Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup gained worldwide popularity as a simple way to retain the makeup all day long. The most popular permanent makeup options consist of tattooed eyebrows, eye liner, and lip color. But it is not only the women who go for it. Even men are choosing permanent makeup due to many reasons like hiding burns and skin discoloration.
Most of the permanent cosmetics procedures last for 1-2 hours and cost nearly $600. The price will be decided by the type of makeup you prefer. The tattoo artist or technician will use standard tools like pen or rotary machine. Weigh your options carefully prior to selecting the appropriate procedure for you.
Should You Go For Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is highly convenient for most people. You can get up in the morning and save yourself the time and trouble of applying makeup to some portions of your face. It's a great choice for athletes as perspiration doesn’t affect tattooed makeup. You'll also note that this type of makeup is not only for the face. Those with scars or discoloration on other areas of their body can also go for permanent makeup. Color displaced during surgery like pigment of the areola, can be tattooed once mastectomy is done.
People with unwanted features like absence of eyebrow line or eyelashes can easily opt for tattooed makeup. It can improve their look and raise their self-confidence. But you have to make a tough choice with this procedure as you cannot undo the results after the procedure is finished. You'll have to put up with the colors and type of makeup for a long time. Erasing tattoos can be a painful and a very difficult process.
Permanent cosmetics are for people who rarely alter their makeup technique and colors. To pick the suitable colors, be honest with yourself and take a good look at your present choice of colors. For lips, you might select a light shade, as they can be hidden with darker shade to get a different look. For eyeliner or brow, think about the shape and thickness you want carefully.
Always get a qualified technician to do your makeup. The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals can help. Carry out background research on the technicians in your locality and select a well known professional, having adequate experience and training. When selecting an artist, check out the facilities. It should be clean, well-lit, and have a professional touch. Also, look at a portfolio of work done. Look carefully at the pictures of those who have undergone the procedure that you want to do.
After your procedure, you'll notice that your permanent makeup is darker than anticipated. But it lightens after some time as little color fades away. After many weeks, check your new makeup and find out if you approve of it. If you're dissatisfied with the result, contact your technician or tattoo artist. They can do something to alter your look slightly.
