Permanent Makeup Tattooing - The Basics

If you're tired of putting on makeup day after day and having to touch it up all throughout the day, permanent makeup might be for you. Or if you're tired of the cost of cosmetics and keeping them stored neatly and conveniently, permanent cosmetics might also be for you.

Also called micropigmentation, permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing designed to enhance your facial features and look like makeup.

What kinds of permanent makeup can you get?

You can have your eyebrows shaped and colored. "Eyeliner" can be applied to make the lashes appear thicker. Lip liner and full lip color can change the look of currently too thin, too thick, and too pale lips. And camouflage can help blend uneven skin pigmentation or lessen the appearance of scars.

Permanent makeup saves time on those days you have to run out of the house, but still allows you to modify and enhance your look further if you want.

Athletes and people who work or play hard no longer have to worry about makeup running while sweating or swimming. You don't have to worry as much about going to touch up in the middle of the day.

Other reasons to get permanent makeup might be good for people whose eyesight is failing, or those with disabilities that prohibit a steady hand like Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's.

Lots of people apply permanent makeup, but not all are good. Lots do it, but choose wisely. This is permanent and you want it to look good. Look at work they've done. If they have no portfolio skip them and look for someone else. Don't be afraid to pay more for quality. This isn't an area to skimp. If done wrong, you can end up looking worse than when you went in, or the effects can fade very quickly.

Prices for procedures vary. As we mentioned before, don't skimp on price. Instead, go for the best quality the first time around.

You will probably need to go in for a second application or touch up a month or so after the initial application. Be sure this is worked into the initial price.

Also, find out the process if you are not happy with the results. A truly professional applicator shouldn't be offended by the question. Hopefully they have very few, if any, dissatisfied customers, but you are dealing with another human being who is just as fallible as you are. So have the uncomfortable "what if" conversation up front. You just might learn a lot about the person you're considering to permanently mark up your face.
