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!
