I recently discussed micro-blading, a simple but effective way to shape and fill your brows semi-permanently while also reducing the amount of time you spend applying—and reapplying—makeup. Permanent makeup, which includes micro-blading, is a popular beauty trend.
In this blog, I will discuss the most frequently asked questions about permanent makeup. You can consult with a local aesthetician if you want to know more about this mini-surgery.
What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the color and shape of your facial features by using micro-pigmentation (tattooing). Permanent makeup services add color and definition to the brows, eyelids, and lips.
Depending on the design, color value, and amount of pigment you choose, it can look like freshly applied lipstick, lip liner, eyebrow pencil, and eyeliner, or it can be completely undetectable. To put it another way, you have the option of merely enhancing your natural appearance or going for something more spectacular.
What Are the Benefits of Permanent Makeup?
The most apparent advantage is the ability to reduce — or even eliminate — your daily makeup routines. Permanent makeup is a beautiful choice if you are very active, if you have lost hair or lip color due to aging, medical problems, or allergic to conventional makeup.
How Is Permanent Makeup Applied?
Your esthetician will work with you to find the best look for your eyelashes, lips, and eyebrows.
After you and the esthetician have decided on a look that complements your characteristics, she will apply a numbing product before meticulously applying pigment with a tattoo pen (or, in the case of your brows, a micro-blade) to achieve the desired result.
The process typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
You should expect your lips or eyebrows to be slightly swollen or your lash line to be reddened somewhat for a few days after the surgery. The hue will be bright at first, but as your epidermis forms a new layer, it will fade to the desired shade. Within a week or two, you should be completely healed.
Is It Safe to Apply Permanent Makeup On Your Skin?
The processes are usually safe in the hands of a trained professional. However, state regulatory agencies have not kept up with the industry’s growth, and there are many unqualified individuals wielding needles. Permanent makeup, like tattoos, is referred to as micro-pigmentation.
How Long Does Permanent Makeup Last?
Don’t be worried! You are not committed to the look you choose this year for the rest of your life. Individual factors such as sun exposure and the use of skin serums and lotions, which may fade color over time, influence the duration.
Changes in color value over time are also influenced by your natural skin tones. More drastic applications would almost certainly need a touch-up before more natural-looking ones.
Permanent makeup, on the other hand, typically lasts between 18 months to three years.
Permanent makeup is a safe, successful, and growingly popular treatment of today’s beauty routine. So, are you ready for a life-changing session?
