Everyone wants to look flawless at any moment, but we can all agree that most of us don't feel like a sleeping beauty 24/7. We purchase countless makeup products, spending hundreds of dollars a year and, moreover, wasting our precious time each morning getting ready for the day. And how frustrating is it when you make one wrong move with the eyeliner, and all your effort goes to waste? So, do we just put up with it, or is there another solution?
Let me introduce you to permanent makeup. In this article, we'll focus on the advantages of this beauty procedure and the aspects you want to consider before booking an appointment.
What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup (also called a cosmetic tattoo or micropigmentation) is a cosmetic procedure used to improve or replace lost coloring on the skin. It is performed with the use of a needle that applies pigment beneath the upper layer of the skin to enhance the natural color or add a desired pigment to skin areas of choice.
A cosmetic tattoo can mimic eyeliner and lipstick, or it can darken and create the look of thicker eyebrows. It can camouflage scars and help with the look of an uneven hairline.
The Benefits of Permanent Makeup
Microblading is an easy way to achieve an effortless makeup look that doesn't require time-consuming daily commitments. But what else does it have to offer?
Cost-Efficient
According to
research, Americans spend between $244 and $313 on cosmetics every month. Instead of shopping at beauty stores couple times a month, why not save money and have a long-lasting effect? For most people, their cosmetic tattoos will last between 1-3 years, requiring only infrequent maintenance.
Time-Saving
Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, nurse, student, or sales agent, no matter what career field or life stage you are in, we can all agree that sometimes time seems to fly by. Everyone has days when they don't even get to eat breakfast; what can even be said about spending 30 - 60 min on makeup? Permanent makeup gives you the freedom and time to prioritize what is truly necessary for you.
Boosts Confidence
Is there a visible scar or pigmentation that makes you feel self-conscious or hair loss due to health issues? Your permanent makeup artist can help find the right solution for your specific needs to help you feel your best again. Restorative tattoo procedures include areola restoration, scar camouflage, stretch mark camouflage, cleft palate lip restoration, under-eye camouflage, and more.
Defines Your Best Features
Modern permanent makeup is not that same old cosmetic tattoo that looks awkward and unrealistic. With new techniques, you are now able to achieve a natural look, even if it is simply to define certain features. Accentuate your lips by improving the lip size, definition, and color. Get the perfect shaded eyeliner to create the appearance of fuller lashes and uplifted eyes. Or create a very natural "lightly shaped with pencil" eyebrow look with Powder Brows technique.
Creates a Unique Look Nowadays, there is also a rise in the popularity of Faux Freckles, which is a semi-permanent tattoo that mimics the look of natural freckles. If you have been dreaming of the innocent young look that freckles create, then this may be just the one for you.
