Are Permanent Make-up Pigments Safe?

The thought of having a permanent make up and enjoy the dazzling beauty of perfectly shaped eyebrows, lash lines and lips is tempting enough for any girl to go crazy for this technique, but it is very important to consider other options and know the pros and cons of this technique.

Having a permanent makeup may give you satisfactory results the week after your procedure, but as the time passes, the iron-oxide based pigments, used in this technique will start changing color, as iron-oxide will react with oxygen in the air, and may consequently turn your beautiful black brows into blue or pinkish brows.

However, the non-organic iron oxide based pigments are approved by FDA, but still they have a negative effect on your skin. Injecting iron-oxide pigments can be really painful for you and your skin and sometime skin may perceive them as foreign particles and may react negatively with these pigments.

On the other hand, it is your responsibility to search and look out for other techniques that does not use iron oxide based pigments, such as, Semi-permanent makeup that involves organic non-iron oxide pigments. These pigments are totally natural and hence will fade away completely after three years with no down time.

Organic mineral pigments do not cause any problem during MRI unlike iron-oxide based pigments and completely healthy for skin and above all, they will not change color even after 2 years, and will completely fade after 3 years, revealing your initial natural look.

So you can enjoy the beauty of your dreams without any risk involved, but it is always best to do an extensive research on all the innovative techniques, and then chose the best possible option to enhance your beauty. Make sure you find an experience cosmetologist, specialized in semi-permanent make up, and let you beauty rock the world for 3 years, and even after that if you choose so!

How to take care of your Permanent Eyebrows

So you have come home after perfect looking permanent eyebrows, now what? Taking care of your permanent eyebrows after the procedure, is really very important to sustain the pigment as well as your facial beauty. Any mistake, even the minor scrubbing or scratching the newly injected pigment can cause complications, which usually don’t come under your cosmetologist insurance, thereby it is very important to take care of your permanent eyebrows, at least for 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum health safety and avoid any complication.

•    Your newly created permanent eyebrows will feel tight and dry for up to a week after procedure and you have to make sure to keep the area moist with ointment or Vaseline, otherwise you will feel the temptation to scratch your brows.

•    DO NOT use your fingers to apply ointment, use a Q-Tip to apply the Vaseline, and only place a little amount of Vaseline on your brow, and allow it to melt naturally with your body heat.

•    Taking a shower will not harm your permanent eyebrows, however, it is important to coat your brows with a thick layer of Vaseline, before taking shower and avoid any product with Glycolic, Hydroxyl or Fruit Acid until your pigmented area is fully healed.

•    Keep your pigmented area safe from sun, by using a sun screen. This tip is not only until your area is healed, this tip is advised to practice for life time, because sun usually quicken the fading process of pigments.

•    NEVER SCRUB, SCRATCH or PEEL your pigmented area. Within a number of days, you will find flakes of pigment on your pigmented areas, avoid any temptation to remove them and let your permanent eyebrows heal on its own gradually.

•    DO NOT sleep on sides for at least a week after your procedure, as it may cause harm to the pigmented area.

Losing Your Eyebrow Hair? This is what you can do!

Eyebrow form an important architecture of face, harmonizing and defining facial features to the fullest. Eyebrows can be enhanced and tamed by eyebrow pencils, brow powders, brushes, stencils and permanent makeup eyebrows to increase the overall attraction appeal of facial features.

However, there are some people who suffer from eyebrow hair loss, which can happen due to a number of reasons, including genetic conditions, lack of nutrients, accidents, bacteria, excessive plucking or age. Are you too worried about the loss of your eyebrow hair? Then these little tips can help you enhance your beauty and confidence.

1.    Moisturize & Massage

Eyebrow hairs also need moisturizer and massage, just like your other body parts and hair. Applying a good moisturizing lotion or cream to your eyebrows, especially in winter can really make them healthier and strong. Moreover moisturizing creams, such as Folligen Cream or Castor oil are good for massaging your eyebrow area to stimulate hair growth.

2.    Healthy Diet

If you have facing excessive loss of eyebrow hairs, it is time you check your diet and include healthy foods like protein rich foods, tofu and nuts. Stay away from sugary foods, as they can cause hair loss.

3.    Be Happy

Do you know stress can be the biggest enemy of your hair? Stress causes white blood cells to attack your hair follicles, causing hair loss. Eat chocolates, do yoga, listen to your favorite songs and just be happy! Don’t let stress take over you!

4.    Consult a Dermatologist

A dermatologist will identify the core cause of your hair loss through tests and analysis of skin. Thereby, consulting a dermatologist can really help you gain confidence and get the proper treatment your eyebrows need!

Permanent Eyeliner – Aftercare Tips

Permanent eyeliner can be the best option for women who are crazy for their eyeliners. Yeah, some women are, including me! If you are one of those women, who feel “naked” if she is not wearing her mysterious black eyeliner, then yes, permanent eyeliner can save half of your makeup regime time!

Plus, I have always tend to wash my face during office hours, yes may be in the middle of the day, to click the refresh button, and at that time I hate to reapply my makeup, that and there are so many other moments, when women completely want to apply their dear eyeliner, but Alas they don’t have time! Well, the only solution that seems reasonable and safe at this time is permanent eyeliner! Safe, if you do the desired result pre-procedure and extensive care after-procedure!

So if you have just come home with brand new permanent eyeliner, this is what you need to know!

1.    Treated area remains tender and very sensitive until the wound is completely healed so avoid the temptation to scratch.

2.    If your permanent eyeliner feels puffy, apply cold wet cotton pads soaked in distilled water and baby oil. Chill pads in freezer for 4 to 5 minutes and then apply them on your eyes softly.

3.     Keep the pigmented area moist all time with Vaseline, A & D ointment or Lanolin. To apply them on your permanent eyeliner, use a Q – Tip or micro Q – Tip. Please do not scrape the sealant directly on the pigmented area, only place it gently on your eyeliner and it will melt automatically with your natural body heat.

4.    As the pigmented area is in healing period, it is likely to form a crust on the healing area. Avoid scratching and removing the crust with excessive use of water and let the wound heal by on its own gradually. DO NOT PEEL, SCRATCH OR EXFOLIATE!

5.    Wear sunglasses, whenever you are out to protect your healing permanent eyeliner from direct sun exposure.

6.    Do not wear contact lenses for at least 24 hours after your permanent eyeliner procedure.

7.    Old and used makeup cosmetics possess higher risk of infection. After your permanent eyeliner is completely healed, start with fresh mascaras and kohl-pencils and eye shades.

8.    Do not use eyelash curlers for 2 weeks after your procedure.

9.    If you were using Emu oil prior permanent makeup procedure, discontinue using it after your procedure as it may cause your pigment color to bleed or migrate.

10.    Do not take hot water baths, steam, and saunas for a week after your procedure.

Permanent Makeup – Things to consider before you do it!

The first thought that comes to my mind for permanent makeup is that it is PERMANENT! Yeah, exactly that can be a little bit scary, but not if you do the proper research and get involved in the process along your beauty artist.

The reason that I have used the word “Beauty Artist” is that consulting a beauty artist before a permanent makeup cosmetologist is a step that you must take, because your beauty artist can guide you perfectly for a number of things, including colors, styles, shape and the area that should be pigmented.

The biggest mistake that almost most people do is that they forget that every pigment exhibits a different color after mixing with the original skin tone. Come on! Have you forgotten the color wheel you studied in high school! For example, a yellowish skin tone will react different with a certain pigment that a white skin tone. Thereby it is very important to plan a prior meeting with your cosmetologist and discuss each and everything, which is bothering you.

Plus, there are different technologies used these days under the umbrella of permanent makeup. For example, semi-permanent makeup, which in my view is a better option. So discuss with your cosmetologist about what kind of latest technologies are there, how are they implemented and which is the better option.

Another thing to consider is the pain factor. Yes when there are many needles being injected in your skin, the pain will be there, so always ask your cosmetologist to give you anesthesia, and be VERY VERY SURE that your cosmetologist is not adding the anesthetic to the ink itself, as that can be very dangerous. If you are going for permanent lip color, be careful with topical anesthetics on the mucosa of the lips.

Ask your cosmetologist to analyze your skin tone and texture and use the pigments accordingly. If possible you can ask them to draw a digital picture of you with permanent makeup, so that you can make sure prior to procedure that nothing scary or ugly is in the grounds for you!

And finally the most important factor above all is finding a well-reputable and experienced cosmetologist. If your cosmetologist is experienced, he will definitely erase half of your troubles with expert advice. Plus you can also ask him to give you contact numbers of his previous clients, so that you can learn from their experiences. Take each step very cautiously as it is the matter of your most important asset!

Permanent Makeup Removal & Your Options!

The option of permanent makeup may look irresistible and mesmerizing, but with permanent makeup comes many other unwelcome things! You may feel very happy with your permanent make up look in the beginning, but as the time changes, and new fashion trends keep coming in, you might become fed up of your same permanent make up look!

Or in worse cases, some women doesn’t find their permanent eyebrows or lips attractive even at the first sight, and immediately after getting permanent makeup on, they want to remove it because of unsatisfactory results. However, removing a permanent make up is not an easy and inexpensive task! There are a number of options for removing permanent makeup, but it’s your duty to consider the best choice, when it is the matter of your beauty!

1.    The most considered option for removing permanent make up is Laser treatment, which is an expensive process and may not completely remove your permanent pigments. Laser removing treatments comes with a number of pros and cons and its own:

•    Laser cannot remove all the permanent pigments. The easiest to remove color pigments are shades of green, black, red and blue.

•    It can cause bleeding, Keloid formation or may leave scars on your skin.

•    It is extremely expensive and doesn’t come with any insurance plan.

2.    Dermabrasion is another option to remove permanent makeup and involves removing the pigmented skin with a wire brush or diamond wheel and allowing a new layer of skin to grow

•    This process can cause scarring

•    After healing the color of the skin turns darker where dermabrasion has been done

•    Deep dermabrasion may leave scars on face.

3.     Salabrasion is another method to remove unwanted tattoos or permanent make up. It involves rubbing the skin harshly with an exfoliator and sea salt, until you are bleeding, and the upper epidermal layers of skin is completely washed off.

•    This process involves extreme pain and bleeding

•    There is a higher risk of infection

•    May leave deep scars for a long period of time.

As risky and dangerous as the above mentioned methods are for permanent make up removal, the better and much safer option is semi-permanent makeup. These days semi-permanent makeup is considered much better option, because it automatically removes the permanent make up after a specific period of time, so that you may not have to face above mentioned deadly processes for removing your unwanted permanent make up.

The Irresistible Charm of Eyeliner

Women and eyeliner are like lovers and chocolate! Inseparable and unbreakable! The relationship that every woman feels with her eyeliner is based on absolute necessity. She may go without mascara, she may even go without lipstick, but she would never feel comfortable without her dear eyeliner!

These days’ permanent eyeliner procedure is the hottest topic of discussion between women, as they talk about its unavoidable temptation and the dreams of waking up beautifully, along with dangerous risks involved in the permanent eyeliner process.

Talking about the risks that are involved in the process, then I must say there would be a 0% chance of risks, if you do your research properly, find an experienced well-known cosmetologist, not your local tattoo artist, and follow the after-care instructions properly, you can successfully enjoy the charm of dazzling dark and killer eyes, without you doing the effort everyday!

Also, many women worry about the fact that the procedure will happen close to the eye area, which is very sensitive and might take a lot of time for healing. But let me clear the fact, permanent makeup across eye area is much easier to heal then permanent makeup across lip area. But make sure your beauty artist is using all the sterilized and disposable equipments to stay safe from this risk of getting infection and other disease.

In addition, if you want more safety and latest fashion trends are your top priority, then you can go for semi-permanent eyeliner, as it is the most advance technology and is much safer. After three years, your semi-permanent eyeliner will remove automatically revealing your natural eyes, so you can consider changing the style of your eyeliner and remain up to date!

Above all, the best part about permanent eyeliner is that at least you won’t have the trouble to apply your eyeliner daily in the morning or in hurry, because you will have already beautiful eyes for three full years! All you’ll have to do it to glam them up with a little color and mascara, and there you go, all the way! Dazzling and beautiful!

Secret to Dazzlingly Clear Skin

A flawlessly clean skin is a blessing and which cannot be achieved by using different high-end beauty cosmetics! Yes you can pretend the magic of flawless skin using makeup cosmetics, but what about when you wake up in the morning, or wash your face before going to bed, the magic will be gone!

We can cure acne or pimples with acne products, but we cannot bring that youthful baby like skin glowing with a creamy soft texture, and that’s true. However, one thing can do it. No, I am not talking about laser treatments; they are harsh on skin and may bring bad results. I am talking about permanent make up.

Yes permanent makeup is not only about creating eyebrows, eyelids or lips, in the latest semi permanent makeup technology; there is a revolutionary new introduction for scar camouflage technique, which can literally camouflage all of your facial scars, blemishes and any ugly looking marks.

Semi permanent makeup technology is preferred more these days as compared to permanent make up because it is much safer and advance technique that uses mineral pigments to vibrate into the derma layer of skin. Mineral pigments are completely natural and do not possess the harm of any toxic substance, thereby they are much safe to use on sensitive facial skin.

Scar Camouflage technique requires extensive experience and cannot be done by any local cosmetologist. For this technique your cosmetologist will first analyze your skin tone and texture to use the most matched mineral pigments with your skin and will then carefully camouflage any ugly looking flaw to give you a perfectly looking skin for three years.

Moreover, mineral semi permanent makeup will not leave your skin dull and wrinkled after the permanent make up has faded to a completely natural look. Also, the process is less painful and requires no extensive time for healing. So stop spending money on expensive products, which do nothing to make your skin squeaky clean, and adopt the tech-licious way to perk up your beauty!

Bad Permanent Makeup! Is it your fault or Cosmetologist’s?

I have seen many women, who in their beauty frenzy, made hasty not-so-smart decision and got permanent eyebrows from their local cosmetologist or tattoo artist, and the results were horrifying, completely dreadful!

Similarly, you will find a number of women crying and yelling about their permanent makeup eyebrows decision, and even degrading the art, which has given a beautiful life to so many out there. After reading those reviews online, I have developed a really bad image about permanent makeup or permanent eyebrows artists/cosmetologists, thinking that they have ruined the lives of many people.

On the other hand, I have also seen women enjoying their perfectly created permanent eyebrows, and when they are asked to describe their experience, they come up with nothing negative at all about the procedure.

The question that really arises over here is, that is it the fault of these women or the cosmetologists that results in bad permanent eyebrows. I would say that it really is the fault of clients, who without doing proper research and homework, grab any cheap non-experienced cosmetologist - or in the worst case scenario, tattoo artists, and get their work done, on instinct basis! These are the clients, which are never satisfied with the results, and keep on yelling and degrading the art of permanent makeup!

On the other hand, the clients, who were smart enough to do a proper research on finding an experienced cosmetologist, a research on what style of permanent eyebrows will look good on them, and were alert enough to make sure the equipment and the pigments being used upon them are fully safe and sterilized, really seemed to be happy with the results.

Take the smart decisions and always do proper research needed before taking any kind of step for your beauty! Whether your mistake is as small as grabbing a wrong product for your skin type or as big as getting permanent eyebrows done without research, it has the potential to kill your beauty forever!

Save Yourself From the Trouble of Everyday Makeup!

I never understood the importance of eyebrows, until one day, I darken my eyebrows accidently just out of a momentarily wish, and I realized for the very first time, how important role eyebrows play in framing your shape and accentuating your features.

And from that day onwards, I started to literally fill my eyebrows every morning to create a darker thicker bold British look! But the only frustration I felt every day was about worrying if my thicker eyebrows may fade or smudge during the course of the day. Well, I am sure every woman feels the same, who is even a tiny bit concerned about her eyebrows.

And then a friend of mine told me about semi permanent makeup eyebrows! At first I was scared about the permanent nature of my eyebrows and the changing trends, and then I realize that for eyebrows, you never really have to go what the hottest trends say! Because eyebrows are something that never work equally for every face, as every face demands a different eyebrow shape and hence the option of semi permanent eyebrows can prove to be one of the best things you could do to enhance your beauty.

Plus, having semi permanent makeup eyebrows is something different from permanent eyebrows. Semi permanent eyebrows will fade away automatically without any laser involvement after three years, so you can consider changing your eyebrow shape according to your aging facial features.

Semi permanent makeup eyebrows procedure is an entirely latest technique, which cannot be done by your local tattoo maker, so make sure you find an experienced and well-known cosmetologist for this procedure.

Despite reading all those risks involved, I did an extensive research and after two months of my research and findings, I dared to change my look with semi permanent eyebrows! Just as I was expecting, when I looked at the mirror, I found a totally new face with defined features and a more symmetrical face!

Permanent eyebrows have excluded the half of my daily makeup effort, because creating perfect eyebrows every morning was really a tough job for a normal working woman like me. I am enjoying my new look and would definitely suggest the same procedure, who are facing troubles to carry out their daily make up regime everyday!

1.    Oh! It takes an annoying amount of time!

I just hate the amount of time I take to apply eyeliner, and when I have to apply it in a hurry, oh don’t ask the troubles it gives to my shaking hands! If I had to minus just my eyeliner from my morning makeup regime, the rest would take just about five minutes, and it’s always this eyeliner, which takes the most of morning time.

2.    Uneven Eyeliner

I have never felt a pinch of satisfaction with the way I apply my eyeliner. It always seems uneven to me, I don’t know why I am unable to draw the exact same line on both eyes. And I hate when it goes like this: applying-removing-applying-removing! Ah 10 minutes passed! Forget it!

3.    How killingly important it is for me!

4.    I hate it when it smudges!

I have never liked to use a liquid eyeliner for a daily basis, because it adds the drama, which is suitable for rare occasions only, but for my everyday wear, I use my jet black DMGM eyeliner pencil, though it is waterproof, but I hate when it smudges at the end of the day, making me look like a worn-out witch!

5.    I have to miss it when I wake up!

Wake up with Dazzling Beauty Every Morning!

Almost every girl, including me dreams of waking up dazzlingly along the sleeping body of their boyfriend! When it comes to morning, an overtly done makeup looks off, and the key to steal your boyfriend’s heart is with naturally glowing sleeping beauty!

I remember the scene from “The Proposal” when Sandra Bullock did little morning makeup touchups quickly after waking up, but the question, “Are you wearing Makeup” did made her embarrassed a bit! However, as true as it may seem, every girl does this thing secretly, because it seems so great when your lover praises your delicate beauty, the first thing in the morning!

But true as they may be, these morning touch ups are always irritating, when the secret is exposed! All your oh-so-girlish efforts go down the drain, if your boyfriend catches you! However, one thing that can save you from the heck of getting ready in the early mornings is permanent make up!

I know you have read about its oh-so-horrible risks, but trust me the chances of risks are 0%, if you do the task smartly enough. I was one of those women, who are horridly afraid of permanent makeup procedure, but after an extensive research and consulting with an experienced cosmetologist, who is specialized in semi-permanent makeup technique, I must say, I took the right decision!

I think semi-permanent makeup procedure is the newest in this technology and doesn’t even cause much pain and scarring. I went for permanent make up eyebrows, lash line and eyelids, and after that, there is not a single day I felt the need to touch my eyes for anything to put on! It feels great when I wake up in the morning with perfect dazzling beautiful eyes and get ready for office with five minutes!

Moreover, semi-permanent makeup is great for people who have Vitiligo or Alopecia to live a beautiful and normal life, but normal people, especially women like me and you can enjoy the extra benefits no doubt, but remember the key to have a successful permanent makeup is to get it done by some experienced cosmetologist, not your local tattoo artist!

Permanent Eyebrows! I Am Glad I Did It!

I have always fidgeted on the concept of permanent eyebrows, because of the great risks; I’ve read everywhere online and bad permanent eyebrows stories. Although I naturally have very thin and light eyebrows, yet I didn’t have the courage to go for permanent eyebrows until one day!

One day when one of my colleagues got her eyebrows done, it was the moment, when I had to change my mind, because she looked incredibly new and fresh with just a hint of new darker permanent eyebrows. Actually it was not permanent eyebrows procedure she went for; it was semi-permanent eyebrows procedure, which looked incredibly natural and beautiful.

As I went to my dermatologist, she suggested me a 3 times course process for permanent eyebrows and eyelids, starting from very light permanent eyebrows, and then moving on to darker and thicker ones, as per choice. So I was relaxed about not looking like a vampire with bushy eyebrows!

As I went for my first permanent eyebrows appointment, she made very soft looking eyebrows, which looked great and immensely built up my confidence for a second trip, which again resulted in even better looking eyebrows.

I love the fact that I don’t have to make up my eyebrows now every morning, and feel like I have naturally beautiful eyebrows. But as crazy as I have become about permanent eyebrows, I am looking forward to bring in more drama with my third time appointment. I am really looking forward to rock Lily Collins kind of eyebrows now!

And I must say the semi-permanent eyebrows technique is just flawless, and creates a naturally beautifully look with natural pigments, but too bad, my eyebrows will fade away completely after three years, but great in a sense that after three years, I might consider some other eyebrow styles to rock on!

All my life I have enjoyed light natural brows. My friends, who had heavy eyebrows, used to tame them with waxing, tweezing or threading, but I never did, as my eyebrows are naturally very light and clean looking.

As I grew up, I heard about permanent makeup eyebrows, and the lengths that people go to make their eyebrows appear permanently well-shapes and beautiful and dark. Well, I considered them jerks, as I myself had never any problem with my natural eyebrows, until one day!

That one day, when I saw “Mirror Mirror”, and was mesmerized by Lily Collins natural beauty. At first I didn’t realize, it’s her dark shapely framed eyebrows, making her appear this much beautiful. But as I did a little research on her beauty, I was thrilled with this fact, that one features that makes her look super feminine and expressive is her raven bold eyebrows.

And that was the day, when I realized the importance of eyebrows in looking beautiful. I pick a brow pencil and colored my eyebrows a bit darker and thicker for the very first time, and I couldn’t believe the beautiful woman standing in the mirror is me! Yes, me with my new dark bold eyebrows, as I color them now every day!

However, this one discovery has exceeded my morning makeup regime to a considerable period of time, which is not a suitable option for a working woman like me, and I am beginning to realize why people, especially women have gone so bananas for permanent makeup eyebrows procedure, as this really helps them lift up their beauty sans effort every morning!

And now I am the latest addition to the roster of people considering permanent makeup eyebrows as it is the best option to enhance their facial features, but I am not foolish enough to do it without any research. Plus, I have heard semi-permanent makeup eyebrows procedure is considered the hottest in this technique, and I am definitely and completely thinking to get it done!

Can Permanent Eyebrows Satisfy Your Fashion Needs

Having permanent eyebrows is one thing fashion conscious women have gone bananas for! But the question is, do they really help you satisfy your fashion-licious needs and keep you up to date with all the latest trends and styles? Well they answer may be NO, because of the fact that they are permanent, and no fashion conscious women like the permanent factor in their style!

Fashion changes and so do the styles and trends, if we talk about eyebrows and fashion, then eyebrows have seen tremendous changes through the decades. Let’s explore the popular eyebrows styles of different decades!

1920’s

In older times, straight and thin eyebrows were more popular giving a weird pensive look, yet it was the hottest thing in style.

1930’s

In 1930’s popular eyebrow styles were of thin high arched, giving a surprised look.

1940’s

With the passage of time, eyebrow stylists started to shape eyebrows a bit more normally. The thickness level increased to medium thickness and it created a more natural look.

1950’s

In 1950’s eyebrows were more thickened and darkened, but the arch in the middle slightly became more sharp and visible.

1960’s

1960’s saw a strange change in eyebrow style. Eyebrows were all shaved off, with individual hair stokes created with brow pencil. Only the beginning of eyebrow was a bit thicker than the rest.

1970’s

1970’s was the era of tadpole eyebrows. Eyebrows which are normal except than the big round ball at the beginning of the brows.

1980’s

1980’s eyebrows became more thick, bushy and bold, thanks to the trends, cleaning them up was never a big task back then.

1990’s

As the 90’s started, eyebrows took a more natural turn, only creating a medium thickness brow in the natural brow pattern become more trendy in this era.

Today’s eyebrows

After the 2012 fashion weeks, the hottest eyebrow style that has come at the forefront is thick bold eyebrows, like the 80’s.

With such a variation in eyebrows styles and trends, would you consider giving a permanent shape to your eyebrows with permanent eyebrows procedure? Well, if you are so unlucky to consider this option, then go for semi-permanent eyebrows procedure, which is the latest in this technology. It will create your permanent eyebrows only for 3 years, with no down time, and after that your eyebrows will naturally come back to your original shape, so you can consider other options according to new trends and fashion.

5 things I Hate about Permanent Cosmetics

Oh the dreams of skin as white as snow and lips as red as rose may persuade many women to go for permanent cosmetics, but just as every rose has thorn, permanent cosmetics do have NO-NO factors, which makes them a really dangerous decision!

The five things I hate about permanent cosmetics procedure is not only about my choice, it’s about every single woman, who dreams of dazzling beauty. Let’s explore what they are, and how to find a best alternative.

1.    The Permanent Factor

Permanent makeup is PERMANENT, and this is what makes it least appealing of all! What if you want to change style, what if you don’t like your permanent makeup anymore! Well, considering a laser removing is a wrong option, as it may leave you with ugly looking scars.

2.    The Pain

Ah the pain of needle going into your skin and injecting pigments. Let me tell you, the pain is mind numbing and will leave your delicate skin swollen and wounded for a couple of days.

3.    The Risk Involved

I may bear the pain, forget the permanent factor, but I can never neglect the risk factors associated with permanent cosmetics. According to research, needles that are used for permanent makeup may contain toxic chemicals, which may result in deadly disease like skin cancer. Or the chemical laden pigments, which are used in this procedure, may not form a friendly bong with your body. Sometimes skin perceives these pigments as foreign objects and fights to keep them away, which may result in Keloid formation or scars.

4.    The Dreadful Possibility of Uneven Eyebrows

I have seen many women, crying and screaming on internet forums on their stupidity to go for permanent cosmetics, which resulted in extremely unattractive looking uneven, thick or too dark eyebrows. And the fact that they are permanent! God! You will want to kill yourself, if anything goes wrong.

5.    The After Effects

The permanent cosmetics care just doesn’t end on the day of your appointment, it actually starts there. You will have to take care of a lot of things, to keep your pigments from changing color or fading. Sometimes your black may turn blue or your red may turn brown due to oxidization process, which is again an unwelcoming thing.

The Best Alternative

Still if you want something to uplift your beauty, then I would recommend you to go for semi-permanent makeup, the latest in this technology. Semi-permanent makeup fades away completely after three years with no down time. Plus, it is a pain-free process that delicately perks up your beauty with mineral pigments.

Permanent Makeup After-Care Tips

Having a permanent makeup procedure is very painful. You may find swelling, irritation or burning in your eyebrows, eyes, lips or whatever area has been treated, a week or two after the procedure. It is similar to a skin wound, which needs care and medications to heal quickly and effectively.

If you have just come from your dermatologist after your beauty enhancing permanent makeup procedure, these may be the teeny weenie tips you need to know until your body parts are completely healed and ready to shine:

•    You might feel the burning sensations on your brows, lips or eyes, but don’t give in to the temptation of running to the freezer and place wet chill ice cubes, as they may damage the cells. The best way to cool your burning is to softly cool the skin with dry cold pack a few times. But don’t overdo it.

•    Keep the area covered all the time with healing ointment. You can use your favorite vitamin-enriched healing ointments.

•    Take complete bed rest for at least 2 days after the procedure as rest will increase healing process.

•    Do not touch, tease, scratch or scrub the pigmented area, as it may result in serious complications. Fight any temptation to do so and wait patiently for the pigmented area to peel off

•    Do not expose the area to a full pressure shower, before taking a shower, apply a thick layer of Vaseline and then take a bath.

•    Sleep straight for the first couple of days, as any touch of the pigmented area with the pillow might cause delay in healing.

•    Stay away from direct sun exposure or using any sun block cream for the first couple of days.

The full healing of the permanent makeup procedure takes about 2 months time. Within this time period stay away from swimming in chlorinated water, or using any anti-aging product. After two months, visit your dermatologist if any touch up is needed. Your permanent makeup color will fade to look natural after this time period, so you are ready to rock the world with dazzling beauty.

The Impact & Importance of Eyebrows on Facial Features

The eyebrows play an important role in harmonizing as well as breaking the beautiful integration of facial features into the laws of aesthetics. Many women land themselves into serious troubles by simply going to the nearest tattoo shop and have a permanent makeup eyebrows tattoo, which may or may not look flattering on them.

Considering a permanent makeup eyebrows tattoo on your face is a real big task, and needs a lot of homework to be done by the client as well as beauty artist for achieving a super flawless look. Before you book your appointment for permanent eyebrows, consider the following facts and tips, and try them personally on your face with a simple eyebrow pencil, in order to ensure, which eyebrows shape will look perfect on you.

•    The basic rule of creating permanent makeup eyebrows is to harmonize and balance the shape of your face. I.e. if you have an angular face, smoothen up the look with soft rounded eyebrows, or perk up your soft rounded face with angular eyebrows.

•    Eyebrow lines can guide the eyes to shorten, lengthen or widen your facial appearance.

•    Flat eyebrows direct the eyes in sideways, giving an impression of wide face. So if you have too long face, you can give it some width with flat eyebrows.

•    High angles eyebrows direct the eyes up and down, creating an impression on long face, so if you have a face too small, you can give it some length with higher eyebrows.

•    Eyebrows with defined peaks overwhelm other features of your face while putting the spotlight on your eyes only.

Before you head out for your dermatologist, try creating these looks on your face and observe what looks best on you. You can also give a visit to your nearest beauty parlor and ask your beautician to create different looks with brow pencil, before your permanent makeup eyebrows, in order to fully satisfy yourself. Because you don’t want to end up with having an unflattering pair of permanent eyebrows! Do you?

Fed up of Uneven Eyebrows? Think Permanent Eyebrows!

Many women are born with uneven eyebrows, or some experience uneven brows in the process of growing up, as you are faced with stress and fatigue, your eyebrow muscles may start to appear unevenly placed, causing a differentiation in both sides of the face.

So do you spend hours and hours in front of the mirror, balancing your eyebrow shape? If yes, then having a permanent eyebrows procedure is one good long term solution for you. Uneven eyebrows generally happen because one side of the face is dominant than the other, or may be the side you mostly sleep on tends to sag downwards earlier before the other side.

Sometimes in the process of creating even eyebrows, we don’t realize that our muscles were tense, and as we relax our muscles, eyebrows become uneven again. Similarly, if eyebrows are created even, when the muscles were relaxed, they will become uneven, as we tense the muscles. This is exactly the case, which happens to people who go for permanent eyebrows and ends up having two uneven looking permanent eyebrows.

The time when your beauty artist was creating your eyebrows, your muscles were tense, your eyebrows looked even with tense muscles, but soon after the procedure, when you relaxed your muscles, your eyebrows started to look uneven.

To enjoy a perfect pair of even eyebrows, you will have to do a little homework, before your appointment with the cosmetologist. If you raise your eyebrows or tense your eyebrow muscles occasionally, you should draw perfect looking brows, while keeping your muscles fully relaxed to get a perfect look. If you keep one single brow raised almost all the time, you should draw slightly lower eyebrow of the raised side to create harmony. Do it hours before your appointment with your beauty artist, so you can have plenty of time to satisfy yourself.

At the time of permanent eyebrows procedure, the best way is to keep your eyes downward and head straight in order to fully relax your muscles. Don’t close your eyes as it will tense your forehead muscles and may result in uneven permanent eyebrows. Learn how to relax your forehead muscles completely before your appointment with the cosmetologist and enjoy an even looking perfect pair of eyebrows with permanent makeup technique.

Lift up Your Aging Face with Eyebrows!

The main reason, why I stop people from considering having permanent makeup eyebrows is that they are PERMANENT, and as the natural facial features will age, those permanent makeup eyebrows will exaggerate any signs of aging, rather than hiding them.

Imagine two ugly looking de-shaped eyebrows, as you reach your 70s! You won’t even be able to get a face lift, because your permanent eyebrows might get too high arched in the procedure, making you look entirely worse. So what is the best way to enjoy a youthful facelift with brows?

The best way is to go for semi-permanent makeup eyebrows. They are similar to permanent eyebrows, only the difference is that they automatically fade away completely after three years with no down time. Thereby, with semi-permanent eyebrows, you can enjoy double benefits! Firstly, no more everyday eyebrow creating hassles, and secondly, no more worries about your old age.

Semi-permanent eyebrows are the best choice for fashion conscious people, as the trends change, they can enjoy the change in their eyebrow shape after three years, and secondly as they will grow old, they can freely go for forehead lifting surgery, without any fear of de-shaping their eyebrows.

In addition to that, eyebrow shapes themselves have a great impact in hiding the old age, and giving a youthful appearance to face. So when you feel like your eyebrows are coming down, you can have a facelift with semi-permanent makeup eyebrows.

So make your decision wisely, when it comes to eyebrows, because they make the major architect of your face. Any flaw in the making of permanent makeup eyebrows can ruin the entire look and personality of your face! Do you want to live with someone else’s mistakes for good? A big NO – NO! So why take the risks when it is the matter of your most important asset, your beauty!

Many women in their effort to look beautiful think about getting a permanent makeup, without realizing the problems and after effects that they will have to face after permanent makeup procedure.

According to Dr. Toombs of American Academy of Dermatology, “The most common problem that develops with permanent makeup is the desire to remove it. Removing tattoos and permanent makeup can be very difficult.”

While instantly after your appointment with dermatologist, you may happily welcome the new look, but as the years will pass, and your facial features will change in time, the permanent makeup tattoos, rather than hiding your wrinkles will even more exaggerate your wrinkles and changing facial features.

As square face women have defined strong jaw line, they can align the peak of their brow with the wildest angle of the jaw to create a perfectly harmonized look.

Round Face

For round faced women, an arched eyebrow is the best option to create a more oval look. The high peak in your brow will give your face an elongated look. To give an image to your imagination, try searching the pictures of celebrities with round face like Fergie and Emma Watson.

Long Face

Women with long face should go for flat straight permanent eyebrows, with a slightly low arch, as it will help them open up their face sideways, creating an impression of oval features.  Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Jenny McCarthy have long face, you can try getting help from their photos.

Heart-Shaped Face

A perfect round arch is the best option for women with heart-shaped face, as it helps to soften up the pointed chin impression.

Oval Face

Oval faced women are the luckiest of all, as they can manage almost all kinds of eyebrow shapes. However, try not to go for flat or high arched permanent makeup eyebrows, and only go for soft round natural looking eyebrows for a flawless look.

Think Before You Ink Permanent Cosmetics!

The thought of getting lips as red as rose and skin as white as snow forever is a dream come true for almost every woman, but the reality may not exactly match your beautiful dreams. Permanent cosmetics can do that, but the results and side effects are not always welcomed.

The biggest drawback of permanent makeup is that it is PERMANENT! And there are always some drawbacks of permanent things! Take Twilight’s Cullen Vampires for example, don’t you get fed up with startling perfection they exhibit, all the time!

Moreover, removing permanent makeup is hell of a trouble, as it is more painful and can leave permanent scars on your skin.

It is the latest in this technology, which uses premium quality and natural mineral pigments to give your face a little color. And what makes it the better choice then permanent cosmetics is that semi-permanent cosmetics fade automatically after three years to a completely natural look, so that you may reconsider your options again!

Would You Consider Risking Your Beauty for Permanent Makeup?

Permanent Makeup is the new craze that has taken people all over the internet in the alluring strands of its colorful pigments. Why am I calling it ‘Craze’ is because it has spell bounded people to take their beauty rather stupidly, and why am I saying it ‘Alluring’ is that it certainly is alluring.

The so-called galleries, which the permanent makeup beauty artist so proudly exhibit on the internet is not a guaranteed reality, nor can you risk your face on some fake online proofs, the way people are doing these days.

Well, coming to a softer tone, permanent makeup does do the magic to those lucky ones, who consider doing lots of research online as well as offline before making the decision, or even choosing their cosmetologist, but on the opposite end, permanent makeup has ruined the lives of people for good, who were not smart enough to make the wise decision.

According to some reports, permanent makeup involves needles, which may not be considered good for health, because of many toxic chemicals applied on them. Plus you never know, if your beauty artist is using new needles on you. Some people have experienced swelling, cracking, peeling, blistering, scarring and even formation of Granulomas or Keloid scars after going through permanent makeup process.

This is because some time the human body perceives chemical laden pigments, which are injected into the skin, as foreign objects, and fights to keep them away from entering into our skin. This is our body’s natural protection mechanism, and hence may cause allergies or some serious health issue because of those pigments. Permanent makeup reacts differently with different skins, and you never know how it will react with yours.

The basic aim of this article is to educate people, who throw their lives into serious troubles, about the pros and cons of permanent makeup. If you are one of those people, considering a permanent makeup option, re-consider your decisions and do all the research that you can on finding a trusted cosmetologist, and remain involved in all the steps of this process. The best bet would be to go for semi-permanent makeup first, as it is more reliable and healthy for your skin.

I am not totally against this permanent makeup thing; I am only smart enough to educate you on what is right and wrong for your dear skin! The decision is up to you, would you bear every day makeup troubles, which may only cost a little time of you and nothing more, or would you consider risking your beauty with permanent makeup?
