WHY CHOOSE SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP?
Semi-permanent makeup offers a blend of beauty and practicality, making it a popular choice for those seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance enhancement. Here’s why many people choose this treatment:
- EFFORTLESS BEAUTY, EVERY DAY
Semi-permanent makeup allows you to wake up with perfectly shaped brows, defined eyes, and tinted lips—no daily application required. It’s ideal for those with busy lifestyles or anyone wanting to save time on their beauty routine while still looking polished. - NATURAL-LOOKING ENHANCEMENTS
The goal of semi-permanent makeup isn’t to dramatically change your appearance—it’s to enhance what you already have. Whether it’s subtle brow definition or a soft lip blush, the results are designed to complement your natural features and give you a refreshed, refined look. - CUSTOMISED TO YOUR FEATURES
Every face is unique, and so is every treatment. Our skilled technicians work with you to choose shapes, shades, and styles that suit your individual features and preferences. The result is a personalised look that enhances your confidence and complements your natural beauty. - LONG-LASTING RESULTS
Unlike traditional makeup that fades throughout the day, semi-permanent makeup stays put. Results can last 1–3 years, depending on the area treated and your skin type. It’s a long-term solution that reduces the need for constant touch-ups and product use. - MINIMAL DOWNTIME
The treatment process is quick and relatively comfortable, with little downtime. Most clients can return to their daily routines shortly after the session, and any initial redness or slight swelling typically resolves within a few days.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE TREATMENT
Getting semi-permanent makeup is a simple, well-structured process designed to keep you comfortable and informed every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
- CONSULTATION
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation. Your technician will discuss your goals, assess your facial features, and recommend the most flattering shapes and shades for your brows, eyes, or lips. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions and review the treatment plan before proceeding. - DESIGN & PRE-DRAW
Before any pigment is applied, your technician will carefully map out the treatment area using cosmetic pencil to create a preview of the final look. This ensures symmetry, precision, and your full approval before moving forward. - PIGMENT APPLICATION
Using a specialised device or hand tool, pigment is deposited into the upper layers of your skin. A numbing cream is used beforehand to minimise discomfort. The process typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the area being treated. - IMMEDIATE RESULTS
Right after the procedure, the colour will appear more intense than the final result. This is normal and will soften as your skin heals. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a day or two. - AFTERCARE
Your technician will provide full aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. You’ll need to avoid makeup, direct sunlight, and certain skincare products for a few days. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled 4–6 weeks later for touch-ups if needed.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Hear from satisfied clients who have experienced the transformative services at Cosmetic Cave, where expert care and personalised treatments leave lasting impressions.
Got my lips done by Cholie a few times now absolutely love them, salon is beaut as well wouldn’t go anywhere else xx
I’ve been to Cosmetic Cave twice now. My first visit was for BIAB nails with extensions by Emily and this was my first experience getting BIAB after wanting to try it for a while and I loved them! I felt so welcome from the second I walked into the salon and we spoke as if we’d known eachother for years from the get-go which is so comforting when receiving a service.
My second visit was for lip filler dissolver with Cholie and the confidence this girl has given me back is completely unmatched. She talked me through everything and did everything she could to restore my lips and make me feel at ease after I got filler done elsewhere which I was unhappy with. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with any treatments to my face now.
The services here are completely unmatched, I couldn’t recommend these girls more and I can’t wait to come back🥰

Cholie is friendly and welcoming made me feel at complete ease. I had Botox and I am extremely happy with the results. Thank you and I will see you again in the near future xx
booked in at Cosmetic Cave in St Ives for my first BroTox treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was worried it might look obvious, but Cholie explained everything clearly and made sure the results were natural — just a fresher, more rested version of me.
The whole process was quick, comfortable, and professional. You can tell she really knows her stuff when it comes to anti-wrinkle injections for men. My friends keep saying I look well, but no one can tell exactly why — which is exactly what I wanted.
If you’re a guy thinking about trying Botox in St Ives, I can’t recommend Cosmetic Cave enough.
