Permanent MakeUp
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a procedure that involves applying pigments to the skin to mimic the appearance of makeup. It is a form of tattooing in which specialized pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin using a needle or a tattoo machine.
The most common areas for permanent makeup application are the eyebrows, eyelids, and lips. The purpose of permanent makeup is to enhance and define the features, create symmetry, and save time and effort in daily makeup application.
Specialized pigments are used for permanent makeup. These pigments are formulated to fade over time and are available in a range of colors to match different skin tones and hair colors. It is important to choose a reputable technician who uses high-quality, safe pigments.
