Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique that uses tattoos to produce a design that makes it look like makeup. This technique can be used in lining the eyelashes and other permanent enhancements to improve the appearance of the skin of the face, lips, eyebrows and eyelids.
It is commonly used as a method to create artificial eyebrows especially for people that have lost them due to a disease, old age, chemotherapy, or a genetic reason.
Permanent makeup is also used to disguise scars and white spots in the skin which occur due to vitiligo. While it is popularly known as permanent cosmetics, it can also be called micropigmentation, derma-pigmentation and cosmetic tattooing.
Permanent makeup uses tattooing techniques to imbed pigments into the epidermis. This is perhaps the safest way of creating a look you want. It involves minimal recovery time and has no invasive procedures. The results are immediate and the customer can work with the artist to create a look that is appealing to them. However permanent makeup can fade and needs to be reapplied every 3-8 years depending on the environmental conditions you live in.
Permanent Eyeliner Colors
Using permanent makeup techniques one can enhance or change the eyeliner. There are many styles available in the market that can match the eye of the person looking to use this technique for themselves. Most people choose permanent makeup for eyeliner because it can put an end to irritated eyes from that use of contemporary eye liners. Since it is tattooed on, you will not have watery eye streaks, smeared off smudges and residue collection at the corners of the eyes.
Women choose to take on this form of makeup for various reasons. The following examples might just be a handful of many:
- Tired of drawing on the eyeliner day after day.
- Does not like the way the eyes look without make-up.
- Does not know how to apply the eyeliner on correctly.
- The liners prevent them from swimming, working in the garden or going about a routine that might smudge the makeup.
Permanent eyeliner colors are an excellent solution for women that do not want re-apply make up everyday and want to wake up looking perfectly made up.
Different styles of the eyeliner
The eyeliner can be styled in various ways just like when you draw it using an eyeliner pencil. Since you will be working with the stylist to create your look, make sure you let them know what your preference is. Let them know how you want the liner to look, it could be thick, medium, thin, a full line, half line, or three quarter line. Some other styles include thicker on the other third and thinner on the inner half. An eyeliner artist that has skill and experience will be able to accommodate these requests. Alternately eyelash enhancement can be used for a softer shading to give the appearance of a thicker lash-line. This will make it look like you are barely wearing any eyeliner.
The technician working on the eyeliner with you uses a tattoo machine and in a feathery stroke applies the pigment or color on your eyes. The pigment that you chose is made from iron oxide; this has been used historically to enhance eyes. This also makes them the safest pigments.
Permanent eyeliner color makes the most of your facial makeup. The eyeliner requirement for each eye shape and size is different. The makeup guidebooks give you generic tips on the make-up technique. With permanent eyeliner you don’t have to worry about all this. You can have the perfect eyeliner for your eyes without having to redo them everyday.
