What Is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup is a dermatological procedure using cosmetic tattooing to apply inks to simulate the look of makeup.

Why Do People Choose Permanent Makeup?

You might choose permanent makeup to enhance your appearance, or because you want to not have to spend time applying makeup. You may also want to enjoy the precision of permanent makeup, giving you a beautiful, effortless appearance.

Medical reasons to consider permanent makeup are to restore the area around the nipple, the areola, to enhance the appearance of your breasts if you have had reconstructive surgery. You may also choose permanent makeup to minimize scarring due to acne and other factors.

How Does Eyebrow Permanent Makeup Work?

Eyebrow permanent makeup is a process often known as microblading. The procedure uses an ultra thin tattooing tool to apply ink in fine brush strokes, resembling eyebrow hairs.

How Does Lip Permanent Makeup Work?

Lip permanent makeup is often known as lip blushing. The procedure uses sheer ink to create a color wash over your lips.

How Does Eyeliner Permanent Makeup Work?

Permanent eyeliner can be applied right at the lash line, to create a more open eye and fuller appearance of your lashes. Semipermanent eyeliner can also be applied above the lash line to create a customized look.

How Does Scarring Minimization Work?

To minimize scarring, your provider will apply flesh-colored ink to cover acne scarring, stretch marks, and other scarring issues.
