Is Permanent Make-Up The Solution For You?
Unlike make-up that must be removed and re-applied daily, permanent make-up is a tattoo that uses pigments instead of inks to provide the same appearance as make-up, without the hassle. Permanent make-up is useful for people who are allergic to cosmetics, who just don’t have time to apply make-up, or that have an oily skin that make-up slides off before the day has even started. Does permanent make-up really work? Yes – it successfully mimics natural, topically applied make-up providing a long lasting alternative to the on-off routine of normal make-up.
The most common uses of permanent make-up include eyeliner, filling sparse eyebrows, lip liner and full lip colour. Instead of spending money trying to find cosmetics that do what they claim they will do, like long-lasting lipstick and smudge-proof eyeliner, you can have permanent make-up applied that will look good for up to 4 years. Sun exposure, facial peels and anti-ageing creams can shorten the life expectancy of your permanent make-up, but with the proper care, you will have permanent make-up for a good few years.
Unlike a normal tattoo, permanent make-up is applied using pigments rather than inks. The most popular of these is made by Swiss Color, an excellent pigmentation system that facilitates the combination of colours to match or tone in with existing hair colour or skin tone. Modules differ depending on their application, and can be used to create different effects. An eyebrow filler module will have a softer effect than a module used for eye liner, for example.

If you decide that permanent make-up is the solution for you, you need to be aware that the initial effect may appear quite dark and painted on. Once the tattoo has healed, it may appear to fade – sometimes to the extent that you cannot see the colour anymore. The colour usually strengthens again after a few weeks, but salons will schedule a ‘touch-up’ session 5 to 7 weeks after the first procedure to ensure that the colour is correct.
Use the ointment you are given as directed to optimise healing, and don’t wear make-up for the first week or so. For the first month, wash the area gently – vigorous rubbing will remove pigment. Keep the area out of the sun as much as possible. While the tattoo is healing, you may be tempted to scratch or pick at the crust that forms, particularly since it tends to get quite itchy as it heals. Lips tend to peel after 2 to 3 days – in both cases resist the urge to pull any crust or peeling skin off.
You should not consider permanent make-up if you are allergic to pigmentation inks, if your skin forms scars or keloids easily, or if the skin is cracked, peeling or blistering when the procedure is scheduled. Permanent make-up can be extremely useful for physically or visually impaired people who are unable to apply make-up, helping them to improve their appearance and boosting their self-esteem. Is permanent make-up the solution for you? If you want the benefit of make-up that does not have to be applied every day, day after day, that enhances your appearance without the fuss, and lasts for several years, then yes, permanent make-up is for you.
