If you’ve seen Perma Blend LUXEOpens a new window across product pages and artist kits but still have questions about what makes it different, this guide breaks it down.
Let’s talk formulation, compliance, workflow, and how LUXE fits into your brow setup.
What Is Perma Blend LUXE?
Perma Blend LUXE is a fully reformulated pigment line created to comply with updated EU REACH regulations introduced in 2022.
As a global manufacturer, Perma Blend developed LUXE so European artists could continue working with pigments that meet strict regulatory standards, without compromising performance.
LUXE pigments are:
- EU REACH compliant
- BVL registered
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Color calibrated for accuracy
- Rigorously tested for micro and heavy metals
- Evaluated by world-renowned artists before release
Same professional standard. Different ingredient structure.
What’s the Difference Between Classic Perma Blend and LUXE?
Both Classic and LUXE pigments are manufactured under strict safety and quality standards. The key difference is formulation.
Classic Perma Blend / Evenflo pigments
- Designed for U.S. and global markets
- Subject to daily rigorous testing
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Safe and compliant for use in the United States
LUXE pigments
- Reformulated to comply with EU REACH regulations
- Use alternative pigment compositions aligned with updated European ingredient restrictions
- Tested extensively for performance, clarity, and ease of use
Because the pigment composition differs, some shades may not be identical between Classic and LUXE versions.
Why Doesn’t the U.S. Follow EU Standards?
Regulatory systems vary by region.
The EU takes a precautionary, pre-market approach, banning or restricting over 1,300 substances in tattoo and cosmetic products.
The U.S. takes a post-market enforcement approach, placing responsibility on manufacturers to ensure safety, with fewer ingredients explicitly banned.
Neither system is inherently superior—they are structured differently. Perma Blend evaluates global requirements to ensure products meet or exceed expectations in every market served.
Is the Classic Line Still Safe?
Yes.
Classic Perma Blend and Evenflo pigments continue to undergo:
- Performance testing
- Micro and heavy metal screening
- Quality control throughout the manufacturing process
They remain safe, vegan, cruelty-free, and compliant for use in the United States.
Will There Be Color Differences?
Yes, and that’s intentional.
Because LUXE uses different pigment compositions to meet EU standards, shades may vary slightly from Classic equivalents. However, each LUXE pigment is:
- Color calibrated for accuracy
- Vigorously tested for clarity
- Designed to heal predictably
The goal remains the same: consistent, professional results.
Choosing the Right Brow Set: Built-In Control vs. Built-In Efficiency
When selecting between bestselling brow systems like Signature Brow and LUXE Ready. Set. Go!, the difference comes down to workflow preference.
- Signature Brow SetOpens a new window: Designed for artists who want full control, custom mixing, and the ability to fine-tune undertones.
- LUXE Ready. Set. Go!Opens a new window: Pre-modified, EU REACH-compliant pigments created for efficiency, balance, and predictable outcomes straight from the bottle.
One gives you total creative control.
The other gives you built-in consistency.
Both are professional-grade. Your workflow determines the right fit.
Building the Perfect Brow Setup
Pigment choice is only part of the equation. The machine and needle configuration determine how that pigment implants, saturates, and heals.
