Permanent Makeup – Yes or Nay.

It’s been a somewhat fast week, I can hardly believe it’s almost weekend, I trust things are turning out just fine.

I went visiting my Mom on Sunday,we were having a great time chatting when she suddenly asked me where she can get permanent makeup done. I was so stunned!!! My mom happens to be over 60 years old and I don’t know where she got the idea from.

I probed further to find out what prompted the sudden need for permanent makeup, her reasons were that she hardly has time to apply makeup and even when she applies, it doesn’t turn out as perfect as how I usually apply on her face.

This conversation prompted me to share my opinion on permanent Makeup and the perks that have caused a 60 year old woman to think along those lines.

Permanent Makeup is like tattooing a body part, it’s a process where you inject pigments into the deep layer of the skin and the outer layer is often shed after which it renews itself from time to time.

The enhancement is usually done on body features such as eyebrows, eyeliner (Bottom and Top) lip liner, lip stain, beauty mark and skin camouflage.

There are several reasons why people want to do permanent makeup some of which are because it saves time and you wake up with a well made-up face daily. It also works perfectly for those who are physically challenged and incapable of applying makeup.

Permanent makeup is a great solution for a makeup novice, there is no mistake whatsoever. It is just great for people with oily skin (no smudging), doesn’t require retouching and of course doesn’t fade easily.

I believe we all know that there are two sides to a coin, so before you start running of to get your permanent makeup done you need to know that if wrongly done it can’t be undone easily.
