Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup is the technique not very different from tattoos. It involves injecting an ink in the area of skin desired to achieve a made up look. It can be permanent or semi-permanent.

It is opted for by several older women who find it a hassle to apply makeup everyday. It is also used for cancer patients who lose eyebrows and for women in the hospitality industry.

Identifying a technician

The most essential step is to identify a good technician. A person who is not only experienced but also licensed, is a good choice. It is recommended to choose a technician who has a degree in advanced permanent cosmetology than a regular cosmetologist.

He/she needs to have the relevant background to match skin tones properly and preferably recommended by others. One can also verify the technician’s portfolio to see the quality of work done. It is imperative to match eye, hair, and skin colors to achieve a put together look.

Process

The process of applying permanent makeup starts with the application of a topical numbing cream. This is done prior to using a tool to inject the dye/ink into the area desired. The numbing cream helps to alleviate the pain and pricking sensation while the dye is injected.

The dye only seeps through to the first layer of the skin and does not go beyond that. As the body sheds skin cells, the color begins to fade away. This is seen as a quicker process in younger people. The entire process is not painful because of application of the topical numbing cream, however, it may vary with each client, and some people may experience more pain than others may.

Cost Factor

These kinds of aesthetic treatments are definitely a pinch on the pocket. However, given the semi-permanent to permanent nature of the makeup, it has a larger appeal. It costs about $150 for say the eye brows alone and the session will last about 15 minutes end to end. Touch ups may be needed from time to time every three years and is often done at lower prices.

Important things to remember

It is imperative to ensure that you use lighter colors since once applied they cannot be removed. Also, it is recommended to wear day makeup and spruce it up for an evening than applying evening shades. Ensure that your technician is trained, uses new needles for every procedure and follows good sanitation procedures.
