What is Permanent Makeup?

Tired of putting on eyeliner, defining/shaping your eyebrows, or lining your lips everyday? Well there's a technique called Permanent Makeup. It is a form of cosmetic tattoo. Yes, a tattoo which will enhance the color of your eyebrows, eyes, and lips.

Permanent Makeup, also known as Micro pigmentation, is a form of cosmetic tattooing used to enhance our facial features.

Many women prefer permanent makeup on their eyebrows so they will never have to trace their eyebrow shape ever again. Some have it on their eyes. While some have it on their lips.

The procedure is in fact painless to painful depending per person.

Permanent makeup may begin to fade over time but some generally last 3-5 years.

Remember to choose a skilled, experienced permanent makeup professional because there are cases where the outcomes are "too dark" "too thick" or "wrong color" So it's best to look at their portfolio.
