heat, steam, saunas, swimming and strenuous exercise that may cause excessive sweating. Refrain from applying makeup, active skincare ingredients or oils directly to the treated area unless advised otherwise. If you’ve had a brow lamination, gently brush your brows into place each day to keep them looking neat and well-groomed. We’ll provide personalised aftercare advice based on the treatment you’ve received.
-
Many clients with sensitive skin or eyes can still enjoy lash and brow treatments; however, suitability varies from person to person. If you have a history of allergies, sensitivities or eye conditions, please let us know before your appointment. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess your suitability and, where appropriate, may recommend a patch test before treatment.
-
A patch test may be recommended depending on the treatment you’re having, your medical history and whether you’ve experienced reactions to tinting or lifting products in the past. If a patch test is required, we’ll let you know before your appointment and provide instructions on when it should be completed.
-
Absolutely. Many of our treatments are designed to complement one another and can be performed during the same appointment. Whether you’re booking a lash lift and tint, a brow sculpt and tint, or one of our signature treatment packages, we’ll tailor your appointment to help you achieve beautifully balanced, natural-looking results.
Look for our ‘simple lashes Anne brows’ and ‘complete lashes and brows’ packages to save on multiple services.
