JESSICA LOREY
Makeup & PMU Artist
I am a professional Make-Up Artist based in Swansea, South Wales. I trained with some of the best in the industry at Delamar Academy in Ealing Studios, London and graduated in 2008 gaining a HE in 'Professional Make-Up Design', so have many years experience. My work consists of all types of Make-Up, from Bridal, Occasion & Fashion Make-Up to Special FX, Halloween Make-Up & Face Painting. As well as being a professionally trained artist, I have recently turned my hand to more permanent styles of make-up, gaining qualifications in Microblading in 2019 and AirbrushFX Brows in 2020. Semi-Permanent Makeup is now my main source of work and something that I have become extremely passionate about. I am a fully licensed and insured practitioner within the Swansea area providing you with a quality experience that is personalised to you.
PERMANENT
MAKEUP
I provide two different styles of permanent makeup: Microblading & Powder Ombre Brows.
Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that gives definition and structure to the brow area using hairlike strokes. This hair stroke technique implants pigment into the skin using a handheld tool called a microblade.
Microblading is more suited to healthy, normal to mildly oily skin types and provides a realistic, natural look.
Powder-Ombre eyebrows are a cosmetic procedure that gives definition and structure to the brow area using a tattoo machine. Pigment is implanted into the skin by creating lots of tiny dots in the desired area and creates a more softly shaded result, as if you've penciled in your brows.
Powder-Ombre eyebrows are suited to all skin types and can be built up to any given result, depending on personal preference.
SALINE
REMOVAL
I provide Saline Removal for permanent makeup using Botched Ink Saline.
If you have eyebrow pigment you would like to lighten or remove completely your first step should be saline. The saline solution is implanted into the skin using a tattoo machine and, due to the numbing time beforehand, is almost painless, apart from a small sting at the end which proves the solution is working.
Saline can be used to remove old discoloured pigment, yellow/red eyebrows leftover from laser removal and also in emergency situations up to 48 hours after a fresh Microblading or permanent eyebrows procedure.
If full removal is what you require, you will need to start with 3-4 saline removal sessions to lift out the majority of the pigment colour, then 1-2 laser removal sessions to get rid of any leftover pigment that may still be lingering.
OCCASION
MAKEUP
I have been in the makeup industry for over 18 years working throughout the country and further afield creating looks for weddings, films, photoshoots, advertisements & brands. I provide makeup for any occasion and event.
I have spent over a decade being part of many wedding mornings and getting brides ready for their big day. Recently, since having my daughter, I have stepped away from full bridal wedding services, but now work from my home studio creating looks for weddings, proms, special events and occasions.
I also specialise in Special FX and Halloween Makeup and spent a few years of my career providing Casualty Simulation Make-Up for military training days.
Whatever look you are wanting to achieve, from beauty and editorial to cosplay and casualty effects - I cover every basis.
