The 3 Best Permanent-Makeup Studios Around Lake Tahoe Region

The rise of permanent makeup has transformed beauty routines across the globe, and Lake Tahoe is no exception. With options like microblading, lip blush and lash enhancements, these services offer low-maintenance results that last. The Best of Tahoe showed love for the artists who bring lasting beauty to life with skill, precision and a deep respect for individuality.

The Painted Rose

The Painted Rose isn’t just a spa — it’s a curated experience that blends wellness, aesthetics and artistry under one roof. Known for its serene space and client-centered philosophy, this Stateline favorite offers a range of services, but its approach to permanent makeup stands out. Founder Andrea Morales is the licensed esthetician and artist behind much of the work. Her training in advanced cosmetic tattooing, including microblading and lip blush, reflects a commitment to detail that’s evident in her portfolio. Whether enhancing brows or perfecting a lash line, Andrea consults carefully with each client, making sure the outcome suits both their features and their lifestyle.

Sublime Beauty

Tucked within a shared studio space on Kingsbury Grade, Sublime Beauty keeps things intimate. That’s by design. Founder and permanent makeup artist Michele Lutz built Sublime around a belief that beauty treatments should be highly personal — never rushed and never one-size-fits-all. Her portfolio includes microblading, combo brows and nano strokes, each executed with a level of detail that speaks to years of training. Michele emphasizes skin health and pigment safety, explaining her process clearly and working closely with clients to choose the right shade, shape and style.

Brows By The Lake

Brows By The Lake may not operate out of a traditional storefront, but that hasn’t stopped it from making a name in Tahoe’s growing beauty scene. Specializing in microblading and ombré powder brows, this studio puts brows front and center — with meticulous results that last. Artist and founder Lauren takes a detail-oriented approach to brow shaping, starting with careful measurements and face mapping before a single stroke is made. Her goal is symmetry and subtlety, creating brows that elevate natural features rather than overshadow them.
