I use the innovative Nouveau Contour proprietary needle cartridges designed specifically for high-quality results and minimal skin trauma. Unlike traditional tattoo needle cartridges that are primarily made in China, these cartridges are engineered for perfect compatibility with Nouveau Contour digital machines, allowing for precise pigment application and superior retention.

You can trust that they will not age into crazy colors. They are highly pigmented pigments that work like a dream paired with the Nouveau Contour equipment. I choose pigments that represent the pinnacle of safety and performance for my clients!

Why I Choose Nouveau Contour Pigments

I’ve worked with several pigment lines over the years, including the popular Tina Davies pigments (made by World Famous Tattoo Inks, the same company behind Permablend and other brands). While these inks perform well for traditional body art, my long-term experience with them in permanent makeup has been less consistent than I’d like.

Despite their affordability and bold color range, I found that some of the brow shades—especially those with high carbon content—tended to heal ashy, gray, or even bluish over time. Many clients experienced color shifts within a year, which simply didn’t meet my standard for long-lasting, natural results.

That’s why I made the switch back to Nouveau Contour, a brand that continues to exceed expectations in pigment performance and safety. Their expanded line now includes both hybrid and organic formulas that deliver true-to-tone color, excellent retention, and beautifully natural results that stand the test of time.

Another reason I trust Nouveau Contour is their European-quality manufacturing. European cosmetic regulations are far stricter than those in the U.S.—where, surprisingly, the FDA does not regulate or approve permanent makeup pigments. Nouveau Contour’s pigments meet high safety standards and offer peace of mind for both artist and client.

I still keep a few of the Tina Davies lip shades on hand for returning clients who love their favorite colors, but when it comes to brows and overall pigment performance, Nouveau Contour is my gold standard.

These pigments also pair perfectly with Nouveau Contour’s precision-engineered digital machines and cartridges, creating a smooth, seamless system that allows me to work with incredible accuracy and care. Yes, they’re a greater investment—but the results truly speak for themselves.

With Nouveau Contour, my clients enjoy:

A gentler procedure
Faster healing
Better pigment retention
Longer-lasting color
And a more natural, polished look overall

For me, it’s simple: I want to work with the best—because my clients deserve the best.
And that’s exactly what Nouveau Contour delivers
