Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing technique that implants pigment into the skin to replicate makeup features. It can be used for eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner, and even freckles. Similar to lip blushing, the pigments used create a subtle, long-lasting effect.
Pros: Saves time on daily makeup application, enhances facial features, smudge-proof and waterproof.
Cons: Permanent (removal is expensive and difficult), potential for scarring or discoloration, requires touch-ups every few years.
Alternatives: Traditional makeup, cosmetic pencils.
Recovery Time: Varies depending on the area treated. Generally, expect swelling, redness, and scabbing for a week, followed by complete healing within a month. Follow specific aftercare instructions provided by the technician.
Disclaimer: Permanent makeup is a significant procedure. Choose a highly-trained and experienced professional to minimize risks.
