What is Permanent Makeup?
Are you wondering what Permanent Makeup is? And what is the difference between all these techniques offered by specialists around the world? I will tell you a secret. There is no difference, and the principles are very similar! All these technologies work in one direction, to make you beautiful and save you time and money.
Permanent makeup is a safe and completely controlled method of depositing cosmetic pigments into the outmost upper layer of the skin. Also called cosmetic tattooing, semi-permanent makeup, soft tap or microblading (also called by brand names like 3D and 6D permanent makeup), micropigmentation, helps you look your best even with a busy and active lifestyle.
Permanent makeup is similar to getting a tattoo done, but this is not a tattoo. It is more like semi-permanent makeup that fades over 2-3 years. It is trending in the makeup industry, and not only has it come a long way in making its place in the cosmetic industry, but it is being largely employed in attaining a range of sculpted to natural looks.
Choosing the right specialist always request to see healed result on before and after photos of actual clients similar to your skin type, the skin completion, and the most important – your age. Also, it is very important to remember that the results will look different immediately after the procedure and after healing.

How Permanent Makeup is Done
It’s a permanent pigmentation on the shallow surface of the skin, beneath the epidermis. This is done by using a pen or needles containing iron oxide, making a permanent impression on the skin. A permanent makeup session takes about 30 to 120 minutes in total.
The area which needs to be enhanced is first numbed, and then natural colored pigments are inserted into the dermal layers using very fine needles. The area which is tattooed remains swollen for about 2-5 days. The color of the pigmentation may be bright or dull at first before it settles to give the desired color results.
Types of Permanent Makeup
Permanent Lip Makeup
At a certain age, individuals lose pigmentation around their lips, or some people are looking for some permanent natural color for their lips. High-quality pigments are used to line the outline of the lips for individuals who have a faded lip line or those who want pinker lips; the perfect shade is matched to give it a natural look.
Eyebrows
Unlike micro-blading where cuts are put onto the skin to incorporate pigments in them, this is a hair-stroke technique or a micro-stroke technique used to create a more natural look. This technique is a real savior for those who don’t have naturally thick eyebrows and are craving the thick eyebrow trend. However, eyebrow filling takes two sessions for desired results.
Eyes Lashes
As the makeup industry is drifting towards thicker, curlier, and fuller lashes, most millennials who have less endowed lashes are more enthusiastic to try this technique. Semi-permanent glue is used to stick synthetic lashes made out of horsehair or silk onto the original lashes. The glue is safe to use as it does not irritate the eyes, and neither doesn’t it cause harm to the natural lashes. Customers can choose the size of the lashes between 6mm to 17mm.
Precautions
Here are a few things you must consider before going for permanent makeup:
- Inform your permanent makeup technician if you have a sensitive skin type.
- Inform your permanent makeup technician if you have undergone face surgeries like Botox or lip fillers.
- If you take blood-thinning medications, consult your doctor about the procedure
- Let your permanent makeup artist know about oral prosthesis such as dentures or braces.
