A Confidence-Boosting Solution for Over 50s and Beyond
One woman in her seventies recently called me and asked, “Is permanent makeup even suitable for someone like me?” Another woman told me she had been treated poorly at another clinic — like she didn’t matter, simply because of her age. These conversations broke my heart—but they also inspired me to write this blog.
If you’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond and wondering whether permanent makeup is right for you, the answer is a resounding yes. Age should never be a barrier to feeling beautiful, confident, and seen. In fact, permanent makeup can offer exceptional benefits to mature skin when performed by a skilled, empathetic professional who understands the changes that come with ageing. Mature women should not feel overlooked in the world of beauty — when in reality, they are exactly who can benefit most from permanent makeup.
At The Dermatography Clinic, I want every client — whether they’re 30 or 75 — to feel welcome, heard, and valued. Permanent makeup isn’t just for younger people or Instagram influencers. It’s a life-enhancing treatment that works beautifully for mature skin and offers real, lasting results.
Whether your eyebrows have thinned, eyeliner is impossible to apply, or lipstick bleeds into fine lines — there is a gentle, artistic solution.
How Age Affects Our Features (and How Permanent Makeup for Mature Women Helps)
As we age, our faces change in ways that can make makeup frustrating. Eyebrows fade or droop, lips tend to lose volume definition and colour and eyeliner smudges easily due to loose skin which may sag. Your morning routine may take longer, but feel less effective — and some days, applying makeup may not feel worth the trouble.
These changes are completely natural, but they can impact how we feel when we look in the mirror. Traditional makeup can become harder to apply, fade quickly, or settle into fine lines. This is where permanent makeup becomes a game-changer.
In my experience working with mature clients, I often see women trying to recreate the look they had years ago — applying makeup the same way, unsure why it no longer feels quite right. As we age, our colouring softens, skin tone changes, and facial features shift. It’s not always easy to know how to adapt. But age brings beauty, wisdom, and a new kind of confidence. My approach to permanent makeup is about enhancing your natural features in a way that feels fresh, flattering, and true to who you are now. I understand these changes and take great care in helping you feel your best at every stage.
Permanent makeup restores what age has softened — naturally and beautifully.
Using advanced techniques and pigments matched to your skin tone and hair colour, I create results that enhance your features, not mask them. The goal is always to make you look refreshed, confident, and still entirely you.

Eyebrow Tattooing for mature women: Reframe and Rejuvenate
One of the most common concerns I hear from mature clients is thinning over plucked or uneven eyebrows. Thinning or drooping eyebrows can make the face look tired or drawn. Your brows frame your entire face, and when they fade with age, it can make your features look less defined.
Through eyebrow tattooing (also known as micropigmentation), I can recreate fuller brows with gentle strokes that lift the face and frame your eyes naturally — with no need for surgery or injectables. Using precise hair-stroke techniques, I create natural-looking brows that restore balance and shape to your face. For many women, it can even give the appearance of a gentle eye lift.
“Without makeup, I now have structure to my face… I feel more youthful and it has boosted my confidence as I grow older.” — Rose, 60s (see her full story below)
This treatment is especially beneficial for women with fair, grey, or disappearing brows. I use fine hair strokes and, natural pigments (not ink), and shape the brow to suit your facial structure, skin tone, and overall style.
A Soft Lift for Tired Eyes: Permanent Eyeliner for mature women
Sagging eyelids and fading lashes can make eyes look smaller or more tired. Applying eyeliner with shaky hands or sensitive eyes becomes tricky—and often frustrating. As skin loses elasticity, eyeliner can become difficult to apply, often smudging or transferring. My permanent eyeliner treatment defines the eyes in a soft, flattering way that never looks harsh. Permanent eyeliner is a simple, elegant solution. It subtly defines your lash line to make your eyes look more awake, without looking “done up.” It helps the eyes appear more open and bright, and once healed, it never runs or needs reapplying — even if your lids are a little droopy or hooded.
The result? Eyes that sparkle and feel lifted, with no smudging, irritation, or daily hassle.
Lip Blush permanent makeup for mature women: Restoring Natural Lip Colour Fullness and Shape
With age, lips often lose definition and colour. Lipstick may bleed into lines, and your natural border can fade. Lip blush tattooing is a beautiful solution to restore colour, enhance shape, and fullness. You can still wear lipstick — or not! You’ll have a healthy flush of colour that stays put all day.

Testimonial
“It took me two years to build up the courage to have this done. I am in my sixties, pale skinned with grey blond hair and brows almost disappeared with age. I have a natural style and was scared this treatment would look too false. It was two years I could have looked wonderful !
Renée was gentle and patient, and gave me all the time I needed to go forward. The first session was focussed on getting the shape right with the natural wonkiness of my face, and the nano needle felt like a tickle across my skin. Still apprehensive, the first week afterwards took a tearful phone call to Renée to trust the pigment really would lighten as they healed… they did beautifully within two weeks.
I had three sessions in total and the colour and shape look natural and elegant, and more balanced in shape than my original brows. Even close up, my girlfriends struggle to see they are not my own. It makes life so easy, without make-up I now have structure to my face and can also powder them in for a more dramatic effect. I feel more youthful and it has boosted my confidence as I grow older.
I totally trust Renée as a skilled technician and artist, plus she is a lovely rare person who truly cares about her clients’ happiness. You can ask Renée to see my transformation photos in her book.”
