Permanent eyebrows, eye liner and lipstick can be achieved through derma pigmentation, or cosmetic tattooing.
If you are interested in permanent makeup, many salons and tattoo parlors, as well as specialized permanent makeup artists, offer the service.
What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is essentially just a tattoo. As such, the ink used is subject to FDA regulation and a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist can apply it.
Regulations are different for different areas, and if you are interested in getting permanent makeup or permanent eyebrows, you should do some research before getting it done.
Although it is called permanent, a tattoo can fade so sometimes touch-ups are required to keep your permanent eyebrows and makeup looking their best.
Pros
Permanent lipstick and eyeliner can be incredibly convenient since they don't require application in the morning and retouching throughout the day. It can shave quite a bit of time off any woman's morning routine.
If you have lighter hair on your eyebrows and are looking for definition, having a darker color permanently etched onto your skin will save you from the hassle of using a shading pencil every day. Permanent eyebrows also means no retouching as the day goes on.
If you have suffered hair loss and the hair on your eyebrows has thinned or is permanently gone, permanent eyebrows tattooed on can give you a bit of a confidence boost.
And, just as in more superficial applications, it saves you from having to apply and reapply every day.
Cons
Popular styles change as time goes by, and that includes everything from lip color, eyeliner shades and the shapes and thickness of eyebrows.
In the early 1980s, fuchsia lipstick and thick eyebrows like Brooke Shield's were in vogue, and in the early 1990s matte red lipstick and pencil thin eyebrows like Gwen Stefani's were in style.
Having blue eyeliner or a coral shade permanently tattooed on your skin can become incredibly limiting and start to look very dated.
While you can always color over the shades you have permanently applied, it ends up defeating the purpose of having permanent makeup.
Over the years, everything from thickness and length to arches and curves of eyebrows have changed.
Granted, a lot of women never bother changing the style of their brows, but if you are someone who likes to move with the times when it comes to your hair and makeup, limiting yourself to one style may eventually become a frustration.
Permanent Eyebrows
Unlike lipstick and eyeliner, permanent eyebrows can be done in two very different ways.
For someone who suffers from alopecia or who has lost their hair for any other medical reason, they can get a realistic looking brow by having the cosmetologist use hairline strokes to mimic real hair. While it will never look complete real, it does give a realistic effect.
If you are just looking for a cosmetic enhancement to your brows, you can have your esthetician do a powdery fill of permanent eyebrows that will look more like a brow pencil looks behind your natural hair.
