How do I Know if I Need Permanent Makeup
Almost everyone can benefit from Permanent Makeup, it helps in giving back and saves the precious time you normally spend “putting on your face”. You can save countless hours in a single year that were spent struggling to draw eyebrows evenly or eyeliner half-way-straight… Gives you confidence, saves you from allergies, lifts your face, assists with health complications like hair loss, lasts a long time, is waterproof, that is a lot of extra free time, not to mention what’s your time worth?
Permanent Makeup is not necessarily intended to replace cosmetics completely… when you’re ready to kick your heels and go out for a night in the town or want a different look, you can apply as much additional makeup as you wish for a more dramatic look.
What is it Exactly?
It is a cosmetic tattoo… implanting color in your skin, the pigments are designed for your face simulating the natural human hair color. Ideal mix that matches your favorite lipstick, or neutralizes dark lips giving you a fresh new color, it really helps Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo procedure, it is just a different technique from Permanent Makeup.
How long will it take to recover?
Honestly, it depends on your skin type, some will be red and puffy for a day or hours, some can be just perfect right after the procedure, the area from eyebrows, eyes, lips are different and it will be a specific aftercare for each procedure …
How long can I expect it to last?
It depends on your skin type and the technique applied, it lasts a lot longer than traditional makeup or any temporary tint or henna, but it will not show forever, the visible pigment will fade over time, you can get a color booster yearly to refresh, it can last 2 to 3 years.
Is it painful? I’m scared
It is not painful, topical anesthetics are applied before or during the procedure, don’t be scared.
