How long do you spend putting on your makeup in the morning? How often do you find yourself touching up your brows or fixing your eyeliner? Wouldn’t it be great just always to have perfect, permanent makeup applied? With modern permanent makeup, that could easily be a reality. You have probably heard of microblading but using similar techniques; permanent makeup can be used to enhance several areas of the face.

Permanent makeup, also known as permanent cosmetics or micropigmentation, is ink or pigment typically used to give the look of everyday cosmetics—most often eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, or lip color. Like tattoos, the ink is placed deep in the skin, making it permanent. It generally lasts three to five years but can last longer as well.

Makeup can get time-consuming and annoying. Whichever formula you choose, there will always be days when it simply refuses to cooperate. If you don’t have a perfectly steady hand, it can be a nightmare. Permanent eyeliner, lips or brows is a great replacement.

Permanent makeup will never smudge. It will soldier through allergy season untouched.

Also great for anyone who exercises on a regular basis, or lives in an area with a humid climate.

It can be worn on its own for everyday activities or to the office, or upgraded with some regular makeup for special occasions.

You can’t just take it off when you don’t feel like wearing it.
