Permanent makeup can redefine, correct or enhance specific areas of the face and body through the controlled implantation of pigments into the skin. In Paris, Maryna Jay offers an expert, natural and highly personalised approach to permanent makeup, based on facial harmony, technical precision and advanced expertise in colour theory.
Maryna Jay specialises in natural permanent makeup, colour theory for medium and dark skin tones, the neutralisation of pigmented lips, 3D areola dermopigmentation and restorative dermopigmentation in Paris.
Colour theory lies at the heart of her work. Every skin tone has its own undertones, pigment response and healing characteristics. The same colour will not produce identical results on fair, medium, dark, mixed-race or Mediterranean skin. This is why Maryna carefully assesses the natural colour of the skin, lips or area to be treated before selecting the pigment, technique and appropriate level of intensity.
Her expertise is suited both to those wishing to enhance the appearance of their eyebrows, lips or eyes and to those seeking more specialised treatment for naturally pigmented lips, medium and dark skin tones, correction of previous permanent makeup, non-laser permanent makeup removal, scars, burns, vitiligo or restorative areola dermopigmentation. détatouage sans laser, cicatrices, brûlures, vitiligo ou dermopigmentation réparatrice des aréoles mammaires.
Over the years, Maryna Jay has developed increasingly advanced expertise in restorative treatments. Her work extends beyond aesthetics: she also supports people who wish to feel more at ease with their appearance following surgery, scarring, burns, depigmentation or breast reconstruction.
Permanent makeup in Paris: eyebrows, lips, Lip Blush, pigmented lips, eye enhancement and restorative dermopigmentation.
Expertise in colour theory: precise pigment selection based on skin tone, undertones, the treatment area and the desired healed result.
Restorative dermopigmentation: 3D areola dermopigmentation, scars, burns, vitiligo and specialist treatments for medium and dark skin tones.
Personalised approach: every skin type, pigmentation and treatment indication requires an individual assessment.
Permanent makeup, also known as aesthetic dermopigmentation, involves introducing pigments into the superficial layers of the skin using a dermograph. The technique can be used to redefine the eyebrows, enhance the natural colour of the lips, intensify the eyes or correct certain pigmentation irregularities.
Unlike conventional makeup, the result does not disappear when makeup is removed. It evolves gradually over time according to the skin, cellular renewal, sun exposure, skincare products and the quality of the healing process.
Permanent makeup should not be regarded simply as a cosmetic tattoo. Achieving a successful result requires genuine technical expertise: careful colour selection, appropriate implantation depth, an understanding of skin undertones, anticipation of the healed result and respect for the natural balance of the face.
Successful permanent makeup depends on more than the design or implantation technique. It also requires the ability to select the right colour, for the right area and the individual skin being treated.
Colour theory is one of Maryna Jay’s core areas of expertise. Before every treatment, she assesses the skin’s undertones, the natural colour of the area, any previous pigmentation and the desired healed result. This analysis helps prevent a result that appears excessively cool, grey, red, orange or overly intense.
This expertise is particularly important for:
Maryna never selects a pigment simply because it looks attractive in the bottle. She anticipates how it may evolve once implanted in the skin. This ability to anticipate the healed colour is fundamental to achieving a result that is more natural, stable and harmonious.
For more complex cases, such as highly pigmented lips, previous pigmentation, scars or dark skin tones, treatment may need to be carried out in several stages. The aim is to work progressively and with respect for the skin in order to achieve visible improvement that remains coherent with the client’s natural complexion.
Permanent eyebrow makeup can restructure a brow line that is sparse, asymmetrical or poorly defined. Depending on the desired result, the treatment may involve a powder effect, a more structured finish or the correction of previous pigmentation.
This treatment is suitable for those who wish to save time each morning, achieve a more harmonious brow shape or correct uneven eyebrows.
On medium and dark skin tones, pigment selection is particularly important. A shade that is too cool may heal grey or bluish, while a shade that is too warm may develop red or orange tones. Maryna adapts both the technique and colour selection to each individual skin tone in order to preserve a natural-looking result.
Naturally pigmented lips require a different approach from pale or naturally pink lips. They may display brown, purplish, bluish or grey undertones associated with melanin, skin undertones and the way the area heals.
With Dark Lips Balance™, Maryna Jay offers a progressive approach to neutralising and harmonising lips with dark or uneven pigmentation. The process involves assessing the initial colour, understanding the dominant undertones, selecting appropriate pigments and anticipating how the colour will evolve after healing.
This technique requires advanced expertise in colour theory. It is not simply a matter of covering pigmented lips with a lighter shade. An unsuitable pigment choice can intensify cool undertones, create a dull result or produce unstable colour. Maryna therefore works progressively, respecting the way each individual’s skin responds.
Every protocol is personalised. The number of sessions depends on the natural lip colour, the intensity of the pigmentation, the healing process and the desired result. The aim is to achieve lips that appear more harmonious, luminous and balanced, without promising an unrealistic or identical outcome for every individual.
Permanent eye makeup can enhance the eyes with lash-line enhancement or permanent eyeliner. Lash-line enhancement generally creates a more subtle and natural effect, while eyeliner can provide a more defined result.
This area requires considerable technical precision because eyelid skin is particularly fine and sensitive. The shape, intensity and thickness must be selected carefully in order to complement the eyes and respect their natural morphology.
Maryna favours an elegant and controlled approach, tailored to each individual and the desired result.
Permanent makeup on medium and dark skin tones requires specialist expertise. The same pigments and techniques used on fair skin cannot simply be applied in exactly the same way. Melanin levels, skin undertones, inflammatory response, healing and the way pigments evolve over time must all be considered from the outset.
Maryna Jay places particular emphasis on colour theory for medium, dark, mixed-race and Mediterranean skin tones. Before every treatment, she assesses the natural skin colour, dominant undertones, treatment area and desired healed result. This technical assessment helps avoid results that appear excessively cool, grey, red, orange or artificial.
This expertise is particularly important for Dark Lips Balance™, permanent eyebrow makeup on medium and dark skin tones, scar camouflage, vitiligo dermopigmentation when the area is stable, 3D areola dermopigmentation and the correction of previous pigments that have changed colour over time.
Every skin responds differently. Two people with similar complexions may heal in very different ways. Maryna therefore never applies a standardised approach. Pigment selection, intensity, implantation depth, the timing of sessions and the overall treatment strategy are always personalised.
On medium and dark skin tones, the aim is not to impose an artificial colour, but to achieve correction or enhancement that remains coherent with the natural complexion. The result should remain elegant, balanced and individually appropriate.

Beyond aesthetic permanent makeup, Maryna Jay also practises restorative dermopigmentation. This approach is designed to visually improve areas affected by surgery, scarring, burns, depigmentation or reconstruction.
Restorative dermopigmentation requires particularly careful assessment. Skin colour, tissue texture, the age and stability of the mark, healing characteristics and the individual’s expectations must all be taken into consideration.
Maryna has developed this specialism over the years with precision, caution and sensitivity. Her work has both a technical and a deeply human dimension, supporting people in their well-being, confidence and relationship with their appearance.
The 3D dermopigmentation of breast areolas is one of Maryna Jay’s most recognised specialties. This technique visually recreates an areola following a mastectomy, breast reconstruction, surgery, asymmetry or a periareolar scar.
The work relies on precise design, the illusion of depth, mastery of colour nuances and an in-depth understanding of skin colour theory. Each areola is created individually, taking into account body morphology, skin tone, medical history and the desired result.
In 2025, Maryna Jay received professional recognition for her work in 3D areola dermopigmentation, ranking No. 2 in France and No. 6 worldwide in this specialty. This distinction reflects her technical standards and commitment to restorative dermopigmentation.
Beyond the technical aspect, this treatment requires a deeply human approach. Maryna supports each person with sensitivity, attentive listening and care during what can be a highly emotional experience. The aim is to help restore visual harmony while also contributing to well-being and a renewed sense of connection with one’s body.
Restorative dermopigmentation is not a substitute for medical care. Maryna Jay works within an aesthetic and restorative framework, after assessing the area to be treated and only when the skin is sufficiently stable to be pigmented.
Some situations may require prior medical advice, particularly following recent surgery, breast reconstruction, a burn, an evolving scar, dermatological treatment, a history of keloids or an active skin condition.
The purpose of dermopigmentation is not to treat a medical condition or completely erase a scar, but to visually improve the harmony of an area when the technical conditions allow it.
Over the years, Maryna Jay has developed specific expertise in restorative dermopigmentation for scars, burns and vitiligo. These indications require a different approach from conventional aesthetic permanent makeup.
The aim is not to apply decorative makeup to an area, but to visually improve colour irregularities, depigmentation or visible marks. Treatment may be suitable for certain surgical scars, older scars, healed burns, depigmented areas or colour differences associated with vitiligo.
Each case requires a prior assessment: skin colour, scar texture, age of the mark, stability of the area, skin reaction, the person’s expectations and technical feasibility. Dermopigmentation cannot always completely erase a mark, but it can help blend it more harmoniously with the surrounding skin when conditions are suitable.
This specialisation also reflects an important dimension of Maryna’s work: supporting people in their well-being. For some clients, living with a scar, burn or depigmentation can be difficult on a daily basis. Restorative dermopigmentation can become part of a broader journey towards greater confidence, peace of mind and a renewed sense of ownership of one’s appearance.
Le camouflage de cicatrices, de brûlures ou de zones dépigmentées sur peaux mates et foncées demande une grande précision. Ces peaux peuvent présenter des variations de couleur complexes, avec des sous-tons bruns, dorés, rouges, olive, froids ou chauds. La cicatrisation peut également modifier la perception de la couleur après la séance.
Maryna Jay approaches these indications with caution and technical precision. Before any restorative dermopigmentation treatment, she assesses the stability of the area, skin texture, the colour difference between the mark and the surrounding skin, and the feasibility of camouflage.
On dark skin, the aim is not to simply cover a scar or depigmented area. The work must be progressive, nuanced and adapted to the person’s actual skin tone. A correction that is too light, too dark or poorly balanced could make the area more visible instead of blending it harmoniously.
For vitiligo, the approach must be even more cautious. The area must be stable, and the result depends on many factors: skin colour, location, progression of the depigmentation, skin reaction and healing. Maryna favours an individual assessment to determine whether dermopigmentation is suitable.
This specialisation has a strong human dimension: supporting people who wish to feel more comfortable with their appearance after a scar, burn, surgery or visible depigmentation.
Old permanent makeup can change over time: eyebrows may become grey, bluish, orange or too dark; lip contours may become overly defined; eyeliner may appear too prominent; or pigmentation may become asymmetrical or poorly positioned.
In some cases, colour correction is possible. In others, the old pigment must first be lightened using non-laser removal before new pigmentation can be considered.
Maryna Jay carries out an individual assessment to determine the most appropriate strategy: correction, removal, neutralisation, gradual coverage or allowing additional time for healing.
This approach is particularly important when the previous colour has shifted or when the skin has already been weakened by multiple pigmentation procedures. The aim is not to promise an immediate correction, but to develop a gradual, realistic strategy that respects the skin.
Each treatment is carried out in accordance with strict hygiene protocols, using sterile, single-use equipment whenever required. The treatment area and equipment are carefully prepared to ensure appropriate conditions for dermopigmentation.
The pigments used are carefully selected according to the skin, the area being treated and the desired result. They comply with applicable European regulations, including the REACH Regulation.
Before any pigmentation procedure, Maryna Jay assesses the skin, its reaction, the stability of the area and any potential contraindications. When necessary, the treatment may be postponed or medical advice requested before proceeding.
The session begins with an assessment of the area to be treated: morphology, natural colour, undertones, symmetry, previous pigmentation, skin type, expectations and any potential contraindications.
For complex cases (naturally pigmented lips, previous pigmentation, removal, scars, areolas, dark skin or vitiligo), sending photos before the appointment may be recommended.
Shape and colour are never chosen at random. They must complement the face, skin, personal style and the expected healed result.
A colour that looks beautiful immediately after the treatment may evolve differently depending on the skin. Expertise therefore lies in anticipating how that colour will develop.
Pigmentation is performed using a dermograph and pigments suited to the area being treated. The technique varies depending on the treatment: eyebrows, lips, eyes, areolas, scars or correction.
After the treatment, the area evolves. The colour may initially appear more intense before gradually becoming lighter. A healing phase is normal. The final result cannot be assessed immediately, but only once the skin has stabilised.
A touch-up may be necessary to adjust the intensity, shape or uniformity of the result. Some treatments, particularly complex colour corrections, scars or areolas, may require several sessions.
How long permanent makeup lasts depends on several factors:
Permanent makeup can last from several months to several years, but it gradually evolves over time. Maintenance may be recommended to preserve a harmonious result.
For a standard treatment such as eyebrows or Lip Blush, an initial session followed by a touch-up is often recommended.
For more complex cases, several sessions may be required
Maryna Jay favours a gradual approach to respect the skin and achieve a more controlled result.
Before a permanent makeup session, it is recommended that you inform Maryna of:
Some situations may require medical advice or postponement of the treatment.
Permanent makeup and restorative dermopigmentation are based on trust. Each treatment page features a gallery of before-and-after results, as well as reviews from clients who have undergone the corresponding procedure.
Each result depends on the skin, the area treated, healing, the age of any previous pigment and the number of sessions required. Before-and-after photos help illustrate what may be achievable, but they never constitute a guarantee of identical results.
Client reviews and feedback can also provide insight into the quality of the support, the precision of the work and the relationship of trust built with each person.
Choosing Maryna Jay means choosing a technical, artistic and deeply personalised approach to permanent makeup.
Her expertise goes beyond technique alone. It also relies on an understanding of the skin, mastery of colour theory and the ability to anticipate the healed result. Maryna assesses undertones, skin tone, the area to be treated and any previous pigmentation before defining the most appropriate strategy.
She is particularly recognised for her expertise in:
Maryna has developed this specialisation over the years with consistently high technical standards, shaped by extensive international practice. Her approach is always bespoke: every skin type, every person and every story requires a different assessment.
Beyond the aesthetic result, Maryna places great importance on personal support. Some treatments are closely connected to self-image, reconstruction, confidence and well-being. Her work aims to help each person feel more comfortable with their appearance, with precision, attentive listening and respect.
Prices vary depending on the treatment, the area being treated, the complexity of the work and the number of sessions required.
A standard permanent makeup treatment for the eyebrows, lips or eyes does not require the same approach as correcting previous pigmentation, neutralising naturally pigmented lips, 3D areola dermopigmentation or scar camouflage.

Both terms are commonly used to refer to aesthetic dermopigmentation. Unlike a conventional tattoo, the result is not permanent: it evolves gradually over time depending on the skin, the pigment used, sun exposure and the healing process.
Colour theory makes it possible to select a pigment that is appropriate for the skin, its undertones and the desired healed result. Inaccurate colour analysis can lead to a result that appears too grey, too red, too orange, too cool or overly pronounced. This is particularly important for the lips, eyebrows, dark skin tones, areola dermopigmentation and the correction of previous pigmentation.
Yes, but it requires specific expertise. Medium and dark skin tones have particular characteristics in terms of melanin, undertones, pigment response and healing. Maryna Jay adapts both pigment selection and technique to each individual in order to achieve a natural and harmonious result.
On darker skin tones, the implanted pigment interacts with higher levels of melanin as well as undertones that may be warm, cool, red, golden, olive or purplish. Poor colour analysis may result in a shade that appears too grey, too red, too orange or excessively pronounced. This is why a precise understanding of colour theory is essential.
Lip Blush is a permanent lip makeup technique designed to create a natural, soft and luminous result. Permanent lip makeup is a broader term that can encompass different finishes, including a sheer wash of colour, contour definition, colour correction or a more visible enhancement.
In some cases, yes. Lips with brown, purplish, bluish or grey undertones may be treated through a progressive neutralisation approach such as Dark Lips Balance™. The result depends on the natural lip colour, undertones, healing response and the number of sessions required.
Neutralising pigmented lips often requires several sessions. The outcome depends on the natural colour of the lips, melanin levels, healing and the individual response of the skin.
In some cases, yes. The scar must be stable and technically suitable for dermopigmentation. On darker skin tones, camouflage requires a detailed assessment of both colour and texture to avoid making the treated area more noticeable.
It may be considered in certain cases, provided the area is stable and the initial assessment confirms that treatment is technically suitable. The outcome depends on skin tone, the area concerned, the stability of the vitiligo and the healing response.
In some cases, yes. Depending on the colour, depth and shape of the existing pigmentation, it may be possible to correct, neutralise, cover or lighten the pigment through non-laser permanent makeup removal.
Not necessarily. If the existing pigmentation is too dark, poorly positioned, grey, bluish, red or orange, lightening may be recommended before applying new pigmentation. An initial assessment helps determine the most appropriate strategy.
There is no mandatory State diploma specifically required to practise permanent makeup in France. Maryna Jay has completed the mandatory Hygiene and Sanitation training required for this activity. Her expertise has been developed through more than 12 years of intensive international practice and progressive specialisation in complex cases.
Yes. Maryna Jay performs 3D areola dermopigmentation in Paris. This treatment may be suitable following mastectomy, breast reconstruction, surgery, asymmetry or periareolar scarring.
In some cases, yes. Dermopigmentation can help visually harmonise certain scars, stabilised burns or depigmented areas. An initial assessment is necessary to evaluate technical feasibility, the stability of the area, skin colour and the individual’s expectations.
No. Complete removal should never be promised. The aim is to improve the visual harmony between the treated area and the surrounding skin when the scar or depigmented area is technically suitable for treatment.
Yes. This is recommended for more complex cases, including pigmented lips, previous pigmentation, corrective work, non-laser removal, areolas, scars, burns, vitiligo and dark skin tones. A photograph can help assess feasibility and guide you towards the most appropriate treatment.
