What if I want to change the way I draw on my eyeliner?

Before

After

Properly applied permanent eyeliner should never require “updating” to keep up with any fashion trends, only perhaps additional color as it slowly fades over the years. Its combined eyelash-thickening effect and indelible staying power can never be duplicated by topical cosmetics. Indeed this has become one of the most widely accepted cosmetic tattooing procedures throughout the United States, Europe and much of Asia.

Who gets permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is a convenient solution for people who want to appear looking at their best, but feel self-conscious about sparse eyebrows or eyelashes, or lips that are too thin, asymmetrical, or naturally lacking in color. It’s also ideal for those who have allergies or are irritated by conventional cosmetics, have any physical limitations that makes applying makeup difficult such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke survivors, anyone with unsteady hands, or are physically active and don’t want to worry about “sweating off” their makeup. Cosmetic tattooing can also help cover up unsightly scars and be an adjunct to reconstructive surgery, particularly of the face or breast, to simulate natural pigmentation. The results can last for years, and has the added benefit of saving money and time from the daily makeup application.

Can men benefit from these procedures?

Before

After

Sure, but just like for women, it depends on the individual needs of the person. Typically men can benefit with a subtle enhancement of the eyebrows to give more definition to their eyes and face. A brow procedure is more practical than say, tinting or coloring the brows, especially if there aren’t a lot of hairs to color. The definition from a brow tattoo is also much longer lasting – a few years as opposed to several weeks for tinting.

Will I really look like myself … only better?

Permanent cosmetic makeup helps replenish what time has taken away, but is not intended to replace cosmetics completely especially if you tend to wear heavy-looking makeup. Because the color is placed “in” your skin and not “on” your skin, the result is a more natural, softer look. When you’re getting ready for a special occasion, you can still apply as much additional makeup as you wish.
