Permanent Makeup Basics


Advertisement
If the makeup is not applied properly, it can be very difficult to remove it.

If you have a very busy schedule or allergies to certain products, permanent makeup on your eyes and lips can be a good option for you. Areas that can be enhanced include your eyebrows, around your eyes on the eyelid and inside the lower lash line; sometimes pigment is used to create eye shadow too. You can also choose to have permanent lip liner applied; this makes lips look more professionally finished, and thin lips slightly fuller.

How it's done
A trained technician will apply your permanent makeup in a procedure called micro pigment implementation. In effect, it's similar to doing a tattoo.

Recovery
Eyebrows: immediate; Eyes: 24 to 48 hours; Lips: 3 to 5 days..

Complications
There can be soreness and swelling. If the makeup is not applied properly, it can be very difficult to remove it.

Cost
Eyebrows: $795; Eyes: $695 to $795; Lips: $995.
