Beth Gray
Bee Permanent Makeup
Specialist
I’ve been working as a Nurse for over 18 years working with Adults, Children, and Babies within the NHS, Community and Private sectors, however, there has always been something missing from my work life.
I’m very creative and artistic and with my passion for helping others, I started to research retraining in Permanent Makeup. This arose after being inspired by seeing a tv program, featuring Multi-award winning industry expert and trainer Katy Jobbins.
I believe in doing everything to the best of my ability and so I invested in the best 1 to 1 teaching programme I could find and now I am fully insured and licensed Bee Permanent Makeup Artist. Giving me the most amazing job satisfaction through making others not just look but feel beautiful

Specialist Training
I’ve had specialist training in corrective treatments so I am able to perform corrective permanent makeup procedures on unhappy clients that have had their permanent makeup done elsewhere with poor results.
I Use Only the Highest Quality, SAFE, VEGAN & CRUELTY-FREE, Permanent Makeup Pigments on All My Clients…
HIGHEST QUALITY, SPECIALIST PERMANENT MAKEUP PIGMENTS
The colour pigments used at Bee Permanent Makeup have been specifically formulated through years of research and development using only the finest grades of iron oxides and lakes. These are the same ingredients found in makeup giants Lancome, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Truco, Guerlain, MAC, Channel and Gucci cosmetic products.
HYPOALLERGENIC & STERILE
Our pigments are all hypoallergenic and each bottle is sterile, heat sealed, tamper proof and encoded with a lot number and expiration date for your protection.
HIGH COVERAGE & LONGEVITY
As well as makeup, our pigments are also designed for concealing imperfections on burns, scares, cancer, vitiligo and cleft pallet patients. With a micron count of between six and eight, they are supremely concentrated meaning far fewer touch ups over the years.
SUITABLE FOR ALL COLOUR COMBINATIONS
Bee Permanent Makeup stocks a huge range of natural permanent makeup colour pigments which are then custom blended for blondes, brunettes, redheads and clients with silver hair. There really is something for everyone!
Your Consultation & Your New Look Designs
Consultation
The consultation is vital for us to meet and gives me the chance to find out all about you and what you are looking for, how your usual makeup looks, your lifestyle and discuss what can be achieved to get your perfect look.
We complete a health declaration form to check your suitability for the procedure and carry out an essential patch test at least 24 hours before the procedure. I will take pictures and if looking for eyebrows I will draw one with a makeup pencil to show you the shape and make sure you are happy with it.
We can discuss colours and you can ask any questions you have. This also gives you the opportunity to see my Clinic and check you feel comfortable with me and if happy we can get you booked in.
If you live far away we can carry out this process over video call and I can post the patch test equipment and instructions.
Procedure & Anti-Allergy Patch Test
Procedure
The procedure is a 2 part process for eyeliner and eyebrows or up to 3 sessions for lips, at least 6 weeks between session.
Eyebrows will be drawn with a makeup pencil and pictures taken once you are completely happy with the shape. We will agree colour and discuss the healing process, as the permanent makeup will look bolder and darker to begin with, but this will reduce by up to 70% in the first 5-10 days.
The colour will return after 2-3 weeks and may be patchy so the second session will enable me to perfect any unevenness.
Patch Test
All the products I use are hypoallergenic however a patch test is a legal requirement and best to be safe. I will perform the patch test at the consultation or if you live far away I can post the patch test equipment and instructions to you.
If you forget about the test once carried out then this is a great indication that all is well, however if not then please let me know so we can discuss options.
