You’ve no doubt spent countless hours a week – and several hundreds of dollars a year – on makeup so that you can look and feel your best. When you stop and think about it, the time and money spent on makeup is extensive, and actually unnecessary when you consider the alternative – permanent makeup. Here’s a look at your options when it comes to permanent makeup, and how this can benefit you.
What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is also known as intradermal pigmentation, cosmetic tattooing, or micro pigmentation. It involves a qualified technician injecting natural pigments into the dermal layer of the skin to enhance facial features and mitigate the need for daily makeup application. It can also be used to cover blemishes and other skin conditions such as vitiligo or hyperpigmentation.
What Are The Benefits of Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is not as costly, uncomfortable, or uncommon as you might think. In fact, many people are turning to permanent makeup as a practical solution for achieving those desired results.
Convenience
If you have a busy lifestyle and find you’re waking up earlier and earlier to get ready for the day, or have to constantly reapply makeup throughout the day and evening, then you might want to consider permanent makeup as a solution. It’s a very convenient option that saves you hours a week, is hassle-free, and makes life that much simpler. If you suffer from arthritis or anything else that impacts your ability to apply makeup, then permanent makeup is a great option.
No smudges
If you’re an active person, are involved in water-based activities, or live in a region with high humidity, then a permanent makeup solution is a valuable investment. There is no worry about makeup smudges as a result of sweating, humidity, or splashes, so you can remain active without concern.
Corrective
If you suffer from a skin pigmentation disorder such as vitiligo, or a hair loss condition such as alopecia, then permanent makeup can be used to camouflage affected areas and help you achieve a more natural look. There is no need for expensive and invasive surgery, permanent makeup can reconstruct areas, be used for scar camouflage, and create the appearance of natural hair where needed.
Feature enhancement
The reason most people wear makeup is to enhance natural facial features such as eyebrows, eyelashes, lips, cheekbones, and more. With permanent makeup, you’re achieving constant feature enhancement that looks entirely natural. You can even choose to add more makeup to your permanent makeup if you’re looking to achieve something a bit different for your evening or day look.
Confidence boost
With permanent makeup, you know that you can walk out the door, any time of day or night, and look good! It’s a massive confidence boost knowing that you’re always looking your best without having to check a mirror. If you’ve struggled with imbalances, blemishes, or other imperfections, then permanent makeup will be a real confidence boost for you.
Achieve symmetry
Research into perceived beauty has shown that symmetry in facial features is more desirable than not, but often we have issues that impact this symmetry. It could be irregular eyebrow shapes, or even asymmetry in the eyes or lips that creates some self-esteem issues. By applying permanent makeup, you’re able to achieve that symmetry in your facial features.
Long-lasting results
Permanent makeup might not be exactly permanent – rather semi-permanent makeup – but it is long-lasting, and once it’s been done, you generally only need touch-ups every few years to keep that look. This is great news for those who travel frequently, who have very busy lifestyles, or who participate in sports on a regular basis. It must be noted that the longevity of the results will vary depending on your skin type, sun exposure, and other factors.
No allergy issues
A major hindrance for many people with sensitive skin is that certain makeup types result in allergies. If you’re someone who can’t wear traditional makeup because of skin sensitivities such as red or watery eyes, dryness, and rashes, then you might want to try permanent makeup. The pigmentation used in permanent makeup doesn’t contain the same allergens as traditional makeup, making it better for certain skin sensitivities.
