Micro pigmentation (known more commonly as cosmetic tattooing) is a state-of-the-art method of creating realistic, natural, and permanent enhancements for eyebrows, eyeliner, lips. Raquel Mack, Elysiancolor's founder and permanent and paramedical makeup artist, first creates the perfect shape and dimensions to suit each client's personal preferences and features.
The Micro pigmentation machine, needles, and pigment are made not only to create a more permanent natural effect but are also quite different from traditional tattooing. With my expertise in permanent makeup I can select the size of needle and exact depth of penetration. This allows a much higher degree of precision than standard cosmetic tattooing and a consistent distribution of pigment.

Services
I specialize in applying cosmetic derma-pigmentation, also known as Permanent Make-Up (PMU). I am Alabama state licensed tattoo artist, CPCP by the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals. In order to keep my knowledge up to date with the latest trends in PMU, I frequently visit conferences as well as national and international workshops.
Brow hyperrealism is a form of cosmetic tattooing that imitates the look of brow hair. This is not traditional microblading but a technique that deposits the pigment without the use of a microblade instead, a very fine nano acupunture needle implants the pigment. I have developed my own technique, combining brow hair strokes and shading that allows me to provide the most realistic results.
Hyperrealism brows are created by imitating the look of hair strokes, sometimes called digital microblading, brow hairstroke eyebrows are done by implanting the pigment into the skin with a one point acupuncture needle, a digital device by creating each brow stroke. Powder brows is a more filled in look.
Permanent eyeliner is a great way to enhance the eyes. Permanent eyeliner can be done very thin at the lash line, smokey for a more noticeable look, winged. The styles can vary depending on the look you are looking for. If you have been using lashes (extensions or strip) for long periods of time (years) you are not a candidate, the continued use of lash adhesives penetrate on the skin and can cause a change on the eyelid tissue.
Rosacea (chronic acne-like skin indicated by redness)- skin bleeds easy and will not retain color well. Severely oily skin on eyebrows- Microblading hair strokes will appear more blended, solid, or not retain at all, we offer other brow pigmentation techniques that are better for this skin type. Large pores on your forehead & in the eyebrow area- color will blur/blend in large pores resulting in a powdered look.

Raquel is absolutely AMAZING !! She is such a beautiful person inside and out !! I’ve always wanted (and needed) brows and she created them so effortlessly for me !! I also received lip blushing and since having procedure — never realized how pale my lips were prior !! I am beyond thankful that I was able to schedule with Raquel and will refer everyone to her !! We are so blessed to have her in our area !!

Raquel was extremely professional and informative about the entire process. The place was exquisitely clean and the service I received was top-notch! She eased all my fears and answered all of my questions which made the experience very comfortable. If you’re even just considering powder brow vs. microblading, I would suggest you schedule a consultation with Raquel and get informed!

I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the services I received. Raquel is an amazing artist. Her work speaks for itself. There was no rush in any way during my appointments. We thoroughly discussed every aspect of my expectations and she exceeded each one. She measured and measured again demonstrating a high level of standards and attention to detail. She managed very well at keeping my level of discomfort to a minimum. I was given everything I needed for aftercare. You can tell Raquel’s work is something she is very passionate about, especially the medical reconstructive tattooing.

I had gone to an expensive but much less experienced microblade tech last year. The results were terrible. They are what you see in the before picture. I paid a lot of money for horrible results. I contacted Raquel to ask if she could help and repair my brows. Not only did she fix the horrible job the previous woman did, but she brought them back to life as i had always wanted! She's a true professional and artist. She not only invests in learning more, but she just has a really great eye. She has truly honed her craft. I won't go to anyone else! I traveled from Vermont just to see her

I love my brows !! Many years ago I had my brows done by an inexperienced person and wasn't really satisfied with the result. This time I did more research and found Raquel. I was impressed with the comprehensive, easy to use website, fast response to inquiries, and I love that she puts her name on all the pictures of her work. Her salon is super clean which is so important to me !! Professional, experienced, responsible and reliable. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Raquel. Thanks again !!

Raquel is AMAZING! I was so nervous about the entire process, thinking 'am I really going to do something like this on my face??" Well, it was one of the best decisions I've made!
You must go in knowing what to expect, it is a process. After my first appointment I thought my brows were too thick, too dark, did not match my face at all and I was so bummed. Fast forward a few days and I couldn't believe how much I loved them. After my touch up 6 weeks later, I couldn't have been happier.

I recently had my eyebrows Microbladed by Raquel and could not be more thrilled with my experience! Raquel is a true talent and artist at her craft - my eyebrows have never looked so good. She walked me through every step of the process and made me feel at ease with everything. I am very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for this service.

I don't know why I waited so long! Before the procedure, I was anxious about the pain, the recovery period and having artificial-looking eyebrows - but none of those were an issue. Raquel is fantastic; she is very knowledgeable and skilled in microblading. Her artistic background (she also paints) allows her the visual sense and steady hand to create very natural looking brows. I'd highly recommend her service. After many years of "putting on my eyebrows", it's been amazing to wake up and go. Thank you Raquel, for being a brilliant example of 'beauty from the inside

Raquel was very professional and discuss everything in details about my service as this is my very first time doing microblading eyebrow! She showed me a details of the shaping of the brow before she started the service! My brows came out perfect and nature looking. There was a little discomfort but it was pretty mild and I also went back for a touch up after 5 week. I am so glad I got this done. I totally will recommend this to everyone who wants beautiful brows and I no longer have to pencil in my brows ever again. Thank you Raquel
