The Professional Cosmetic Tattoo Artist Serving Glen Waverley

Finding the right cosmetic tattoo artist can feel overwhelming–we’ve all seen those horror stories of unnatural-looking permanent makeup. That’s precisely why Barbara’s approach focuses on subtle improvements rather than dramatic artificial-looking transformations.

With 23 years of experience, including a decade working across northern Italy’s most prestigious beauty clinics, Barbara brings world-class knowledge to every appointment. Our cosmetic tattooing services include:

  • Natural Hair-Stroke Eyebrows: We use advanced microblading and nano-brow machine techniques to create individual strokes that mimic real hair.
  • Ombré Powder Shading Eyebrows: This technique mimics a softly pencilled-in look with various gradient shading options to avoid harsh outlines.
  • Waterproof Eyeliner: From subtle lash enhancements to shaded eyeliners and bolder winged styles that never smudge.
  • Lip Colour Enhancement: Restore youthful colour and definition with natural-looking lip tinting or lipline and blending, plus full-lip colour options available to suit your requirements.
  • Corrective Work: Expert revision of previous permanent makeup that needs colour correction, reshaping or design improvement.


Each treatment begins with a detailed consultation where we draw your new look with traditional makeup first. This preview is to check that you’re completely happy with the design before any tattooing begins.

Understanding Microblading, Nano-Brows, Ombré Powder Brows, Eyeliner Shading or Lip Blush Tinting vs Traditional Cosmetic Tattooing

Many of our clients ask: “What is the difference between newer techniques such as microblading, nano-brows, powder brows, shaded eyeliners and lip blush tinting, compared to the original, traditional tattooing techniques?” It’s an excellent question that highlights why choosing a seasoned cosmetic tattoo artist matters.

Microblading, nano-brows, powder brows, shaded eyeliners, and lip blush tinting use either a manual hand tool or digital machine with ultra-fine needle configurations combined with a more superficial application technique to create hair-like strokes or a soft, powdery effect in the skin’s upper layers. These techniques:

  • Create incredibly natural-looking eyebrow hairs or a soft, shaded look to eyebrows, eyeliners and lip blush colouring
  • Works best for filling sparse areas, reshaping and softly enhancing your brows, less defined eyeliners or subtle lip tinting application
  • Typically lasts 1-3 years
  • Requires lighter touch-ups


Traditional cosmetic tattooing uses a digital machine to implant pigment on a slightly deeper level using techniques that results in a more densely coloured and saturated effect :

  • Ideal for classic eyeliner and more intense full-lip colouring procedures
  • Can create longer lasting, bold and more defined eyebrows
  • Generally lasts 3-5 years and beyond depending on the different areas of the skin and varying retention capabilities unique to each individual
  • Offers greater longevity with fewer maintenance retouches


At Smudgeproof Inc, we’re trained in both methods and often combine techniques to achieve your perfect look. This means we can recommend the best approach for your skin type and desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cosmetic tattoo?

A cosmetic tattoo is a type of technique that is performed using hypoallergenic pigments that are deposited into the upper dermal layer of the skin. At Smudgeproof Inc, this is done using only the highest quality single-use, sterile needles to create results that mimic subtle, beautiful makeup applications.

While exact levels of pain will depend on your individual tolerance, we apply prescription-grade topical numbing cream before and during your appointment to reduce sensation and keep you free from pain during your treatment.

While our major areas of focus are the eyes, lips and eyebrows, we can also create beauty spots, perform correction work for cosmetic tattoos you aren’t happy with from other clinics, and perform maintenance touch-ups to refresh existing makeup tattoos.
