BENEFITS OF PERMANENT MAKEUP

Wake up with makeup. No dealing with eyeliner application, which has the drawbacks of requiring a very steady hand, and even with that, pencil eyeliner pulls at the sensitive eye tissues, as mentioned above. Additionally, since you live in a  warm climate and may participate in sports, or if you like to swim, you don’t have to worry that your makeup has washed off, or dripped down in your eyes, creating “raccoon eyes”.

The benefits of permanent makeup aren’t so much the financial aspects of this as a money-saving method, but the sheer convenience of not having to put makeup on every day. If you have poor eyesight, applying makeup can be a problem; the older you get the more difficult it is, if you hands shake at all or if you have poor sight. Anybody with any kind of problem in that area would benefit from permanent makeup.

DRAWBACKS OF PERMANENT MAKEUP

Many clients don’t realize this, but even permanent makeup fades over time. How long does it lasts? Technically, because it’s applied under the skin, it lasts forever but it fades over time, so you will need a touch-up every 12-18 mos. Cheek blush in particular is applied so lightly that in a year you can hardly see it. Skin is alive and keeps exfoliating over time, so it doesn’t last like a tattoo (even tattoos fade after years of exposure to the sun, soap and skin turnover), and the face exfoliates faster than other parts of your body due to use of exfoliating products, creams, and treatments such as dermabrasion, etc. Having said that, pigments have come light-years from where they were years ago in terms of permanence.

Interesting caveat: There is no FDA approval on pigments! One pigment firm created a pigment that caused granulomas in clients about a year after insertion. These were taken off the market. However, if we have not performed the initial work on clients who see us for touch-ups, and/or you had permanent makeup done in the early 90s, we’d want to be certain that you were not treated with the granuloma-producing pigment.
