5 reasons you should make the investment
Permanent makeup can seem like a major
commitment. However, many women
find the benefits greatly outweigh any
potential risks. Additionally, risks such as
unevenness, wrong color, and poor shaping are
greatly minimized when a client takes the time
to find a skilled technician with an outstanding
portfolio as well as several reliable references.
Here are five reasons to hang up your cosmetic
brushes for good.
1. time saving
How long does it take you to apply your cosmetics
every morning? For most women fifteen minutes
would be the bare minimum, with additional
time required for a night on the town. It can be
a hassle for busy women, especially as they age
and more time is required to achieve the same
effects. Permanent makeup can greatly reduce
the amount of time you spend in front of mirror
every morning, and you’ll feel more confident
rushing to the store or around the corner without
having to put on a full face, or tote around a purse
filled with lipstick.
2. correction
Not every woman has full and dark eyebrows,
smooth lips, and flawless skin. While many
women like to play with cosmetics and enjoy
the ability to change eye shadow or lip shape on
a whim, there are some areas that they would
prefer to be permanently altered. Eyebrows,
for example, can become sparse and thin due
to genetics, medication, disease or ageing,
which will mean they must be drawn on every
day. A classic arch can provide an easy base
to apply powder and create a more naturallooking
brow. Permanent makeup can also help
camouflage flaws such as a crooked lip line,
uneven pigmentation, and some scarring.
3. long-lasting
The average woman will reapply her lipstick
several times a day. Rain, humidity, or a dip in the
pool will result in smeared eyeliner. Permanent
makeup won’t rub, smudge, or budge. It will fade,
generally in two to three years. But compare one
touch up every three years to one every hour.
4. youthful
Cosmetics can help highlight a woman’s best
facial features and make her appear much
more youthful and energized. Lip tattooing, for
example, can create the illusion of fuller and
smoother lips without the need for expensive
plastic surgery. Eyeliner opens up the eyes,
drawing attention away from hallowed or sagging
areas and perking up the entire brow area.
5. confidence
If your appearance has changed due to disease,
genetic disorder, accident, sun damage, or
just general ageing, permanent makeup can
restore your confidence. Women who have lost
eyebrow hair, eyelashes, or pigmentation may
feel less feminine and that their appearance
has been compromised. Cosmetic tattooing can
increase a person’s overall body image, and that
can translate into several aspects of daily life
including work and personal relations.
If you’re unhappy with your results immediately
following application, it is important to
remember that the initial appearance will fade
fairly quickly over the first few months and
become significantly less dramatic. If the color
is too light, touch ups are recommended to
gradually deepen pigments.
