Meet Denise Onstad:
Denise is a pioneer in the field of permanent cosmetics and corrective permanent cosmetic makeup or micropigmentation, a method of implanting subtle color into a person’s skin. Creating permanent eyeliner, permanent eyebrows (or eyebrow tattoo), as well as permanent lip liner to full lip color.
With over 20 years in the beauty field, including work as a makeup artist at Vidal Sassoon in New York City, she has been committed exclusively to permanent cosmetic make up and enhancing faces since 1992. WakeUp MadeUp was established for the sole purpose of providing a controlled clinical environment to perform permanent cosmetic procedures. After moving home to Minnesota in 1993 to perform permanent make up, she began five years of service at Abbott Northwestern Hospital’s Center for Cosmetic Care. While at the Center she worked closely with many of the physicians and medical staff. Over the years patients have been referred to her by doctors’ offices such as that of LipoStructure inventor, Dr. Sydney Coleman and two-time “Best Doctor in America”, Dr. Roy Geronemus. Her private practice providing permanent cosmetic makeup flourishes in St. Louis Park, MN, near Minneapolis, Minnesota. She continues to remain current with industry advancements and standards. Safety and comfort are her priorities. The service that she provides is a marriage of art and science that can enhance the look a person already has, create what they wish they had or camouflage what they wish wasn’t there.

Permanent makeup, also known as permanent cosmetics, micro pigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is the placement of pigment (color) into the dermal layer of the skin. Imagine having perfectly designed eyebrows, beautifully defined eyes and lips that have definition and subtle color or not so subtle color. It’s makeup that lasts for several years—not a day! Wash and wear makeup!

Medically proven and designed to be completely safe. Recommended by physicians and written about by beauty editors. Undoubtedly, enjoyed by women as well as men across the world.
